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

[Theraze]

Does look like it's some sort of mafia reg-exp matching overflow bug. Not sure exactly how to describe it for a good bug report without it happening to me.

Nope.
Inifinite recursion because autoManaRestore is disabled and MP is too low (to use the first skill in css?), but recovery tresholds are not violated, and ... there is no macro or the macro is only a one-liner, and first action is not consult script.

Tl,dr: low mp.

 

[DeathPhoenyx]

Is there any way we can influence the way the script changes our gear? There are many instances where I have to stop using it because for some reason it insists in equipping gear that is not adequate or doing stuff like equipping only melee weapons to my mox characters that make them not being able to beat their enemies in combat.

 

[bumcheekcity]

Yes, if you include CLI output logs, examples of when this occurred, what the script equipped, and what you had that you'd like to equip, also whether you were playing SC or HC or not.

 

[Mr_Crac]

BCC: This script currently does not support any more of the revamped pyramid quest. Reveal the pyramid manually, and then run this script again to continue.

Any chance to get that fixed in this century?

Okay, so not to be an ass: I will give 1 (one) Mr. Accessory to the person who fixes this once and for all. I am seriously tired and fed up of having to do this desert quest part again and again and again. So yeah, this is worth ten dollars to me. Anyone up for it?

 

[heeheehee]

item compass = $item[uv-resistant compass];
adventure(1, $location[shore]);
acquire(1, compass);
equip($slot[off-hand], compass);
adventure(50, $location[The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert]);

 

[Mr_Crac]

The script already does acquire a compass. What it needs to do is, out the top of my head:
-to adventure in the desert one step at a time, while staying hydrated (so needs to visit the Oasis as well)
-check the current progress, i.e. what percentage of the desert is completed
-if we have some of Gnasir's wanted items, trade them in (I think it does already do so, at least partially?)
-check the current amount of worm-riding manual page, whether 15 is reached, get the drum machine and use the worm-riding hooks

Quite possible that I missed something there.

 

[heeheehee]

You don't need to be hydrated to explore the desert, nor do you need to wormride. Hydration just means you don't get nasty debuffs when adventuring in the desert, and you can find pages; wormriding just gives you +30% exploration but requires that you find a drum machine.

 

[dixmcdix]

I would have added the caveat "with a change committed to the svn"

If you could get that bit of code committed heeheehee then you'd be in the money! But somehow I doubt it would happen. =D

 

[Theraze]

Check if 436 finishes that up for you. Should.

Basic hydration and adventuring support. If you have adventures, aren't hydrated and the exploration isn't done, adventure to get hydrated. If you have adventures and are hydrated, adventure as many turns as you're hydrated or as many adventures as you have left, whichever is less. If you run out of adventures and the quest isn't done, abort with an informative message.

Edit: And 437 makes AoSP still get the Steel Margarita. Since it wouldn't actually try to get that for you as it was already above the 'normal' limit. Unrelated to desert exploration. Related to my general frustration.

 

[Crowther]

Why are you switching outfits and familiars to item drop when acquiring ultrahydrated? It seems wasteful, but maybe I'm missing something important.

 

[dixmcdix]

Any chance we could get a user selectable variable on this desert change? I'd rather do the quest manually with wormriding/killing jar/stone rose to shave off some adventures if none of that is implemented. If it is implemented then awesome!

If not... Oh well no biggie! Beggars can't be choosers after all.

I note with amusement that several folks have asked for support because automation trumps turn count for them and something is better than nothing. Immediately after that happens, there is a very polite request to allow for nothing since turn count trumps automation for them.

Maybe this will inspire someone to write a desert script that manages all of the options and then offer it up for inclusion in BCCA?

 

[dixmcdix]

To be fair in post #4010 Eliteofdelete did offer up a solution that implied it used the items but the link to the proposed script is now dead. I've PM'd Eliteofdelete for an updated link for sharing here.

I like automation as much as the next d00d but I'd be super happy to have the adventure cutting implemented as well. I can live with losing a couple adventures in the mean time though. I'm just happy that anyone keeps this script updated!!

 

[Theraze]

Which reminds me, I was actually going to run 2 adventures there instead of 1 so that it had a higher chance of grabbing the stone rose. Thanks for the reminder... the switching to item drop is because that's what the initial adventure did, useless as it was when you guarantee a single noncombat choice and immediately follow it up with going somewhere else without the same bit.

The maximizing of item drop is so that for the 3 or 4 fights where you don't end up getting the stone rose at the oasis, you have a higher chance of getting a drum machine and MAYBE getting to skip part of the adventuring repeats.

Edit: Looks like the biggest problem is that Gnasir adventure apparently changes based on what you have available - you always take the same choices, but get different results. Oh boy. Anyways, probably try to avoid it by using recursive looping - it takes the first available option, then uses that, and repeats until it doesn't have anything else left or the exploration is done. Grr.

Edit2: Try r439 or whatever the current one is. Should always pick the next Gnasir reward. If there are multiple rewards available, it should loop through and get them all.

it just happened again. I am doing the McGuffin quest, the script is about to do the palindrome but it equips a rather useless gear set hat has barely any +mox on (playing avatar of Sneaky Pete ATM), then it recognises that it doesn't have enough mox and wants to go to the ballroom to farm 20 moxie points.

Even if I put on moxie gear manually myself it would still put on the other gear.

Image of the gear it equips:

String found in the modifier maximizer after the script runs:

0 beeosity, mainstat 186 max, -melee +moxie experience +0.5 mp regen min +0.5 mp regen max, 5 hp, +equip talisman o' nam -equip hilarious comedy prop

And here is an image of me gearing up for moxie and the talisman, what I think the script should be gearing me up with:

 

[Crowther]

5 HP

I noticed poor outfit choices being made and removed that 5 HP from my script and it worked much better. I don't know how well that translates to others.

 

[DeathPhoenyx]

and how do I prevent the script from using stuff like that in the modifier maximizer?

also, looking at that string, the script seems to be limiting how much mainstat it wants me to have for some odd reason, and it even limits it below the threshold that he is going to ask me to pass right in the next step

 

[Theraze]

The health maximization was added by me back in November with revision 403, because the classes had all just been mixed up and so WHAM and BatBrain had no idea how to handle anything, and kept trying to run combats too close. Since things are much better spaded now, let's drop that back down to a half health maximization rather than 5 times. Here's r440.

 

[Theraze]

Ha... the new code I made DID just complete the desert for me. Of course, since I'm AoSP and elected for lazy desert exploration with my motorbike, the bike made it finish the desert on the same series where it would have turned in my 15 pages and tried to use the drum machine. Or should have... but hey, it worked.
