SmartStasis -- a complex script for a simple CCS

In mafia's CLI type: update clear

Then shut down mafia and restart it. Let us know if that solves the problem.
 
Update on my bug above... think the issue is that gremlins are forced into a continual stasis in SmartStasis until they get detected as non-molybdenum, but BatBrain aborts picking a stasis item if you have equal to or less than 36 hp. Either BatBrain needs an exception for gremlins and an expectation that it'll likely kill you a bit more often, or SmartStasis needs an exception for myhp <= 36 in the string stasis function...
 
I was looking through BatBrain's logic some more and I found some errors with normalize_dmgtype()! Lines 394-398 are in the wrong place. Flavor of magic will not adjust the flavor of sauce spells, not even cayenne or peppermint. Those lines need to be bumped up to the "past" section.

Note those skills will still give a +10 damage bonus to sauce spells, just not any flavor.

Also, You forgot Ol' Scratch's ash can which turns sauceror spells hot, but only when you're a sauceror.

normalize_dmgtype() should look like this:

Code: 
string normalize_dmgtype(string dmgt) {
   switch (dmgt) {
      case "pasta": if (have_effect($effect[spirit of cayenne]) > 0) return "hot";
         if (have_effect($effect[spirit of peppermint]) > 0) return "cold";
         if (have_effect($effect[spirit of garlic]) > 0 || have_equipped($item[cookbook of the damned])) return "stench";
         if (have_effect($effect[spirit of wormwood]) > 0 || have_equipped($item[necrotelicomnicon])) return "spooky";
         if (have_effect($effect[spirit of bacon grease]) > 0 ||
            have_equipped($item[chester aquarius medallion]) || have_equipped($item[sinful desires])) return "sleaze";
      case "sauce": if (have_equipped($item[ol' scratch's manacles]) || have_equipped($item[capsaicin conjuration]) ||
            (have_equipped($item[Ol' Scratch's ash can]) && my_class() == $class[sauceror]) || 
            have_equipped($item[snapdragon pistil])) return "hot";
         if (have_equipped($item[glacial grimoire]) || have_equipped($item[double-ice box])) return "cold";
         if (dmgt == "sauce") {
            if (have_skill($skill[immaculate seasoning]) && dmg_dealt(to_spread(1+spell_elem_bonus("hot"),"hot")) != dmg_dealt(to_spread(1+spell_elem_bonus("cold"),"cold")))
               return (dmg_dealt(to_spread(1+spell_elem_bonus("hot"),"hot")) > dmg_dealt(to_spread(1+spell_elem_bonus("cold"),"cold"))) ? "hot" : "cold";
            return "hot,cold";
         }
         string res = "cold,hot,sleaze,spooky,stench,physical";
         if (res.contains_text(monster_element())) res.replace_string(monster_element()+",","");
         return res;
   }
   return dmgt;
}
 
Not trying to be space saving I just moved the spirit checks up above the sauce check :)

That said, when Mafia lacks data on something it can lead to interesting effects. In my case I ran into Dr. Awkward who has no known monster defense-value (it is 1 according to Mafia, it is ??? according to the wiki). I thus made the following change to my batbrain. It can most likely be done in a better way but at least this way works :)

Code: 
if (my_monster == $monster[none] || monster_attack(my_monster) == monster_level_adjustment() || (to_float(monster_defense(my_monster)) / monster_attack(my_monster) < 0.5))
{
	attadj = to_int(vars["unknown_ml"]); defadj = attadj;  hpadj = attadj;
}

Which made my consult script go from thinking I'd bash his head in with my oversized pizza cutter and 90 muscle in 2 rounds to thinking I had no chance of hitting him and instead casting fearful fettucini on him thus killing him instead of having him kill me :)

Edit: Changed the if-statement a bit since it actually caught most things...

fianor : We can make things work sanely for you without using UR. Put the following in your login script. You do use a login script, right? Well you do now. Save this to a file in your /script directory with the extension .ash and set it as your login script in preferences for breakfast.

Code: 
set_property("_meatperhp", to_string(max(mall_price($item[scroll of drastic healing])/ (my_maxhp()* .75), 0.001)));

That should work just fine for negating Saucy Salve by setting meatperhp, without compromising SS's idea of what it means for you to get hurt. While Universal Recovery would make SS work more accurately, it seems like a bad idea to use the script just to set a variable that can be set this easily.

The reason BB&SS do not use that simple calculation is because it is an approximation based on things I deduce about your character. If you've got Cannelloni Cocoon for example, that would change the calculation, but this is still close enough for your purpose.

setting _meatperhp to 0 worked, was in a hurry so I haven't tried your addition to my login script yet bale, but will be trying it with tomorrow's farming.

My CCS consults SmartStasis and then consults spamattack. But it seems odd for smartstasis to get stuck like that instead of just aborting or taking some other plan of action.
 
When you click to view the fight in the Relay Browser, is there any KoL Macro error?

Would running the same combat with a higher verbosity give more info?

Exciting! My script is becoming more awesome thanks to a swarm of vigilant users.

@Theraze and shazbot: Yeah, either we need to remove the abort condition in the macro (allowing them to probably one-shot you while you courageously keep stasising them) or we need to not force stasis if they can one-shot you, thus allowing you to at least get stats. I opted for the latter, which will be in the next SS update -- or if you're in a hurry, add this to the top of is_our_huckleberry(): if (my_hp() < round(m_dpr(0,0))) return false;

@Winterbay: That's a good idea. I think even better would be to separate out the stats. For all three, if any stat is unknown, adjust it up by unknownML. This could lead to some funkily balanced monsters, but it's safer than being wrong the other way. So that's what I did for this update. I also moved the monster stat and stun adjustments into a single advevent, which can/will be used predictively.

@Bale: Your fix gives precedence to Flavor skills over cookbooks. I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. If you look a little more carefully at my code, you'll note that "sauce" never reaches the Flavor section of the switch statement. I did add Ol' Scratch's ash can though (which by the way you can write without omitting the apostrophes and it won't screw with syntax highlighting!).

I also fixed the jump issue for Slimelings (and ghosts), assuming that I remembered the jump string correctly as "You get the jump".
 
Bale: I don't actually use a login script, but I do have a script which would be my login script if I wanted it to just completely automate before I looked into what's going on today. Basically it checks if I logged in with my main and buffs up /eats/drinks/spleens, farms 10+putty ducks, then farms the castle, sells/malls as appropriate, overdrinks and gets my pajamas on. If it's not my main it bounty hunts then logs on to the next multi and bounty hunts with it until all my multis have gotten their bounties.

Any way lots of probably unnecessary explanation to get to the point of, I added your suggestion to .. almost .. the first of my script and it has as you said fixed my issue.
 
Glad to hear that. I wasn't sure if you used a login script so I gave the primer just in case. I hope you didn't feel I was babying you with too much exposition.

Ah, my bad! At least I was able to contribute Ol' Scratch's ash can.
 
Suggestion for SS... When fighting a Quantum Mechanic (or Uppercase Q) do not stasis unless can_interact(). The lost opportunity cost of getting teleportitis is pretty severe and not worth the possible MP my slimeling might give me.

Ouch. I'm glad I put off finishing the dungeon of doom later than usual since that's gonna cost me a SGEEA.

Indeed it would probably be that, my fix was mainly thrown together quickly to let me use my consult script against Dr Awkward :)

You can't get teleportitis from an uppercase q.
 
You can't? I always assumed that it had all the same abilities as it's identified counterpart.

Well the Quantum Mechanic is still not a good stasis target, except possibly in aftercore.
 
I added something slightly more succinct:

PHP: 
if (last_monster() == $monster[quantum mechanic] && m_hit_chance() > 0.1) return page;  // avoid teleportitis

If a quantum mechanic has better than a 10% chance of hitting you, it will never stasis. This number can be tweaked down yet further if people are getting Teleported due to stasis.

I'm adjusting SS to use some of the more recent functions in BB. Once that's done, I'll post an SS update. Probably tomorrow.
 
I'm not sure that's good enough. Even if the quantum mechanic only hits you once, regardless of being a critical or a regular attack, it has a chance to ruin your next TEN turns. That's a big deal. Well, it will be very easy to edit in my local copy now that you added the line.
