Bug - Not A Bug Bad monster value: ""

It seems that for the new Crimbo monsters, the value being passed to a consult script for unknown monsters is "" because I'm getting the following error:

Code: 
Round 0: Bale wins initiative!
Bad monster value: ""
Bad monster value: ""

I am playing in the relay browser. That's what happens when I click the "script" button.

It might be better if the script got $monster[none] since that would at least not give an error message.
 
I thought an unkown monster created a shortlived override just for that case. I've not had any trouble with other unkown monsters since that change was done a while back. It appears that for some reason this is not working for these lollipop-monsters.
 
Hmm... My spamattack and smartstasis does not appear to have had any trouble, granted I did my fight from the CLI (since I still can't access the relay browser from work).

Code: 
Encounter: lolligator
Round 0: winterbay wins initiative!

> fight!

You have the latest pluralMonsters.txt. Will not check again today.
Updating batfactors.txt from '2011-11-27T13:05:41-06:00' to '2011-11-30T04:30:21-06:00'...
...batfactors.txt updated.

(fight! is an alias that basically loops run_combat() until the fight is over)
 
Does this only happen for consult scripts?
if you have a [lollipop] section in your CCS, without a consult script, does it work?
 
Now I olfacted the monster again (same one, also in the relay browser) and mafia picked it up. Same mafia session even.
 
I started an adventure manually, and use the "script" button from the Relay Browser with the following CCS:
Code: 
[ default ]
consult test.ash
where test.ash is:
PHP: 
void main( int rnd, monster mob, string page )
{
	print( "Monster: " + mob );
	abort();
}
And I didn't get any error:
Code: 
Encounter: lolligator
Round 0: slyz wins initiative!
Monster: lolligator

Maybe something was fixed in KoL's HTML in the mean time?

I was using a consult script, not a CSS. The two things work slightly differently. (This is most notable in Farnswarthy's Basement, where a CSS can identify the monsters, but a consult script cannot.)
 
How did you use a consult script if not via a CCS? What slyz did was call a very simple consult script from his CCS which is the only way I know to do it...
 
Never mind. Of course that was right. If that test was before KoLmafia added the monsters, then something must have been wrong with KoL's html...

I guess the bug was a weird fluke.
 
I cannot replicate this bug with the lolliphaunt (which was not added to my currently running KoLmafia), so it is safe to say that there is no bug.
