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

Help

I just downloaded this today and I'm trying to use it on one of my SC players Stormfire. I keep getting an error about changing the relay settings. But I can't find the instructions on where it is sending me.

You'll need to download "relay_bumcheekascendv0.1.ash" and save it in the "relay" folder of KoLmafia (not the "scripts" folder).

Once you've done that, run KoLmafia and click the "Load in Web Browser" button (icon of a map). You should be able to run the relay script by selecting it from the drop down menu in the top frame of your browser window.

The setting in question that you should look for is "bcasc_doNotRemindAboutSoftcore", set it to true.
 
I realized the script was changing my familiar data files by itself.
Code: 
 BCC: Starting SideQuest 'nuns'
BCC:     doSideQuest(Nuns)
Updating bcs_fam_meat.txt from '' to     '2010-10-31 08:04:17'...
bcs_fam_meat.txt => 2010-10-31 08:04:17
...bcs_fam_meat.txt     updated.
Checking for familiar 'Hobo Monkey' where     x=1

I found some lines in prefs with old dates, so manually changed them to the latest edit dates of my data files. Is this a bug? Did I do the right thing?

Edit: It didn't work.

The script automatically downloads the newest versions from BCCs server so that is a feature not a bug. What are you trying to change?
 
Hey, so about a week ago, I started a 100% badmoon black cat run using your script, I've been using it for quite some time now, but I was curious as to if there were any quick fixes to make it more bad moon friendly in the future, particularly for non blackcat runs, probably most importantly by using familiars or gathering them to use such as the volley ball. Or adventuring in barrel when you're beaten up, I'm running as AT right now, and the only way to HP Restore is campground of the scarce items I fine around the kingdom, so I kinda have to rely upon barrel and temple to fill my beaten up status.
 
In short: not really, though I'll integrate fixes if someone write a nice function to get familiars in bad moon or something. Because it's only ever going to do moxie bad moon anyway, I didn't see the point to save two runs, where it'll probably do fairly well once you've played two or three days.
 
Any chance on having a relay option to set number of pirate insults to search for?

I had always thought/heard that getting 6 was better then getting 7, because at that point the chance of getting one of the two insults out of 8 you haven't heard yet, was smaller then the chance of winning the insult contest with 6 insults. (25% chance to get a 7th insult from pirates, 33% chance to win insult contest with 6 insults).
 
25% chance of a 7th insult? Is there spading on that?

Idea gets a solid "possibly". If you add it to the sourceforge, I'll get round to it.
 
I figure that going for the 7th insult as a moxie class running -combat is worth it because the stat noncombat tips the balance between turns spend looking for the insult and statless turns failing the pong game.
 
There's a 25% chance of not getting an insult at all and a 50% rejection for ones you already have, which means a 30% chance of getting the 7th insult when you use the insult book, further modified by combat rate (plus noncombats that can become combats; don't forget the one for myst that only happens at 0 drunk). I always go 7 insults as drinking moxie and 6 otherwise, but really it depends on factors such as how useful the stats are (as moxie, in case you're overleveled), how useful the base booze is (as muscle), and probably other things I can't think of right now.

The difference is maybe 3 turns at most (probably less), so I doubt making it configurable is worth the trouble. I haven't ever used the script, so my opinion doesn't really matter much.
 
Yeah i had just heard it before, and just assumed there being what, 8 insults, that your chance to get one that isn't one of the 6 you already had was 2/8. I forgot about the pirates failed insult attempts, and any weighted factor there may be, and moxie non-combat stats...

Never mind then, its less then the 10 turn rule.
 
Maybe worth mentioning that this is Fistcore, and I know that you have said that it is not supported, but mentioning this anyway in case it is also affecting the regular runs.

Just started level 12 and the script spent 50 turns in the Frat house, getting non-combats because the scipt had put on the hippy outfit for me, but then right after done "2 beeosity, +shield" as a maximizer command. This have happened a lot and I think it happened with the pirate zone too where the swashbuckling outfit is needed.

Code:

Re-running the script it do the same thing.

Just before this, during the Pyramid, it keptdoing a lot of maximizer commands after each turn of the wheel and equipping things back and forth.

Also, version 0.33 released.
Click to expand...
Ran into an issue with 0.33. The script did not get the new Dispensary password after getting the KGE outfit. The script was then stuck in an infinite loop. It kept resetting moods, then attempt to buy selzter, fail, back to moods, etc.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it's the ascend script or Ultimate Recovery gumming up the works.
 
Minor bug, apologies if this was in my original recommendation for mining in WotSF.

PHP: 
if (have_skill($skill[Worldpunch])) abort("You need the skill Worldpunch, grasshopper.");

Should be:

PHP: 
if (!have_skill($skill[Worldpunch])) abort("You need the skill Worldpunch, grasshopper.");

I've also written a little snippet which only really applies to people using this for SC runs. Greatest American Pants support for the trapper quest.

PHP: 
	if (index_of(visit_url("trapper.php"), "you'll need some kind of protection from the cold") > 0) {
		if (have_skill($skill[Northern Exposure])) {
			print("BCC: Visiting the trapper with your passive skill Northern Exposure to get the quest done.", "purple");
			visit_url("trapper.php");
		} else if (have_familiar($familiar[Exotic Parrot]) && have_skill($skill[Amphibian Sympathy])) {
			print("BCC: Visiting the trapper with a parrot to get the quest done.", "purple");
			cli_execute("familiar parrot");
			visit_url("trapper.php");
			//We do this just in case there's a 100% familiar here, so we set it back immediately. 
			setFamiliar("items");
		} else if ((item_amount($item[Greatest American Pants]) + equipped_amount($item[Greatest American Pants]) > 0) && (get_property("_gapBuffs") < 5)) {
			print("BCC: Attempting to use Greatest American Pants to get the quest done.", "purple");
			cli_execute("equip greatampant; gap structure");
			//KoLmafia doesn't currently track _gapBuffs acquired through the relay browser, so this could still fail.
			visit_url("trapper.php");
		} else {
			//Try to use the maximizer on this. Don't care about bees here because we won't adventure. 
			cli_execute("maximize cold res -tie");
			if (contains_text(visit_url("trapper.php"), "you'll need some kind of protection from the cold")) {
				print("BCC: You need some cold resistance for the trapper but you don't have it yet.", "purple");
			}
		}
	}

Not sure if you feel like adding this to the official script, it's probably a very niche case, especially for softcore players. It happens to come in handy for me, so I just thought I would share it.

I also found a slight hitch with SetMCD() when you're adventuring in a place that's unsafe, that would be trying to set the MCD to a negative value. Probably the underlying issue here is not having a safe amount of moxie, but here's the fix anyway:

PHP: 
boolean setMCD(int moxie, int sMox) {
	//Can't be bothered to deal with this for other classes. 
	//if (!(my_primestat() == $stat[Moxie])) return false;
	if (get_property("bcasc_disableMCD") == "true") return false;
	
	if (canMCD()) {
		print("BCC: We CAN set the MCD.", "purple");
		//We do. Check maxMCD value
		int maxmcd = 10;
		int mcdval = my_buffedstat(my_primestat()) - sMox;
		
		if (mcdval > maxmcd) {
			mcdval = maxmcd;
		}
		if (mcdval < 0) mcdval = 0;
		cli_execute("mcd "+mcdval);
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}

I'm not going to post the fix because it's literally one line, but buMax(); should be called before using the map and fighting the booty crab in the cap'm caronch quest, just to make the fight slightly easier.

Does anyone know how I can add using the stone spheres to a CCS so that the script doesn't keep stopping and telling me to identify them manually? Thanks.
 
Add this line to your CCS:
Code: 
special action
and tell Mafia to automatically ID the spheres, either in the right-click menu of the "Special:" section (adventure tab), or by typing "set autoSphereID = true" in the gCLI.
 
Last 2 ascensions the script has curiously failed to do the nuns quest, it's been only spending 1 turn there then moving on to the battlefield to clear out frat boys. Log below:
