75.48.127.248:

Now that all the functions on this page have their own pages, wouldn't it be best to remove the page and allow Category:Ash Functions to be our master list of all functions? That would save the trouble of remembering to add new functions to this page like form_fields, entity_encode and entity_decode which aren't listed here. I think that this page has finished serving its purpose. --[[User:Bale|Bale]] 00:01, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

I repeat my question. Does anyone want to update this listing, or shall we replace it with [http://wiki.kolmafia.us/index.php?title=Category:Ash_Functions&redirect=no] --[[User:Bale|Bale]] 20:48, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Now that Heeeheehee commented in his edit, "Two functions that never found their way onto this list. I forget -- do we even maintain this page any more?" I'd like to reiterate that we can stop updating the list and replace it with [http://wiki.kolmafia.us/index.php?title=Category:Ash_Functions&redirect=no this]. That list will automatically update every time a new function is added. That's the wonder of categories. --[[User:Bale|Bale]] 04:25, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Well, the problem that always comes up with using wiki category pages here is the formatting. Plus, it's not like the category page is going to automatically list new functions that no one has made a page for. My original intent was to write a simple script to parse the correct file(s) from KoLmafia's source and auto-generate the master function list page text. Then, anything without a page will show up red & we'll know what needs to be added, as well as having a well-formed page. Anyone want to take a stab at that? Or perhaps some other ideas for an automated solution? --[[Special:Contributions/75.48.127.248|75.48.127.248]] 08:35, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit to add: Of course, it might be easier just to write a script to parse "ashref." Hmm. Also, why am I not auto-logging-in anymore? (--StDoodle)

75.48.127.248: /* (ASHRM) String Handling Routines */

Didn't realize that re: ===

Probably needs a mention somewhere on here...

I DO know that I copy / pasted said code into the cli, and it didn't work...

--[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle]] 01:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

For what it's worth, once you mentioned it, I could swear I'd run into it before, so mafia probably used to allow it...
I dunno, I just work here. ;) --[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle]] 12:21, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again for helping man, just one thing I'd like to request; please make sure when adding new function pages to either set the category as "Uncategorized" or add the <nowiki>{{flink}}</nowiki> short function description to the appropriate category page.

Thanks. --[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 18:27, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to admin hood! Please try not to mess with templates unless something breaks, and remember not to block account creation on banned people (I also tend to go with 6 months). Good luck! --[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 02:02, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping up on things while I've been uber-busy! In my not-too-distant-future plans, I'd like to make a section on the main page for "main" mafia stuff, with a list that has main listings for each tab / window (gCLI, Adventuring, Chat, etc) & sub-listings for any nested stuff therein. IE:
* Adventuring
** Moods
** Custom Combat
* CLI
* Gear Changer

etc.

I don't have a problem with the CLI link being in the ash section for now, just a heads up on the fact that eventually I plan to move it, once I get around to being able to work on the next "phase" of this project.
--[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 17:16, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Man, I wish I'd had free time lately; I can't wait to get back to helping on this thing again! But I wanted to drop in and say thanks for doing such awesome work while I haven't been available; you've got some nifty improvements to this place under you belt. --[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 06:45, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

== Consistency ==

I hereby dub Heeheehee, the master of Obsessive Compulsive Capitalization. It exhausts me just looking at your changelog for today. --[[User:Bale|Bale]] 21:17, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I only made the change that I did because I was linking to a section with "KolMafia" listed, and didn't want to make things difficult in the future. I figured the rest would be taken care of eventually... but damn! --[[User:StDoodle|StDoodle (#1059825)]] 22:44, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

== (ASHRM) String Handling Routines ==

That's a pretty frequently vandalized page which is bloody weird. Since we don't even use that page it doesn't seem obviously bad to make it impossible for someone to edit. Sadly it will probably just make the spambot choose another more useful page to vandalize. That makes me think it would be good to unprotect the page just to sit there as a lightning rod to draw the spambot to it. Weird? Yes, but possible sensible. --[[User:Bale|Bale]] 06:59, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

I wonder what can be done about this... I really don't want such an artifact page around if possible, but if it's a choice between rampant vandalism and contained vandalism, whatchagonnado? If it gets used again, we should see what happens if we move the page, maybe. Or I dunno. --[[Special:Contributions/75.48.127.248|75.48.127.248]] 15:45, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

==Setting up symlinks for Dropbox on non-Windows systems==
Open the command-line interface for your OS. For linux, type in: 
ln -s ~/.kolmafia /path/to/dropbox/folder/KoLmafia

For a Mac, type in: 
ln -s /Library/Application\ Support/KoLmafia /path/to/dropbox/folder/KoLmafia

==Setting up symlinks for Dropbox on a Mac==
If you're using a Mac, and the section above made no sense, here are step-by-step instructions that will get you there.
*Open Terminal.app. This is in /Applications/Utilities, or you can just use Spotlight to find it.
*Open Finder, and navigate to the folder containing your Dropbox folder.
*In Terminal, type "cd ", then drag the Dropbox folder onto the Terminal window, then press Enter.
**Leave the quotes out for all of these commands and make sure to include the trailing space. Copy-pasting the commands is advised.
*In Terminal, type "ln -s /Library/Application\ Support/KoLmafia KoLmafia", then press enter.
*You now have a symbolic link, and Dropbox will back up your mafia settings files.

My suggestion; we just create a "Dropbox" page here on the wiki, link to that from the FAQ, add the external link to the text above, and call it a day. Any other input? --[[Special:Contributions/75.48.127.248|75.48.127.248]] 02:29, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Help:Frequently Asked Questions

2010-06-13T19:28:42Z

75.48.127.248:

;How do I re-apply stickers?
:Go to the Gear Changer tab in the main interface. See those bottom three dropdown menus?
;How do I get mafia to reapply stickers automatically when they wear out?
:Put it in your mood as described below. You can change the stickers command to indicate whichever stickers you want to keep active.
:: '''Trigger On:''' Unconditional trigger
:: '''Check For:'''
:: '''Command:''' stickers unicorn, unicorn, unicorn
;What / where are daily builds?
:Daily builds are revisions of KoLMafia that are released for testing new features and/or bugfixes. They can be found at http://builds.kolmafia.us/.
;Can I get Mafia to do something other than abort when my sugar equipment breaks?
:Go to the Adventure tab in the main interface. At the bottom are some more tabs. Click on the Choice Advs tab. Now click on the Item tab on the left hand side. Change the Breakable Equipment setting as desired.
;I downloaded a script, but when I try to run it, it tells me that a function is undefined.
:This almost always means that the script makes use of newer ASH functions that are not available in the version you're using. See the link for daily builds above, and grab a newer version.
;I found a bug! What should I do?
:Please double-check for user-error first. (No offense intended, but it happens a lot.) If you're fairly sure that you have a "real" bug (reproducible, describable, and undesired), please post it in the [http://kolmafia.us/forumdisplay.php?24-Bug-Reports Bug Report Forum]. Make sure to list which version of KoLmafia you are using (which you can see by selecting the Help (menu) -> Copyright Notice). Also, list the operating system you are using, and a description of what to do to reproduce the bug, and any other helpful information.
;Is there a way to get mafia to stop auto-adventuring when a counter expires?
:Mafia will stop automating on most counters. Note that purely informational counters like he-boulder rays and hippy windchimes will not stop automation.
;Is there a way to get mafia to stop auto-adventuring when a hobo code or demon name is found?
:KoLmafia [[auto-stops]] on these adventures whenever you do not have any conditions set. Just adventure in the zone without conditions and those hobo codes or demon names become your condition. Easy-peasy.
;How do I edit/create an ASH script?
:Use a nonformatting text editor such as [http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm Notepad++] -- word processors like Microsoft Word will not work. When finished, save the file with the extension *.ash.
;Where are these mafia directories to which I need to download scripts. They've names like /scripts and /data .
:This varies depending on your operating system. Look for your system at [[mafia directories]].
;Help, my script aborts whenever [some function] returns false!
:By default, whenever an ASH function returns false, everything will abort ''unless'' you somehow capture the return value (i.e. assigning it to a variable or enclosing it in a control structure). So, if you want to make use of, say, the hermit() function in a way that won't abort if the function returns false, you could use:
{{CodeSample
|code=
<syntaxhighlight>
boolean fakeBool = hermit(1, $item[Ten-leaf clover]);
</syntaxhighlight>}}
or
{{CodeSample
|code=
<syntaxhighlight>
if (!hermit(1, $item[Ten-leaf clover])) print("Hermit looting unsuccessful, continuing with script.");
</syntaxhighlight>}}

Quests

75.48.127.248: /* Pirates */ muscle sign gets frilly skirt

For information about how Mafia will automate various quests for you (past the normal adventuring automation and choosing of choice adventures), see here:

==Council Quests==
===Level 1===
There are no quests here.

===Level 2===
No special automation.

===Level 3===
The "tavern" CLI command will automatically adventure at the tavern (randomizing the squares at which it adventures) until it finds the faucet, at which point it will stop without turning it off.

===Level 4===
No special automation, but Mafia will remind you about setting the MCD for particular boss drops when fighting the boss bat.

===Level 5===
Mafia will automatically use the perfume for you when you adventure in the Goblin King's Lair without the effect active. It will also equip the Harem Outfit for you and remind you about setting the MCD for the boss fight.

===Level 6===
No special automation.

===Level 7===
No special automation.

===Level 8===
No special automation, though mafia will highlight squares in the Itznotyerzitz Mine that are sparkling with large "DIG" signs.

===Level 9===
When adventuring in the Orc Chasm, if the condition "64735 scroll" is set, then mafia will automatically try to create one if fighting an adding machine. If not, there is an option to have mafia automatically create 31337 scrolls if you have the required components.

===Level 10===
No special automation.

===Level 11===
====Black Forest====
Mafia will automatically create the blackbird, equip it, use the black market map and the re-equip the familiar you had before when you use the black market map (either through the CLI, relay browser or Mafia interface).
====Spookyraven====
Mafia automatically works out which dusty bottles of wine you need and will out from what corners they are dropped. It will also number the bottles in the drop-down indicating in which order you need to pour them in. Mafia also has an option to automatically adventure in the basement, alternating between corners until it works out where the bottles of wine are.
====Palindrome====
Mafia automatically arranges the items on the shelves for you, and will do this through the relay browser or auto-adventuring.
====Hidden City====
The Stone Spheres are tracked when used in combat, and automatically selected in the drop-down for the altars.

===Level 12===
Mafia will mark the side-quests as done with the letters "F" and "H" for Frat and Hippy respectively, and also tracks the number of enemies killed on each side, indicating the amount killed and remaining after each battle, and also alerting you to when the other side-quests are unlocked.

===Level 13===
Mafia will automate almost everything about this quest.

==Essential Non-Council Quests==
===Pirates===
Mafia will track how many pirate insults you know, and will automatically select the right choice in the Beer Pong adventure. Also, if you are adventuring in the F'c'le with all three of the items, mafia will automatically use them for you, to get the priate fledges.

Mafia will not autocomplete the blueprints for you, but you can use the [[alias]] command to almost do this. By copy+pasting the following code in the CLI:

'''alias dentures => checkpoint ; equip frilly skirt; ash visit_url("inv_use.php?which=3&whichitem=2951&pwd" ); visit_url("choice.php?whichchoice=188&option=3&cho iceform3=Catburgle&pwd"); cli_execute("outfit checkpoint");'''

You will then be able to type '''dentures''' into the CLI whenever you want the dentures. It will equip the frilly skirt (useful especially if you are a muscle sign), choose the right choice in the blueprints item, and re-equips your pants again.

==Non-Essential Quests==

==Other Miscellaneous Automation or Help==
===Basement===
Mafia will automate this substantially. For more information, see the [[Basement]] page.

===Barrel Full of Barrels===

===Unlocking the Spookyraven Ballroom===
Mafia handles the two choice adventures in the library in a non-standard fashion. If you've selected "reveal key in conservatory" in the "Fall of Spookyraven" choiceadv, but have already done that, it will unlock the stairs instead. If you try to unlock the stairs, but that's already done, it will choose the "skip adventure" option.
