Yeah. I was not addressing ASH support for specialized coinmasters, yet.
You are exactly correct. I'll look into this, by and by - and your previous bug reports.
Thanks!

One more point of information about coinmasters. Most of them are simple and take a single type of token that is an $item[]. Some have multiple tokens that are different $item[]s. Some have tokens that are not $item[]s and are reported as $item[none] but are hidden counters in Kol that Mafia tracks in properties (like Dimes and Quarters).

Parsing Mafia data, there are some coinmasters with $item[] tokens that do report as such and those should be fixed.

Thanks for logging these! I was in the process of trying to automate spending my excess coinmaster tokens and ran into Fancy Dan's coinmaster .token being empty

Fancy Dan doesn't have a token because it has multiple currencies.

This is accurate. A little more info:

A Coinmaster is a shop where you can trade N of a currency for M of an item.

Most coinmasters have a single currency.
We define string $coinmaster.token for such.
If it's a real item, item $coinmaster.item is not $item[none].
If it's a pseudo item, string $coinmaster.property is how we track it.

Old coinmasters were not implemented using shop.php. I see 18 of those.
New coinmasters are in shop.php and use "ROWs". I see 78 of those.

Some coinmasters - such as Mr. Store - have multiple currencies.
Those coinmasters do not have a "token" or "item" or "property".
The mapping from item to required currency is implemented in code.
(New shop.php coinmasters can define their sales in coinmasters.txt, rather than requiring code.)

There are two ASH functions for seeing what an item sells for:

int sell_price($coinmaster, $item)

If the coinmaster has a "token", easy: that's how many tokens it requires.
If it doesn't have a "token" - it has multiple currencies - you'll get an integer, but what is the cost?

Gausie's new function
int[item] sell_cost($coinmaster, $item)
SHOULD let you see the currency - but I notice it has an issue. More later.

Lastly, NPC stores - shop.php or not - can trade multiple different currencies for an item.
Mostly, we have this implemented as "concoctions".
I see 22 of them that use shop.php.

My shop.php work allows us to implement anything that uses shop.php - single or multiple currency, real or pseudo item, coinmaster-like or concoction-like - as a new-style coinmaster.
(Gausie's function works correctly with those coinmasters.)

Yes. As mentioned, they have $coinmaster.token and $coinmaster.property

Also, as mentioned, sell_price and sell_cost will tell you how many "currency" things cost - and the latter will tell what what the costs are, for new-style coinmasters - but, perhaps it could use work for old-style coinmasters with multiple currencies.

Code:

> ash sell_price($coinmaster[Fancy Dan the Cocktail Man], $item[Marltini])

Returned: 1

> ash sell_cost($coinmaster[Fancy Dan the Cocktail Man], $item[Marltini])

Returned: aggregate int [item]
none => 1

It's be nice if the last one was drink chit => 1

Just one report as I'm working with this:

$coinmaster[Cheer-o-Vend 3000] is incorrectly seen as inaccessible with is_accessible. And also attempting to buy with buy. Clicking the [exchange] link on crystalline cheer brings you to the coinmaster shop. So I assume it should be accessible as long as you have any amount of crystalline cheer in inventory?

Veracity · Mar 15, 2025

I see this:

Code:

  public static String accessible() {
    int cheer = CHEER.getCount(KoLConstants.inventory);
    if (cheer == 0) {
      return "You need some crystalline cheer.";
    }
    return null;
  }

But I also see this:

Code:

  public String accessible() {
    // Returns an error reason or null
    if ("Removed".equals(this.getRootZone())) {
      return "Zone is no longer accessible";
    }

    return this.accessible.get();
  }

and this:

Code:

Crimbo17    Removed    Christmas 2017

I think the "Removed" check should only be done if the Coinmaster does not have a custom accessible method...

Veracity · Mar 15, 2025

Yeah, that's an easy enough fix.

Code:

> inv crystalline cheer

> ash is_accessible($coinmaster[Cheer-o-Vend 3000])

Returned: false

> ash inaccessible_reason($coinmaster[Cheer-o-Vend 3000])

Returned: You need some crystalline cheer.

> pull 1 crystalline cheer

Pulling items from storage...
Requests complete.

> ash is_accessible($coinmaster[Cheer-o-Vend 3000])

Returned: true

Awesome! The accessibility is working great, but there is an issue with sell_price/sells_item for Cheer-o-Vend 3000 with relation to the Journals of Mime Science. They are only able to be purchased if you were active during that Crimbo.

So for me, the shop does not have any of the journals, but the commands believe that it has the one related to my current class.

Code:

> ash sell_price($coinmaster[Cheer-o-Vend 3000], $item[The Journal of Mime Science Vol. 3])

Returned: 1000

> ash sells_item($coinmaster[Cheer-o-Vend 3000], $item[The Journal of Mime Science Vol. 3])

Returned: true

But my actual shop looks like:

Veracity · Mar 18, 2025

I have a fix for sell_cost for coinmasters that don't use new-style ShopRows.
Some examples:

Ordinary coinmaster with a single currency.

Code:

> ash sell_cost($coinmaster[The Terrified Eagle Inn], $item[silver Dreadsylvanian flask])

Returned: aggregate int [item]
Freddy Kruegerand => 100

Coinmasters with multiple currencies.

Code:

> ash sell_cost($coinmaster[Fancy Dan the Cocktail Man], $item[Marltini])
Returned: aggregate int [item]
drink chit => 1

> ash sell_cost($coinmaster[Fancy Dan the Cocktail Man], $item[Mysterious Stranger])
Returned: aggregate int [item]
milk cap => 1

> ash sell_cost($coinmaster[Cosmic Ray's Bazaar], $item[space shield])
Returned: aggregate int [item]
rare Meat isotope => 25

> ash sell_cost($coinmaster[Cosmic Ray's Bazaar], $item[digital key])
Returned: aggregate int [item]
white pixel => 30

> ash sell_cost($coinmaster[Cosmic Ray's Bazaar], $item[Boris's key])
Returned: aggregate int [item]
fat loot token => 1

> ash sell_cost($coinmaster[Your Spinmaster™ lathe], $item[birch battery])
Returned: aggregate int [item]
flimsy hardwood scraps => 1

> ash sell_cost($coinmaster[Your Spinmaster™ lathe], $item[wormwood wedding ring])
Returned: aggregate int [item]
wormwood stick => 1

Maybe I'll write some tests. In any case, I'll submit this, by and by.

Could a function be made (or exposed) such that we could get the coinmasters that accept a token item?

Currently we can search for this with the single token coinmasters by checking their token proxy record field, but for the multiple token masters who do not have this field populated, there isn't an easy way to connect them.

I believe the only way to do this right now would be to iterate through every coinmaster with sell_cost and check every coinmaster item against each coinmaster to see whether any of them return an int [item] that contains the token we'd like to check against
