Destroy All Monsters

You're welcome. I'm glad that people find it useful since I know it is absolutely full of flaws.
 
In case you're interested I've set up this little snippet to automatically use "Release the boots" if it's available and the monster I'm facing doesn't have the goal I'm currently after. It seems to be working fine (it even fired after I got the last goal item in a pickpocket attempt which was nice).

Code: 
string special_action()
{
	if(my_familiar() == $familiar[Stomping Boots] && get_property("bootsCharged") == "true" && m.phylum != $phylum[none] && has_goal(m) == 0) {
		enqueue(get_action($skill[release the boots]));
		return macro();
	}
}

I know I have a bad singing voice, but today DAM thinks that I can sing the monsters in the castle to death:

PHP: 
Run SmartStasis! (0 profit to stasis with Sing -- low)
DestroyAllMonsters starts now! (0mp option Sing -- killrounds: 66, dierounds: 1300)
Round 2: Pawn69 executes a macro!
Round 2: Pawn69 casts SING!

this goes on for my 30 rounds, and then I have to manually kill the monster...

It seems to have started doing this with the new BatBrain update.

This character is a lvl 33 AT with no combat spell skills
 
Ok, after a few more times of this occurring with the procrastination giant, I finally went into the code for and simply 'removed' the check for the Procrastination Giant

PHP: 
boolean no_cunctatitis() {
	return TRUE;
        //m != $monster[Procrastination Giant] || weapon_type(equipped_item($slot[weapon])) == $stat[Moxie];
}

I have power nap, and would rather get the cunctatitis and remove it than not be able to complete the fight. I'm not sure if there is a good way to combat this problem. But clearly, picking a skill that calculates to 60 rounds to kill isn't a good skill...
 
Sigh.

No. No it isn't a good way to do that... Perhaps if the player has power nap and no good way to kill a procrastination giant then it should take the chance... sigh... I'd have to refactor a bit to even make that work sanely.
 
Is there a limit of one use per skill per fight? DAM only fires off a couple of pasta spells before switching to a failing attack strategy while I still have 200+MP (which is over 60%) left for spell usage. I even have the Feed skill which means most spells hardly cost me any MP after combat. Any thoughts?

Also, I noticed DAM mentions it starts twice during the same combat? Is that normal?

You've had the crap beaten out of you... attempting to find some more crap.
 
It is normal such that the first Macro ran out and thus a second round needed to be performed so it restarted. What is a bit odd is that it clearly states that stasising with the scepter is low on profit but it still does it for whatever reason.
Also, it decides to use "attack" even though you clearly can't hit the monster which is a bit odd isn't it?
 
Wait. I just noticed my CCS had an "attack with weapon" statement after the DAM consult. Could it be that DAM somehow ended (without notification) and the attack statement handled the fight from round 6 onward? Though if that is the case, it's still strange that DAM silently failed, right?
 
Not so much... when it would have aborted with a message telling you that it couldn't figure out a good way to guarantee success and that you should be careful, it instead went to the guaranteed failure of attack with weapon. That's a you thing, not a DAM thing. :)
 
Thing is, I've seen that message many times over the last couple of weeks (since i started using DAM), with the same CCS, and it always aborted properly without switching to the weapon attack. Also, I don't see an actual abort message being printed in the combat log.
 
BB-based scripts (should) use exclusively macros. Since all those attacks were not macro'd, and they also lack any other non-mafia print statements, it's safe to say that DAM was somehow done and mafia proceeded with your CCS from the then-current round number, which you had specified as "attack".
 
Would it make sense for DAM to automatically recalculate stasis values after round 10 (or so) if using a meat-dropping familiar like the Cocoabo, Mimic, Fuzzy Dice, Hipster, or NZPR? Since their meat stasis value goes to 0 there, there's no sense in hoping to get more meat for 15 more rounds... HP/MP is still valid, but...
 
BB already caps familiar meat profit on the high end at 0 after round 10.

Also Bale, if perchance you take in the new Sherlock Holmes movie, stay for the closing credits, then pay close attention towards the end, just before they show all the song copyrights.

I was thinking about seeing it. Right before the song copyrights? Sure... Is this going to go by quickly or is it obvious?

I've never understood people that doesn't do that. I quite like looking at the closing credits especially to get to the song thingies since I often will wonder what one of them were.
 
Thanks for telling me to pay attention to the credits there. I was wondering if I'd spot this strange thing you were referring to. No worries though, there's no way I could miss that! I laughed from the amusing surprise.
