#98 Clover automation fails if protection is enabled
Using the clover adventures presently loops indefinitely if you have clover protection enabled. It works manually by clicking the location link (as you can choose to continue with your clover intact), but not via the automation link. We need to deal with this, perhaps by turning clover protection off temporarily, though that seems risky.
I have solved the clover protection issue thanks to a very old suggestion from frono -- er, Mr Adams -- so OQ now gets your clover adventure correctly. Unfortunately you'll still want to do these manually (i.e. click the Location link rather than the step itself) for now, because OQ will continue to adventure there even after losing your clover. Haven't tracked this bug down yet, but at least it's progress.
Question - I press the task link about 99% of the time and ignore the use link. If the task link has "manual" or some other clue that the task does not automate to completion then I go to KoLmafia or the relay browser. I always assumed the task and use links did the same thing and thus one was redundant. The comment suggests I am hopelessly uninformed. So what is the difference between the two? :-)
Yes, the action link in the task list will automate the task, but the link in the Location column will start performing the action manually (though it will still automate outfits, set goals, or other preparatory actions -- which can be seen when mousing over the link). Usually it dumps you at the first combat in the zone. Just as with BatMan RE, I try to provide maximum choice over automation vs. manual.
I'm thinking now about relabeling the "Action" column to "Automate" and the "Location" column to "Manual" to help this be more intuitive.
