SmartStasis -- a complex script for a simple CCS

[zarqon]

What? I noticed that earlier, so I already excluded all items that were not multi-usable from stasis_action(). I must have uploaded an older BatBrain. Re-download BatBrain and that problem should evaporate.

PRO TIP: You'll notice a new ZLib setting, BatMan_profitforstasis. This represents the profit needed to justify stasis -- in other words, if (all things considered) you will profit less than this per round by stasising, it won't bother stasising. Configure this to your liking -- higher values will be less likely to stasis. Optimal is theoretically 0.01 (or barely nonzero), since profit is profit, but I think in terms of actual gameplay that would be annoying and would appear to be wasting resources.

Ah, yeah I believe I messed something up in trying to fix that XOR. Ignore the cracker report for now.

The problem is that ^ (a bitwise operator) doesn't take type boolean:

> ash boolean a = true; boolean b = false; (a ^ b);

Cannot apply operator ^ to a (boolean) and b (boolean) ()
Returned: void

> ash boolean a = true; boolean b = true; (to_int(a) ^ to_int(b));

Returned: 0

> ash boolean a = true; boolean b = false; (to_int(a) ^ to_int(b));

Returned: 1

 

[roippi]

Yep. Looks like we had an old version, Zarqon. Thanks.

 

[Veracity]

> ash boolean a = true; boolean b = true; to_boolean(to_int(a) ^ to_int(b));

Returned: false

> ash boolean a = true; boolean b = false; to_boolean(to_int(a) ^ to_int(b));

Returned: true

After fixing that little problem with the code...

It correctly determines that I have 2 pickpockets available and does a rave steal if they both fail.
It flyers admirably.
It olfacts whenever required.

Unfortunately when I got poisoned by a tomb asp before beginning rave nirvana, it did ran the combo first and used an anti-dote afterwards, allowing me to get hit with the lowered moxie. (It should have used the antidote right away.)

[Bale]

Another failure for SmartishStasis. This one seems quite inexplicable. Despite quite happily rave stealing from monsters on the Battlefield (usually after a rave concentration), when I meet up with a filthworm it does not use the rave steal or rave concentration. Big bug!

At least SmartishStasis did the right thing when fighting the Queen Filthworm by using rave and disco nirvana to maximize meat. Ditto for the Nuns plus a meat vortex.

 

[slyz]

That might be because of the autosell price of 0. Did you have the gland as a goal?

Edit: I guess you did. I just noticed this comment in combo_profit():

// TODO: account for rave steal giving 100% for a remaining unconditional item

 

[Bale]

// TODO: account for rave steal giving 100% for a remaining unconditional item

LoL! That explains the problem with the filthworms! Well, he did warn us that it was unfinished!

I wonder if that's why it rave steals AFTER rave concentration?

 

[zarqon]

Haha, the problem with gremlins is one of those DUH! mistakes. It'll require figuring out multi-sort (sort options by min damage first, profit second) to fix. At the moment I'm not even sure ASH can do that, although I'm pretty sure I recall that it can...?

For now I'll move poison removal to act(), which will solve the poisoning problem. Eventually I'll want to be smarter about that and funkslinging.

I doubt I'll have time to work on scripts this weekend. Anyone who would like to beat me to fixing combo_profit() so that it properly handles Rave Steal (I'd been mistakenly treating it like a normal pickpocket), have at it!

 

[Winterbay]

There appears to have been some problem with the datafile it loaded. That might've been me having a strange one or whatnot, but it still is odd I feel. Also, that large evaluate table thingie in the middle? Seems to be not working as intended.

[zarqon]

No I think I've had that message before as well, due to data file encoding issues. The data file needs to be updated. You're welcome to have a shot at fixing it!

Your verbosity is quite high indeed, since it's showing every value-replaced formula being evaluated by eval()! I think 7 is probably high enough for debugging purposes. I'll also edit that bit in ZLib to be 10 rather than 8. I have to upload some other changes for a certain regex anyway.

 

[Winterbay]

Yeah, I've had my verbosity set to 10 for quite some time now since I like to see what is happening and before this not much above 5 or 6 have been in there so it has not mattered that much

 

[StDoodle]

Zarqon; multi-sort is fairly simple. Just run multiple sort commands in a row, in reverse order of importance. Previous order is unaffected for ties.

 

[That FN Ninja]

@StDoddle: LoL. I just saw your sig. That makes me happy.

@Veracity: I love you. You are the wind beneath my shuriken.

 

[roippi]

So I'm now playing around with BatBrain - not quite at the point where I'm trying to consult it for anything other than stasis, but getting there.

What is the proper way to call build_options() if I just want that output? I'm just trying to capture that without calling do_all() and I'm a bit confused on what to feed it.

 

[Bale]

Your verbosity is quite high indeed, since it's showing every value-replaced formula being evaluated by eval()! I think 7 is probably high enough for debugging purposes. I'll also edit that bit in ZLib to be 10 rather than 8. I have to upload some other changes for a certain regex anyway.

Huckleberry information is at 9 (really high!) which I thought would be important for posting information about my Junkyard issue. I edited eval() verbosity up to 10 since that is pure debug stuff and not as interesting for the problem.

 

[StDoodle]

Zarqon; last I checked, you were working on a fight.php override. If that's still in progress, you may want a way to check and see if combat is over. I've just uploaded a data file called "combatEndingText.txt" that could help, if you want. It'll be there anyway.

 

[zarqon]

@Doodle: This is a great trick. Thanks.

@rioppi: after calling build_options(page text), the global advevent[int] variable opts should contain a complete list of all of your possible available combat options. The function itself returns void; it doesn't have useful output.

 

[roippi]

Ah! Got it. Was confused with the global var.

 

[redwulf25_ci]

Not sure what's going on here. I was trying some stasis farming with my maxed out stocking mimic and I go to look at what mafia's doing and it's round 18 and batbrain still has me alternating between saucy salve and my facsimile dictionary. Shouldn't it be killing after round 10? Edit: I understand at round 10 stocking mimics, NPZR's, etc. stop dispensing meat.
