hey guys. so i am using ascend.ash and this script gets called within it. However, I am having a rather large problem, I am out of meat and this script doesn't realize that I am and essentially it gets caught in an infinite loop. Is there any way I can fix this?
Cheers

I got this today:
It seems that it continue tries to purchase melted Jell-o shot. It keeps trying until:
I don't know what's wrong about it. The lowest price of melted jell-o shot in mall is 220.

and then I stopped it manually.

This can happen for example when the lowest price in the mall is a limited one (i.e. you can only buy 1 or 2 at that price). The first one you try to buy above that limit will give you a pricing error. Restarting the script usually helps, sometimes you need to actually buy the offending food/drink yourself first.

It wasn't a limited one.
However, restarting the script did the job. Thanks.

Even when they are in your inventory, they aren't 'free', because you are consuming something that was worth the meat you would have gotten by selling them.
EatDrink.ash spend a lot of meat to generate advs, but were those advs used to generate a lot of meat?
I found out a bug of sorts, I kept getting the following error:
Map modified within foreach (EatDrink.ash, line 924)
I had 8412 running and got it, then I tried 8419 and also got the error.
However, when I switched to 8410 it magically disappeared, so I guess it started occuring again after 8411 or 8412 or something.
I have no idea how to fix stuff like this, but all this unstable release scripting bugs the hell out of me. It would bug me a lot less if not having the 100% up-to-date script wouldn't cause 3 seconds of delays for every support script per adventure, adding up to like 10 seconds of delays per adventure.

I'm not trying to sound snarky but a little bit of search/research would have turned up enough information that you might have understood the problem and the solution. "unstable release scripting bugs" seems to be pretty strong language for a problem that was identified and fixed in mafia within 24 hours. All scripts here are posted "as is, use at your own risk" and what I perceive as the tone of your post seems unlikely to encourage a script writer to continue to support their scripts.
That said, I will note the issues were addressed around r8386 so you report does suggest something new might be going on. However, the advice is to update everything before you report the error so you should consider doing that, posting a report and then be patient.
I'm sorry I sounded snappy at the scripters, because I do appreciate their work. With the current version control system it just takes a lot of time updating all the scripts and dealing with flaws which are pretty hard to solve if you don't know the complicated scripts.
I can look at it again, but I'm pretty sure I was working out of 8419, with all my scripts freshly updated, using the altered eatdrink 2 pages back.(which was said to solve the problem after 8386)
Not altering the scripts further but simply changing to 8410 stopped the problem.
Anyway, this is something a bit too complicated for me to solve.
Am using EatDrink via Ascend with a brand new character. Am using EatDrink_modified as listed in the first post instead of the version that shipped with Ascend. EatDrink computes the desired item and then appears to go into an infinite (well, I stopped if after five minutes) loop trying to acquire and consume. I suspect one or more of the following conditions is not being properly considered.
I am level 3 and so do not have Mall access.
I have preferences checked so that mafia does not buy from the mall.
My meat on hand is barely sufficient to purchase one of the items.
In the context of Ascend, EatDrink is actually trying to execute the plan, rather than simulate it. The obsession with Mall items seems to persist even if I just simulate.
