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

Ehhm, I don't recall this being mentioned but, if I have the Everything look Yellow effect, skip using He-boulder (as it can't Yellow Ray anyway) and use anther familiar instead, such as a +item one.
 
slyz's experiment seems to be a bit of a good omen. I'll have a look at the HITS and try to see what the problem is properly before I release 0.14.

picklish, the script doesn't abort if you don't have the skills in moods. I've been adventuring with Disco Concentration (or whatever the trivial DB one is) for a couple ascensions with no problems. Is this a mafia setting?

Ferdawoon, this should happen already:

Code: 
//Changes the familiar based on a string representation of what we want. 
boolean setFamiliar(string famtype) {
	//The very first thing is to check 100% familiars
	if(bcasc_100familiar != "") {
		print("BCC: Your familiar is set to a 100% "+bcasc_100familiar, "purple");
		cli_execute("familiar "+bcasc_100familiar);
		return true;
	}
	
	//Then a quick check for if we have Everything Looks Yellow
	if (have_effect($effect[Everything Looks Yellow]) > 0 && famtype == "hebo") { famtype = "items"; }

Sometimes it works just fine, and then sometimes it does not work at all. You can start the script or try to do autoadventuring and it just won't work until you remove the buff that you don't have from the mood.
I've no idea what it is that's causing it, but the non.existent bug seems to be the trigger at least.

Edit: On a similar vein I wonder if it would be possible for the script to change to a specified mood before it adventures. Spmetimes when I start the script I've had the mood set to apathetic and mafia don't call any of the buffs added to that mood so it is rather pointless to do that...
ANd if you have a mood set up for something else and forget about that before you run the script it will write over that one as well, I have now created a bcc_ascend mood that I try to remember to switch to but it would be nice if the script could do so by itself.

I have been having a problem with getting the tavern done. When I come across a rat to fight mafia gets confuzzled about what combat round it is and doesn't finish the fight. It looks like it then tries to continue with the script to find another square to explore, but can not since there is a combat still going on.
It could be something with FTF, but at the moment I do not know.
I had this in 0.12 also.

Code: 
[112] Tavern Cellar (row 4, col 5)

Can't find faucet or dark squares in the tavern.

Edit:
I had a thought and checked my CSS.
Code:

attack with weapon

I thought maybe the round was getting messed up due to FTF going and then css trying to pickpocket. I took out the pickpocket bit and had a slightly different output, but the same result.

Code: 
[116] Tavern Cellar (row 4, col 4)

Well, the script may have not aborted for you, but it's definitely aborted for me and for several other folks. I totally understand your skepticism, but I repeatedly have gotten into a state where Mafia itself would abort any adventuring (even directly from the CLI) until I cleared the trivial skill out of my mood. It's possible it's just a Mafia bug that only occurs under some circumstances. I realize that Mafia shouldn't abort if you don't have the skills, but I'm just trying to say that it'd be nice if your script could work around when it does, even if you personally aren't seeing that issue. :)

Out of curiosity, what Mafia version are you using? I pull and build the latest from source control before I play every day, so maybe it's something that's been introduced after the version that you're on?
 
Like the fix I mentioned above, I feel like I'm carrying a number of my own minor changes along from version to version that you might not be interested in adding to your official version.

Would you be opposed to me keeping my own slightly modified version of this script in some publicly available source control (i.e. github)? Also, do you have any software license that you release your scripts under (i.e. public domain, BSD, GPL)?

Thanks. :)
 
I use the latest version at any given point in time. If it's aborting for people, then I'll add the skill checks into 0.14. It doesn't really make that much of a difference anyway, I suppose. Only a few characters. What other changes are you carrying through that I have missed? My mafia code is not released under any particular license. It's just code in the public domain. Feel free to support a fork if you wish, but I'd much prefer to work as many things into the main script as possible. As I say, if I've missed stuff, do remind me and I'll get it in ASAP. The script was on the backburner over CRIMBCO but now I'm starting it back up again.

I think I might also have the script create a "bumcheekascend" mood to automate from, and use that, rather than messing with the default one.

@Xenthes, this definitely looks like an FTF problem.

I'd have to look. Some of it is stuff that I hadn't fully tested enough to post back, like burning teleportitis or selling war items.

Oh, excellent. I certainly wasn't planning to stop handing back changes. :)
 
It would seem that at least some of the settings I make in the relay don't actually change anything. I set the script to make the Chef and Bartender, but I am now lvl12 and about to start the battle, and it have not created either of them. When starting the script it mention nothing about a flag to create Chef or Bartender.
I'm going to change the settings in the script manually (by editing it in notepad like I used to do) as it will be a busy day and I will not have time to babysit the script to see how it handle the lvl12 sidequest settings I made in the relay.

This is one reason I wanted the Relay script to make a note when I click Save, so I know if it have saved anything or just refreshed the page =S

(EDIT: Dang, you have removed those settings, or at least made them not as easily available at the top of the script. Will have to babysit it after all.)
(EDIT2: It would seem that the sidequests work as they should. It have done the Arena and is now working on the Junkyard and since they were by default set to False, at least those settings work.)

Well, all I know is that when I posted that, in the CLI I got a message saying something like "Trying to use the Heboulder but it is all yellow." and when I ran out of adventures I had still 7adv worth of Looking Yellow.


EDIT2: I get the message that it want to use Spleen items if I have any. It do not, however. Mafia tell me that I have 5 Coffee sticks though so it is not lack of something to use.

and that message repeated in absurdum. Dunno what it did just before that as the CLI is filled with "Ran out of Adventures" and I noticed it when my computer started to lag.

The Council let me know that:

The Spookiness still emanates from the Cyrpt, Adventurer. See if you can find and destroy the source, and bring us back proof of your conquest.

A simply talk to Bart Ender solved the Tavern (did you not implement a line that made the script talk to Bart when completing the Tavern Cellar? I recall you saying hat you did) but the Bonerdagon was still up.

@ferdawoon, you can always check if the settings have updated by going to another page, then reloading the settings page again. I'm fairly sure there's CLI output too. But you make a good point, and the relay script should definitely print something to the screen.

2) That sounds a little strange. Can you show the CLI output from where it failed to do that? There's been no change to that code for some time now.

3) If you can catch where it's looping the "Ran out of adventures", let me know. I know those are particularly annoying because they ruin the CLI output but it may be available from the session log.

4) I fixed it in 0.13, but only if you do the tavern quest in 0.13. I imagine you did the tavern quest in 0.12, in which case I would expect this error to reoccur (same with the Bonerdagon). When you do your next ascension, this shouldn't occur.

When I close close Mafia completly, wait until after Rollover, log in to spend my turns and check the relay, the settings are as I left them. I am, however, still level 12 and the script have not created a Chef or Bartender. A Serum of Sarcasm would have been sweet when fighting The Big Wisniewski, and some better food and drinks as well.

Sadly no. When I logged back on today everything worked fine, but if there is a sessionlog lying around I will check and see if I can find it. I thought it was just a "This is not the right monster so I'm attacking" message but the 7adv left of Looking Yellow when I ran out of Adv (with He-Boulder active) for the day convinced me.
Guess I should make it a habit of always adding the CLI outputs when I make a bugreport =)

I will check when I get back home. Had to rush to catch a bus but Mafia is still open and with a few adv left for me to get the loop bug again.

Ahh that explains it. For some reason I thought it was fixed in v0.12. Still don't explain the Bonerdagon being left alive though. Maybe my Moxie is not high enough.
 
The script won't make innaboxen at all, regardless of settings, if you don't have a spring and aren't in muscle sign. It ALSO required a chef's hat for the chef. This was because I'm fairly sure that farming for these items wouldn't be worth the adventures you'd save. Perhaps that should be a little clearer in the relay script.

Was the output:
Code: 
BCC: We would LIKE to use a Yellow Ray somewhere in this zone, but we can't because Everything Looks Yellow.

In any case, the script seems to take the HeBo out and adventuring without checking for the Yellow effect. It would be better to replace the hebo by an item familiar, and only switch to the hebo once the effect wears off.

I think the best way would be to add a boolean parameter to bumAdv:
PHP: 
boolean bumAdv(location loc, string maxme, string famtype, string goals, string printme, string combat, string consultScript, boolean HeBo)

This way, famtype would be the regular items or itemsnc and the HeBo parameter would allow to override this.
  • If you don't have a He-Boulder or a pumpkin, set HeBo to false.
  • If all the conditions are filled (you have a He-Boulder or a pumpkin and you don't have the Yellow effect):
- use the He-Boulder, or the famtype familiar if you don't have a He-Boulder
- set consultScript to "consultHeBo" instead of the one that was passed
  • If you have a He-Boulder or a pumpkin, but you have turns of the Yellow effect, you could adventure until the effect wears out instead of adventuring for my_adventures() advs, then do the above.

Nothing has been changed in the puzzle piece code for quite a long while. Can you post the CLI output from that period?
Click to expand...

Right before this happened, It got stuck at NS entrance because i didn't have a wand at that point. In order to get said wand, i manually set mafia to adventure in the DoD and set the goal to dead mimic. After I did the hedge rotate using the mafia script, I started to run your script again.

At that point, mafia never reset the zone or goal when it started adventuring using your script. It dose that some time if you manually set kol's auto adventure sometime. Which I guess your script may have been relying on to set the goal to 1 headge maze so that it would stop the loop every time you got a puzzle piece.

Me and Ferdawoon have come to the conclusion that the problem is in fact that since the script has, for some reason, not finished the Cyrpt the script won't get the brain and skull from the clover adventure in the post-cyrpt cemetary and thus will not build any in-the-boxes.
