Alliance From Hell

Since people like reading ancient threads instead of anything in-game, send a kmail to bmaher with "whitelist bafh" to get a whitelist. Don't be creative with the message, because if my script doesn't handle it then I will ignore it.

boozedup wrote:Is there a simpler way to detect if an item is equipment or not?

to_slot( it ) != $slot[none].

In this context, since familiar equipment is treated the same as non-equipment:

Code: Select all

to_slot( it ) != $slot[none] && to_slot( it ) != $slot[familiar]

Edit: Oh, and the wiki is wrong about what it takes to get the bat-oomerang. I won't edit that since I don't know the actual requirement myself, but you don't have to defeat the jokester. In fact, you don't have to defeat any bosses, so it doesn't even require you to consume a comic. I'm pretty sur...

The NS takes only 1 turn now? That's wasn't how it used to work. Probably got changed during the NS Tower revamp. It has worked that way since I started playing in 2006 at least. Some challenge paths have a different end boss after the NS1 fight, and as a result take more than 1 turn total. 6. Summ...

The server is hosted in a completely different location now, so Comcast's stupid routing issues were probably resolved by that.

For what it's worth, I often can't connect to KoL using Comcast at work (and my work place doesn't filter out sites). My connection at home (also Comcast, like 5 miles away) doesn't have that issue. If we didn't have government enforced monopolies for internet service, I would suggest ditching Comca...

Do things work if you connect directly to http://69.16.150.211/ ? Mafia has an option on the Connection tab to Use IP address, though I think you need to check that every time.

Turtle wax is not part of the 3-item fold group, because you can't get back to it. There's always use() for the turtle wax instead of visit_url().

cheesecookie wrote:I did an update to not utensil twist against physical resist monsters but I don't know if utensil twist is still suitable otherwise.

Utensil Twist would likely be around 15 damage per round, before adjusting for +ML reduction. Using that is like using Toss as a TT.

#> Turn [0] pulled 1 Snow Suit #> Turn [0] pulled 1 Hand in Glove Are these pulls really saving any turns? Familiar weight isn't helping too much without free runaways, and you should be able to manage 0 powerleveling turns without the extra +ML. The fish hybrid falls into the same category, though...

You have a 30% chance of getting the 7th insult each combat (25% chance of no insult, ones you already got have a 50% rejection chance), so that's 3.3 combats. If you don't have 100% combat rate, then add turns accordingly.

Add 2 or 3 turns to the black forest count because a beehive was picked up. (It's +2 turns, but there's a chance that it results in seeing another noncombat.) I would suggest pulling shore scrip day 1 for 3 turns saved each. To make room for that, you can push back ninja items to day 2. Tomb ratchet...

So you need to spam power pills instead of tattered scraps post-ronin?

This thread isn't going anywhere...

People that are interested can find info about this script on the mafia forum.

Also, just a note, but I submitted a report of my past run. I don't think it counts as abuse, but I wanted to make sure TPTB were aware of this somewhat degenerate run. I'm personally looking forward to a 52 day turtlecore run and it'll be a nice mini-hiatus from speed ascending, but I'd also under...

On the latest radio show, Jick said that he isn't sure how he wrote it, but he would probably have made it a weighted rounding if you are between two thresholds.

You can use since to have the script tell people they need a specific mafia version when it aborts rather than giving a more vague message that just looks like the script might be broken.

My main question is, how did you go about doing the war quest? I was confused as to how you accessed the orchard, did you just fight your way through? Or complete it as a hippy? With no outfit on, you can work on the quest at any time. You can't actually turn the quest in until you fight through th...

Rather than linking to each specific binary, I changed the link in the first post to point to the releases page, which will always have the latest binary. I also stickied this thread and unstickied the old one.

Mafia shouldn't ever log your password hash, I'll look into that.

Well, I'd like to have the trophies... but what about other limited time content that people might or might not have missed? What makes these special? I'd like to get the snow outfit that you can trick or treat for snowballs in, when that happened I didn't care about tattoos. No pants is special be...

Jick basically told everyone that these trophies are coming back in the February 12 radio show (20:07 in). I kind of wish the no-pants trophy wasn't a thing, I kind of wish we hadn't put in that trophy for reindeer. But who knows, maybe those will come back next Crimbo. You never know, you just neve...

I also pull a chef-in-the-box. I need to cook 3 things in this run: Knob Cake, Unstable Fulminate, and wet stunt nut stew. So, this pull saves 3 turns which is nice. Cooking wet stunt nut stew doesn't take a turn. Mask + Drum machine for Oasis. I always go with scrip (for the compass) plus a killin...

Farmed a stone wool and an eyepatch, which is probably a bad carryover from my HC habits. Even in HC that should be a semirare. Get ML over 100, put on the +combat gear and see how many tangles we can generate. Did you drink a sockdollager for that? If you get +20 in all four elements, you should a...

#> Turn [169] pulled 1 eyepatch Since you pulled the whole outfit, pulling a clockwork pirate skull day 1 and getting a free clockwork maid is probably a good idea, for 16 free turngen. Ore and ninja items for level 8 can be pushed to day 2 if needed. Spent about 3 or 4 turns getting the other miss...

Moved the log into the message body instead of being attached.

There are two untradeable (and useless, you can click the use link but it wouldn't gain you anything to do so) schematics from talking to the elves at their camp, if you want some more stuff for your inventory or DC. I think you have to click a lot to see the message for each day, not really sure? E...

A small note, you don't actually need a main() function in scripts. It doesn't hurt anything and generally doesn't matter either way, it just uses a few more lines of code.

That seems like it might eventually catch a message you care about. (My saved messages include a message from The Council of Loathing and Mother Goose. I think adding a check of fromWhom.message.contains_text( "something" ) would be good, but I don't know the contents of those kmails.

Storm Dragon wrote:I didn't know the clockwork pirate skull trick

In no-path runs (or older paths in general) it's a ninja pirate zombie robot head instead. It's a large up-front meat cost, but it gives you something extra to smash or autosell with the pull.

I plan to stream a 2 day softcore Heavy Rains ascension this weekend. Start times will be noon eastern (11.5 hours before rollover, use /rollover to figure it out if needed) on Saturday and 3pm eastern on Sunday.

It will be at twitch.tv/lostcalpolydude for those interested in watching.

That's why I have a script that automatically visits the guild to start the run, along with other things.

The single biggest thing you can do to speed up your run is learning to handle more +ML so you can avoid powerleveling completely. You have roughly 20 unnecessary turns in the bathroom for powerleveling, you did the tavern earlier because you were low on stats, and ideally you would be able to skip ...

reverkiller wrote:Could you compile your pull list in a way that makes it easy to see what you pulled?

It's all listed in the additional info bit, though that doesn't show which stuff was pulled day 1 versus day 2.

Looks like http://pastebin.com/u/kolpastebin is the place to go instead of kolspading now. The wiki still thinks those are superlikelies.

As soon as I have the 3 necessary items for the giants, I change to my +stats gear. If you have an amulet of extreme plot significance, the titanium assault umbrella doesn't help at all. I need one or the other. It is a 50/50 chance depending on which non-combat comes first, isn't it? Some of the n...

Notable IOTMs that I don't have and would probably help cutting turns: Order of Green Thumb It's slightly helpful, but not worth more than a few turns. Artistic Goth Kid Yes, this one is a pretty big deal. Boris' Helm Only if you need to powerlevel. Seeing how your run went, I don't think it would ...

Goblin quest - I wasn't sure which actually ended up being faster. I usually run out of things to spend my semi-rares on so I get KGE out of habit at some point. This is another thing I should probably plan out as well. What do you guys think is faster, KGE + cake for king and pet buffing spray. Or...

Why do you pull an antique accordion? Because I want to Buff on turn 0, and I have found myself super low on meat until day 2ish. Also because these are meant to be lazy consistent runs to counter act burn out rather than bleeding edge runs going for moon or gold. So quality of life. Also also I tr...

Since you can farm part of the war hippy outfit while starting the war, I think you're pulling the wrong war outfit. There are enough spare pulls that it doesn't really matter, of course (I pulled all of the tower combat items in my latest run, just because I could).

Missing from your list of Rain Man targets is a quantum mechanic. Make sure you can avoid or remove teleportitis before fighting it.

Also missing is an orcish frat boy spy, to yellow ray for the war outfit.

I go for -combat in the tavern since the pyramid revamp. With the sockdollager you can skip all noncombats you get, and the 14(?) turns to open the control room means I have always had enough wheels and ratchets, even with only 1 tangle. If you can get 20 of all elements, there is absolutely no rea...

Hi blackcat and Quintis.

You can drop if (page_text.contains_text("choice.php")) { visit_url("choice.php?pwd&whichchoice=974&option=2"); } by entering "set choiceAdventure974 = 2" in the CLI. You don't need to wait for mafia to support a choice adventure. That also means you don't need to store the adventure result in a str...

There's no need to import zlib, since you aren't using anything from it.

Multiple scripts for that are also here, and none of them require zlib. historical_price() is generally good enough for this purpose, since sudden price fluctuations shouldn't be a big deal.

I've seen people looking to whitelist into a clan with a known purple code, so that they could figure out what position their own purple numbers were - maybe we could "publish" the bafh password in a clan announcement there? It's on the in-game clan forum there. Maybe that isn't good enough because...

I got A from resting.

Oh, and 5. Has anyone done the math on whether it's faster to look for a hobo in the Pantry with +NC or the Alley? (I presume with free runaways, the answer is the alley, but assume it's S&S and I don't have any on D1.) Ignoring the math over which is better, saying that free runaway turns don't co...

KoL doesn't update the zone in the charpane when you adventure there.

There is no difference between a floor and delay(), the latter was used because it was a random floor.

Free runaways can help after delay is burned (the presence of delay has no effect on the usefulness of free runaways), but goth fights are useless then (except for stats). So as long as there is somewhere to use your free runaways, working on getting goth kid fights during delay should be better.
