New Content Archaeologist's Spade

[Ryo_Sangnoir]

Most of this is already in, but we want once / day prefs for:
* toiletries kit
* neti pot
* gnawing bone
* fleek mascara
and campground once / day prefs for
* pork elf medicine cabinet
* pork elf sink
* pork elf toilet
and:
* consumable stats
* tracker for hoverboard
* tracker for fitness steps

It would be nice if there was a way to identify that the skeleton you get from 'Dig up a skeleton' is from the Spade and therefore a free fight.

Do we have a way to use the Spade via gCLI?

"use archaeologist's spade"

It's a normal choice adventure with fixed order. Just use the standard features.

The spade has been a bit of a manual chore, so having the daily preferences tracked for things like the toiletries kit and the campground items is a huge quality-of-life improvement. For anyone wondering about automation, it looks like standard choice adventure handling works fine for now since the order is fixed.

Maybe I'm dumb, but I can't figure out how to use "ranked" choice adventure preferences. I used the gCLI to:

set choiceAdventure1596 = 2

Then, I type:

use arch spade

And I get this:

> use arch spade

Is there any way to tell Mafia that my choice is 2 until I've used all my digs, and then switch the choice to 4?

You can do that with a choiceAdventureScript, like the one I posted in another thread.

It took me a minute to figure out how to do a choiceAdventureScript, but it works perfectly. Thanks, @adeyke!

I posted this in the other thread but decided repetition was more useful than merging threads.

I did not like using a choice adventure script for this because I did not want to edit my current script nor create some kind of container that managed the spade or called the current script.

    while ( get_property("_archSpadeDigs").to_int() < 11 ) {
        string url = "inv_use.php?&which=3&whichitem=12184";
        string ignore = visit_url(url);
        run_choice(2);
        run_choice(4);
    }

The above snippet works for me, so far. It is part of my script for managing the spade that will eventually be part of my login or logout process.

I used a while loop because I just wanted to dig everything, but I have tested it where I only wanted to dig once, and that worked. I can imagine a case where a post adventure script checks to see whether the last location has desirable drops or skeletons and uses a variation on this to dig once.

I can imagine an optimization where the number of digs is a parameter and the code only does run_choice(4) on the last dig but that doesn't really benefit me at the moment so laziness wins.
