tgg: I *think* your problem is specific to pies - a bug in the special case pie code that never reported an error if you failed to create a pie. Here's a new version with a fix for the pie situation and more debug around the broken pricing thing just in case that bug's still not dead. More...

aqua: very interesting! I've long suspected that string manipulations were "expensive" (mafia devs have mentioned as much) and might be responsible for the slowdown, but that's a fascinating experiment. If anyone's got a brief primer on buffers I'll take a look at converting it.

Yes. eatdrink_valueOfAdventure existed before the equivalent setting was added as a "standard" mafia configuration. It may still be around on your system, but if so, you can and should safely delete it and just use valueOfAdventure instead. tgetgel, I can't see enough from your excerpt to...

Here's a new build that *should* fix the problem - let me know if it works.

Nice troubleshooting aqua! That's similar to what I've seen, although with me, mafia gets out of it eventually. At the end of the day this is probably a mafia 'bug' (or limitation).

Yes. The problem is that after you fail to buy something, you should recalculate assuming a higher price. It's the "brokenprice" structure that remembers this price. I suspect that part isn't working right. Since your adventure setting is 500, jello and cruelty-free wine seems reasonable...

Next time you use it (assuming it doesn't loop), please post the summary here. Even if it doesn't have you drink jello shots I can probably figure out if there's an issue. I suspect you might have a higher value on stats than I usually do, in which case it's acting properly though.

Damn. Yes, I'm seeing it too. I wish it was easier to repro. Why was it recommending jell-o shots? THere was an old bug that made them look more attractive than they should, but that's long gone in current builds. Are you in ronin and have some available, or something?

FWIW, 3 instances of mafia (versus the existing 2) would be superfabulous. It's not uncommon that I'm running tests on my 2 multis while adventuring with my main. My scripts tend take a long time to debug. :)

Something I've noticed: as of some mafia builds ago, farm.ash will behave a little differently. Not every line shows up, and it's very slow to respond if you hit the ESC key. I'm not sure when this happened, but it can make it look like farm.ash crashed. It takes about 2 min to run (may vary...

It's how much you're willing to pay for one adventure, which should be at least the amount you could make using that adventure to farm. It basically maximizes this number: (adventures * value of adventure) - cost for each item you consume.

Aqua - that's awesome! I'm PMing you a small thank you. I haven't tried it yet (not ascending at the moment) but I will as soon as I have a chance.

I think I fixed the problem with infinite looping on "broken" prices - it's hard to reproduce the problem, though, so please let me know if this works for you. If so, I'll update the main posting.

Tragically no. Believe me I did try. :)

braska - it actually does, in most cases - which ones are you talking about?

If it happens again, see if running the command directly causes the error.

Odd. What command is generating the error? "maximize item drop" or similar?

Um... perhaps you're out of adventures? If not, it sounds like a Macguffin problem, not an ascend.ash problem.

Right. In everyone's quest log except my main's. (I realize I confusingly referenced the quest by it's other name in the first post, but either way - it's not there).

One of my scripts (ascend) started behaving oddly, and I found the problem: my main, dj_d, no longer has the "azazel, ma belle" entry in his questlog. He's level 42 and still has a liver of steel (he got it in 2004 :) ), and my multies still have their entry, but for some reason it's missing on...
