[BUG (maybe actually a bug?)] Garbo forgot how to handle combat

Hello thank you and apologies!

The issue: Garbo (or what Garbo calls) has forgotten how to handle combat.
After entering combat, instead of running thru the auto-attack, it start trying to move on to between-battle things and either crashes or gets stuck in a loop of " KoLmafia thinks it is round __ but KoL thinks it is round 1". Not every combat! Patriotic Eagle setting up Barf fails. Some gingerbread city fights fail. Every giant sandworm fight fails. Seal fights go fine. Lobster fights, melf fights, Snojo, Burning Leaves, fine. Encounter a crate: fails.

The hope: that there is a step I can take to restore its combat-handling capabilities.

Background: So I was doing exactly what I was instructed not to do, and was clicking around in the relay browser while Garbo was running. I understand. My fault. I did this to myself and am a bad person. Sorry again. I suspect what might have kicked it off was typing "/aa none" in the chatbox, worried I had something set in there from several years ago when I last played. I had run the script smoothly a few times before that, never since. Cant say for certain it has anything to do with it , or that the timing lined up exactly, but it certainly seems dumb. I have also been buying and using Standard IotMs while it is running, which is also probably asking for trouble, and something I will never do in the future.

I have kept up to date with several builds of mafia since. I have deleted and reinstalled Garbo. Ive tried setting the Custom Combat to "garbo", "grimoir_macro", and "null" manually. Also set AutoAttack to (disabled) and to Script Autoattack Macro (dont know where that one came from, but I dont remember putting it there myself...) These things have not helped, but have made me feel more foolish.

Thank you for the wonderful script(s), and any attention this blunder may or may not be afforded. If there is something I could do to get my garbo back on track I would be most grateful.

Does this continue to have trouble on re-entry?

Yes indeed. Struggles mightily, and consistently each attempt.

I seem to be experiencing something similar... right now every combat from the begining of the day is having this message: KoLmafia thinks it is round 2 but KoL thinks it is round 1 and the stack trace is similar one thing might be confusing it: I have the effect "aware of bees" on another info, I am running nobarf nodiet and it is going to the deep dark jungle for some reason I am not sure why after looking again at the log I see it was trying to cast feel hatred... somehow mafia got lost in the tracking of feel hatred casts and said I used it only 2 times, when actually it had used it 3 times (all inside of garbo, I never used it)

the first place it fails to handle combat has been Barf Mountain, before free fights, when its setting the Eagle thing to become a citizen of Barf Mountain. If I finish that (throw a tennis ball or something) and re-run, it will fail and Gingerbread City. If I manually get through there, it will also fail to handle sandworms, and the rift things. . . some other free combats I cant remember off the top of my head (but Love Tunnel fights go fine). . . until it gets stuck in the Noob Cave trying to set up crates and Embezzlers. Ive never done that trick myself, and am unfamiliar with the nuances of the new copy-mechanic IotMs, so I havent tried to replicate what it wants there. So from there Ive taken the L.

If this is persisting between mafia instances that's extremely odd, and feels like there might be something else going on. Either autoattack isn't working correctly on your account, or mafia is having trouble writing to CCS. In particular, the fact that mafia seems to think the combat is resolved (at least, enough to move on to the next thing) is troubling

Well, I tried the nuclear option. I made note of all my skillLevel s, moved the entire KoLmafia folder to the trash, and started completely fresh. Redownloaded Garbo and a few other scripts, set skillLevels, and gave Garbo a try.

Same issue.

So... When I check Custom Combat in the Adventure tab, I see it is set to grimoir_macro, ad all that says is:

default -- 1: ";"

Ive also seen it say "We were planning on Treating, but we've been Tricked!" after failed combats.

Is this grimoir_macro a cause of my grief possibly? Do I have a runtime environment issue of some kind? What a bummer.

Oh, and thanks a lot for the consideration horrible-little-slime, dig that Achewood avatar.

I went to https://adoptium.net/ , and picked up the freshest Java. I gave the old lappy a full shutdown and restart instead of sleep mode (admittedly, this should have been step one. turn it off and on always works, right?) But no, the red text and un-burnt turns do persist.

Im curious (but very nervous) to see how other turn-burning scripts perform. the Crimbo script runs fine, but I dont think it has complex combat handing involved. Havent tried autoscend yet, because Crimbo

Im out of ideas. Im on a not-heavily-taxed 2020 macbook pro, so hardware should have some miles left on it. . .

Looking at the log you provided, it looks like the issue is not really with the cold medicine cabinet task, but actually with the Barf Mountain fight before, which is not coming from a grimoirized part of the script. For that fight the ccs was actually garbo, not grimoire_macro. What does the ccs garbo file say when it goes into a loop?

took a spice mel and gave it another run. It didnt end up in a loop, just a crash this time, courtesy of a crate in the Noob Cave.

... And here is an example of it failing in Gingerbread City, if that is interesting or helpful. This takes place after first combat of the day over in Barf with the Eagle (which gets stuck in a loop. This time I manually switched the ccs from grimoir_macro to garbo while it looped to keep it rolling. ) Following that hiccup it was smooth sailing till this next point.

I include the previous combat where it successfully handles the encounter with a gingerbread mad dog for flavor.

It handles most (at least 7 or 8, if important I can check) of the post-noon Gingerbread City combats, as well as a few June Cleaver non-combat things, until it crashes at a gingerbread mad dog. I check, and the ccs is set to garbo. Return to relay browser, and select Script Autoattack Macro to let the ccs handle this time. I hit Execute Macro, and am given the error message : Macro Aborted ("abort "Expected June Cleaver non-combat but ended up in combat."")

following above mentioned crashing points, I managed to manually fight and copy as many Embezzlers as possible using (almost) every resource I'm aware is available to me. Next I repeatedly garbo-crashed and manually completed many shadow rift things.

After that, garbo turns -500 finally went to Barf, where it ran smoothly until the desired turn count (from a starting point of somewhere in the mid-600 advs). I followed with a garbo turns -498 to make sure it wasn't a fluke. No probs again.

Another thing interesting in the log from today is that garbo did manage to do some combats sucessfully (in molehill mountain to deliver a thesis, and in the The Deep Dark Jungle to use Hugs and Kisses). But it failed in barf mountain when trying to pledge allegiance and then failed throughout the gingerbread civic center many times while trying to runaway with the bandersnatch.

Note that in the snippet you provided, it was actually failing on the first gingerbread mad dog fight as well; note how far apart Round 0 and Round 2 are. I think this entire snippet represents one fight:

What's interesting here is that _stinkyCheeseCount and _pantsgivingCount were incremented by mafia twice even though I'm pretty sure these are the same fight. This suggests mafia is parsing something in the initial fight page (Round 0/Round 1) that makes it think the fight is over (and return control to garbo), even though the fight hasn't actually ended yet.

Shot in the dark, does your bandersnatch, grim brother, or eagle have any unusual names (i.e., with special characters or something) that mafia may confuse for fight-ending text? Or do you have any KoL-side combat macros defined (in the KoL options menu) with unusual names?

It may help for us to see the page HTML of the start of the fight where garbo fails. To get this you can run debug on in the Mafia CLI, run garbo until it fails, and then debug off. All the HTML that mafia received will then be put in a file. You should relog before posting this file, since I think it will contain some details of your login cookie.

Hi Kasekopf, Thanks for all the consideration, and your scripting work in general! As for familiar names, the only one I have with special characters (not including apostrophes) is my Robortender named ÃAcirc;© Îacirc;&a, If that could be an issue I would be more than happy to rename! As for the rest, I'll follow up tomorrow. Thanks again!

@Kasekopf you're right that mafia seems to think the fight is over--the way I drew this conclusion was just that we're using adv1, so it should be willing to move on from there. I hadn't caught that it's incrementing properties too, that's very odd.

@capncastom can you check your autoattack settings? Garbo should be checking the "use autoattack even against special monsters" setting but I could imagine it isn't. Your garbo.ccs doesn't look malformed, but also one quick question: is the version you sent one that came up after a successful run of garbo? or was it one right after a crash? We repeatedly write and re-write that file, so if you sent it after you managed to get it successfully to running barf-turns, that's not as helpful information for solving this problem--we need a copy of it for a fight it's crashing on, to see if it's malformed.

@horrible-little-slime , everything submitted above is following the result of a crash. Yesterday was the first time I was able to brute-force my way through and run it to completion. The box for Enable auto-attack even against boss and special monsters is indeed ticked in KoL combat settings.

@Kasekopf , checking my KoL-side combat macros, I see none containing any special characters. I do have one called after, and another called fight. Neither are set or called by me prior to or during a garbo run, but if their existence is a problem, I'm happy to rename/remove. Matter of fact I'll do it now.

Ive renamed my robortender, as well as an Unspeakachu named %fn and a Baby Bugged Bugbear named snɔɐʇ&#63 that I forgot about, just in case...

And finally, trying the debug on run of garbo in case those names didn't matter : Still hangs on the Eagle pledging allegiance to Barf. Manually scrolled the CCS from grimoir_macro to garbo while it was stuck to move it along.

Then, as usual, it crashed in Gingerbread City, again on the 4th encounter in the zone. Here is that fight, as well as the preceding one for flavor.

capn_castom_20231224.txt

I had hoped that maybe I had gotten myself into some weird game-state that might resolve itself on ascension. I did a very buggy very crashy loopsmol run, then ran garbo again to be met with the same issues.

and here are yesterdays, with the struggles of loopsmol, and mafia loosing track of things: capn_castom_20231224.txt

I think this is it: In the KoL options menu under combat, do you have "Show old form with Combat Action Bar(?)" checked? Try unchecking it.

Looking at the debug log you provided was very helpful. I think. In the mafia detection for when a fight is over, if you have the combat action bar enabled it is looking for the text (show old combat form) on the page to tell if the fight is over. But this doesn't appear if the old form is also shown. I normally have this unchecked on my character; as soon as I checked it I was able to repro some of the behavior:
