Feature - Rejected When ASH scripts visit a URL, and that URL returns a blank page, don't abort

[wrldwzrd89]

This is most noticeable with bumcheekcity's informational script. If you invoke it when you don't have access to the Arcade, it dies as soon as it attempts to visit arcade.php, because KoL returns a blank page back if you don't have access, which triggers an auto-abort within KoLmafia. It would be nice if ASH scripts could optionally recover from these errors, rather than ungracefully dying.

KoLmafia aborts because there could be missing information crucial to your script. (There are many things that could cause that error, including lag.) It's a good behavior even if it is sometimes troubling.

In this case, it was a bug in bumcheekcity's script to not account for lack of arcade access. I believe he's fixed the bug.

Bale's right. If you get a blank page, something is very wrong. If KoL isn't working, mafia can't work. A fullstop should hit.

If such a feature were implemented, it should be strictly optional.

Indeed, Bale's right. This was a bug in the script, not in mafia. The behaviour at the moment is, whilst annoying in some cases, much better when you consider the wider picture.

By the way, redownload the script and that bug is fixed.
