    Sugar shield using

    Er... "equip sugar shield"? I think you want a way to have mafia auto-equip a sugar shield when the previous one breaks, though, which is not a cli command. The "Choice Adventures" tab has both a "Zone" subtab (which you're probably used to seeing" and an "Item" subtab. Go to the Item subtab...

    zapgroups.txt

    Would it be possible to load the map as one string per line, then parse out the items?

    ZLib -- Zarqon's useful function library

    Since we're talking about mcd-ness... I've noticed that on a couple of unascended characters which I play occasionally, the mcd tries to adjust before every turn. (I guess this should really go in the BBB thread, since that's probably the culprit, but...) Of course, there is no possible mcd to...

    Wiki Updates (masochism?)

    Hurrah, progress! Just want to apologize a bit -- my long post on page 4 or so looks like it's ignoring several points made before it... because I hadn't read them yet. Oops. Sorry about that. Which is to say: - Zarqon's outline of wikiness looks very nice as a high-level thing - StDoodle...

    Irc

    On the one hand, the possibility of instant feedback and help and discussion is tempting. On the other hand, one of the things I like about the forums is that person X can answer a question for person Y, and I can come in six months later, do a search, and learn that same answer. Or I can lurk...

    Wiki Updates (masochism?)

    This is a wonderful goal! As far as making things easy to add / making the wiki useful to an ash/cli newcomer, there's an additional component. We're discussing functions here, and having a more useful function reference is certainly a goal in itself. But the so-far-unmentioned elephant in...

    Wiki Updates (masochism?)

    Wait, I knew zarqon was pretty darn awesome, but he can see the future too? Someday, I imagine him thinking to himself (in italics, of course), someone will create the item_amount() page, and I will want to find it by searching for "item amount". Better make the redirect now! That's it. I...

    Wiki Updates (masochism?)

    At least for me, there's a little tag under the title when I search for "item amount" and land on the "item_amount()" page -- "(Redirected from Item amount)". One way to get nice search behavior is to have a lot of redirects. Another is to name pages with titles more likely to be searched for...

    Wiki Updates (masochism?)

    I'm with Bale here. Anyone willing to do the work should be given a lot of leeway. Moreover, the consideration that page titles should work well with search is an important one, and while I would write about function "foo()", I would probably search for "foo". Ease may be a great deal better...

    Wiki Updates (masochism?)

    Do it! Do it! I add things here-and-there on the wiki as I learn about them and have time to attempt to articulate what I've learned, and have come to recognize that it is rather a mess, but I don't know anything about its larger organization. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about...

    EatDrink.ash: Optimize your daily diet (and see how your old diet stacks up).

    You'll have to actually change the code so it knows about the extra chocolates. See the comment "//choose cheaper of evil-or-not" in sim_choc()? Well, you want to choose the cheaper of fancy, evil fancy, the car, and all the nemesis trick-or-treats. So you'll have to make the if statement...

    EatDrink.ash: Optimize your daily diet (and see how your old diet stacks up).

    It does not. The script is hard-coded to consider those chocolates that it does consider. (It doesn't consider the cars from this Crimbo, either.) If you want to check out the code, it's in a function called sim_choc(). Recall that vitachoconutriment capsules have a different countdown than...

    Some general questions - file_to_map() and other.

    Huh. I thought I added plural typed constants somewhere on the wiki a while ago... yeah, I did. But if you didn't know you were looking for them, I guess you wouldn't really know to do so, and they are sorta hidden down at the bottom of the Datatype Constants page.

    Some general questions - file_to_map() and other.

    You don't need to load mallprices.txt yourself. If I recall correctly, that is exactly where the historical_price() function gets its prices. Of course, I may recall incorrectly, in which case someone will correct me soon! historical_price() doesn't actually seem to be on the wiki. It takes...

    Universal Recovery Script

    It kinda cracks me up that Terrabull's problem was the same as my problem after all! (Since my "problem" was just having that box checked too, and didn't really have anything to do with Bad Moon... it just made me investigate Bad Moon aftercore and coincidentally discover weirdness with hot tub...

    MPA Scriptlet

    Well, one solution would be to use the saved-variable idea. Call one script at the beginning of the day which saves meat and turncount (from my_meat() and my_adventures()) to settings or zlib vars, call a different one at the end of the day which reads them, calculates the difference between...

    Universal Recovery Script

    Well, sure, there's no reason to adventure with the hooks. That doesn't mean someone won't do it. Then they suddenly have a hidden enchantment, "Stops Universal Recovery"! This seems unintuitive and thus undesirable. Since UR can't have all the information needed to stop recovery for drum...

    EatDrink.ash: Optimize your daily diet (and see how your old diet stacks up).

    Perhaps the eatdrink_budget preference? (i.e., "zlib eatdrink_budget = whatever") I'm not completely certain that's what it does, but it seems a reasonable guess...

    Universal Recovery Script

    Works perfectly, thanks!
