Can I ask questions here about the ascension script part of kolproxy?

cool, first off, I'm just now getting around (yeah yeah, old habits die hard) to checking out your interface. I'm suitably impressed!

I'm checking it out because several folks talk HIGHLY about your ascension script. So I took a look, perm'd all the skills I could see in it that I needed, added a bunch of passives because I had a lot of surplus karma and ran it. I haven't had it halt looking for a particular skill yet, so I think I have the skills/familiars covered.

Wow, I think I was level 6 in like 30 turns. It stalled out at one point because I was <10 turns shortly thereafter, so I ate some stuff out of inventory and ran it again and it got stuck and wouldn't buy MMJs even though the guild was open. I think I horked something up because I got a tasty tart semi-rare manually during a part where it wouldn't 'go' ... but I fetched the knob outfit manually after that.

I think I found the answer, but my only real question is "how will I know when it's done for the day" and where should I expect it to end up at the end of each day?

I lied ... What should I have done with it stopped around level 6.5 with <10 turns remaining and it hadn't really eaten/drank? It seems fairly robust, I don't think I've put the script too far out (I had to get the KGE manually, but beyond that). Occasionally a combat will abort due to low health, but that's easily fixable and I can resume from it.

Thanks for releasing the tool AND the script, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in this ascension.

Can I ask a more basic question? (I'm going to assume the answer is yes.) I have tried this thing on multi occasions, perused the wiki, and asked around. I still cannot seem to find the ascension script in this thing. Am I missing a button or a feature?

It'll stop and say "TODO: end of day 1. (pvp,) overdrink" after getting liver, and then you chug your bucket of wine and you're done.

About it stopping, that really depends on why it stopped. Can you track down why that happened? What was your fullness/drunkenness/spleen? Meat/hellion cubes?

Have you changed anything in the script? Do you not have pumpkins? Did it run quite low on meat? Was it just really unlucky somehow and didn't get to pick up wine SR or find hellion cubes before running out of turns? It wants to eat 2x hell ramen day 1, mostly with turngen from beer+wines+pixie sticks to get there.

Are you missing VIP key or any meaningful skills? It shouldn't really run low on HP much on day 1 if you have everything.

The setting to enable Eleron's personal ascension script that is (well, was) not suitable for the public at large is invisible. Go to scripts/base/settings-page.lua and remove the -- in front of the "Enable ascension automation" line to make it visible. I think I'll just leave this visible in future versions, since it's probably the most popular part now anyway :p

The first time it stopped (and I was working at the time, so I wasn't paying strict attention) it stopped because I was <10 turns. I think it probably just didn't get to the wine semi in time. I ate/drank some stuff manually and it continued. It stopped because I, at one point, was low on meat.

During the cyrpt, it was stasising with the rogue program/salve, but eventually I'd get lower than 30% hp and the combat macro would quit. I'd just cast stringozzi manually and continue and most of the time it'd go for another 5-7 turns before falling below 30% hp in combat. I was probably just unlucky. I will make sure I have all the passive +HP skills permed.

I have a VIP and what I think are all the relevant skills. Even if it stops a couple of times, I'm very impressed how fast it's going.

I did just discover that I can't easily use dropbox to move from one computer to another (Win7->ubuntu, and vice versa) which is no real big deal, I'll just keep playing on my work laptop.

Ah hah! I didn't know what that button did, so I was loathe to push it! I shall try it out.

--edit, so as not to double post --

It built the staff of fats, but did not unlock the oasis and pyramid. It did absolutely everything else, though, including the chasm and finishing the war. I didn't have enough turns left (10) to complete the lair and get a 4-dayer so I unlocked the oasis manually and then overdrank on a bucket of wine and we'll see what happens tomorrow. Very impressive.

Since it means easy extra karma, I decided to finally try KoLProxy. Seems I'm having a little trouble getting started:

Well, that's network IO issues.

Is your internet unstable? I'm not really sure there's much kolproxy can do about it, unless it's triggering some sort of bug. There's trying again and hoping you don't get more connection problems.

(I suppose the ascension script could possibly be hacked to just try again on connection errors, but you have a page that's known to not have loaded correctly and that's not great.)

Nope, no unusual issues lately. I'll give it another try when I get home.

Last bit it was doing was trying to get liver, get encryption key, yray harem girl, get RnR, kill the goblin king, and then, get worthless items.

Eating/drinking isn't entirely automated in fist (yet), so yeah, you might have to help it out. Just get some more turns from booze (or spleen) to reach Hell ramen without eating, and drink to 19 at the end of the day.

EDIT: I changed it to display errors differently depending on severity, so it's not so big and red and scary. Most ascension script stops are easy enough to fix and then you can just click the link again to continue automating.

big_mara · Post by **big_mara** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:03 am

When it is telling me my myst or muscle is too low is it trying to do the DD or something? It has paused the last two days until I buff those. It seems odd that it can't cast mojo or power ballad on its own since it doesn't run three AT buffs most of the time. Also, does the script usually end days with more than 153 turns banked?

EDIT: lol. just hit level 10 and now the script wants to use Stringozzi Serpent. I have around 140 skills permed and that's one of the few I don't have >.> Is there a list of skills I need that I'm missing? I looked through the documentation already.

Post by **Eleron** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 8:26 am

Yeah, it says something like "DD: Too low muscle" doesn't it? I'll see about getting it to cast songs to buff those when needed soon.

Script documentation has been started at http://www.houeland.com/kolproxy/wiki/A ... automation

Also, stringozzi is the best combat skill, get it already! =)

(You can change serpent_action() in scripts/automation/macros.lua to something else, but nothing's really as good as stringozzi!)

Emanon · Post by **Emanon** » Wed Sep 21, 2011 5:43 pm

Finally got the last 3 skills I needed to use the automation. Very impressed! After a few weeks of having to pay attention to my runs, the 30 minutes this took to do day one was an awesome change. I might even be able to do my homework now!

Thanks a bunch Eleron.

Buffing myself isn't a problem. It's mostly a concern because I can't see what the script is doing so I've been giving it 10 or so minutes to run. Thanks for the link. Stringozzi is the only one I don't have (I'll argue with you abou it being the best combat skill at your convenience). Otherwise, the script worked amazingly days 1 and 2. I look forward to further exploring the magic that is your thing.

HC Fist day 4. It did the daily visits and then immediately gives the following red text:

Line 912 looks like it is checking for an RR legend and turtle totem (which I have)

Also, am I supposed to be doing the oasis/pyramid manually? In my otherwise flawless fist run, I had to do the oasis and pyramid manually.

Huh. That happened to me too. I thought I muffed up something with the day-count. I ended up doing it manually after hitting lvl 13 and finishing the war. Same for DoD potions - though that could be for teleportation tek.

Post by **Eleron** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 6:59 pm

There was an issue where it would skip oasis/desert if it didn't finish it on day 3. DoD potions just aren't automated yet. But, go test out the scary new 2.20a-testing, with some improvements and lots of hidden infrastructural changes >.<

I love seeing the full skill list up. I'm curious about the "required" familiars. I'm hoping if you don't have one/some, then Proxy can still function? I mean, aside from the basic fams. My concerns are the grinder, boots, and hatrack, because those are the ones I lack (and have no desire to buy).

Assuming the script YRs a mariachi, I can see hatracklack being a large change.

Yeah, from the couple of runs I've done so far, heavy heavy hatrack use. You could probably grep through for hatrack and substitute your favorite fairy, if you wanted too.

That probably means it didn't eat on day 3? Just eat up (to 30) and continue :)

FufuBunnySlayer wrote:Find&Replace function with hound dog for hatrack ya mean?

You could just change what "switch to hatrack" means, but I don't think I'd run the fist script without a hatrack. It's pretty significant to have a sombrero, and the script is tuned to use it. HCNP automation doesn't use the hatrack at all though, so maybe you should try that?

I guess you could still just run fist without a hatrack though, and probably finish in 5-6 days, which is still good =)

FufuBunnySlayer · Post by **FufuBunnySlayer** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 9:26 pm

HCNP is what I'm gunning for. I still need to hardperm 5 skills and update another 3, but it's good to know that the hatrack is not necessary!

Grinder/Boots for HCNP?

Fewer skills are needed for Fist and there's more karma, but yeah HCNP is even less hassle to run if you have everything.

Just change grinder familiarid to rogue program's instead. For the boots, probably easiest to remove the code for doing runaways in the spooky forest and just eat the couple of extra turns.

Not very well yet :P

It doesn't know how to get spleen, and there's no he-boulder.

I'm a PM with Astral Pilsner and Astral Shirt.

I just finished day-3. Eleron has been helping me move past some of the limitations in the script that I've found. Otherwise, things look pretty good.

NardoLoopa · Post by **NardoLoopa** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 12:07 am

Well, the script fell short of a 4-day HC-Trendy. Mostly this is due to not utilizing spleen at all. I ended at the lair (not having all items, which is normal for the script) after doing some manual spleening and using borrowed time. Before that it ended with 90% of the WAR finished.

A few remaining bugs:
- It tries to get Mental Acuity for Ed
- For some reason it fails to fight the WAR boss, returning an error in the first round of combat.
- many of the combats stopped the script because it ran out of MP and didn't use Cannon to finish off the mob.
- doesn't use yellow-ray from unbearable light, so you need to do that yourself.

Otherwise, things look pretty good.

I've had this happen the last few runs. Additionally, I've had to manually flyer for about 20 turns to finish that side zone.

I'm on day 2 of a trendy run (AT, pilsners, shirt) and aside from not getting any spleen on day 1 (which I did manually) the only big problem was continually running out of MP to buff and run combats. I don't know that that's a script issue, probably more like a lack-of-good-stuff issue.

Day 2, had far fewer MP problems (I did notice that it didn't get the dispensary password on it's own) and I had to unbearable light a dwarf miner manually (which was expected) but it did drink a dozen or so imported beer instead of stopping and prompting me to mix cocktails. I think it does this in no-path, too. Day 2 completed without any real major issues.

I think there's probably a lot of room for stomping stuff into spleeny-goodness. On day 1, I did a little manual meatfarming to buy MP and I used the boots to pretty quickly get 3 pastes in the treasury.

Looks like you got a connection timeout.

Post by **Eleron** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 6:18 am

Yep, that's a connection error. I want to make those errors more specific and understandable, but the problem was on your network. (As people have gotten used to, anything saying MVar is due to stuff timing out, but you're not supposed to have to learn that :P)

I grabbed the version you just spun. Day 4 of the automation script has failed (and I confess, I didn't snag the error) when it was trying to decypher the hidden city wines. I had to run that manually.

The next place it stopped was the stupid 'tile' game in the hidden temple. I got this error during the script AND hitting the {solve puzzle} link at the bottom of the puzzle.

Seems like dance cards are being believed to fire on turn 3 instead of 4 turns later? I had to adventure manually once in the ballroom every time a dance card counter came up.

Aha, I think I know what you mean. It's that the ascension script stops and says "Didn't find rotting matilda on dance card turn" on the dance card turn instead of actually going there?

That was caused by work on getting adventure warnings to trigger while auto-adventuring, and it actually got an "Are you sure?" warning page instead of Rotting Matilda, because the ballroom zone check only worked right for manual adventuring. Fixed.

V2.30a: HCNP Trendy PM
- Day1: Still very low on meat around the Friar's. Likely due to the cost of running Empathy.
- Day1: Also, ran low on adventures after getting the Steel Liver so had to end the day manually -- not sure what else was on the agenda, but my spleen was empty (note: spleen use was fine on days 2-3 so far).

V2.30b:
- Day3: Tried to yellow ray a hippy before completing the shore (only 2 shore trips)

Code: Select all

Otherwise, things look pretty good (Day3 complete).

following nardo's HC PM Trendy run, I tried one (I'm now on my second run)

I think the script, should, in general, snag the free 1000 meat from the guild for starting the nemesis quest. I found that this meat, combined with friar quest non-combats was usually enough to get me through day 1.

3.0 looks pretty good -- I'm just completing my second HCTrendy as a PM. No major issues.

Does it require a groose for trendy spleen?

Currently only uses boots for spleen in trendy, and isn't very good at it on day 1 either :P

I'll get groose to at least be supported soon though, having one donated from Twillo and all :)

Ah, okay. It didn't fill spleen on D1 and I thought that was because I lacked a groose.

I believe it uses the boots for spleen as an afterthought to everything else it is doing. It's the last thing it does before prepping for rollover. So, this only works out if you have enough adventures after everything else on Day-1. Moving the boots up into the Friars' would probably be a good idea.

Eleron, I'm trying an HCNP as DB. On day-1 I'm running into MP problems.

Manual intervention required: Failed to reach 20 MP using galaktik

It would be nice if the script told me what it needed 20MP for. Even better, if I could tell it to skip it. So "Need 20MP for Empathy[x], and Leash[x]", where you can remove the Xs and continue in a sub-optimal way.

Or even better better: "Trying to find 3/5 bus passes. Need 20MP for Empathy[x] and Leash[x]"

Hmm, maybe it does something like the better+better. "Tried to perform: get dispensary password". Also, it's trying to buy Knob Seltzer before killing the king. And before getting the dispensary password.

First off thanks for making this! I've always thought about how doing something like this but unfortunately I have almost zero scripting knowledge but as uni is about to start again I thought I might try this script out to actually give me some time to study and i've got a few questions, first do I need any certain tomes or librams to use this? Also I'm lacking a couple of familiars ( Organ Grinder BBB and Hound dog) How important are these to hitting 4 day HCNP runs and do I just need to cough up and just buy them or is there some way I can work around that? Thanks again

Emanon · Post by **Emanon** » Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:45 am

Is there a way to stop the ascension script while it's running? Sometimes I like to check how far along it is or pull out my groose for use on day one, but I don't know of an easy way to do this. I usually just quit and reload proxy.

Also, has anyone gotten faster than 4/883 Trendy? I think I might've had some great RNG because most of the other runs I've seen have been mid-900s

I wonder how it does without a fax machine. Maybe I'll do no-path again.

The most recent version has been working almost flawlessly. Doing hcnp sauce runs I have noticed that it routinely stops 3-4 times for meat/mp day 1, but otherwise it has been running well.

For some reason, the newest version keeps kicking me out saying it has a problem with casting Entangling Noodles. Not sure why. I am HCNP PM and, yes, I do have Noodles permed.

Any thoughts?

Moved this to the ascension script thread.

There's a bug in scripts/automation/macros.lua noodles_action(), where it just says "Entangling Noodles" instead of "cast Entangling Noodles". You can go in and fix it, and it'll be fixed in the next release. (As well as the SCBoris update to handle the server changing how 0 available Boris skills are displayed.)

Dread Knight · Post by **Dread Knight** » Sun Feb 26, 2012 8:00 pm

For SC Boris automated ascensions...

I pulled a jek belt on Day 1. Does KOLProxy recognize and use the jek when it needs item drops? Should I be pulling a Mr. A jr. instead or nothing at all?

Also, I took the astral shirt and went Moxie Sign. It seems to be leaving the shirt equipped which is good. If I were to take the belt though, would it actually use the belt or would it keep equipping the plastic vampire fangs instead? Currently it seems to like to equip the Juju mask, LL Necktie and vampire fangs for accessories. I just don't want to waste pulls/astral stuff if it's not going to be used.

Thanks.
