Feature - Implemented Protection for Spookyraven Basement

Automatically read recipe when obtained, putting on Lord Spookyraven's glasses first if you have them (if not in a Boris/Fist run), and restoring previous equipment afterwards.
Warn and ask if you are sure you want to continue in Laundry or Wine Cellar if you haven't obtained and read recipe, if you have Lord Spookyraven's glasses, and haven't started the longer scavenger hunt, and aren't Boris/in a Fist run.
Warn and ask if you are sure you want to continue in Boiler Room if you have fulminate or ingredients for it, but haven't got the fulminate equipped, and aren't Boris/in a Fist run.

All these suggestions should stop wasted turns as the quests advancements don't happen without them happening. We have such warnings and automatic reads for most other similar quest actions.

Hmm, though actually . . .
Warning for adventuring in Poop Deck at level 11+ if Diary not obtained.
Warning for adventuring in Ballroom at level 11+ if Diary not obtained.
Warning for adventuring in Hidden Temple at level 11+ if Nostril of the Serpent obtained but Diary not obtained.

Ballroom is a major leveling location for moxie classes and would be rather aggravating to have daily warnings when you're just trying to out-moxie the rain.

How many 'aggravating' daily warnings do you expect to see between level 11 and getting/reading diary? I can understand getting one if you are powerlevelling to 11 and keep going to use up, say, your zombie waltzer sniff. I'd expect most people to stop at 11 and go get the diary at 11, though. Or are you expecting there to be large numbers of people powerlevelling to very high over many days without questing ?

For me as a lazy person who leveled to 10 in the noob cave before actually starting the rain quest and will spend another day burning turns in the ballroom every time I lose more than 2 fights in a row? 2-5, per character, per ascension. At least during this one. If I switch from HC to SC, less. Hopefully.

Figure I'll see it about 30-100 times before this challenge path is done. Many, many more times when I actually decide to do the leveling to 30 thing, if I don't efficiently use the basement. :)
 
Sometimes. Sometimes I just get lazy any type 'ballroom' and my ballroom script runs away. It depends on if I remember to check on what my current choiceadv results are for curtains. :) And whether I do that by adventuring or by looking at the GUI. Adventuring in relay is safer, because the arrow doesn't lie. As much. :D
 
I tell you what, I'll add a preference that suppresses all the adventure warnings like this, that you can change so they don't appear. There will be niche reasons people decide to do stuff like this, and I'll happily let them opt out.
 
r14565. Added preference relayShowWarnings, defaults to true. If you want to opt out of (most) relay browser adventuring warnings, set it to false.
 
Thanks. :) Not planning on doing the relay EVERY day, but since I keep messing up my choice adventures randomly as I confuse myself, it's likely to keep happening over and over. And I actually realized yesterday that I had a level 14 character who still hadn't finished the quests through level 5 yet... Heh. So slow... :p
 
I saw the warnings for the winecellar and the boiler room for the first time today. They were very nice - except each time it was the Spookyraven Lights Out turn and I was following Stephen's trail and there was no chance that I'd be "wasting" a turn before reading the recipe or equipping unstable fluminate.
