bumcheekcend.ash - A zero setup semi-automated ascension script!

You know what's weird? It clearly works in Firefox, which means that clearly, everybody who uses this script uses Firefox, because that's the first I heard of it. Well, fixed anyway.
 
Could be fine in Opera and Safari and IE... (yeah, Chrome's more nitpicky than other browsers)
edit: Of those three, just Safari. Whee!

But yeah, I'd imagine most folks who play KoL also use FF, if not just for the GM scripts. Especially ActiveChat -- that one's just awesome.

Back to the ascension script -- I'm not entirely sure why, but it got stuck in a loop with the giant's castle. For whatever reason, it had gotten the egg, but didn't make the rowboat, so it never cleared the giant castle flag. Restarting the script made no difference.

Realized this after lots of turn-burning, so I made the rowboat, and it's back to normal. I'll hunt up session logs if you want.
 
Doesn't look like you need to look at session logs there really - just whack another check for quantum egg/rowboat (and make the rowboat if necessary) in the beginning of boolean bcascCastle() around line 900. You could do the same thing with the SOCK ~850.
 
I've added a couple of extra "make a rowboat" checks there just in case mafia fails to make the rowboat for any reason. Version 0.13 will be out today and hopefully have a much better lair part. It's all automated except the first gate. Which needs to be.
 
If I could make a suggestion (though I imagine it's been suggested already) could your ascension script buy essential quest items and outfits from the mall if the user allows it. You could possibly call the acquire function in the kolmafia cli. Most of the item it's not worth the adventures getting things like harem perfume. Unless of course there is already a function for this in the script.
 
As per the first post:
This is bumcheekascend, a semi-automated hardcore moxie ascension script. Its stated intent is to allow people to ascend hardcore using a very small amount of RL time, but still being slightly optimal, hopefully doing 5-7 day ascensions.

I.e. this script is meant to be used in Hardcore where mall access is not available.
 
Winterbay wins a cookie. This script is NOT going to be useful for softcore other than by someone manually pulling twenty quest items then running it as if you were hardcore. Certainly not casual ascensions. What the heck is the point of a not-one-day casual ascension anyway?
 
Well, why would you automate a casual ascension?

The only reason to automate runs is perming.

Anyway, a suggestion that came up in /clan last night. As soon as you reach the ability to hit 120 or whatever safe ballroom moxie is, you go straight into the Bedroom as soon as you need to powerlevel. If you can't hit safe bedroom moxie (which you can't, let's face it), you just run away. You'll be wasting a few stats, but way less than you'd lose by levelling elsewhere. Besides, you have to unlock it anyway.

I'm going to automate the Bedroom in 0.13. The problem is not safe moxie, the problem is (was) that of now knowing whether we'd knocked the key out of the top drawer in the relavent adventure. Thankfully, thanks to Theraze, it's cool. I was going to run away from all the monsters in there anyway.
 
This is my first use of the script. Pretty interesting stuff. Thanks BCC for the excellent offer. I just don't have time to play 5hrs/day -- TwilightHeroes has my attention.

I'm attempting to have the script do my last Oxy run. HippoKing didn't think it would be a problem -- not sure how long it will take, though. Anything less than a month is fine with me.

Anyway, on day one it got 4 spleen items for me. But on day 2 it didn't get any. I wasn't sure if this was because I already had 4? or because it was the same RL day, just after rollover? Or something else.

Also, it had a bit of a problem in the tavern -- though this might be a the consult script's issue:

Code: 
[49] Tavern Cellar (row 3, col 4)
Encounter: drunken rat
Round 0: NardoLoopa wins initiative!
Round 1: NardoLoopa tries to steal an item!
You acquire an item: rat whisker
choice.php?whichchoice=496&option=1&pwd
choice.php?whichchoice=509&option=1&pwd
choice.php?whichchoice=510&option=1&pwd
choice.php?whichchoice=511&option=2&pwd
choice.php?whichchoice=512&option=2&pwd
choice.php?whichchoice=513&option=1&pwd
choice.php?whichchoice=514&option=1&pwd
choice.php?whichchoice=515&option=1&pwd

Resolving combat manually worked, of course.
 
Just started using this script, and I encountered a problem in the Giant's Castle. I wasn't at my computer when it happened, but the script kept adventuring in the castle long after I had all the required items (11 heavy Ds, 13 giant needles, 9 awful poetry journals, 14 furry furs, and 15 wheel encounters). It kept going until I ran out of turns.
 
This is a known bug and has been fixed in 0.13. I'm fairly sure.

Nardo, did the script not get more spleen items because you weren't level 4 and hadn't used the first lot up? I'd be interested how a 99% automated Oxy run would do. The script has done 5-day HCNP runs, so could probably do a 15-20 day HCO run.

I was level 3 at the end of Day-1 and had 4 spleen items. I logged in after rollover (same RL day) and it kept using the bander (which was the last fam from Day-1). I still had the 4 spleen items in my inventory. Suspecting that might be the issue, I huffed the spleen items and auto adv again. But it still didn't try to pick up spleen items. Instead, it chose +item (hound) for sonars, then YR harem. It used the boulder for a few more turns after that, i think.

Yeah, I'm excited to see how it does as Oxy too.
