Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

Winterbay · May 24, 2013

Well, as can be seen WHAM does know that the skill will kill the monster (damage 7505, raw damage 18000+) so that's not the problem. If you can manage to get one combat at verbosity 10 (which should abort with printout) and then one finish the fight at 9 it should hopefully give enough information to figure out what happens. I have not run into this myself yet (currently powerlevelling my last AoJ run to level 30 so mainly throwing divine things at Spaaaace monsters).

Edit: If you want to try something could you comment out line 473 (sort opts by -dmg_dealt(value.dmg)

in attack_option(). That is the only line that would in any way do anything with the deleveling/attack interactions.

Did you see my debug logs above? I really hate that double posting rule, which probably doesn't really apply in this forums anyway.

Winterbay · May 24, 2013

I did, but then I forgot about it

I'll look at it.

Edit: Ok, so in the verbosity 10 log we see that attack is OK and is predicted to do 12 damage while in the level 9 log it is predicted to do more than 300 (capped at monster HP of 134).´Both are calculated with dmg_dealt() so why the big difference?

I hate it too. If I have read a note and the author then edits it, I never see the edits. It is WAY more convenient if the author adds information in a new note, which is visible to everybody, whether or not they have read the first note.

As far as I am concerned, it is a non-rule in these forums.

Mutantopia · May 25, 2013

Just had WHAM throw up its hands and give up against a Warwelf. Should have been a trivially easy combat - I weapon-hit it once for 385 (+30) and it was down. SCBig! DB with 426 buffed moxie.

See attached. I captured at least one 10 and a couple of 9's. Commenting out line 473 made no difference. It still stops because it cannot delevel even though Weapon will one shot and stasis is known to be nonprofitable.

So, BatBrain is setting round to 31, but WHAM thinks the monster still alive. Then every thing fails, because there's no round left for the kill. I highlighted some of the debugging lines I added to WHAM and BatBrain.

EDIT: Then I removed that line from BatBrain and WHAM happily killed my monster. So the problem is end of combat related somehow.

Here's my kill. Note, when it says "BatBrain: round = maxround + 1" that isn't really happening. It just would have.

I thought I was going to run out of turns before this problem came out. I've played over 100 turns this morning and this was only the second time WHAM refused to fight.

Well, that is one difference between 5.2 and 5.4 as well that I removed the endscombat-fix since supposedly batbrain should allow enqueueing of up to 3 actions after it thought combat had ended. If this isn't really working then we would definitely have odd consequences.

Edit: Let me just say that I hate debugging things that cannot be easily reproduced. Spent 65 turns in the area where the script crashed yesterday and nothing... *sigh*

Winterbay · May 25, 2013

Ok, I think I see what the problem is.
BatBrain sets round to maxround + 1 when any option is fed through to_event that ends combat. WHAM goes through all available options in attack_option() and hen the monster HP gets below the threshold where it can kill the monster it is going to be marked as endscombat and set round to maxround + 1.
This then gets plugged into:

Code:

//Reduce RNG risk for stasisy actions
        if (kill_rounds(opt.dmg) > min(min(maxround, WHAM_maxround) - round - 1,drnd)) {
            vprint("Skipping " + opt.id + " since it is too risky.", "purple", 9);
            continue;
        }

Say we have set WHAM_maxround to maxround, in that case we will have min(min(30,30) - 31 - 1,drnd) meaning 30 - 31 - 1 i.e. -2 which definitely is less than kill_rounds meaning we will skip all options as being too risky, and since we now have no valid attack options the script is going to try and delevel until we have one (which'll never happen).

I guess adding a check for endscombat = true at the top of the attack_option() function so that if the action is marked as a combat ender it is deemed ok and sent as the action to use.

version 5.5 adds that, let me know if it has any unintended side-effects such as making you dead...

I saw the -2 thing, but it took me a while to figure out how rounds got so high. I'll give it a run tomorrow.

I finished my run. No infinite loops. No refusing to fight. No tower items burned. I'm about to ascend, but I doubt that will change. One odd thing. When WHAM throws my blue balls, it always seems to combine it with another combat item, if I have any left. Even in a combat where toss is going to be used for the kill. Not an issue for me in softcore, but I don't remember that happening a few weeks ago.

Winterbay · May 26, 2013

If you have funkslinging WHAM will choose a second item to combine with it in order to get more out of the same round (if you have any), this has been the case for quite a while. I'm not sure if that's what you're seeing perhaps?

fronobulax · May 26, 2013

New version seems to have addressed my problem. In particular it is no longer aborting automation because it can't delevel when it doesn't need to delevel. Thank you.

I guess that's it. I haven't had item usage turned on very long. I did mostly HCNP for a long time. If that's nothing new, I'll look into it and see if I have a useful suggestion.

EDIT: I agree with fronobulax. Thanks.

I'm getting a bit fed-up with issues due to Yellow Rays. WHAM has YR'd a few times on my behalf when I otherwise wouldn't have... Just because I have the He-Boulder out doesn't mean the FIRST Monster I see needs YR'ing.

So I'm backfarming an acoustic guitarrr because I had no more clovers and needed a stringed instrument. I go to belowdecks with my he-boulder out (I had a spare yellow ray and it was the absolute last item I needed to backfarm).

And WHAM decides to YR a grassy pirate. Ugh. Luckily I got it to drop with a fairy on the next turn anyway, but is there logic behind whether or not WHAM will YR a monster?

Code:

	You're fighting a grassy pirate
HP: 270, Atk: 290, Def: 276, Type: pirate, Insults: 7 (62.50%)
Drops: grassy cutlass (10)

	Grort swings his eyestalk around and unleashes a massive ray of yellow energy, completely disintegrating your opponent.
	You acquire an effect: Everything Looks Yellow
(duration: 150 Adventures)

You win the fight!
Your backpack speaks: "Maintenance of Camp Scout cleanliness must not be left to chance. Infectious agents, of both natural and enemy origin, threaten the individual operative, and in doing so, threaten the organization."

A little bottle falls from the pack.

	You acquire an item: CSA all-purpose soap [use]
	Grort gives you an invigorating hot rock massage.
	You gain 26 hit points.
	You gain 22 Mojo Points.
	Grort winks at you with his giant central eye.
	You gain 289 Meat
	You acquire an item: grassy cutlass [equip]
You gain 20 Strengthliness.
You gain 16 Mysteriousness.
You gain 40 Cheek.

It would be more helpful with the session log output or the CLI output rather than the relay browser output since that will actually tell me what it was that used the YR. That said, WHAM has no own speical code for YR, but BatBrain and SmartStasis does, meaning that WHAM will YR any monster you have in your ftf_yellow zlib-variable.

Oh... That is actually a WHAM issue since it actually used the YR to kill the monster. That should not happen and I should fix that

WHAM tried to funksling two dictionaries in the Orc Chasm. I shouldn't have been there anyway, so it saved me turns!

Heh

It's still a bug and I'll look into it.
