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

[Ferdawoon]

Doing a Seal Clubber run with v0.18.1
It tried to do some leveling in the Gallery but it aborted saying it could not access the gallery. The opening of the gallery is not scripted? Got the gallery key manually and it worked out just fine.

Also found a loop.

Level 10 Starting
BCC: We have not completed the stage [airship].
Using 1 enchanted bean...
Finished using 1 enchanted bean.
Using 1 enchanted bean...
Finished using 1 enchanted bean.
Using 1 enchanted bean...
Finished using 1 enchanted bean.

When restarting the script after the loop it report that I need 2 more mainstat and I'm still lvl9 so no wonder using the Enchanted Bean did not work.
The condition when starting to grind Muscle stats in the gallery was 85 Muscle so dunno why it aborted before that, trying to start the lvl10 quest.

The one time I tried to use BCA, it failed to finish levelling to level 2 properly, believing that it was completed a substat too early. Possible that you're getting a similar issue there, where its belief is that the level comes a substat or two before it actually does, and so it jumps to the next stage...

version 0.18.1

Levelling in the ballroom from level 9 to 10

Using a dance card, i hit level 10 at turn 3, and the script finished and hit Rotting Matilda. All good. Then it used another dance card (which was fine), cycled through the 4 turns, but at the end of that decided it was time to open the airship. Luckily it stopped to buff so i could manually abort and go back and dance with Matilda!

edit.

And again, levelling from 10 to 11, it is working through a cycle of 5 turns looking for a dance card when i hit level 11. It didn't find a dance card, but instead of recognizing that levelling is not needed at this point, it goes back to ballroom to try it again.

edit edit.

When i start the script and it is checking steps that have been completed, under level 8 it notes i have completed getting the wand, then under Level 9 it says i don't have a wand, no zapping for me.

Last report for the day.

Found a loop. At Level 11, i'm in the HiTS farming damn lines. Finished combat with The Little Man in the Canoe, when i recieve pages of "ran out of adventures".

The current tavern function is not robust to restarting. The "lastTavernAscension" property is set while adventuring in the tavern, so if you quit and then restart, the current function will check it and think you're done. Also, it's checking the wrong quest page (3 instead of 2).

Here's my current working version: https://github.com/quisquous/bumche...d50eec295fa58eaab505/bumcheekascend.ash#L2813

When getting the digital key, it's possible that you don't have enough moxie to equip a yo-yo and don't have any other one-handed weapon.

I added this logic to ensure that you have a disco ball: https://github.com/quisquous/bumcheekcend/commit/a5f6f0d4d1c95ba4699d904599b9445225a9de30

I've run into similar issues. I've been using this change to adventure 1 turn at a time in the ballroom for a long time: https://github.com/quisquous/bumcheekcend/compare/original...a5f6f0d#diff-3

I thought the script when and bought a slingshot in that case, doesn't it?

Slingshots are two-handed. Maybe the "buy slingshot" line should be removed and replaced with disco ball acquisition?

 

[Winterbay]

Heh... I did not know that
Yes, since the entire point is to make sure you have a 1-handed ranged weapon that is perhaps a good idea.

 

[bumcheekcity]

I need a better way to keep track of these things. Has anyone had any luck with bugzilla? Id like somewhhere i can let guests post issues to keep it simple for people.

Was going to install it on my server and give it a bash.

 

[Winterbay]

Pastebin is a possibility I guess, but that is perhaps not the best way. Never tried bugzilla so can't say anything.

 

[Theraze]

Yes... slingshot is 2 handed, but yo-yo is 1 handed. Slingshot section should be replaced with either buy yo-yo, or the disco ball. Benefit of disco is that it's potentially better long-term in the sense of that every chewing gum items improves your chances of getting the one you want next time. Negative of disco is that you don't know how much it's going to cost to get it... less than 800, but you're not sure quite how much less.

The yo-yo is 600 meat and requires 25 moxie which you may not have at that point. I haven't done the math, but given that you've already gone fishing for clovers and RnR by that point, it seems likely that you might already have one or need very few chewing gums to get one.

I'll point out that most public source control repositories (e.g. github, Google Code, SourceForge) also have issue trackers built in.

 

[StDoodle]

Actually, since you start with 3 pieces from the gum group, it should cost a max of 650 meat unless you use / autosell one or more items before using gum. Which can happen, say, for the accordion, but isn't likely for much else that early. So even assuming accordion is used up and you were an AT, that's an extra 100 meat to get something will additional use. Seems a good deal.

Do any of them allow anonymous registering of bugs? I'd like to keep it so that people don't have to register with the website.

github requires a github account. Google Code requires a Google account (e.g. gmail). I'm nearly positive Sourceforge allows anonymous bug reports, but it was too flaky for me to verify, which may be a large enough strike against it.

 

[bumcheekcity]

Yeah, sourceforge does. I shall set that up tomorrow.

 

[Jar of Jam]

What is the scripts stance on in-the-box campground items ? My character just got out of Ronin and suddenly I'm hunting for beer lenses and stuff.

 

[slyz]

Silly Jar of Jam, you can't get out of Ronin in Hardcore!

Seriously though, it looks like the script will try making a chef/bartender only once the Bonerdagon is dead. If it can use a clover for brain/skull, and get a box, and if bcasc_bartender is set to true, it will adventure in the Barroom until you can make beer goggles.

It's pretty straightforward. The fact that it started doing this after breaking Ronin is just a coincidence.
