EatDrink.ash: Optimize your daily diet (and see how your old diet stacks up).

Is this a problem with eatdrink or zlib?

Code: 
> call scripts\EatDrink.ash

Checking for updates (running ZLib rev. 30)...
Validating repo...
svn: E175002: connection refused by the server
Something went wrong while fetching svn directory info
Done.
 
No.

Well, some would consider zlib's insistence on updating itself every time it runs to be a bug, but the failure is not due to buggy code in either EatDrink or zlib.
 
The problem is with SourceForge (where most of the scripts are hosted). We assume it's temporary. You can work around it by commenting out the line in zlib that calls 'svn update'.

As Veracity alludes to, some might argue that that change is for the better even in the absence of this issue ;)
 
Strange; seems Mafia doesn't want to accept that i'm installing EatDrink. Whenever I try to install it with the SVN link, it always says:
Starting Checkout...
Validating repo...
Repo validated.
C:\Users\User\Desktop\Folder\KolMafia\svn\therazekolmafia-eatdrink
At revision 54
but always says "Unable to invoke EatDrink.ash" when I try to use it.
 
That looks like it's already "installed", but missing from live script folder. Mafia sees that there are no changes coming from SVN server, so does not push any changed files (from svn/ folder to scripts/ folder).

I am not sure what the correct way to resolve this is.

Maybe svn sync?
Or delete the script and install it again?
 
Currently I'm in aftercore, and it's my first time using this EatDrink.ash script.

Comparing this with the Houeland's optimal diet list, that gave me 277 adventures, this script only returned 216 adv. Thus, I'm wondering why is there such a large difference?

I ensured that both of them I set the adv value as 3,500.

I also noticed that all of the items EatDrink suggests comes from my own inventory rather than the mall. Is this normal? I assumed that its supposed to have checked the prices in the mall too according to the script's description on the first page.

In addition, comparing the overall profit of both diets,
houeland optimal diet (after taking into account the cost of mall buying): ~889.6k Meat
EatDrink.ash: ~756k Meat

Does this mean I should continue using houeland's optimal diet?

My first pass with ED tried to consume deluxe layer cake with mayozapine, which pointed to weighting stats too heavily. My next pass pointed out that I hadn't set my valueOfAdventure appropriately, so I did so.

With those two tweaks, food + booze were identical to Eleron's diet calculator (lasagna, perfect booze with peppermint booze filler). Spleen insisted on using all transdermal smoke patches, but that's likely because Eleron's diet calculator relied on an outdated price of coffee pixie sticks.

Thanks for the insight! :) You're right about the coffee pixie sticks, I usually just press exclude and see what else I get.

Any recommendations as to what I should change the "eatdrink_valueOfNonPrimeStat" and "eatdrink_valueOfPrimeStat" to get similar results as Eleron's diet calculator?

I tried amending valueOfNonPrimeStat and valueOfPrimeStat, even setting both to 0, but I still get the same result as before, where the no. of adv generated is inferior to that of Eleron's.

Thank you!

As far as I can tell, eleron's datafile will soon be an entire year out of date, and some of the prices in the diet it suggested for me were an entire 100% off.

Are you modifying the value in data/vars_<charname>.txt, or attempting to set Mafia settings (via CLI's `set valueOfNonPrimeStats = 0` etc)? The latter won't work.
 
Odd. You did set valueOfAdventure as a mafia setting? You're being consistent with, say, not overdrinking in either simulation? And you're setting custom organ sizes to fit your in-game situation? Is Eleron's diet calc suggesting forks / mugs? ED doesn't support those.

I do remember arguing in the past re: ED's suboptimality due to its greedy approach, but in my experience it hasn't been that bad, outside of the cases it simply doesn't support.
 
EDIT: I figured out what was wrong, I didn't enable "buying items from Mall if required" in the Kolmafia settings.
Thanks heeheehee for running through all the checks with me :)

Nonetheless, I'm still curious regarding this: What is the difference between "spent X meat" and "additional expenditures of X meat"?

Yes, I'm quite sure I set the valueofadventure correctly, as the start of the script shows the correct valueofadventure that I had set. And yes, I was being consistent in setting no overdrinking for both simulations. Same for organ size.

Eleron's diet calculator did not suggest forks/mugs. I do acknowledge that the prices on Eleron's calculator is a bit off especially for spleen items. But nonetheless, I don't think that could still explain the ~58 adventures difference between both calciulators.

For reference, Eleron's diet calculation here:

Here's is EatDrink's calculation:

On this topic, could I also ask what is the difference between "spent X meat" and "additional expenditures of X meat"?

Looks like "spent X meat" is the price of food / booze / etc, while "additional expenditures" is for helpers like Milk of magnesium.
 
Sorry, I've been in the process of moving across the state. You finally posted why it's skipping the mall though, so I can answer that for ya.

You've only told mafia that it's allowed to go from storage and NPCs. You need to tell mafia that the mall (and maybe coinmasters) are okay if you want ED to consider them. :)
