autoscend (formerly sl_ascend; formerly, formally cc_ascend) is under new managment. The previous developers decided they could no longer continue supporting the script or Kingdom of Loathing after actions of Jick and some of the other developers were made public.

The script was moved to this more communal location and has tentative support from some much less experienced developers. Basic support is expected to continue but fixes and enhancements will likely be slow. Large feature support (such as new challenge paths) will probably not happen without more support from the community. Feel free to pitch in.

Seriously, we need and want the help. Want to learn how to code? Or maybe you know how to code but want to check out KoLMafia's ash scripting langauge? We are very friendly and happy to teach.

autoscend is a script that will play through an entire ascension for you in the Kingdom of Loathing. It is built up from sl_ascend and cc_ascend before it.

Run this command in the graphical CLI:

svn checkout https://github.com/Loathing-Associates-Scripting-Society/autoscend/trunk/RELEASE/

Will require a recent build of KoLMafia.

If you would like to try the newest feature you can checkout the beta branch:

svn checkout https://github.com/Loathing-Associates-Scripting-Society/autoscend/branches/beta/RELEASE/

Note: you may need to delete KoLMafia's svn cache if you want to switch between the master and beta branches. It can be found in <mafia dir>/svn/Loathing-Associates-Scripting-Society-autoscend-trunk-RELEASE and <mafia dir>/svn/Loathing-Associates-Scripting-Society-autoscend-branches-beta-RELEASE respectively

Just type autoscend in the gCLI! You can configure autoscend in the relay browser via the relay script autoscend. If you ever want to interrupt the script, please use the interrupt button in the autoscend relay script rather than terminating via mafia with escape. Otherwise certain settings may not be restored properly to their pre-run values.

There are a couple specific requirements to run autoscend effectively. If you run in to issues in a path that allows access to your normally permed skills, don't report them if you don't have these skills permed:

• Saucestorm
• Cannelloni Cocoon

Other things that help greatly but shouldn't be strictly required (I think):

• Curse of Weaksauce + Itchy Curse Finger
• Stuffed Mortar Shell
• Saucegeyser

If you want to run HCCS, the recommended setup is Sauceror with all of the skills mentioned in the requirements section. Other classes should work as well, but Sauceror works best.

The recommended class/sign combination for running autoscend in TCRS is Sauceror/Blender. Other signs should work okay too, but they won't have any special support (like automatic diet, or using certain nice cheap potions).

The recommended choices in Valhalla for Actually Ed the Undying are

• Astral Pilsners.
• Astral Ring if you have less than 20 skill points, Astral Belt otherwise.
• Opossum moon sign

This code base has changed hands and evolved over years of development. Most of the code was written by people who are no longer playing the game or maintaining it. So, there may be mistakes and learning curves. Please be patient and understanding, this is a hobby for us.

Your ascension may or may not break in spectacular ways! Sorry in advance if that happens!

Please do create github issues for any problems you run in to. We make no promises about how fast we'll be to handle them, but we'll try to fix reasonable problems in a reasonable timeframe.

You can also come discuss problems with the script on the #autoscend channel on the Ascension Speed Society discord server, or just discuss the script in general!

This script would obviously not be possible without the work of Cheesecookie and soolar. They did by far the majority of the work. So thanks a bunch to both of you!
