New Content - Implemented September 2018 IotM - The Neverending Party

Right. Unsure if they reset on ascension, I thought I saw somewhere that they did not. Which would make for some really ridiculous initiative.
 
r18973. Just ran breakfast without viewing the pump-up high-tops first, and no pumps occurred. _highTopPumps and highTopPumped started at 0. highTopPumps was still 3. I pumped them three times in the relay browser, viewing the item description in between each pump, and all of those preferences are now 3.

Is highTopPumps (no leading underscore) no longer used?
 
r18974 fixes recognising current number of pumps when viewing item description.

No, there is no need for a how many pumped today count that doesn't reset overnight. We needed two counters as we have a daily limit and a current that doesn't have a daily limit.
 
Would it be possible to track what once-per-day quest-expediting choice adventures have already been used? I'm trying to script the quest and it would be convenient - currently you can only find out if the option is available after unrevokably deciding on the first part of the choice (i.e. going upstairs, basement).
 
@gausie: Mercenary Mood does it like so:

PHP: 
      case $location[The Neverending Party]: if (qprop("_questPartyFair < started") || qprop("_questPartyFair")) return;  // don't do anything if the quest isn't started OR is finished
         switch (get_property("_questPartyFairQuest")) {
            case "food": friendlyset(1324,"2","Go to the kitchen for food stuff.");
               if (get_property("_questPartyFairProgress") == "") friendlyset(1326,"3","Ask the kitchen lady which food to collect.");
                else if (item_amount(to_item(to_int(excise(get_property("_questPartyFairProgress")," ","")))) >= to_int(excise(get_property("_questPartyFairProgress"),""," ")))
                   friendlyset(1326,"4","Turn in your snacks to the kitchen lady.");
               return;
            case "booze": friendlyset(1324,"3","Go to the backyard for booze stuff.");
               if (get_property("_questPartyFairProgress") == "") friendlyset(1327,"3","Find Gerald.");
                else if (item_amount(to_item(to_int(excise(get_property("_questPartyFairProgress")," ","")))) >= to_int(excise(get_property("_questPartyFairProgress"),""," ")))

               friendlyset(1325,"4","Crack the safe!");
               return;

               friendlyset(1326,"5","Burn some trash! (25% progress)");

This has worked well enough for me so far (three characters, one finished and two almost done with HARD MODE). If you're using MM and BBB all you need to script is starting the quest -- then you can simply adventure there until you're done. BBB will equip items you need and MM will set the choices for you.

Well I do use both of your scripts anyway and didn't realise I didn't need to write my own :) I guess searching the session logs is a good enough solution though yes.
 
My free fight script logs the encounters when they happened.

Code: 
boolean StockPartyConsumables() {
	string [int] PartyFairConsumableStrings;
	item PartyFairConsumable,PartyFairConsumableCreator;
	int PartyFairConsumableAmount, dummy;
	PartyFairConsumableStrings = split_string(get_property("_questPartyFairProgress")," ");
	if ( PartyFairConsumableStrings.count() == 2 ) {
		PartyFairConsumable = to_item(to_int(PartyFairConsumableStrings[1]));
		PartyFairConsumableAmount = to_int(PartyFairConsumableStrings[0]);
		if ( PartyFairConsumable.fullness > 0 )
			PartyFairConsumableCreator = $item[van key];
		else if ( PartyFairConsumable.inebriety > 0 )
			PartyFairConsumableCreator = $item[unremarkable duffel bag];
		else
			return false;
		while ( available_amount(PartyFairConsumable) < PartyFairConsumableAmount ) {
			if ( mall_price(PartyFairConsumable) > 2*mall_price(PartyFairConsumableCreator) ) {
				if ( item_amount(PartyFairConsumableCreator)==0 )
					buy(1,PartyFairConsumableCreator);
				use(item_amount(PartyFairConsumableCreator),PartyFairConsumableCreator);
			}
			else				
				dummy = buy(PartyFairConsumableAmount-available_amount(PartyFairConsumable),PartyFairConsumable,mall_price(PartyFairConsumable));

	return retrieve_item(PartyFairConsumableAmount,PartyFairConsumable);

It appears that either something changed maybe a month ago.
When you use the NEP noncom to trigger a fight, and then run away from it, Mafia will think that takes a charge when it doesn't.
-----------------
more info: it seems to only happen when you run mafia turns in the zone and get:
[12887] The Neverending Party
Encounter: It Hasn't Ended, It's Just Paused
Manual control requested for choice #1324

loading the relay browser before taking a choice in the noncom will tick the Mafia pref by 1 even though it won't in-game.
