Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

Revision 34 of WHAM_beta and 37 of WHAM now correctly does not attempt to throw Battlefield stuff at the Trendy Bugbear Chef. WHAM_beta also contains some new code to semi-intelligently use Disco Dances to build Disco Momentum if a) you can build momentum, b) you have the skill that staggers the monster when building disco momentum, c) you gain +item from it and d) the monster can be staggered.
It's not optimal in any way, but it is at least better than never getting any momentum. The clear non-optimality of it is why it is just added to the beta-version...
If people have better suggestions I'm all ears :)

Here's an issue I'm having occasionally. I'm trying to Kung Fu fight as a moxie class, so my muscle is low, but WHAM is trying to attack an awful lot when my hit percentage is low. Why isn't it finishing off with spells? I've got the MP for it.

I've also been running into this a lot lately, where I'm opening up the pantry and my rogue program isn't used to it's full potential. Instead, it's wasting MP by throwing spells when I have WAY more moxie than I need for the zone.

Look! You found 1 stalk of asparagus (140μ)!



EDIT: It's also happening with some of the spooky woods monsters.

They've got plenty of HP to be converted to MP for building up buff durations...so I'm glad I've got a combat macro that pickpockets and then mass spams a seal tooth use.

I tried fighting my shadow with WHAM, and I get this...any ideas? (Yes, that means I was trying to be *really* lazy)

Code: 
[956] Sorceress Tower: Shadow Fight
Encounter: Shadow Pastamancer
Round 0: chef_rannos wins initiative!
ATT: 150 (100% × 177, death in 2)
DEF: 89,999 (15.27% × 83.05, win in 32)
HP: 395, Value: 328.13 μ, RES: 0
Expression syntax errors for 'modifier_eval()':
Expected end, found ,none (zlib.ash, line 185)
You're on your own, partner.
 
If you want to find out what caused it you can run the fight with verbosity at 10 which should print out all the formulas it goes through and so the one with the problem is either the last one it prints out or the one after that.
 
In AOSP runs, could the script only pickpocket if the monster holds an item that's in goals? Usually you want love because it helps with olfaction. Alternatively, a setting for mug/pickpocket?

The script can check my_audience() and assume that you want to make it more strongly whatever it currently might be, thus it will pickpocket freely if my_audience() is negative while if it is positive, it will only pickpocket to complete goals. Similiarly it will choose to Mug for the Camera whenever my_audience is positive.

This is a SmartStasis feature though, not WHAM.

I may be wrong but I think that the pickpocketing is handled by SS, need to look at that. But if so WHAM can't really do much about it (except possibly force a mug if available and the item is not a goal item).
 
I just handle pickpocket vs mugging in my CCS. One script for each and I switch scripts when I want to switch directions. The problem I have is KoLmafia often refuses to pickpocket and even "pickpocket" (with the quotes) doesn't seem to work any more. I started digging into that and got sidetracked. It was only a problem for the astral unlock before.
 
Mafia has an option for that: "Custom Combat" tab -> right-click in the field marked "Special" -> uncheck "Skip pickpocketing when no useful results or too dangerous"

I swear I unchecked that, but nope, it was checked. Problem solved.
 
Does WHAM (or something else I have forgotten) have a simulated/speculative combat mode?

Given a set of gear and a goal, I want to know which combat actions are expected to cause the most damage. My use case is for a combat that I intend to run manually because WHAM/BB don't quite get things right by themselves.
 
WHAM, but might be BatBrain.

In Video Dungeon
Unsupported boss attribute: Elemental Reistance
Click to expand...

Is the lack of support deliberate or an omission.

Is the misspelling of Reistance a KoLmafia feature or somewhere else?
 
session/GameproManager.java:143

Code: 
		else if ( responseText.contains( "elemental alignment is totally neutral, so" ) )
		{
			bossPower = "Elemental Reistance";
		}
Hard to see how a "typo" could be construed as a "feature"...

Well, you can enter a fight and run WHAM with verbosity 10 which will print out tje believed damage done by skills and also create a debug file in the data folder which, unless I have done something wrong, should include what WHAM thinks it should do to kill the monster.
You can also copy the html of a fight page and run wham outside of combat and use the copied html as input for the script.

That's because that code ia not yet supported. It's more of an informative message letting you know that it currently does not know how to handle that.
No comment on the spelling though.
