Universal Recovery Script

[Spiny]

And more! In regular verbose mode, while autoadventuring and my CCS not efficiently doing what I'd hoped due to fumbling. This is an auto-restore:

Restoring HP! Currently at 149 of 1389 HP, 764 of 1526 MP... Target HP = 1389, current meat: 50594.

Why'd it buy 18 MMJ and then another MMJ separately? *ponders* Is the intent to get to full mana, cast cocoon and then buy 1 MMJ to restore the lost MP back? I hadn't seen this before...

I think I follow all that you're saying about finetuning verbose responses to be more informative. (Though I'll admit my enthusiasm for doing something that doesn't actually improve the script's function is low.)

You explained "it checks your MP to see if the cost of a healing spell will reduce your MP below your MP healing trigger." This made sense to me, but doesn't rectify that the script reports the trigger MP rather than the true target MP in the restore both/restore hp (where my_mp < Trigger MP %) scenario.

The target (which it reports) should be your trigger MP plus 20. Looking at your examples, it seems something weird is going on. I'll look into that.

Understood. No worries. You've busted tail getting it functional for me where it wasn't functional before. As I said, it was mere cosmetics I was mentioning

This is probably ok as is.

For what it's worth, I really do think you rock and a lot of my criticisms are grounded in my history as a proofreader and bean counter. I used to get paid to make sure every "c" was a "c" and not an "e" and all "i"s and "l"s were not "1"s, etc. In short, these various cosmetic things are probably only going to be noticeable to someone who scrutinizes over little things the way I do. Most folks wouldn't notice I'd guess.

Thanks for the quality script. There are a couple minor issues I've found that I thought you might like to know about:

- When ascending as a Myst class, the script attempts to buy MMJ from the guild store for in-combat restorative purposes before the store has been unlocked, aborting with an error along the lines of "you are not yet out of ronin". It appears that because reserve_healing() is called before the actual MP restoration routine in main(), and guild_store_available() is only checked in that portion of main() rather than in buy_mmj() (which only checks that you are Myst or level >9 AT), the script is unable to do anything when no reserve items are on hand and MMJ is going to become available in future. Of course, it works fine if you just unlock the store, but one is not always able to do that right away.

- The visit_nuns() check for Frat Warrior inaccessibility is not quite complete: using a Spooky Putty sheet, it is possible to complete the nuns as a Frat Warrior before the area is unlocked with the Frat Warrior uniform. The function only removes the Frat outfit to use the nuns if it is completed as a hippy and the zone has not yet been unlocked as a frat, so the script attempts to just visit the nuns after every combat while still wearing the frat outfit (and having completed the zone as a frat but not yet having unlocked it). It would probably work if sidequestNunsCompleted checked for both hippy and frat cases while hippiesDefeated was less than 192.

 

[Bale]

I'd just caught that problem with the MMJ myself. Good eyes.

Another good point about the nuns problem. I'll be right on that. Interesting that you pointed out this problem with nun recovery just aftter I finally "fixed" gnaddelwarz's problem with properly making use of the nuns healing if you have completed it as a hippy and your HP > 1000.

Probably issuing another release soon to fix these problems.

For some reason the script is choosing Doc over my clan's VIP Hot Tub despite having pulled the key from Hagnk's yesterday. Right now i have Mafia's restoration set to auto-recover @ 30% HP, and restore to 100%.

Love the script, thanks for all the hard work!

 

[StormCrow42]

For some reason the script is choosing Doc over my clan's VIP Hot Tub despite having pulled the key from Hagnk's yesterday. Right now i have Mafia's restoration set to auto-recover @ 30% HP, and restore to 100%.

The script is configured to only use the hot tub to cure beaten up, poisoned if you're below 1/6th HP, or if you're below 1/9th HP.

 

[Bale]

As StormCrow42 says. Since you only get 5 visits a day, the script tries to use them when you'll get the most use out of them.

If your HP never get below 30% then you'd never use the Hot Tub. However, if a monster gets in a few lucky hits and your HP drop to 11% or you get beaten up, then it will decide to use the Hot Tub.

 

[th3y]

If your HP never get below 30% then you'd never use the Hot Tub.

It's not uncommon for me to finish the day with Hot Tub rests left over. A suggestion: as you get low on remaining turns, increase priority of the Hot Tub so you don't end the day with "wasted" opportunities.


Example logic:

first, estimate "expected advs remaining" along these lines:
(in HC/ronin) actual advs remaining + 3.5 * remaining fullness + 3.5 * remaining drunkenness + 1.75 * remaining spleen

then, if (expected advs remaining) < (10 * Hot Tub remaining) , increase priority of Hot Tub


In other words, burn a Hot Tub if you have 5 Hot Tubs remaining with less than (for example) 50 expected advs remaining; or 4 or more Hot Tubs remaining with less than 40 expected advs, etc.


That's what TH3Y think

 

[Bale]

That's an excellent idea. I've added it exactly like that.

Universal recovery v 3.33 released!​

Changelog:
version 3.33 August 26, 2009

• Improved clarity of verbose mode
• Improvement to Hot Tub usage
• Improvement to using Nuns for HP restoration
• Bugfix for using Nuns to restore after the putty trick
• Fix for r7570's mall_price() change
• Can remove need for user confirmation if version increases low decimals

 

[shoptroll]

The script is configured to only use the hot tub to cure beaten up, poisoned if you're below 1/6th HP, or if you're below 1/9th HP.

Ahhh that explains why I was seeing it activating on day 1 (when I had little HP) and didn't see it at all yesterday.

Looking forward to trying the new version tonight. Thanks again Bale!

 

[Bale]

You're welcome. Thanks to the idea that TH3Y had, you should see a lot more Hot Tub usage when you start running low on turns.

 

[Spiny]

I rolled back to the prior version cos something is not right with the new one, presumedly on account of the mall_price() fix?

New version, super-verbose mode with zero meat on hand, restore mana trigger set to not restore in order to avoid mana restoration altogether for the purposes of testing restore hp alone.

I noticed you added the verbose tweaks in the new version, thanks for that. Now what do I need to do to get the new version to heal properly for me? I did do my usual tweaks as far as mall purchasing goes.

Hey Bale
What is this and how does it work?
Get Steel Organ

 

[Spiny]

Hey Bale
What is this and how does it work?
Get Steel Organ

I think that's a feature Bale implemented so that after you've gotten the third Azazel piece, Azazel's Tutu, the script provides you with an 8-turn counter, which should be sufficient to get the Bureacracy of the Damned adventure should you decide to adventure elsewhere during those turns. It's merely informational.

-Spiny

 

[Bale]

As Spiny says, it's purpose is to warn you to return to the Friars for the steel organ. If you're like me you'd leave the Friar's Gate after getting the Tutu and spend the next 8 turns elsewhere. If you're not like me, then just ignore the counter and it will go away after 8 turns.

You see, KoL has an invisible counter that limits how often you can get the chance to go see Azazel. If you return after 8 turns you are GUARANTEED that the adventure will show up immediately. Funsies! I like not having to spend those turns in the Friar's Gate since there are usually other things I'd like to do.

The script makes that counter automatic because sometimes I forget to return for my steel organ until I run out of turns. Then I hate myself. This way I don't have to hate myself.
