Feature - Implemented Steel Organ Mourn automation

During the Steel Organ quest, my life would be made easier if I didn't have to, upon finding the items to make Mourn laugh, navigate to my inventory, go back, make him laugh, go back to inventory and wear what I just was.
It would be very nice if, upon having possession of the hilarious comedy prop, Victor, the Insult Comic Hellhound Puppet, and/or Observational glasses, I could just click the button to make him laugh and Mafia would auto-equip, make him laugh, then re-equip, along the lines of the reassembled blackbird.
 
Revision 9472 adds half of this: when you find one of the comedy items, it adds a use link to go do the appropriate kind of comedy on Mourn. So, for the insult puppet - and off-hand item - you will get two use links: "equip" and "insult mourn".

Click the first one, it puts on the puppet - which will only work if you don't have a 2-handed weapon.
Then click the second, it insults Mourn.
You have to re-equip your offhand item in the Gear Changer.

I'm leaving this open since your suggestion is better, but much more complicated internally: we have to save an outfit checkpoint, manually unequip a 2-handed weapon before equipping an offhand, choose the least important accessory to replace, and so on. Unlike the wormride link, we can't just do a bunch of stuff and finish by visiting the original URL in the link.

So, this will take more figuring out - and I don't have time right now, especially since I am past this quest in my current ascension now.
 
If I click on the "equip" link, it sends me to my inventory in the relay browser afterward; the "insult mourn" option thus appears to be useless unless I equip it from the Gear Changer.
 
Sounds like you need to turn on "force results to reload inline for [use] links". Hopefully the "equip" link counts as a "use" link here.
 
Lorne item use decorations.

Maybe I'm not doing it right, but when I get an item (say the comic hound dog) I get two options: [equip] and [insult].
Choosing the fast option [insult mourn] doesn't work because, from what I can tell, it attempts the insult without first equipping the item.
 
That is a correct description of how it currently works. You have to equip the item yourself first, either using the [equip] link (if you have in-line use links) or via the Gear Changer.

I'm going to merge this into the Feature Request - still open - for which these use links were a partial solution.
 
Oh, a current thread.
Well, I guess I'm just not quite sure I understand why I'd have to use [equip] (which navigates me away, and I like that behavior) and then [insult] when things like [wormride] do the equipping, the riding, -and- the un/re-equipping, and don't even have an [equip] option.
 
Because it TAKES EFFORT to make things work nicely like that, effort that nobody has expended yet. What is so difficult to understand about that?
 
I merely was pointing out that the functions appear as if they'd behave the same, but act differently; I was not trying to complain about a lack of mafia playing my game for me. Sorry to be ambiguous.
 
Observe Mourn link doesn't equip the Observational Glasses

When adventuring in Hey Deze and getting the Observational Glasses in Beliafs a link appears to "observe Mourn". Clicking on the link doesn't equip the glasses and you get the failure message from Mourn rather than the lollipop.

Edit: Never mind. I just saw the updates to the "Steel Organ Mourn" thread and that explained what is happening.

EDIT: I forgot about the check for a 2-handed weapon when trying to equip the insult puppet.

I feel comfortable adding small things like this, especially when there are other examples to copy from. On the other hand, I'm still having a hard time fixing the conditionally available combat skills :(
 
OK, I have tried this.

When I beat Carbuncle Top, I got the link: "visit mourn".
I clicked on it.
KoLmafia equipped the comedy prop, tried prop humor on him, and requipped my previous weapon.
It then "visited" mourn and I saw the page where you can try various kinds of humor on MOurn - missing the one which we'd just successfully completed, obviously.

In the ideal world, I'd see the result of trying prop humor on Mourn - the stat gains. That's hard, since we'd want to requip first and show the result of that visit. That's why I didn't do what you did with my initial half-support for this request. :)

Hmm. I have an idea. I have two more chances to experiment...
