SmartStasis -- a complex script for a simple CCS

Well... that's actually not entirely true. SS creates and generates a Macro that does nothing (executing WHAM from the Relay browser shows 1 round of "you twiddle your thumbs"). The generated macro contains batround only and nothing else which is... odd because I can see nothing in the code that I would expect to do that.

The generated macro can be seen in the example, if we extract just SS we get:
Code:

As can be seen at the top SS generates a macro and executes that, after which Mafia gets confused and SS reparses the round number as still being 1.

Yeah, just fixed that. When I rearranged all the code, macro() ended up missing a check for an empty queue before submitting the macro. Since depending on the character that might mean a waasted server hit per fight, I'm posting that tiny but big update to the BB thread in just a few minutes!
 
There is still a bug on Cyrus.
I haven't isolated it yet but for some reason the property "usedagainstcyrus" keeps getting overwritten with an empty string. I think this is what is messing it up.
Or for whatever reason it keeps slinging the same pair.

Okay, as I mentioned in the BB thread, I didn't fix the empty macro submission like I thought with that last BB update. I did, however, fix it now in SS, but I'd like to add support for black boxes before posting a release. Tomorrow I expect to be able to add that, so a fixed version will be up then with black box support, and a fixed version of BB will also be up (there were some kinks in auto-funkslinging) and unless any serious bugs are reported that will be the last in this rash of (possibly annoying) updates for a while.

mredge: Hmmm. Okay, Cyrus will go on the list of things to investigate.
 
May I, now that the boss-proxy field exists, suggest that the Stomping Boots-check in SS gets turned into:
Code: 
  // release the boots!
   if (my_familiar() == $familiar[stomping boots] && my_location() != $location[none] && get_property("bootsCharged") == "true" && 
       count(get_monsters(my_location())) > 1 && m.boss == false)) {

(since $phylum[none] no longer is unique for bosses and a lot of them now has a phylum)
 
I've got a problem with SS in BorisCore. Okay, technically this may be a problem with stasis_action()...

SS loves to use Intimidating Bellow on weak monsters that I can (and will) kill in a single hit. There's no profit in casting a 3 mp skill when I can kill the monsters for 0 mp without it.

This happens because if the monster is capable of hitting me, the massive delevel will reduce the monster to not being able to hit me and to_profit() multiplies that difference in damage by meatperhp. The only sane way to account for that is for stasis_action() to only count it as profit if kill_rounds(attack_action()) is greater than 1.

Here's a sample at verbosity 8:

With my current strength of 211 and huge damage bonuses, using mighty axing will crush that puny monster with impunity so it certainly wasn't worth 200.67 to spend those 3 mp. I admit I can afford the mp cost, but it is a wasted server hit.

Ugh. This is a problem I've been having. In one of these fights it used my flyers. In the other fight it did not try to flyer. Why? It does not seem to be because of a lack of MP.

I found a limit to enqueue_combos(). Unfortunately it removes each combo from the list as it enqueues it. That means I cannot test several macros that combos.

Is there any advantage to remove combos[n] or will you remove it from the next version? Since SS only calls that function from try_combos(), the same result will be caused by adding clear(combos) to the end of try_combos().


Edit: Huh. I just deleted that line from my version of SS and I'm still not getting combos in my macros. More investigation is needed since there may be another problem. Still, this was definitely not helpful.

I found the other half of my problem, but I don't understand it. For some reason reset_queue() prevents all the combos from being queued.... Huh? I cannot figure that one out.
 
The "correct" fix to this is my original plan of simply adding combos to opts[] as part of build_options() rather than their own separate deal, which is a vestigial format from the pre-BB SS. Once that fairly big rewrite is done, profitable combos will naturally occur as part of the stasis loop, and the build/enqueue/try combos functions will be no more.

Until then, if we (meaning mostly you) work out an alternative solution I'll definitely give it a go, but I don't have a whole lot of motivation to get that working given the long view. Are you calling build_combos() again to populate combos after you reset the queue? If you're not, you need to -- enqueue_combos() will not also rebuild the combo list.

Also, what??

reset_queue() removes the work done by build_combos() and build_custom()? That would explain my problem. Oy gevalt! Simple enough to fix although a little troubling. It means calling buld_combos() and build_custom() a few more times than I would like to do so.

Thank you for the simple solution.

Just took a look. You're right. Once upon a time it did not so I had to build in a work-around in DAM. I guess I don't need that anymore.

Siphon Spirits is looking a little tricky.

First, always use it to get goal drinks.

Second, always use it when red. Wait, no, because maybe you only want to get drinks that boost your primestat.

Well, always use it for primestat red-aura drinks then? Okay.

Maybe some players want to use it for any red-aura drink regardless of stat, to get maximum +turns from their familiar. Okay, we'll need a setting, perhaps named siphon_primestat_only. If it's false, it won't discriminate based on stat.

Should we pay attention to level requirements? Probably most HC players will not reach level 8 on Day 1, so they wouldn't even be able to drink a Day 1 red-aura drink. They should thus stick to blue or orange. But maybe they want to stockpile drinks for later!

I'm kind of drawing a blank on how best to support this. Those who requested support for it: how would you like SS to support this skill? Am I on the right track with the first couple bits at least?

@Winterbay: Just saw your post about not stomping bosses. Will be in the next release, but I'm still skipping gooey paste and $item[none].

I'd go with a zlib ss_siphon_color setting that would specify what color to siphon at, maybe with a "none" setting for disabling.
 
Mighty Axing doesn't work if Trusty isn't equipped. Pretty certain this is a SS/BB issue as both WHAM and DAM are happily using it to no effect.

Edit: Errr, maybe not actually.

I'll go post over there, although WHAM is doing the same thing.
