Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

Magus_Prime said:
The r50 update to Batbrain breaks WHAM. I'm working my way through trying to accommodate the changes in Batbrain. So far I've had to make two changes:

Change line 500 to
Code: 
if (my_path() == "Zombie Slayer" && monster_stat("howmany") > 1 && no_bears()) return true;

Change line 1086 to
Code: 
if(have_skill($skill[Disco State of Mind]) && have_skill($skill[Disco Greed]) && have_skill($skill[Flashy Dancer]) && monster_stat("nostagger") < 1) {

THanks for the report. I've updated the script with those changes. I do not have much time to play at the moment so any report like this is much appreciated.

I have one small report, you can't use communications windchimes against a storm cow in the battlefield. I'll try to have a poke through the code to see if i can give you a fix too.
 
Are storm cows inherent to the battlefield in Heavy Rain or are they wandering monsters? Non-regular monsters at the battlefield should already not be allowed the use of windchimes or pdal phones courtesy of BatBrain:
Code: 
         case 2065: if (my_location() != $location[the battlefield (frat uniform)] || get_counters("PADL Phone",0,10) != "" ||  // PADL phone
            string_modifier("Outfit") != "Frat Warrior Fatigues" || appearance_rates(my_location())[last_monster()] > 0) continue;
         case 2354: if (to_float(my_stat("hp"))/my_maxhp() < 0.25) fields.pdmg = "-275";      // windchimes
             else if (to_float(my_stat("mp"))/max(1,my_maxmp()) < 0.25) fields.special = "mp 175";
              else fields.dmg = "175";
            if (to_item(it) == $item[PADL phone]) break;
            if (my_location() != $location[the battlefield (hippy uniform)] || get_counters("Communications Windchimes",0,10) != "" ||
                string_modifier("Outfit") != "War Hippy Fatigues" || appearance_rates(my_location())[last_monster()] > 0) continue; break;
 
appearance_rates(my_location())[last_monster()] > 0

That looks like it should actually be <= 0, and that BatBrain currently only allows PADL phones and windchimes to be used against wandering monsters and such that happen to show up on the battlefield.
 
Yesterday WHAM was losing every single fight at the Secret Government Laboratory. When fighting manually, I didn't find the fights hard and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Is there something going on there that BatBrain, WHAM, or mafia doesn't yet know? I didn't see anything on the wiki, but that's no surprise. Oh, and I have Manuel, so it wouldn't be stats that are the issue.
 
WHAM took too long to make the kill, so I got beaten up. I just hit them harder. I didn't check to see if die rounds was right. I was in a hurry. Hopefully, I can finish this run today and recreate the problem tonight or tomorrow, if I'm not too high level then.

Crowther: I noticed similar behavior a few days ago but it didn't happen again. What I saw was WHAM aborting after the combat was complete with the classic "You're on your own..." message.

It aborted part way through so I used MMJ and hit the script button, but I think next time I'm just going to cast something huge. ;)

SmartStatis extended combat. Why, I don't know. Maybe something in your outfit gives a drop during combat? WHAM did a cheap kill starting with accordion bash.
 
That's part of the "problem" I'm trying to address in the SmartStasis thread.

You can start by commenting out the section labeled "safe salve" in build_custom() or blacklisting Saucy.

What we need is a "smarter stasis" that doesn't do any extra actions if you're taking damage every round. I still want it to do flyers, gremlins, siphons, stomps, copies, etc but all these extra rounds of stasising for mp or waiting for bjorn/crown drops is not helpful for certain values of +ML.
 
I'm posting this primarily to remind me to run a debug combat next time but if anyone has an idea of why WHAM is so far off on damage calculations it would be appreciated.

During the last two HR runs I let WHAM decide how to kill the Big Wisnaqua and both times it output the following to the gCLI:

Code: 
WHAM: Running SmartStasis
WHAM: Starting evaluation and performing of attack
WHAM: Reached WHAM_round_limit while looking for a way to kill the monster. Executing the current strategy and continuing from there.
WHAM: We are going to 15-shot with Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Saucestorm, Cadenza, Saucestorm and Saucestorm.

WHAM then proceeded to kill the monster in 13 rounds.
 
That's probably just you getting some decent hits in, and isn't really a major issue. If you have a specific "it said that it should do 300 damage and it actually did 18" case, that's something to log... for BatBrain... but taking 13 of your 15 rounds and saving some MP? Almost certainly not a bug.
 
Since the 13th action was Cadenza: Any chance that did more damage than expected? Also, you could've had more than the expected share of critical spells.
 
All possibilities. If it had only happened once I wouldn't have given it any further thought but the same thing happened with the same monster during back-to-back ascensions so it made me curious. I'll start a new HC HR run after a few more days of Conspiracy Island and see what happens.
 
I've been through and through the code and I just can't figure out why WHAM is attacking. My hitchance is set to the default .5, but I tried other settings. WHAM properly sees I have a 38% chance to hit with attack. It even correctly flags it in red on high debug settings. Yes, it often attacks until I get beaten up. As best as I can tell, attack is being removed properly, but obviously it isn't.
