Bug - Not A Bug Items with numbers in their names break the maximizer

[Shiverwarp]

For example, if we use KoL Con 13 Snowglobe, it will see the 13 and think we are starting a new bonus or modifier, rather than it being part of the name, and will thus match to `kol con` and break the rest of the maximizer string

Cross-post from https://kolmafia.us/threads/semi-colons-in-maximizer-strings.28896/#post-172144 to let you know you can use the pilcrow to specify an item by ID. You do sacrifice readability there, and you have to know the item ID before using it, so it's not the desired long-term state.

A better approach is to quote the "keyword", e.g.

2 meat, +"equip kol con 13 snowglobe", item

This was added back in r10531.

I can't quite seem to make that work with the bonus keyword: both "69 bonus pantogram pants" and 69 "bonus pantogram pants" seemed to fail.

It'll also run into trouble with items that have quotes in the name, but that's a small enough set that I think using the pilcrow system is fine.

Either way, this is super helpful--thanks!

Yeah, appears to not work with assigning bonuses

Maximizer: meat, 130 bonus "Kol Con 13 Snowglobe"
["kol    con] cannot be equipped.
Maximizer: meat, +"130 bonus Kol Con 13    Snowglobe"
Unrecognized keyword: 130 bonus kol    con 13 snowglobe

Hm. It should be 69 "bonus pantogram pants" but you say that didn't work for you. I can't reproduce on my end, though, as that works for me with or without the quotes.

Similarly, it should be +130 "bonus kol con 13 snowglobe"-- note that you should only quote the keyword, not the weight.

You know what, it's because I don't have my pantogram pants with me, it looked like it was silently failing. You're absolutely right!
