Bug - Fixed You're on your own, partner.

That is... odd. WHAM should've been printing your meat per hp and mp as well as the monsters stats and what round it thought it was on. That it prints nothing indicates to me that it actually never fot started despite having been called by Mafia.

Veracity: would that be possible?
 
What I personally do not understand about this whole endless loop shenanigans: It may well be not KoLmafia's fault that an infinite loop comes into existence. But why does KoLmafia not simpy cease executing a script gone wild when I manually request it to do so? I can press "stop now" or press Escape - KoLmafia does not react to the user's request in the case that we have seen here. The root cause of this happening may well be some script's fault, or a weird interaction between two scripts. Still, the user must have the option to stop an ongoing operation. And if there is a designated operating element to do so, whether a button in the GUI or as a keystroke, then this simply must work under any conditions, no matter what. I believe there can be no disagreement on this.

Code: 
if (user.requests_abort() == true)
    stop_whatever_on_earth_we_are_currently_doing();

:)

Yes. KoLmafia shouldn't be able to get into this sort of infinite loop in the first place. ;)
 
Just as a quick sidenote, loading up the page in the relay browser DOES make the infinite loop stop.

Anyways, when I had this happen today, I did log the attempted automation. Here's a bit of logs that seem to show mafia doing... nothing?

There was the same displayed gCLI "You're on your own partner" for several thousand lines completely pushing everything above off my screen, but that's my session log.
 
This bug has nothing to do with WHAM. My CCS:

Escape would not quit the seemingly infinite loop.
 
Darzil, may I ask why you closed this thread without comment or changing the tag? Was that a misclick?
 
Ha! And he was fast too. I went to edit my post right after submitting it and it was locked. I thought, oh boy, I'm in trouble!
 
Well, I created a completely vanilla installation of Mafia, and it's still failing, so it's definitely not any of the various scripts you have installed.
 
I'm actually going to be there first thing tomorrow; I've gotten 3 stone triangles and on my last turn of the day, I got my 5th bowling ball.

Looking at your log, I see:

Code:

And so on. The only thing I need to do to reproduce this is to set the choice adventure to go fight.

> set choiceAdventure791=1

I don't see anything else that I need you to do. Thanks.
 
Lots of tedious stepping through code in Eclipse revealed the issue.

The choice adventure that is the temple is named "Legend of the Temple in the Hidden City"
For some reason, that encounter is marked as an auto stop.

I find that peculiar. It means that if you are automating in that location, after you see that encounter, you want KoLmafia to stop going there. Well, OK; no matter which choice you take, either leaving without going in, or fighting, there is no point in repeatedly going back after having taken either choice.

Autostops set KoLmafia's state to PENDING.

When you automate a fight and something that happens that should stop automation at the end of the fight - a piece of equipment breaks, for example - that will also set the state to PENDING.

Therefore, when automating multiple rounds of a fight, if the state is PENDING, it continues automating.

Now, setting the state to ABORT should stop the fight right now. But, the code to set KoLmafia's state will not change the state if it is PENDING - even for an ABORT. I think that's the bug.

I just ran away from the Protector Spectre, so I should be able to reproduce this again.
