Code: 
{34} The Temple Ruins
Encounter: Idolatry
Took choice 1036/4: gain 250 gold and lose all hp
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1036&option=4
You lose 50 hit points
I did gain 250 gold. Why was it not logged?

Code: 
place.php?whichplace=spelunky&action=spelunky_camp
You gain 35 hit points
The special adventure took no turn, but resting at base camp did. I would like it to log like this:

{34} Rest at Base Camp

Code: 
place.php?whichplace=spelunky&action=spelunky_side6
Encounter: Spelunkrifice
Took choice 1041/1: sacrifice buddy
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1041&option=1
You have sacrificed your Buddy, A Helpful Guy
You acquire an item: cursed coffee cup
Again, this took no turn, but didn't log nicely. How about:

{12} The Altar

Code: 
place.php?whichplace=spelunky&action=spelunky_camp&ghostyghostghost=clown
Encounter: the ghost

Round 2: Veracity casts THROW BOMB!
Round 3: ghost (spelunky) takes 25 damage.
Round 3: Veracity attacks!
Round 4: ghost (spelunky) takes 6 damage.
You lose 21 hit points
Well, I screwed up this attempt; I didn't have the resources to deal with that many HP. But, how about logging it better?

{10} The Ghost

(or something). Now, having lost, logging was screwed up for several turns:

Code: 
place.php?whichplace=spelunky&action=spelunky_camp
You gain 51 hit points

{0} The Mines
Encounter: spider
Round 0: Veracity wins initiative!
Round 1: spider takes 14 damage.

Round 1: spider takes 10 damage.
Round 1: spider takes 14 damage.

So, what turn was it, really?

- lost to ghost on turn 10
- rested at base camp - turn 9?
- mines - turn 8?
- shop - on turn 7? What?

And then the session log starts putting in the counter again and says it is turn 7.

Code: 
{4} The Mines

{14} The City of Goooold
I find a shop - on turn 4? - which has enough bombs, fortunately.
I fight the ghost again and win.
And now we have 14 turns left?

Code: 
{0} The City of Goooold
Encounter: 

place.php?whichplace=spelunky&action=spelunky_quit
Encounter: The End of the Tale of Spelunking
Took choice 1027/1: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1027&option=1
You gain 2,064 Meat
Well, that wasn't really an encounter, was it?
 
Regarding your seeming confusion:
{12} The Altar
Note that noncombats don't take a turn.
Then you had combats (presumably won) {12} and {11}, lost to ghost on {10}, rested on {9}, and won the third combat on {8}, which brought up the shop unlock.
 
That is what I said. My "confusion" was about the shop noncombat being on turn 7. I thought noncombats came every 3 turns. Here is where they came on that run:

Code: 
{37} The Jungle
Encounter: A Shop
{34} The Temple Ruins
Encounter: Idolatry
{34} Rest in base Camp - takes a turn but does not advance noncombat counter, it seems)
{30} The Mines
Encounter: It's a Trap!  A Dart Trap.
{27} The Ice Caves
Encounter: A Shop
{24} The Mines
Encounter: A Shop
{21} The Temple Ruins
Encounter: It's a Trap!  A Smashy Trap.
{18} The Spider Hole
Encounter: A Wicked Web
{15} The Mines
Encounter: A Shop
{12} The Ice Caves
Encounter: A Landmine
Which would lead me to expect the next noncombat at turn 9. However, it happened at turn 7.

There was a loss to the ghost and a base camp rest there. Perhaps they both take turns but do not advance the noncombat counter.

My subsequent noncombats:

Code: 
{0} The Ice Caves
Encounter: A Shop
{4} The Mines
Encounter: A Shop
(Beat ghost immediately afterwards)
{14} The City of Goooold (so it did not take a turn?)
Encounter: mummy
{11} The Jungle
Encounter: It's a Trap!  A Tiki Trap.
{8} The Jungle
Encounter: A Shop
{5} The Jungle
Encounter: A Tombstone
{2} The City of Goooold
Encounter: A Golden Chest
So, it looks like losing to the ghost takes a turn but does not advance the noncombat counter, but beating the ghost adds 10 turns but does NOT advance the noncombat counter.

The noncombat counter is advanced by winning combats in the zones (I guess Spelunky ghost does not advance it, but everything else should).
 
Another thing I noticed is that ropes and bombs and keys are special:

- They do not appear in your initial inventory

- When you find a rope or a bomb (because you have a mining helmet or torch), they log like this:

You find a rope
You find a bomb

but are not added to inventory

- When you buy ropes or bombs or keys, they log like this:

Buying 5 bombs for 25 gold
Took choice 1028/1: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1028&option=1
Encounter: A Shop
Buying 5 ropes for 25 gold
Took choice 1028/2: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1028&option=2
Buying a key for 30 gold
Took choice 1028/2: unknown
choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=1028&option=2

Even though such things are in the charpane - and are in the spelunkyStatus setting - I think I'd like them to be in inventory, too.
 
They are not in inventory. I was commenting that I thought it might be nice if they were. It might make it easier to do a Spelunky script, if all Spelunky items were in inventory, for example.

I haven't committed to making that be the case. I'm just opening it for discussion.
 
Revision 15919 fixes all the logging issues:

- Parsing turns from the charpane was screwed up whenever you had the joke book of the dead equipped, since the charpane then contained a clickable link.
- Resting at base camp, exiting the game, and visiting the altar are all place.php?place=spelunky&action=xxx things and are logged.
- Fighting the ghost is actually a special case of visiting your base camp
- Trying to adventure in a location and being told the ghost has arrived is a standard adventure failure
- I fixed the expected gold amount for several choice options.

That takes care of everything I mentioned except for putting bombs/ropes/keys into inventory. I'm still undecided on this. I'll try another game after I'm done with breakfast and will go look in my KoL inventory. I will also do an api.php request for inventory to see what it says. If KoL says those items are in inventory, then I think that's where they belong in KoLmafia, too.
 
Yeah, OK. bombs, ropes, and keys are not actual items and do not appear in inventory. So, I think we're fine.

There may be a bit more we could do to make scripting easier, but I won't be thinking about that for a good long time, if ever. When the time comes, I'll make a new Feature Request to discuss it.

Revision 15920 fixes a couple more spoilers. Given that, I think this is done.
