Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

I've uploaded v1.4 which sets the unknown_ml to specific values for the Cyrpt-monsters that Mafia (and the wiki) have no data for meaning it will hopefully not abort as much for those even if you have your unknown_ml set to values more relevant for higher level monsters. And yes, it resets the value afterwards :)
 
I'm sure you're aware, but since you don't have the resetting of unknown_ml put into a try/finally loop, if WHAM can't finish the combat for any reason and it aborts (or if the user manually aborts), their unknown_ml value stays set to your override instead of getting put back to the user's request...
 
Hmmm true. Didn't think of that. Shouldn't be too common though, but I'll keep it in mind for my next update.
 
Depends mostly if you add more monsters. Long as you keep it limited, you'll probably be fine. :) Expand it to the alcove where people might abort more often as they notice they're done with shysters or other bits, and...
 
As far as I'm aware all the monsters in the alcove have stats in Mafia already (I did a check for monsters with hp = 0 and found the four cyrpt-monsters I added and some level 11-12 monsters and a lot of holiday monsters).
However, I've fixed the issue locally so next update will fix the potential problem.
 
Version 1.5 uploaded. This fixes a number of things and should hopefully not abort as often if you need to kill the monster quickly.
Entangling noodles-support is still slightly broken.

Script attached to the first post thinks it is 1.4 ;-)
 
Version 1.6 uploaded with some minor changes for Avatar of Boris as well as fixes for a) sloppy programming and b) the new upcoming version of BatBrain.

Yeah, well his instructions works if you do it before running any batbrain-script for the day, but yeah I found that out as well...
 
1.7 uploaded which fixes an annoying bug which made the script not attack even though it should and also makes sure to use Mighty Axing instead of Attack if an Avatar of Boris.
 
What about Boris versus the NS/Bonerdagon - would attack be better here than axing (not blocked)?

best regards

Good point. I'll have to look at that I think.

What does a bad monster value "" mean?

It means that Mafia, for some reason, has failed to parse the monster name. It happens from time to time to me as well, but I have never been able to pinpoint any specific reasons for it.
 
Version 1.8 updated. It'll now no longer default to Mighty Axing against skill-blocking enemies such as the NS and the Bonerdagon, it is also compatible with the upcoming version of BatBrain (special link is included in the first post). The special copy of BatBrain is required until zarqon updates the main branch of BatBrain.
 
Alas the version posted in the first post does not work. It fails the verify command because there is at least one extra ")" circa line 216. The other errors could be because I am confused as to which versions of BatBrain and SmartStasis I am supposed to have. Variables macro and stuncount (or something like that) are referenced, for example, but not defined depending on how I max and match BB and SS versions.
 
Oops. Sorry. That's what I get for doing last minute changes after I've logged out. The version in the first post should be working now, as long as you have the "experimental" version of BatBrain linked to at the top of it.

Thanks. Will test when characters are not drunk. Test/Compile before post is a lesson most people learn the hard way so I've "Been There, Done That" too.
 
I'm trying the updated WHAM, BatBrain, and SmartStasis during a Boris run and everything is okay so far with one exception: fighting the individual subzone bosses in the Crypt.

This is with r10849 and a CCS that consists of a single line: the call to WHAM.ash.

Here's what the gCLI shows:

Code: 
[332] Defiled Cranny
Encounter: huge ghuol
Strategy: L:\software\Kol\ccs\default.ccs [default]
Round 0: Arbos wins initiative!
