An ascension script for kolmafia

NEP global variable ignored #273

On ascension days I do the NEP quest to get Drinking TO Drink. In my last iteration I received the "Party Hard" shirt, so I needed the script to ignore NEP (as I do with Pirate and Fantasy on ascension days). I turned "neverendingPartyAlways" to false in the relay, yet the script still performed its daily adventures there.

EDIT: I did set this variable AND saved it with the button at the bottom before running the script. (It may be a good idea to log the settable variables as you read them in at the beginning of the script for diagnostic purposes)

New run, same issue. It is still doing it making me believe it is not another one of my flukes.

Phate4569 commented 4 years ago

Ok this is driving me INSANE. Before running the script: rugrat@KipLaptop:~/.kolmafia/settings$ grep neverendingPartyToday * boondoggle_the_magnificent_prefs.txt:_neverendingPartyToday=false

After running the script: rugrat@KipLaptop:~/.kolmafia/settings$ grep neverendingPartyToday * boondoggle_the_magnificent_prefs.txt:_neverendingPartyToday=true

I can't find anything that sets this. Is it a mafia thing?

Phate4569 commented 4 years ago

Nope, Mafia's default setting is "false"....

Ezandora enlightened me:

Ezandora: set it to false, then visit the wrong side of the tracks. then check it again Ezandora: it means "you have the party unlocked today"

Mafia automatically checks.

Phate4569 commented 4 years ago

So...Here the rub.

neverendingPartyAlways = This is manually set. neverendingPartyToday = Ignored unless "neverendingPartyAlways=false" then on the first visit to wrong side of the tracks it sets this variable to "true"

Together these conspire to make the script ALWAYS adventure at NEP.

I suggest you edit the source to always skip NEP.

Phate4569 commented 4 years ago

Yeah, I'm going to edit my local copy to just use neverendingPartyAlways only.

It is just annoying that there is no way for a standard user to "Turn Off" NEP so that they can farm the quests in Aftercore.
