Winterbay's Helpful Automatic Monsterbasher (WHAM)

I know autoPutty works with photocopied monsters; I have a script that does something similar with a photocopied emebezzler. Are you sure you set autoPutty to "monster clod hopper" and not just "clod hopper" ? I remember running into that issue when I was writing my script.

Yeah it's setup correctly in mafia, because again it's working on spooky putty and black box, just not on photocopied monster. That's what led me to think it's something in wham/batbrain that's not putting the correct precedence on the special mafia putty action, instead just firing a romantic arrow and then 1-hit killing
 
The fun thing about this? Your logs show that apparently it's an issue with Smart Stasis, not WHAM. The good two results process the putty-ing during the Smart Stasis bit. The bad one, Smart Stasis says that it's done and is handing the fight over to the WHAM damage code for destruction.

It doesn't help fix things, but it does suggest that changing WHAM itself won't be able to fix your problem. Probably.
 
Problem: WHAM doesn't seem to understand that attacking with my weapon will do more damage against elemental hobos in Hobopolis than using Sauceror skills. It also won't use my reusable combat items. The end result is that if I use WHAM for these hobos, I get beaten up every time, after about 14 rounds of ineffective combat.
Personal Work-Around: Simply using a CCS that uses love gnats and auto-attack will kill the hobo in 4-7 rounds.
 
With the advent of the DIY protonic accelerator, there's now some interesting nuance when it comes to fighting ghosts. Is there any chance that WHAM will be updated to manage bustin' ghosts?

Can someone make a change so it doesn't auto olfact the hellion or the goth giant?

You can change that yourself. It's actually a SmartStasis feature, not WHAM at all. change it in the CLI like this:

Code: 
zlib BatMan_attract = blooper, dairy goat, zombie waltzers, dirty old lihc, violent fungus

I agree that zarqon should remove hellion and goth giant from the default list of monsters to attract. They just aren't as useful anymore.

It also shouldn't think it a great idea to olfact the zombie waltzer unless the character is a moxie class. Heck, powerleveling just isn't a real thing anymore so zombie waltzer should be removed from the list also.

I've got all monsters removed from mine so that I have more control over my combats.
 
SmartStasis does use autoOlfact in addition to the BatMan_attract var, not just simple combat action situations. I disable BatMan_attract and use autoOlfact exclusively to control how what monsters are olfacted by my batfactor derived consult script.
 
I think it's more of a spading and Batbrain issue than a WHAM issue. I just finished getting the last of the combat skills but it will probably be a while before the spaders can contribute.

Yes. And often it is something that can be added to batfactors.txt by anyone. It doesn't look like a whole lot to spade. One stun and 5 elemental attacks that likely all use the same formula.

EDIT: Looks like there are class skills to spade too.

I'd like the second this request, if it's possible. However, I'm not sure Mafia is able to tell what's a ghost and what isn't, so that might take a feature request. For now, I've been manually shooting/trapping the special ghosts.

WHAM doesn't need mafia to tell it. If shot/trap are available, then it is a ghost.
 
is there a variable in WHAM that I can switch to make sure that it uses the proper abstraction against monsters in the DMT?

You can also just use Bale's ghost busting function in your after adventure script.
