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

Did someone add it to the sourceforge page?

I did :o
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3410997&group_id=503565&atid=2048077
Back in 17/9.
And I think I mentioned it on this thread but might have dreamt that one =S

A bit fuzzy on the description maybe.. Anyway, what happen is that the script first maximize with the real command, with +exp and +ouitfit and all that stuff. After that it do mood and familiar changing, just to end up with another maximizer command which is just "2 beeosity, +shield". Been a difference of up to 25 mainstat from the real maximizer, which contain +mainstat, and the one after which don't.

Apart from all the good stuff that the script do by changing the gear around a bit, it kinda sucks for anything that require an outfit as it will first equip it and then change it again. SPent 50 turns in the Frat house when the script was going for the Frat warrior outfit, but because it changed away the hippy outfit I only get non-combats with stats.

I'm having maximizer +outfit troubles starting the Nuns quest with both .33 and .34 (and not in fistcore, and yes I added it to sourceforge).
 
The following request is completely selfish: Is there anyway we could maybe, someday, get an option to get bounty every day, or every other day? That would be great!
 
bounty won't be added for the above reason. the outfit fistcore thing wasnt fixed, because I hadn't encountered it. I would mark it as cleared on the sourceforge page once done.
 
If you find the fitscore outfit bug, and it is relatively easy to fix, mind letting us know how to do it on our own copies if it will take a while until next update? :D
 
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.

I think the cause of this would be the "anHero" function. It runs a "maximize beeosity +shield" without regard for current maximizations. I believe this makes it do a full 'tie' maximization to your shield without any regard for what you actually need...

Definitely needed in "anHero":
PHP:
	if (my_path() == "Way of the Surprising Fist") return false;

Maybe needed:
Either some sort of passing along the current maximization string, so it can maximize based on that, or just turning it into a check if shielding is possible/desirable and then using that in the actual maximization strings later, which means we'd only need a single maximize execution instead of two.
 
Ran in to this still...I mentioned it back with 0.31 (bug ID 3394818). I'm not familiar with mafia scripting, but maybe someone can figure out what to change to make it work?

It's just an annoyance, since if you restart the script it will either stop again after 5 adventures or it'll get the key.

Conditions     not satisfied after 5 adventures.
BCC: You     aborted, so so am I. This abort may have been caused by a rogue condition     not being met. If this is unexpected, please paste the CLI output, as well     as the results of typing 'condition check' without the quotes, into the     mafia CLI window now.
 
Not a bug, bug, just an RNG thing. Instead of telling it to go until the next choiceadv, however many adventures that takes, it's been told to go 5 adventures and stop. Makes sense, since chalky hand wears off after 5 adventures, as it says on your 10th line or so. Anyways, better would probably be capturing the adventure result and keeping it in a while loop as long as adventures permit and the player hasn't gotten the library key yet.
 
is there any way to get the script not to use some familiars? it seems to really like boots and bander, where hound dog or dandy lion and sandworm/pressie/xeno would be much better.

edit: not looking for bumcheekcity to mod the script for better familiar usage, just asking if there's any option i'm unaware of.

<3 you =D
I put that line into anHero in v0.34 and ended up with this, which so far seem to be working fine (knock on wood!)

PHP:
//Returns true if we have a shield and Hero of the Halfshell.
boolean anHero() {
	if (!have_skill($skill[Hero of the Half-Shell])) return false;
	if (!(my_primestat() == $stat[Muscle])) return false;
	if (get_property("bcasc_lastShieldCheck") == today_to_string()) return true;
	if (my_path() == "Way of the Surprising Fist") return false;  
	
	cli_execute("maximize "+max_bees+" beeosity, +shield"); 
	if (item_type(equipped_item($slot[off-hand])) == "shield") {
		cli_execute("set bcasc_lastShieldCheck = "+today_to_string());
		print("BCC: You appear to have a shield. If you autosell your last shield, this script is going to behave 

very strangely and you're an idiot.", "purple");
		return true;
	}
	
	print("BCC: You don't have a shield. It might be better to get one. ", "purple");
	return false;
}

One problem though, the script have started the lvl10 quest and so far, it have cleared my Bumcheekascend mood list completly (ususally it have 2-3 buffs in there) and it do not seem to want to change familiar either. Going to change things around a bit and see what it do, if it turn back to the setup it ran with just now.

EDIT: Ahhh, yeh i changed familiar and it changed back. Guess I was just confused why it would use AD-Demon in the castle but +meat is always welcome in fistcore!
The Mood is still completly empty tho..

Ehhm there is a file in the /data folder I think, that you can mod to make the script go with whatever you want. Just remmeber that Hounddog might have better +item but it also have +combat, which might not always be good, and leveling one familiar up with every +item situation might end up being better than getting many familiars up just a little bit.

Maybe wait for someone who is better at this script and at coding than me to give you a real answer before modding too much :P
 
I auto abort on various conditions (like maxed out MP) due to betweenBattleScripts. When I restart the script, it will try to get a new fax even though I've already used my fax for the day (outside of the script). _photocopyUsed is the preference it should key off of so it knows when it makes sense to request a fax, before checking what it is, even though the information _should_ be available in the preference photocopyMonster.

Love the script!
 
A little thought I'm adding to the Sourceforge page: When first starting the script as freshly ascended, get the quest from the Pretentious Artist, since the script will spend turns in the 3 zones anyway (maybe not the Sleazy back alley, even though I think it do) and being able to sell the rat whiskers is a way to get meat, especially in fistcore.

Also to get the quest to open the guild as early as possible, pref before even starting lvl1, to avoid accidental backfarming.

I've been doing fistcore as Muscle a while now and the Outskirts of the Knobbs have a lot of stuff. The part for the artist, the encryption key, the guild quest item, etc. Not to mention, it is the first place someone go to level up (I tend to fax in a 1000ML butt and Pumpkin bomb it, so I dont need any leveling.. But still.)
