Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

It already doesn't... At least mine hasn't been attacking at all in a long while, not even when back farming at really low level areas... The "attack"-case should contain
Code: 
my_path() != "Avatar of Jarlsberg"
at the beginning which, unless I am very mistaken, should disallow attacking as Jarlsberg.
What verbosity was that running at? Must've been lower than 3 in order to get no printout at all...
 
Yeah I got beaten up again...

Code: 
[864] Haunted Ballroom
Encounter: floating platter of hors d'oeuvres
Strategy: /~/.kolmafia/ccs/WHAM.ccs [default]
Round 0: chef_rannos wins initiative!
Round 1: chef_rannos attacks!
You lose 1 hit point
Round 2: chef_rannos attacks!
You lose 23 hit points
Round 3: chef_rannos attacks!
You lose 25 hit points
Round 4: chef_rannos attacks!
You lose 23 hit points

I'll try setting the verbosity higher and see if I can capture it again.
 
Could try my suggestion to set BatBrain to be aware that attacks while in AoJ will always miss...

Basically, open BatBrain and put
Code: 
   if (my_class() == $class[Avatar of Jarlsberg] && id == "attack") return 0.0;
into hitchance. Mine looks like this:
Code: 
float hitchance(string id) {        // HITCH-nce
   if (id == "jiggle") return 1.0;
   if (my_class() == $class[Avatar of Jarlsberg] && id == "attack") return 0.0;
   if (have_equipped($item[operation patriot shield]) && happened($skill[throw shield]) && !happened("shieldcrit")) return 1.0;

But, WHAM should already do that for you so, in theory, it shouldn't help with chef_rannos issue. A higher verbosity would be useful though.
 
Unless it's SmartStasis using attack for partial-stasis. In which case, excluding it from WHAM won't help, but my fix does... ;)
 
Nope, WHAM runs its own stasis-function which calls stasis_option (not stasis_action) which calls ok() which as stated above removes attack as an option unless that doesn't work for some reason and I've not had any problems with using attack so it is possibly something else :)
 
I've had WHAM try to enqueue Rain-Doh blue balls twice in a row despite being a once-per-fight item. It looks like it's being chosen both as a stun and as an attack.

Seeing things like the following a lot. Doesn't seem to actually cause a problem but perhaps worth mentioning. Black Cat Bad Moon Disco Bandit with latest versions of everything and BCCAscend.

The string "5021; attack" is not an integer; returning 5021 (wham.ash, line 449)
The string "7008; attack" is not an integer; returning 7008 (wham.ash, line 449)
The string "5003; attack" is not an integer; returning 5003 (wham.ash, line 449)
Click to expand...

In case I have screwed up my versioning, 449 is a vprint in allMyOptions.
 
The thing is it exices away "use " leaving "<number>; attack". So, somehow the opt.id has become "use <number>; attack" which makes very limited sense...
 
I have a problem with my balls . . .

I believe this is caused by blue balls being chosen for both stunning and attacking (cut from above):
Code: 
WHAM: Attack option chosen: use 5560 (round 2, profit: 0)
WHAM: Stun option chosen: use 5560 (round 2, profit: 0)
I hacked my WHAM to never attack with blue balls, because that was the best I could come up with and that seemed to work.
 
I think one solution may be to change line 747 to
Code: 
if(killer.id == "" || killer.id == stun.id)
so that if killer and stun action is the same it'll recalculate. It's not perfect since that will disallow any stun-option from also being an attack-option even if it is reusable, but it's better than aborting :)

Dang it. That's so obviously better now that I see it. In my defense, I seem to have caught whatever bug is going around here.

EDIT: That worked pretty well!

EDIT2: Heads up. Like the basement WHAM has lots of problem in the sea, which is the new black.

EDIT3: Dang it. That wasn't intended to be a new post. Still, it reminds me of the problems with deep basement dives.

That's interesting. I'll have to watch my multi that generally farms the sea to see if there's any trouble. ANy specifics you can give?
 
Ahh yes, also WHAM will probably kill you against a Mine Crab (my multi has special handling in its CCS for that monster for this reason). I tried getting it to work but could not.

Some mer-kins heal, which really bad for WHAM

It's more when you're somewhat outmatched that the problems start. I'm level 15 and even with equalization, tomato juice and gr8tness, WHAM loses most fights. Often it tried to be too efficient. I'm able to win every fight with noodles, blue balls, and summon levitation. Sure, that's expensive, but the point is, I can win. WHAM stuns then tries cheaper spells, often candyblast and clobber until I've lost.

I was sick all weekend, so things are a bit blurry. Like Bale I was thinking maybe a fast kill option would help.

Like I said, it reminds me of the basement. If you want to be similarly outmatched, just dive until WHAM loses a fight. However, last time I looked, it seems like there was lots of little problems that get you killed, not one big one. That was a while ago.

I figured basement diving was a special case, but now the sea might become more popular for people at level 13, so it might be a bigger problem. I don't know if I'll have time to debug. The weather outside is getting really nice.
