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

Also ran into the endless out of adventure thing today while in the battlefield. No idea why and I was at a meeting at the time so no way of scrolling back... :)

Feature request: After the DoD when you've successfully acquired the wand, use all small and large boxes so that the potions can be identified before the gates to the NS tower.

My quick-fix for this atm is to make the check at the end of bcascWand() be:
Code: 
	if (i_a("dead mimic") > 0)
	{
		cli_execute("use dead mimic");
		cli_execute("use * large box");
		cli_execute("use * small box");
	}

That can probably be done better (by use of use() for example).

Also, while adventuring in the dungeons of doom, I suspect you should check for < 5000 meat and abort. My mp restore value was way high and it spent a fortune on getting 50 mp, and then I couldn't get the wand.

I've implemented these changes. Thanks for them :D

A feature request: If a tower fight needs powdered organs, automatically check for canopic jars and use them if they are in inventory.

Easy enough to do by hand, but nice to further automate the process. As a side note, would it be worth adding semi-auto zaps for other tower-required items?
Click to expand...

The script uses both canopic jars and black picnic baskets before the tower in 0.14.

It then proceeds to hit the Friar's.

Also would be nice if you're Post-Friar but pre-spleen/liver if the script waited until you were done with your rollover turns before using the spleen items, since you might have the ss-spleen at that time. Otherwise you can't consume it until the following day (I realize this is fringe for people).
Click to expand...

I should have fixed this Friars thing. Unfortunately, the script will continue to use spleen items as familiars are switched. The logic is too much to wait.

Same problem as someone mentioned before with the Hole in the sky.
it spent a whole lot of turns in the HitS (I am now close to lvl12) and after I stopped it and told Mafia to do an adventure manually, it created all the items and I had 40 lines, 39 stars and 5 star charts to spare.
Click to expand...

I think I've got this this time in 0.14.

The script have gone stuck in a loop, where it do not have access to the Knob Gob Lab since the script have not killed the Goblin King. The flag for Knobking is set as completed though.

You don't have to have killed the King. You have to have the key. Can I have CLI output?

Winterbay said:
Yesterday the script went through the pirates and I thought it was a bit short but it said that it had done everything. Today during the level 11 quest it got stuck because it didn't have the pirate fledges. Looking through the log this is the part where it fought:

So it appears to have thought that after the fight with the clingy pirate ended after the use of the napkin it suddenly had the fledges while in fact it didn't.
Using 0.13.

Fixed in 0.14.

Great script. I am going to use this again. I do have two feature requests though.

1) Trophy check. Before breaking the prism, do a check to see if there are any trophies available that must be purchased before breaking the prism. There are a few that become unavailable if the prism has been broken. If they are available, abort with a message that those trophies are available. If those specific ones are not available, continue as normal (break the prism). Alternatively, a Yes/No prompt could ask if you wanted to buy those trophies.

2) Hobo glyphs. Before adventuring in a certain area (no need to go off path) where hobo glyphs are transiently available (the glyph is no longer available if you ...), check to see if a hobo binder exists, and if the glyph for that area has been collected. If so, continue as normal. If not, equip the hobo binder until the glyph has been collected. I missed the glyph on the road to the white castle this way and can only collect one glyph this ascension. I now have 12.

Thanks for the script!
Click to expand...

1) Yes. I'll do a check for that.
2) A fine request, but I'm afraid I'm going to turn it down, it's too much beyond the scope of the script.

Ahh yeh that is me thinking a few steps ahead of what I'm typing. I'm thinking that if King = dead, player is sure to have the key as it is a guaranteed drop.

Not sure if you still need the CLI output as, yeh, that was me thinking something else than what I wrote, but here it is:

and then a lot of those blocks, setting MCD, setting familiar and rying to visit Alarm. I then aborted and ran Rinn's level 5 quest script (I believe it is Rinn who made them at least) to wtfpwn the goblin King, which gave me the Lab key, and starting the script again, it had no problem with Alarm. Since the script flag was set as me having completed the King, but with him still up, the script must have thought that since the boss is down, and the key is a guaranteed drop from the boss, then I must have the key.

Fix: https://github.com/quisquous/bumcheekcend/commit/e71dc42b70fec217c10d1d775ec2a2223a1af0ac

I think it might be useful if you added a function that all adventuring (whether via cli_execute, adventure, or visit_url) went through. That one function could check for being out of adventures (thus solving it everywhere).

On that same note, is there any way for a between battle script to know where the next adventure is going to be? For example, if I want to be smart about olfacting, I may want to make sure that I have enough MP before adventuring in certain areas. If there's not a way, maybe that proposed adventuring function could set a property for where the next adventure is, so that it could be smarter about what it does.

Regarding next location, the function my_location() should return where you're going to adventure next... zarqon's BBB uses that to decide whether or not to eat another cookie in the cookiecheck function.
 
When using the Skeleton key in the Lair, the script is doing it Cloverless, instead of using that last clover that it is saving for something.

Also, same this time. When trying to figure out what the Bang potions do, it grind the Hole in the Sky, which is just fine. It do not stop when it have tested all the potions I have thoughm if it fail to find the one it need.

After dropping HCO for the silly SSPD tattoo I ascended and I'm trying again. This is with V0.13.

I logged out of Mafia, then back in to make sure there was no residual data. Then I started Day 1. After selling gems to get a radio I execute the script:

So basically just some bad RNG?
Click to expand...

Yeah, horribly bad. Though I'd have expected to change to the Bander after getting 3 spleen items.

Unrelated: it would be really nice if when you have a spleen of steel you automagically go for more spleen drops.

Unrelated 2: and "maximize adventures" might be useful at the end of the the script. At worse you just re-equip moxie gear if it's not really your end of day.

Unrelated 3: I usually have bundles of MP left over. Adding "leash" to the mood would be nice. I've added it via Mafia but sometimes the script seems to delete it.
 
No, it only changes on switch of location. I can't do an OR check on goals.

I'll have it go for more spleen if you have SoS.

The script can't tell when it ends, because it's usually an abort-style command.

The script adds leash when you're going for items and have KGE outfit, or are above level 9. It overwrites your mood pretty much all the time, though v0.14 will make a separate one.
 
0.13 adds support for spanglerack as a replacement of hound dog, but I still see the script using the slimeling for the pirate's cove. The spanglerack doesn't change the combat rate, so shouldn't it use the spanglerack there as well?

You might need to clover for gum to get inside the Sorceress's Entryway. Once you've gotten past the gates, you don't need gum, and if you have a spare clover, you may as well use it against the skeleton, eh?
Click to expand...

That's a good point, though it's still possible to require a tower item. I'm going to add telescope checking to 0.15 and see if this can't be sorted there.

Oh, and the spanglerack will be used for items at the pirates cove. Thanks for letting me know, shademaster :D
 
Is there a way to get the script to stop leaving you with say, 10 adventures left if you don't have boxen? Otherwise if I don't pay close attention and abort it, it can run me out of adventures and leave you with nothing to craft a decent drink or food item.

I guess I really only have this issue early, but what if you're waiting to eat/drink until you get some more drops of booze or parts to cook food?
 
Pay close attention and press escape when you have 10 adventures left? Alternatively, you could plan on using Inigo, or making yourself boxen... All valid options.
