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

[Theraze]

Can you be more clear about what is happening when that does what instead of something else?

The script doesn't ever try to equip the actual reality goggles. The word 'reality' never even shows up in the script.
If mafia has a bug while trying to equip an item through the maximizer, then please try to make a clear, replicable bug report so that it can be fixed.
If the script has an error where it tries to do something wrong, then we need more information on how to avoid that.

Thank you.

 

[Landamus]

I'm not really clear on what it's trying to do.

[Theraze]

Did you have actual reality goggles in storage? Did you have them in inventory? If you look at the item manager, do you see them in either place?

After you look at item manager, what happens after you run a refresh all to force mafia to reconsider everything it knows about your items in various locations? Does it still look the same, either in terms of storage or not?

For that matter, have actual reality goggles just become restricted with our new path? What happens if you try to pull them manually through the relay browser or chat?

 

[Landamus]

They've become restricted on the current path.

They are in Hagnk's.
Looks the same after reloading Mafia.
They are not pullable.

I ascended under the new path.

 

[Theraze]

Does mafia know that they're restricted? Because that would be New Content for mafia, not something that the script can or should handle. Unless there's either auto-detection which isn't working or knowledge but mafia trying to use it anyways through the maximizer, either of which would actually be bugs.

My suggestion would be verifying whether mafia knows that they're restricted and creating the relevant New Content or Bug Report based on that.

 

[Veracity]

As mentioned in the New Content thread somebody already started for this, this is a KoL bug.
I don't know if anybody has filed a bug report with KoL about it yet, though.

 

[Theraze]

Sorry, I'm on restricted data for the weekend because the hotel wifi sucks which means I'm not getting to read as many of the threads currently. I'll shut up until I can actually read the whole board again.

 

[fewyn]

This has been a reoccuring issue I've run into. At some point during my runs (not every time) on AT/DB I get stuck in a loop where all the script ever wants to do is level my prime stat in the ballroom. Any ideas what might be causing this? The last time I caught it I was level 14 before I noticed what it was doing on one of my multis.

 

[Theraze]

If there's a scaling wandering mob, that could cause it potentially. Other than that, the easy way to avoid it if you have any number of decent skills and a good CCS set up is to simply tell it not to try to get to safe moxie levels...

To actually fix the problem, I'd need to know which zone it wanted to adventure in. And everything regarding potential wandering mobs that you might have set up.

 

[fewyn]

I don't think I have any scaling wandering mobs unless one has magically been added recently.

[Theraze]

So, some part of the fledge quest. Again.
Since it had already gotten there, it doesn't show which zone you were necessarily trying to go to.

Wouldn't happen to know which stage of the quest you were on, would you? Still flyering or up to the actual fledge collection?

 

[fewyn]

Looks like it hasn't even done any of the Pirate quest.

 

[Theraze]

Outfit/no-outfit? Is it collecting the pirate cove gear, or the insults?

 

[fronobulax]

Not a complaint, just feedback.

The script had trouble with the tower contests. My intuition is that WHAM was not picking a good strategy - noodles then Weapon until dead usually worked manually, but WHAM never tried it - and there may be better strings to feed the mazimizer but no concrete suggestions yet.

The script inflicted sleaze damage when it complained about being unable to beat the meat. The real problem was that it could not find enough meat to maintain a Mood and so aborted.

 

[fewyn]

I have the outfit, it hasn't even started the side quest at all other than having the uniform. (Not progressing this character incase more info is needed.)

If BatBrain through WHAM believes that it has a winning combat strategy that doesn't work, that would be something where BatBrain would need to be given new information to make it more accurate. Maybe the percentage damage chance is too low? But that would be something for either BatBrain to fix internally or a tweak to batfactors, which anyone can do.

 

[Theraze]

You should be able to level. It looks like this is the relevant code:

		//The Embarassed problem is only an issue if you're a moxie class. Otherwise, ignore it.
		if (my_primestat() == $stat[Moxie]) {
			cli_execute("speculate up Embarrassed; quiet");
			int safeBarrMoxie = 93;
			int specMoxie = 0;
			while (!hitTheBarrr && in_hardcore()) {
				specMoxie = numeric_modifier("_spec", "Buffed Moxie");
				if (specMoxie > safeBarrMoxie || bcasc_ignoreSafeMoxInHardcore) { hitTheBarrr = true; }
				if (!hitTheBarrr) { levelMe(my_basestat($stat[Moxie])+3, true); }
			}

I didn't write this code, but if I read it properly, if you can't hit 94 buffed moxie while embarassed, gain 3 more moxie and try again.

My guess is that the speculative check isn't working properly for some reason. The 'easy' fix is to simply aim for more than 124 buffed moxie rather than aiming for 93 speculative moxie. Anyone see when this would cause horrible and worse chaos than the poor people who have levelled up to 15 because this speculative check doesn't always work right?

Edit: The obvious chaos that I missed was that 124 is with a 25 percent reduction, not 30 percent. Since the proper target is 132 and some change, we need to beat 133 instead. Committed.

That looks to have taken care of it

 

[Theraze]

And now that I've changed it, I just realized what the problem is... It's no longer _spec, but Generated:_spec. Ha.

So, preference between the speculation and not? It's faster to not have to speculate and generate that, but it's more future-proof to have speculation in case TPTB change things up in the future, since as soon as mafia updates to know what it does, BCA would be able to run it safely. No real preference on my side.

 

[RESPRiT]

I think I found a small issue, bear with me though, I'm very new to this.

The bcascManorBathroom(), bcascManorBedroom(), and bcascManorGallery() functions have a small issue with checking the completion of each zone. When checking the Quest Log they look for the "Lady Spookyraven's Dance" text in the current quests to see if each item has been acquired. This would be fine if the fallback wasn't to check the Quest Log for the completion of the quest. The reason this is a problem is that the Quest Log doesn't display "Lady Spookyraven's Dance" under the [completed quests] tab (only "Lady Spookyraven's Unfinished Businesses" after finishing "Lady Spookyraven's Babies"), which causes the if condition in the else case to always fail.

bcascManorBathroom() - Line 5851

	string questLog = visit_url("questlog.php?which=1");
	if(contains_text(questLog, "Lady Spookyraven's Dance")) {
		if (!contains_text(questLog, "her powder puff from the Haunted Bathroom") && contains_text(questLog, "her powder puff")) {
			checkStage("manorbathroom", true);
			return true;
		}
 		} else {
