Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

Code: 
WHAM: We are going to 2-shot with Thunderstrike and     Saucestorm.
Round 3: fluxxdog executes a macro!
Round 3:     fluxxdog casts THUNDERSTRIKE!
Round 4: fluxxdog casts SAUCESTORM!
Round     5: drunken rat takes 74 damage.
Round 5: drunken rat takes 74 damage.
Round     5: fluxxdog wins the fight!
First time using WHAM, and came across this. It intends to multi-round stun followed by a predicted OHKO. Is this correct behavior, because the stun seems unnecessary.
 
Good question. It should not try and stun if it thinks it'll win in one go. If you run combats at slightly higher verbosity you will get more information on what happened and why. I tend to always run at a verbosity of 7 but that is probably overkill for normal running, but for finding out what happened it is pretty useful.
 
Hmmm... I actually run at verbosity 7. I checked my logs to see what happened before that atttack:
Code: 
> WHAM: SmartStasis complete.
> WHAM: SS did not finish the fight, continuing with script execution. 
> WHAM: Starting evaluation and performing of attack
> WHAM: Enqueuing a stun to help with the battle
> WHAM: Enqueueing Saucestorm (macroid skill 4005).
> WHAM: We are going to 2-shot with Thunderstrike and Saucestorm.
I'll bump up to 10, see what happens. BTW, noticed a typo looking over logs:
Code: 
> WHAM: Throwing some pocket crumbs at [B]yoru [/B]opponent
Edit: Lesson for today: setting verbosity to 10+ makes WHAM abort! Tried 9 instead ^^

Yeah, 10 and 11 are only used for getting predictive information and not performing anything :)

Also, I have no idea why it does that...
Code: 
if(cast[0].macroid == stun.id && count(cast) > 1) {
        vprint("WHAM: Enqueuing a stun to help with the battle", "purple", 3);
        if(!enqueue(get_action(cast[0].macroid)))
            quit("Failed to enqueue the stun " + cast[0].readableid + ". Aborting to let you figure this out.");    
        go = 1;
    }

That code is there to prevent adding a stun if there is only one action planned...

I think it could be ignoring Weapon completely for some reason.

EDIT: I've observed the stun before oneshot behaviour that the previous posters were talking about, too. I just added all my stunners to the dontuse menu, since I was in a hurry that day.

I fairly new to WHAM and don't usually use it in aftercore since a simple CCS can easily handle all my needs. I've been in aftercore for a few weeks now and thought I'd fire up WHAM and give the nemesis script a try. I did an SVN update and my version of WHAM seemed to be up-to-date, but I did get an update for BatBrain. This seems to have broken WHAM. It looks to me like BatBrain eliminated the global variable "howmanyfoes" and the function that sets its value, resulting in an undefined variable in WHAM.ash. To wit:
Code: 
     if (my_path() == "Zombie Slayer" && howmanyfoes > 1 && no_bears()) return true;

on line 500 of my copy of WHAM. Any ideas on where my update went wrong and how to get it back on track? As always, thanks in advance.
 
I'm almost certain I updated WHAM to fix that error. I can't check at the moment though since I'm at work (blocks access to Sourceforge).

Also, in regards to Thrall tactics I am not sure BatBrain and in extension WHAM knows about what it does which is probably why that had no effect.

There are two changes that are necessary. The details are a few pages back but here's a direct link to the post. Winterbay modified the SVN copy of WHAM the same day. If uninstalling and reinstalling WHAM from SVN doesn't fix the problem for you then you can make the changes by hand.
 
Hey Winterbay, I was looking into using WHAM for the default CCS to my adventure script. It would let me run way higher ML without worrying about coding tons of CCS stuff. While it excels at killing things before they kill you, it doesn't always take the most economic path.

For example, I started out a fresh ascension as AT, and I am using the Shakespeare's Sister's Accordion. AT have the ability to use the Cadenza skill, which doesn't cost anything, can only be used once per fight, and applies some effect based on the accordion being used. With the Shakespeare's Sister's Accordion, the Cadenza does ~33 cold damage and heals 4-5 HP and MP which helps on saving meat from restores, especially when casting buffs at low levels. However, WHAM doesn't take any of this into account and never uses the Cadenza skill, even if there is no threat by the enemy.

The same could be said about pickpocketing which it also doesn't seem to do despite winning initiative and having no threat. There isn't any reason to not try for some free items.

Is there any way to get WHAM to take these things into account? Or is this beyond the scope of WHAM?
 
WHAM choosing not to use Cadenza would be a BatBrain issue. If BatBrain doesn't propose it, then obviously WHAM won't use it... since it exists, it SHOULD really work, but...

Pickpocket happens during SS, not WHAM. If there's an item not 100% guaranteed to drop with your +itemdrop and there's a chance you should survive... it should auto-steal. Works for me. As per this log from yesterday.

Code: 
cadenza    7029    Shakespeare's Sister's Accordion    32.5 cold    -4.5    mp 4.5, stun 1

In my version of batfactors (which is pretty old now) that line is in there so it should be able to use that skill. Not sure why it wouldn't. If you run a fight at a verbosity of 10 or 11 you should get information on the skills (without performing any actions) considered which should tell you why it did not decide to use Cadenza.
 
Alright, I will run it with some high verbosity and see what is going on. For now, here is an example of what is going on.

> WHAM: SS has finished the fight. Aborting script execution.

These 3 fights happened back-to-back.

Fight 1: I win initiative, but wolfman doesn't drop anything, so we skip stealing and go to combat. It could Cadenza but it instead decides to attack.

Fight 2: I don't win initiative, goes to combat, I don't Cadenza, it dies in 1 hit.

Fight 3: I win initiative, I don't steal and item, I DO Cadenza, dies in one hit, and I don't get the item.

In all these fights I had 19 HP, running +15 ML, and 25+ moxie (too lazy to calculate exact number). Looking at the wiki's damage formula they should be expected to deal 4-7 damage per round, assuming they hit me.

All this being said, I don't get why it isn't Cadenzaing every time or going for pickpockets. I will run some more tests though to get some more info.
 
Ran it with high verbosity (11 for 1 battle and then the rest of the time at 9). It does take in account the Cadenza profit and during the run would constantly use it as a first skill if it didn't pickpocket, which it also seemed to calculate fine. That being said, it doesn't explain why it was acting strangely for the first day. When I get back to day 1, I will run it at high verbosity and see what it says then.

On a different note, it aborted when fighting a huge ghuol.
Information: My Moxie=131, My ML=+55, Monster's Attack=73, Total Attack=128, Monster's Chance to Hit =~39%.
Basically, WHAM was going to Stun with accordion bash, Cadenza, and then auto him to death. Then it said "attack is not OK since it will hurt you more than the monster." and aborted. I proceeded to Cadenza and auto it to death manually.

My question is did it not want to fight it because it thought I was going to lose or because I'd lose more HP than the possible profit from the monster? I can post the whole fight if that would help.
 
Ran into an interesting problem with WHAM, fought a chalk wraith and WHAM went crazy....

It repeated this process 100 times before I noticed and aborted.
 
How much health did the wraith have left? I mean since it never managed to submit the macro I wonder what the heck it was trying to do...
 
I auto attacked it once after it did the initial 3 shot thing and it died, so 20 or less HP leftover.

I have noticed it seems to have trouble against enemies that have high physical resist. I think it doesn't calculate elemental damage on weapons very well. It will often abort on the protector spirit in the hidden city when it could auto it to death in 7-8 turns.
 
The question there is, did spices also get changed when the fat cash did? Is the problem that they are no longer a throwable item, or had your inventory gotten out of sync somehow despite mafia's parsing of combat items, or... something else similar?
