Agro issues

[jason404]

Just started a new character with the scout. Im having problem with the agro. The bot goes to each waypoint correctly but having issues with the agro.

I have the latest rom verison. Also i've even tried using the default profile but still it has the same problem. Any solutions on how to solve this?



Edit: So I've deleted my rombot files just incase it was corrupt and redid svn. Now im getting this problem.

hello I have the same problem that "waiting for Aggro" fails more than normal.

[Starrider]

*push*

I now watched a little bit on my bot. There is actual some problem with the aggro/fight.

The bot wants to attack a mob. If the bot stands in the mob and got the message to be in front of the mob, the bot abort the fight an goes on to the next waypoint, also during the mob is attacking the bot he doesnt wait for aggro and doesnt attack back. Normally the bot would first go two steps back, but he doesn't do this many times. No settings changed.

also seen: When the bot find a target and runs to it, when it reaches the target an bevor first attack it gave the massage, no damage taken, abort...

[Strange_d]

Are you guys sure it isn't that the mob is just too high a level? Try changing the level above to be higher, I tend to run at 6 levels above.

Code: Select all

<!-- Attack monsters 3 levels above or 10 below your level -->
<option name="TARGET_LEVELDIF_ABOVE" value="3" />
<option name="TARGET_LEVELDIF_BELOW" value="10" />

[Starrider]

no, thats ok, mob setting is not the reason

[jason404]

Somehow i've fixed the issue. I've removed:

<skill name="SCOUT_ARROW_OF_ESSENCE" modifier="" hotkey="VK_J" priority="90" inbattle="true" />
<skill name="SCOUT_FROST_ARROW" modifier="" hotkey="VK_G" priority="110" />

And it seems to work.

Starrider do you play on Us Server - Artemis? Pretty sure i've seen your name before.

[Starrider]

no playing on german server, the problem ist not all the time, but sometimes all 6-10 mobs one time

[Administrator]

How close together are the waypoints? Does this happen at every waypoint, or only some? Does it only happen after killing something within one or two seconds of reaching the waypoint?

The more information you can provide, the easier it will be to fix.

[jason404]

Waypoints werent that close. Yea it did happen for every waypoint.

Somehow the problem just went away. Not sure how.

Just noticed it did it on my mage but im sure it happened because someone else attacked the monster.

[Administrator]

Were you in a party, by any chance? Maybe had a pet or something that could mess with the in-combat flag?

[romvn]

Yes, if you have pet on, you will get it very often. I always dismiss my pet when botting to avoid this issue

[Starrider]

For my the problem occures when the bot goes a long distance to the mob, I have set 400 as max Target range, because I am at a free area where the bot runs a circle around a group of mobs and if he find a mob he runs in the cricle kilss sometimes all inside an goes back to the nearest waypoint around the mobs.
But if he runs to the mob, he has the problem to face the target, makes no damage. Maybe some eror inthe mob fight distance (I set MELEE_DISTANCE" value="50" ) then the routine for walking 2 steps back doesn't really work like it should, I tried different settings for max fight time 2 5 10 sec bring no changes. If the mob can not face the target an break up, he doesnt go the 2 steps back anymore because he hase abort the fight to fast. And that because the mob attacks him, then the bot doesn't wait for the aggro or waits to late, end then the fight ends info comes.

I think the main reason is that the bot has in my case the problem to go in the fight with the correct fight distance. I set 50, but I belive he is 45 or lower when he tries to attack, so the doesnt face the target message comes.

It should be a problem with the server latence? My Ping is under 40ms and the lag with the mob was in the past much bigger then now, also the problem comes with the latest 3.0.3. patch, because I didn't change the bot settings or some other ingame stuff.

[Administrator]

I'll look into improving the aggro detection. Try turning QUICK_TURN on and making sure Click-to-move is enabled. That might help with not facing the target. Can you attach a copy of your log.txt?

[Starrider]

I changed the value to 55, so the facing target problem seems to become better, but the bot still say the target distance should be45 | XXX.

where to find/save the los.txt?

[Administrator]

It's in the MicroMacro main folder.

[Starrider]

inside are only some key settings...

[Administrator]

It will contain a traceback of any error you received. That's why I'm telling you to post it.

[fred55555]

would this also be a fix if you were a pet class Warden with agro issues similar, waypoints are atelast 20-30 from each other not in a group solo with pet
