ZLib -- Zarqon's useful function library

What does is_unrestricted do? It's not on the ASH wiki.

Am I correct in assuming that this function could basically replace be_good()? Or is there something be_good() does that is_unrestricted doesn't check?
 
is_unrestricted() only checks type69 limitations if you are in the current challenge path, and trendy limitations if you are in that path.
 
Thanks lost. r22 checks is_unrestricted() at the end of be_good(). Also thanks Theraze for suggesting the improvement.

thanks for any insight.
 
What is your CCS? Could you try it with a higher verbosity to see if you get more printout regarding what was passed to modifier_eval?
 
Hi. I'm also getting this error (while running One-click Wossname):
Expression syntax errors for 'modifier_eval()':
Can't understand dmg*2 (zlib.ash, line 186)

Here is my CCS (made a blank one for testing):

[ default ]
consult SmartStasis.ash
special action
attack with weapon


Here is the output of svn update:

Mafia v16.4 build r14830.

Any suggestions what I should do?
 
What familiar are you using? I seem to recall there are some scripts that don't work well with something - mosquito? - and the symptom is an unrecognized modifier. When it was last discussed my recollection is that there were pretty compelling reasons why it was unlikely to be fixed, but then I remember things that did not happen.
 
That's a BatBrain bug that has been reported periodically. However, I figured it out today and fixed it.

EDIT: r23 Update splits be_good() into four versions: familiar, skill, item, and string. Now we can call the correct version of is_trendy() and is_unrestricted() depending on the johnny sent to be_good(). It turns out this definitely matters -- try checking is_trendy($skill[Summon Dice]) vs. is_trendy("Summon Dice") and you'll see what I mean. Also we can tailor our checks a bit better.

Hooray!

(After updating I got the same error, but then I deleted batfactors.txt and restarted Mafia and the error was gone. I was indeed using an Adorable Seal Larva.)

That error is back, and has been for about a week (possibly longer but I was in aftercore). I'm doing a 100% imitation crab run.

This shows up at the end of every page load in combat, twice if I have an autoattack that kills the monster.

Code:
Expression syntax errors for 'modifier_eval()':
Expected ,, found
Unexpected end of expr
Expected ), found (zlib.ash, line 186)

This is when using WHAM. Any ideas?

Someone made a bad entry in batfactors. Bad input isn't a zlib problem. Give more information about what skills you're using, what familiar you have out, any special equipment that might be providing skills or stats, etc...
 
I am receiving the follosing error. I assume it is being called from WHAM, but I know nothing.

Code:

You're on your own, partner.

Looks like a BatBrain issue (called by WHAM) caused by an odd interaction of batfactors and your current equipment. I'm not used to that error. Just to iron out a couple of simple problems, please copy/paste the following three lines into your CLI and copy/paste the response.

  • version
  • svn update
  • wear
 
Well... The only thing in batfactors that use that line is "accordion bash" so if you want to get around it quickly unequip your accordion. THis is however not an optimal solution but in order to debug it further more info is needed such as a run of WHAM with verbosity of 11 or so...
