CounterChecker: Wormwood, Semi-rares, Dance Cards and more

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound impatient or at all critical of Mafia's progress on the new quest. What I meant was that I was assuming that everything was proceeding properly there, so I instead wanted to call attention to this script, which would also need updating. My information on semi-rares comes from the wiki:
A-Boo Peak has a non-combat semi-rare adventure named Oh, There Have it Gone that gives the item death blossom (item number 5346).
Twin Peak has a non-combat semi-rare adventure named Synecdoche, Twin Peak that gives the item miniature boiler (item number 5370).
Oil Peak has a non-combat semi-rare adventure named It's a Gas Gas Gas that gives the item unnatural gas (item number 2440).
The three items are undiscardable combat items.

Interesting. I actually got that one. Considering that I was in Zombiecore and was not eating fortune cookies, I had no idea it was a semi-rare.
FWIW, I no longer look at the Wiki to see how things work. I either sift through pages of garbage in G-D, or I figure it out on my own.

For the most part, you just add in
to your CounterChecker... I'd suggest below Chapel, because that's the bottom of the single-dropping items. The main long-term issue is that it also has to be added to the canadv function. And I don't think people have shared the information on the various stages of the new Level 9 quest so zone unlock can be properly tracked yet. Once that's happened... official CC support will probably follow shortly.
But first, people have to actually let the devs know the HTML code for each individual step of the quest, including both the page-text and quest log.
Code:
semi_rare[$location[A-Boo Peak]] = $item[death blossom];
semi_rare[$location[Twin Peak]] = $item[miniature boiler];
semi_rare[$location[Oil Peak]] = $item[unnatural gas];But first, people have to actually let the devs know the HTML code for each individual step of the quest, including both the page-text and quest log.

Two things. One, first post (which means the auto-checker) still on 1.49996, but that might be fixed by the time anyone notices this post. Second, personally I like to put in:
just before the
because if I have more than 3 counters, it means that I'm on the SR adventure and no matter how many cookies I eat, I'm never going to get the right count. So don't eat 15 cookies and burn away all my fullness, because that would be stupid. But it's happened multiple times, hence my personal-copy change...
Code:
if(count_counters() > 3) return false;
Code:
if(count_counters() < 1) return true;

Yes, but the bug I was trying to report was that the change made between 1.49997 and 1.49998 to abort eating more cookies if you already have 4 or more counters, which I did, wasn't working. I understand why the adventure was overwritten. I understand why CC ate 2 cookies. I don't understand why it kept eating more after that.

On a more general, counter-script, note: Is there any way, from within a script, to call a counterscript with the correct parameters?
I'm thinking that since adventuring via visit_url doesn't trigger the counter script even though the counters get updated it'd be nice of script that uses visit_url to adventure to check for relevant counters and invoke the counterscript as necessary.

I know this is probably an obvious question, but I haven't been able to find how to use ash to check on semi rares within my daily adventuring script. I'm looking for something like this:
Code:
if ( SR window is active && last SR was itemA )
{
stuff
}
if ( SR window is active && last SR was itemB )
{
stuff
}Bale

It's not an obvious question, but it isn't simple and it isn't really related to this thread. Use the get_counters() command. Here's a thread where someone asks a similar question and here's another thread where he asks again a year later. Please continue the discussion there or make your own thread.

The current check for war started is apparently off... maybe it should check for Level 12 and war not completed and just consider that as verboten?
Since mafia doesn't even track me as having hit up the council yet...
The other issue displayed here is that the counter checker is not properly aborting when there's 3+ counters, since I now have:
quite a few. Not sure why count_counters() is failing to work, but... moved it down to the while check and that appeared to work better.
Code:
else while(toEat() && count_counters() < 4) // Too many means there's a problem. Don't burn off fullnessTheraze

Bah, that didn't fix it. But apparently the issue is count_counters failing miserably.
Edit: Okay... not sure why mafia can't count tabs anymore, but this:
works as a replacement line in count_counters, as per the following:
I did move count_counters and toEat out of the eat_cookie function so I could actually check them outside.
Edit: Okay... not sure why mafia can't count tabs anymore, but this:
Code:
return count(split_string(url_encode(counters), "%09"));Possibly an underlying bug in mafia, but I don't know for sure. That does make it clear though that it IS showing as a tab, and that /t doesn't split it properly.

Cannot confirm. I make this little program:
When I run it I get this output:
PHP:
void main() {
foreach i,s in split_string(get_counters("Semirare window", 0, 200), "\t")
print(i + ": "+ s);
print("Total = "+count(split_string(get_counters("Semirare window", 0, 200), "\t")));
}When I run it I get this output:
Code:
> call testing.ash
0: Semirare window begin
1: Semirare window end
Total = 2
