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

[Theraze]

Not a problem. I actually took on the script because dj_d has mostly disappeared to us, and the general consensus was that the script was fairly indecipherable. I took a look and thought I could make sense and hopefully clear out some of the things that were bugging me, and at this point, the only remaining thing that sometimes bugs me is that when you're making milk of magnesium as a Sauceror, mafia will (maybe) sometimes decide to spend more to get 3 for cheaper than the price of one, failing to get anything because it's trying to get goat milk for more than the price of a milk of magnesium. I list this as a maybe, since nobody's complained much about it since it was noted back in post 1200. Could just be that the mall is hiding it again, but...

Anyways, if it doesn't work properly for you, let me know and we'll tweak it some more. If you still have chocolates to eat, rerunning the script should make them get consumed. If you're in the 2000+ meat per adventure range, and you're really doing that well, you probably want to turn eatdrink_stepMeat to -1, so it will use as much as it needs to, getting you as many adventures as it can. You really don't want it to stop and get garbage spleens if you're going to get awesome returns anyways...

 

[eegee]

Thanks for the update, the script finally eats chocolate. I had seen the error, but I hadn't posted about it

 

[fronobulax]

This being said, I need to look at chocolates, apparently. I don't think anyone has actually used them during the whole time I've been working on ED.

At some point Bale's code for chocolates was added and I end up having ED use them if I set VOA high enough. So they worked, at least the last time I had a high VOA.

 

[capitalgmoney]

I just tried to use it and got "zlib.ash could not be found (EatDrink.ash, line 12)"...What does this mean?

 

[Banana Lord]

Probably means you don't have zlib.ash installed.

EDIT: It's not entirely obvious from the first post to someone unfamiliar with ash scripts that they need to download zlib. Most other scripts have an explicit "download zlib" instruction in the first post. Maybe someone should add that?

 

[Theraze]

Well, I'm guessing that chocolates have been broken since September 16 when 3.1.5 went live. But that's a guess... I've only ever auto-simulated them. Well, recently. I did have that time when I bounced my VoA to 2.5k and many chocolates were consumed. Heh.

Edit: Huh.

Hi. Is there any way to ignore certain consumables, like drunki-bears?

 

[Winterbay]

Hi. Is there any way to ignore certain consumables, like drunki-bears?

Yes there is, but in the case of drunki-bears the best bet is to download the version in post 1319.

In more general terms opening up you vars_charactername.txt file in the /data directory in Notepad or a similar program and adding a line of the type:

eatdrink_avoid_name_of_thing_to_avoid false

converting all spaces to underscores and making sure you have a tab before the "false" will make eatdrink avoid that foodstuff/drink.

 

[Allucaneet]

Thanks, Winterbay.

 

[Winterbay]

@Theraze: I think there is either some error here or I've set it up oddly. I'm currently a level 11 Sauceror in hardcore and ran eatdrink from 1319 in simulation mode with the following call:

alias eatdrinks => ash import eatdrink.ash; int value = %%; eatdrink(fullness_limit()-1, inebriety_limit(), spleen_limit(),false,value,5,1,1000,true);

and set VoA to 1250.

I got the following output:

Keep telling me to do that until it gets done.

 

[fronobulax]

So the most recent version seems to have some problems with overdrinking. As you can see below, I was full and wanted to drink my nightcap. It made the nightcap but did not actually consume it. I wonder if something got queued and then never consumed because of chocolate checking?

In any event, when I re-ran it (again) failed to consume the sangria del diablo that had just been made. I drank it manually but I'm not sure this version is ready for release.

Heh... what killed it actually was the spleen filtering fix. The spleen fix made it not continue (or start) consuming if repeatingstep is set, which it will be as soon as a TPS drink is queued. So... spleen reset consideration time. I'll attach updated post here if there's no further comments, or make a new post once I've puzzled out a good way to do it without too much more script bloat.

Changelog:
Implemented:
1069: Coinmaster (besides hermit) handling - Using lowest of the two prices, with a custom override for the hermit to set the value of his items at the price of a permit (if needed) and the cost of acquiring a worthless item - using retrieve_item on tokens, so it should decide if it's cheaper for buying directly from the mall or using the coinmaster.
1205: Fixed mojo filter infinite loop.
1226: Removed the verbose and verbose2 functions, replacing them with a vprint3 and vprint9. Items that were always printing before are still using logprint, print, or print_html as appropriate.
1259: Finally implemented the GET_BARTENDER and GET_CHEF bits. These have (of longstanding) been set by EatDrink to default to false, but never (that I could find) did anything. Now they will get you a bartender or chef and install them if have_bartender/chef returns false and you have them set to true, while the item retrieval happens.
1260: Fixed another mojo filter loop.
1281: Better torso awaregness. Explicitly check for the skill, since mafia doesn't (as of 10216). Note that mafia does check as of 10220, but the explicit check won't hurt and helps keep people using out of date mafia for some reason running properly.
1298: Skip items which fill multiple organs - while it may be optimal on one, it's unlikely to be optimal to both.
1303: Removed legacy hermit code, since the new coinmaster code properly purchases from him as well as potentially from other coinmasters.
1310: Implemented initial daily special code. Uses working special code now... should be fully working, but need someone to have this trigger again.
1314: Made "the mall" display the same whether simulating or actually consuming. This might speed up simulating executions for some people.
1316: Added the acquisition of chocolates to the chocolate consumption code, so it should properly use them if you're actually in that budget range.
1316: Made the script recalculate what to consume if either a consumption fails or mojo filters are used, since either is likely to affect how much room is left to fill.
1332: Changed which flag gets set when mojo filters are used, so that it will actually consume TPS drinks and KLP food.

full on food 15/19 drunk.

Have you tried EatDrink.ash in the post just above yours?

 

[Theraze]

Yeah... on any version attached to a post newer than 1298, the drunki-bears are skipped. As it says in the changelog just above your post:

1298: Skip items which fill multiple organs - while it may be optimal on one, it's unlikely to be optimal to both.

 

[fronobulax]

I really do intend to make an official release of the latest version. The version I ran today did not overdrink and to my chagrin I realized I was not running the latest. Tomorrow.

 

[Theraze]

Not a problem. At least once there's a new main release, we should stop getting the drunki-bear questions and some of those other ones. There's enough progress that it's difficult finding the answer, even if it's been mentioned repeatedly. Which is partially why I default to 40 posts per page.

 

[fronobulax]

Still had failure to overdrink. This time it was a character in HC and ED just gave up when it could not buy what it thought it needed to make something. Hopefully I'll have a chance to investigate more or at least post a log snippet.

 

[Theraze]

Yeah... let me know what it thought it could make and failed on. If we can hunt down why it has an incorrect belief, that will help.
