Trying to make sense of the source files in this repository and the bundled output, and it seems like you're missing some files from the repository. That may just be because you're hosting the game directly from the repository, but then why have the src and util directories still in it? Or from the lack of a license on the repo, you're trying to keep this closed source...but still taking pull requests from the community.

At a minimum a minimum, I would think webpack.config and package.json should be added. Honestly not sure how you've managed to keep working on the project this long without checking those files in.

"Unrecognized token: ContinueStatement. This is a bug please report to game developer"

Terminal will return standard error message if no parameters are specified, but returns no indicators if arguments (valid or invalid) are passed into the command, and nothing actually happens regardless of the sent file's validity.

After playing for a while in just Sector-12, I decided to play around with other cities. I was pleased to learn that some had their own training locations in the world menu, and that the higher cost came with a higher experience gain. There was just one problem. I had applied for the lowest requirement job I could find in Sector-12, gotten a promotion which still had lower requirements than pretty much any other job I'd found, and was already getting paid a great salary to gain hacking exp at a higher rate than even the most prestigious university, which I'd had to spend a few hundred thousand game-dollars to find in the first place. So I was left wondering, what was even the point in these schools? Sure, if I can get there early I'll have a jump-start, but it's almost immediately surpassed by something that costs me nothing to do.

I created an alias that was called "buy" and then tried to connect to "darkweb" and buy items, but I recieved an "ERROR: no such script". "unalias" was also being unsupportive of me so I exported the game, decoded it, changed the name of the alias, recoded it, and reloaded it into the browser. I saved the game and reloaded the browser, then tested to see if the alias worked. When I typed "buy" on "home", it prompted me exactly as how it would on the server "darkweb":

I then deleted the game and skipped Exit Tutorial and did this in the terminal:

Bitburner v0.34.0
[home ~]> buy
You need to be connected to the Dark Web to use the buy command
[home ~]$

I bought the TOR router and tried again.

[home ~]> buy
Incorrect number of arguments. Usage:

buy [item name]
[home ~]> connect darkweb

You are now connected to the dark web. From the dark web you can purchase illegal items. Use the 'buy -l' command to display a list of all the items you can buy. Use 'buy [item-name] to purchase an item
[darkweb ~]> buy

buy -l
buy [item name]
[darkweb ~]> home

[home ~]$

So I can "buy" from "home". Maybe I don't know how use "unalias", but I can just use "alias buy=buy" to fix the bad alias call without exporting my save.

I would be nice to have options for sorting by, Alphabetical(regardless of case), Types(.extension), and also the norm. If you can think of any other useful sorting types, thats ok too.

I think theres a '+' missing.

This isn't exactly a bug, but more of an implementation detail that is the issue.
When highlighting the args in the scriptname.script to copy, the selection is continually reset in the textbox because of updating the other production infos. I'm not sure if it is possible with the toolkit to be able to make the Threads and Args lines in one textbox and the production lines in another without changing the look of the dropdown. The Threads and Args textbox would not "update" every few seconds and wreak the selection.

Example

After you click next in the tutorial box, the scroll position isn't reset, you have to manually scroll up again.
Suggestion:

function iTutorialSetText(txt) {
    var textBox = document.getElementById("interactive-tutorial-text");
    if (textBox == null) {throw new Error("Could not find text box"); return;}
    textBox.innerHTML = txt;
    textBox.parentElement.scrollTop = 0; // this resets scroll position
}

When I'm tailing a script, oftentimes the log feels spammed by information from my actions that I don't care about.

For instance, every time I take a university course, I'm told all that I gained right afterwords. Or I don't need to know Sleeping for 10000 milliseconds every 10 seconds in the log.

If there was a way to disable this, and only show the print() sections of the script in the log, that would be great. Just a request.

See image below

While experimenting on the Stock Market bitnode, I wrote a ton of scripts trying to figure out the best way to game the stock market. Eventually I found the best strategy was simply to purchase shares of every stock and then leave your computer running for a few days (with Bitburner running as the active tab)

After 3-4 days, I start seeing numbers like these in my portfolio:

It feels really bad that this is the best strategy for the bitnode. I actually feel this is the best strategy across all bitnodes after you get Source File 8 and gain permanent access to the stock market. Because of this exploit, I can beat any bitnode in which I have access to the stock market in a few days, without really playing the game.

I don't think stocks should grow to such ridiculous numbers, and if possible, I think something should be done to improve the gains of stock market scripts when tabbed out of the game (I understand the limitation here, however)

Optional Time stamp for log entry and the terminal.

All instances of wrapper.script have been finished, some for over an hour. Not sure what the cause is.
wrapper.script is a special script I wrote to be able to short-circuit crime-running scripts that auto repeat for certain lengths of time (or indefinitely). Its contents are below:

/***************
/ wrapper.script
/ Wraps an "unkillable" script
/ accepts a script name and up to 10 arguments to pass to it
/ Creates a prompt, and when the prompt is resolved, kills the "unkillable" script
***************/
script = args.shift();
//Collects up to 10 arguments you wish to pass to the wrapped script.
//If less than 10 arguments are to be passed, the rest are filled with 0s.
for(arg = args.length; arg < 10; arg++) {
    args.push(0);
}
//Run the script with 1 thread and all 10 arguments.
run(script, 1, args[0], args[1], args[2], args[3], args[4], args[5], args[6], args[7], args[8], args[9]);
//Prompt the user to prematurely end the script.
//SCRIPT EXECUTION PAUSES UNTIL THE PROMPT IS RESOLVED.
prompt("Kill the script?  Both options do the same.");
//Once the prompt is resolved, forcibly kill the script.
//The script name, the host name, and all passed arguments must be included.
kill(script, getHostname(), args[0], args[1], args[2], args[3], args[4], args[5], args[6], args[7], args[8], args[9]);

It's possible that this bug is caused by modifying the args variable, but I'm not sure.

I think I know the cause (promises not getting rejected during killNetscriptDelay), and I will fix it, but I thought I'd log it here in case I don't get around to it before my international trip next week.

PS isn’t this a runescape clone

But you get AGI?
Not quite sure, but looks like

Prices in the darkweb server are using comma as decimal separator, like $1,500,000, when it should be $1.500.000,00 for consistency.

Option to either set autosave delay, or disabling / enabling it in the options.

Autosave takes a few seconds when I have thousands of scripts running, so this would be useful in that case.

Specifically, scripts error when passing FLCM to getStockPrice(). I checked, all other stocks passed OK. Bug is repeatable.

Update: I've tested getStockPosition() with FLCM and received the same error - literally "Invalid stock symbol passed into getStockPrice()". Note, getStockPrice() when I was using the getStockPosition() function. It appears you've duplicated the error text from getStockPrice() in the getStockPosition() function.

Thought: Is it possible that the recent typo fix to Fulcrum Technologies is causing a mismatch in my existing game? Maybe when I ascend and rebuy WSE/TIX it will remap FLCM to the corrected spelling.

I've been running my gang in bitnode-2 for a while, and now I have this on my territory screen:

Seems to happen when dragging the connection to an invalid node. The error seems to interrupt the tick cycle, so after it occurs, none of the nodes in the minigame, nor the values outside of it, like money, refresh anymore.

it's rather confusing to have those 3 different spellings; particularly the one accepted by applyToCompany() isn't ideal (the first one):

• "Fulcrum Technolgies"
• "Fulcrum Technologies"
• "Fulcrum Secret Technologies"

This is a minor point but it kinda makes the RAM costs of for and if irrelevant.

if (cond) {

can be replaced with

while(cond) {

and I'm sure you can figure how all for can be replaced for while

on one hand this is a game about "hacking" so maybe the players should be rewarded for bending the rules. on the other it "forces" the player to make less readable code in order to save a few MB.

Attempting to use a throw statement, as in

which still crashes the script, but in an unexpected way.

(I know, this is more of a feature request thing again, I'm sorry, it told me to report it.)

I tried killing one of my coding accidents and... it just didn't work. I had to F5-refresh and then kill it before it actually started.

how to reproduce:

function getbestavailablehost(...) { ... }

function getbesthost(...) {
  hostname = getbesthost(...);  // <- bug was here - should call getbestavailablehost(...) instead
  if (hostname === null) { hostname = buynewhost(...); }
  return hostname;
}

...
x = getbesthost(...);

Each run of a NetscriptJS script leaks up to about around 70kB of memory. The memory being leaked includes everything reachable from the WorkerScript object, as well as the imported modules themselves.

The baseline reason this is happening is that modules can never be unloaded, and NetscriptJS creates a new module each time it runs a script. That module holds references (in module-scoped variables) to the WorkerScript.

We can cut the leak down to a fraction of its current size using the existing strategy -- maybe as little as 1kB. But it's not going away, because we cannot induce garbage collection of the generated code or certain bits of metadata about the module.

There are a couple of things we can do.

• Don't launch NetscriptJS. 😭
• Put up with the memory leak with stop-gap fixes. 👎 People will run into it eventually, although the game is very playable even in its current state.
• We could reuse the module object each time we invoke it. 👌 Requires passing the state as a parameter to main. So main() would become main(sys), and instead of calling await hack() you'd call await sys.hack(). The user would have to pass sys to any function that uses Netscript functions. In this scheme, a new module would be created only when the user edits the code. This would still leak a little, but it's not really conceivable that the user is going to edit 1M times without reloading.
• We could use WebWorkers to solve the underlying problem. 😨 It would require more rewriting of user JS. Each time the user calls a Netscript function, it would need to be async and request information from the environment. We could insert awaits strategically, but now all user functions have to be async functions . . . it's a mess.

Variations on the third idea may be possible. Perhaps we could wrap all user functions in a closure, and then initialize that closure with the environment. I will ruminate on this.

I'm still waiting for an answer on my Stack Overflow question, but this is the state of the problem tonight. My plan is to put into place the stop-gap fixes (so I can play the game at least 😉) and then look in to what can be done to get us closer to the third state.

This happens when I run this script

target = args[0];
while(true){
if(getServerSecurityLevel(target) > getServerMinSecurityLevel(target)){
weaken(target);
continue;
}if(getServerMoneyAvailable(target) < getServerMaxMoney(target)){
grow(target);
continue;
}else{
hack(target);
}
}

with these arguments

run slaveS.script -t 200 foodnstuff

After installing augments

I made a batch of 1024 GB RAM servers, and the getScriptRam function always returns 0 when I call it with my script. The script in question is only 2.4 GB. The script in question is as follows:

// a script that maintains a balance and security level as it hacks a server
targetServer = args[0];
while(true)
{
if (getServerMoneyAvailable(targetServer ) < args[1]
)
grow(targetServer );
else if (getServerSecurityLevel(targetServer ) > args[2])
weaken(targetServer );
else
hack(targetServer );
}

Here's my full save:

Run this to get it going:
run maintainhack.script "foodnstuff" 2000000 6

I'm absolutely loving this game, and had a thought I wanted to throw up here because I thought it'd help clean up the home pc some.

I'm loving the game, and have spent way too much time on it. But thanks for making it even if you don't take this "issue" into the game.

The game worked the first time kind of, but the second time i opened the game it wouldn't start the timer or anything so i looked at console and found this int he above picture.

Not really a big deal but interesting bug.

(FYI THIS GAME IS FUCKING AWESOME, THANK YOU)

It'd be great if there was a more streamlined way to share code. A very simplified, quasi- version of git could work. People can maintain scripts on github and in-game, repos could be "git cloned" where it just pulls down the latest version of the files in the repo; no .git, no versioning, nothing special, just plain text files. In-game version of git would be basically just git clone functionality for a public repo. I imagine this would simplify the coding required.

This would make it way faster and easier when someone updates their set of scripts that you use and you want to update them in-game. A simple update script that just goes and runs "git clone $URL" on all your servers would mean updating scripts is fast and easy.

GetStatLevel(stat) function for singularity bitnode.

Last night I made new scripts using Arrays and threads, and today when I woke up I found out that most of my servers were in ridiculous negative figures. So I guess there are some validations missing around and server goes into minor negative value and grow() just make it go even lower non-stop, because I definitely didn't hack that much money :P.

A different minor issue on the same subject: before this I got into a situation where some servers got to 0 money due to over-hacking and couldn't grow() them anymore (because it's based on a percentage). Maybe it would be nice to make grow be able to grow back from zero too.

Example of the error:

getServerMoneyAvailable() returned -3,886,154,147,409,390,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00

With or without disableLog, I basically get the same messages:

Is this some sort of easter egg, secret message to be decoded, or just to look like some encrypted data to non programmers...???
Please no spoilers, just a basic Yes or No question answers.

Edit: I am a python programmer and found this read very interesting.

Ive been having trouble killing a script that has workForFaction(faction, "hacking"); in a function.
I was still trying to debug parts of my script but was having trouble because I could not kill it in a timely manner
Every time i kill it will start the faction work again multiple times then take 15+ minutes to die
The full scrip is below.

function work(faction){
    while (getFactionRep(faction) < rep) {
        if(nonhacking.indexOf(faction)==-1){
            workForFaction(faction, "hacking");
        } else {
            workForFaction(faction,"fieldwork");
        }
        sleep(sleeptime);
    }
}

function workjob(company){
    applyToCompany(company,"software");
    while (getCompanyRep(company) < corprep) {
        workForCompany();
        sleep(sleeptime);
    }```
}

If the user could be prompted to refresh the page after importing a save, it will fix the below. (The tab didn't appear even after I was offered to join Sector-12. Save is pasted here if you're interested: https://pastebin.com/RG0CcKPQ)

Avoid ram usage for function calls:

hack_func = hack;
hack_func("hostname");

Avoid ram usage for while:

while (cond) {
  stuff;
}

turns into

function recursive() {
  stuff;
  cond && recursive();
}

Execute arbitrary Javascript [with no RAM cost]

hack.constructor("alert(1)")();

Also, there are some annoying limitations.
It's impossible to use anything like [1, 2, 3].map(function a(x) { return x * 2; }) [function expressions not implemented], or function mapper(x) { return x * 2; }; [1,2,3].map(mapper); [function declarations are not actual Javascript functions]

Right now to create a program the player needs to start it and not interrupt it, otherwise it would start over.

I don't see how this behavior adds anything to the game except annoying the player for not letting them do other stuff like checking state of scripts or improving hacknet.

I find the game mechanic a bit bland, maybe you could remove that restriction about doing it uninterruptedly?

BTW, another thing I find a bit annoying about creating programs is that it seems that even if you are at 50 hacking skill or 500 hacking skill, it always takes exactly the same time.
OTOH, I do undestand if this is a idle/incremental wall that the user needs to pass just by waiting some time, but can you consider making the time it takes to build scale with skill?

Programs like DeepscanV2.exe and relaySTMP.exe takes 2 hours to create, which is a lot and can't be reduced, I've been avoiding them in my lasts prestige starts and just kept hacking lower port nodes, and using V1 scans just to avoid those extra hours. I hope at least there's some faction that makes them autounlock like BruteSSH.exe but I didn't find it yet.

Loving your game so far.

I did some short aliases for commands I was using regularly and after a while I hit a problem: It seems command arguments are interpreted as aliases too. Definitely not what I was expecting.

It would be nice to have a way to delete an alias too. For example I don't use the "g" one anymore, can't get it out of the list, unless I'm missing something.

I'm not sure how this happen but I'm running a singularity script on bit node 2 and its not increasing the ram cost
it is only my getcurrentfaction.script 1 26.00GB it should be 152.00 GB based on the editor

Being a "programming" game, the docs should be generated accordingly.
http://www.sphinx-doc.org

Contributers should WANT to document it, as most coders do, not use a wiki.

This could also be an alternative. wikia has ads that slow down the page(unwanted)/constantly bog down the pages, readthedocs.org has free hosting without ads.
