r447 stops it from doing that. Anything else that is stupid in AoSP as you've found?
just a few small things, mainly disabling certain quest steps that I saw unnecessary (Island Unlock, since I can skip all that with the bike; Knob Password, I believe this is just to have access to those buffs, and I see no need for them in this run; Trapper's Quest: I just wait for the other quests of that level to finish and manually acquire the outfit and beat the boss, since that is all there is to do with the proper bike upgrade; and finally Getting the Digital Key, I have that disabled so I can spend turns there whenever the script needs to start leveling me up, instead of wasting precious first day adventures in something that is not really important that early on)
I also do the same when unlocking the hidden temple, start doing those instead of leveling when the script tries to do so. It would be nice to be able to mark some steps like those as "optional" so that BCA only starts doing them when it doesn't have anything else to do (and would be leveling up to get to the next level)
BTW since the script was not updated the last times I went through the palindome, I had to manually get the disposable camera from the bedroom when the script started running that step, but for what I see you guys rolled out an update, does the script get the camera automatically now?
