Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

How much ML are you running? That would be my first guess, as that's exactly 92% of the expected damage.

I didn't log that, since it didn't effect the damage, but I was boasting it to get the pygmy's HP higher. I'm believe you are right. BatBrain believes that since it's physical damage, they'll resist part of it, but they actually don't. I'm sure there's some way to flag that.

Oh, and I forgot we're in the wrong thread!

EDIT: Let me double check to make sure ML doesn't change things.

EDIT2: +465 ML and the damage calculation no change to the damage in KoL, so physical resistance doesn't seem to apply to calculator damage.

I've had this issue for some time, months, but keep forgetting to mention it here, WHAM isn't able to handle combats with the groups that result from visiting the Registration Desk. WHAM just informs me that I'm on my own.

Any ideas?

Odd. I've used WHAM to handle these combats. I did so even a few days ago.
 
It's going to be a month before I ascend but I'll try to remember to run at a high debug level the next time around. At least I now know it's something specific to my system or character equipment.
 
The reason WHAM has trouble handling the contestants is Batbrain returns 0 - 3 damage for sauce/pasta spells (and maybe something similar for other skills) even though they seem to do normal damage.

Mine crab - any chance there could be better support? Even if it just colored the options that were less than 30 expected damage that would be an improvement. Thank you.

Related, but off topic, is there a way to make a CCS that uses double handed funk slinging to use either two of the same item or two different items? My attempt to make a mine crab entry that used plot holes failed because it only use one at a time and ran into the round limit.
 
My WHAM CCS section for the mine crabs is this:
Code: 
[ mine crab ]
special action
stun
item Miniborg Destroy-O-Bot, Miniborg Destroy-O-Bot

I've tried. Believe me I've tried. But all attempts at special code for the crab failed for unknown reasons (I have a multi who, whem I had time to play, was underwater most of the time). If someone can come up with a foid way of actually getting the desfroyobots to work (I believe that's what I resorted to as well) or code to actually pick one of the ones that work that'd be very appreciated :)

Another froyobot is the new Barrelmech.
 
Not sure if this is a WHAM issue or a snowman issue, but WHAM seems to be having trouble with X-32-F Snowman in the Snojo in build 16590.
For several combats it would "Running SmartStasis" then abort.
So i ran a different CSS for a bit, then ran WHAM in Dread with no issue. I went back to the Snojo, and it lost while trying to 1-shot the snowman (about 20ish advs tall at that point.)
 
I've had the same issue there. On verbosity 9:

I couldn't say what the issue is, but hopefully someone else can.

EDIT: Curiously, I had the same trouble in the deep machine tunnels during one of my free fights there. Two perfectly fine fights, and then:

1 MP costs 4.13μ. ( 536 / 536 )

Today's change to Batman broke WHAM. To unbreak it edit WHAM.ash and change the word "turncount" to "cid" on two lines: 374 and 1361
