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

Trying to get back to KoL after some years out. Started the run from scratch with BCC, HC Accordion Thief. It seems to be cycling between two accessories repeatedly. Any ideas?

BCC: Maximizing '+outfit war hippy fatigues'

Looks like you're stripping bits out? Potentially.

Anyways, you can look at your maximize tab to see what it's been maximizing... if mafia decides on alternate rounds that the same maximization string gives different results, so be it. If it's maximizing two different things and therefore switching off, then depending on why it's doing it changes whether or not we actually should be making any script changes.

Basically, we need more specific information before we can 'fix' anything, if anything is actually needed.
 
So, is anyone else getting this weird activity where the script does not do any quests, just saying it needs a higher Buffed Primestat, and tells you to adventure at the slope? *Edit: Sorry, a little clarity, it for example says I needed 87 Prime, so I ground it out. Immediately upon re-running, it increased the number. Ground it out, re-ran, number increased, and there is no attempt to run any of the quests. Kind of confused at to exactly what it thinks it needs to keep increasing my Prime stat for.
Worked fine, ran a HC the other day, and it was a beaut!

I've ran into this a couple times, no idea what causes it and each time I ended up progressing the quests a bit manually and it seems fine. Always seems to get stuck before the level 8 quest though.
 
I have seen something like that, a long time ago. I have a vague recollection that there was some kind of variable that controlled "safe adventuring" and when I set it to the unsafe setting the problem went away.

My biggest complaint at the moment is that BCCA runs of of meat and forces manual adventuring to fix the problem. An option to just do the Meatsmith Quest or the Artist Quest and farm/turn in whiskers would be appreciated and probably be always on for me :-)

Is there a way to stop the script from doing the pre-tower Adventurer Contests? It is very bad at them.

*snicker*

I remember when bcca did not handle them at all and we begged for some kind of support. We got it and now it is finally time to look at it and see where improvements are possible.
 
It runs each set through the maximizer, so if you don't like how it does that...
If you're complaining about the combat, then you should probably start using WHAM.

But yes. It's an SVN script, so add your aborts wherever you want. If you have specific constructive suggestions, those may potentially be implemented.
 
Well, the script doesn't use maximiser suggested consumables to pass the contests, presumably to avoid wasting expensive items. There isn't really a neat way around that - with the *best*, but not good, solution I can think of being to check mall prices of consumables suggested. I can usually use consumables gathered in my HC runs such that I spend very few turns on the contests. Using just equipment often means they take 15-25 turns in total, which is marginal in my 1,000+ turn HC ascensions, to be fair.

How do I set an abort, please?
 
Code: 
abort("This is my custom abort.");

And that's mostly because I don't think I ever found a good way to make the command line maximizer only show purchasable consumables, like the GUI does.
 
Code: 
> Level 7 Starting
> BCC: We have completed the stage [friarssteel].
> BCC: We have completed the stage [cyrpt].
> BCC: We have not completed the stage [innaboxen].
> BCC: Getting Clovers
> BCC: Going to try to get a bartender.
> BCC: There was a problem getting the box.
> BCC: levelMe(53, true) called.
> Level 8 Starting
> BCC: We have completed the stage Trapper
> BCC: We have completed the stage [piratefledges].
> BCC: levelMe(68, true) called.

I've been getting this helpful error message with innaboxen for multiple AT ascensions now. Finally decided to look through the code and see what was going on:
1) I'm not familiar with the scripting language, but getbox is called when getBox is defined. Does a capitalization error matter in this language?
2) Since the revamp in June, the Fun House now requires the Epic Weapon to be crafted before you can unlock it from the guild. Comments in the script suggest it doesn't know that.
3) My AT Epic Weapon is not being crafted.

Is this now the intended behavior? Are people manually adventuring in the garves to get their Epic Weapon? Or is this just a missing feature? Any advice is appreciated!
 
If you still want your epic weapon, you currently need to adventure to get it. It's not crafted, just looted from the proper grave, but if you want it, that's what you need to do...

Got it, thanks! Hopefully someday it'll be automated too :)

And just a sanity check, there's no other way to unlock the fun house for boxen?
 
Not that I've found besides the nemesis series. I believe the Avatar and other such classes without guild access have no access to the fun house...
 
For the last few ascensions, I've noticed the script
1) Uses adventures in the Arid Ultra-Dry Desert without being Ultrahydrated. I previously thought it was due to my stopping the script halfway through, but today I ran the whole quest in one shot and it happened again.
2) Continues to adventure there for several adventures (40-50) after the quest is complete. When I abort and restart the script, it goes to the hidden city portion as it should.

Is there anything I can look for next run to help debug this? (if it is a bug)

Edit: Could it be triggered when I get the stone rose and the script is expecting Ultrahydration? Here's where it seems to have gone off the rails.

Probably. Not really any good way to plan for semirares hijacking expected adventures. But that's probably why it went bad for you; your ultrahydration was never lost, because you never had it.
