Taking too long to damage target

#1 Post by McGuffin » Tue Jun 25, 2013 12:37 am

I have recently noticed that the bot is throwing this during fights that take longer than 10 seconds. The target is being damaged yet the bot still disengaged, backs up and re-engages. I have changed my max fight time to 15 but it still stops at 10 seconds. Also, MM window does show the target's HP dropping.

As far as I can see it only breaks if it has been more than MAX_FIGHT_TIME since the start of the fight and MAX_FIGHT_TIME since the last damage was done. So if MAX_FIGHT_TIME has passed but you are still doing damage then it shouldn't break. And if you change MAX_FIGHT_TIME to 15s then it shouldn't break for 15s. Are you sure you set the value properly? Also, are you using an older bot that might be using different code or are you using the latest?

MAX_FIGHT_TIME
That profile option, for me atleast, ends the fight if it has been longer than that value after first attacking the mob and it is still alive. It has never been about damage to target for me, ever.

If I do instances I set that value to 60, if I don't do instances I leave it at 20.

This is how it's used now. There are 2 parts to it.

Code: Select all

if getGameTime() - self.fightStartTime > settings.profile.options.MAX_FIGHT_TIME then
and

Code: Select all

if target.LastDamage == 0 or (getGameTime() - self.LastHitTime) > settings.profile.options.MAX_FIGHT_TIME then
So if it's doing damage it shouldn't break but it's possible LastHitTime is not working properly. I seem to remember it sometimes behaved strangely. I'll check if it still works.

ok just before the check for max fight time I added this

Code: Select all

			target:updateLastDamage()
			self:updateLastHitTime()
			print(getGameTime() - self.LastHitTime)
Made a new char and just did the human WP that comes with bot, this is results.

Code: Select all

Engaging enemy [Wolf Cub] in combat.
0.20100000000002
Moving in | Suggested range: 50 | Distance: 67
Use MACRO: ROGUE_SHADOWSTAB    =>   Wolf Cub (180/180)
Use MACRO: ROGUE_LOW_BLOW      =>   Wolf Cub (157/180)
3.3869999999997
Use MACRO: ROGUE_SHADOWSTAB    =>   Wolf Cub (101/180)
Use MACRO: ROGUE_LOW_BLOW      =>   Wolf Cub (85/180)
6.3989999999999
Use MACRO: ROGUE_SHADOWSTAB    =>   Wolf Cub (45/180)
Use MACRO: ROGUE_LOW_BLOW      =>   Wolf Cub (0/180)
even though I am clearly hitting the mob the time is going up.

So then I added a print in the update function

Code: Select all

	print("last hit "..self.LastHitTime)
	print("fight start "..self.fightStartTime)
Last hit seems to always be 0 and so the value gets set to the fight start time

Code: Select all

last hit 0
fight start 3034.805
0.21199999999999
Moving in | Suggested range: 50 | Distance: 199
Use MACRO: ROGUE_SHADOWSTAB    =>   Young Bear (208/232)
Use MACRO: ROGUE_LOW_BLOW      =>   Young Bear (173/232)
last hit 0
fight start 3034.805
7.7020000000002
Use MACRO: ROGUE_SHADOWSTAB    =>   Young Bear (143/232)
Use MACRO: ROGUE_LOW_BLOW      =>   Young Bear (118/232)
last hit 0
fight start 3034.805
10.753
last hit 0
fight start 3034.805
10.753
Taking too long to damage target, breaking sequence...
So I checked the address
charLastHitTime = 0xA410FC,
and it was always 0, never changed.
Nearest address that did change was 0xA41120

Seems to work. On white damage it works fine. I noticed with skills that if it one-hit kills the mob it doesn't update the hit time but that shouldn't be a problem.

I just set up a character so it needed about 10 Rising Tides to kill a mob, that's about 20s, had no problems.

You also get the "taking too long to damage target" message if it fails to damage the target 4 skills in a row. If that's the case try increasing MAX_SKILLUSE_NODMG. Just add it to your profile, if you don't already have it, and set it to a larger number than 4.

Edit: Sorry Lisa, didn't see you posted. The fact that your memory always shows 0 is curious. When you browse to that memory area does the right side look something like this?

I'll try what you did with a rogue and see what happens.

Similar, it has the under attack id and onwards.

i used a rogue for testing and put on the crappy weapon so fights were taking a good 20 seconds at times, so lots of times for white hits, maybe it is just with casters?

Nope, even with rogue it always updates. I even tried removing all addons just in case it was somehow coming from an addon. It still updated.

There has to be some difference between your setup and mine. Are you using Windows 7 64bit? Is there any chance that some thing you've excluded using the model files is stopping it working? Or maybe it's an addon you are using that I'm not using that is interfering with the normal functioning of that memory. These seem far fetched but they are all I can think of.

thats on win7 32bit, I haven't updated any 64bit machines and to be honest I didn't intend to.

I took out all addons except d303fix and the ingamefunctions, it was still the same.

Are you sure you don't have an addon that is adding combat details or messages?

I took out all addons including d303fix only leaving igf. How about my idea about the model files?

My setup is on a x64 but operating in XP SP3 compat mode. Not a slim client and all models/textures are active. I do have the SimpleDamageLog addon as well as d303fix and PBInfo. Not sure what other addons would affect combat.

I'm running our of ideas. Maybe we could look at the address, that the code that writes to memory, uses. I found it here.

Code: Select all

printf("%X\n",memoryReadInt(getProc(),0x80CF05))
Open the commandline and execute that and see what you get. You should get A410FC but if you get something else maybe that will be the correct address for you and we could use that pointer to find the correct address for each user.

So that means the code that writes to that address is there but is just doesn't run. Why wouldn't it run? This is beyond me I think.

well atleast it defaults to fight start time when it is 0, which is what you would expect as a back up when it fails.

Just means we have to assume that profile option is for the max fight time and nothing to do with damage to mob.

Maybe we could use a different address. I found one that increments with the total amount of damage you have done to the target. I could make that work although I would have to keep track of the value and last time it changed. The beauty of lasthittime was that I didn't need to record any values.

Can you check this address while fighting. Does it increment? 0xA06A38

I think we should just forget about it then. For those that the code works, they don't have to worry. The user for who it doesn't work will have to add time to MAX_FIGHT_TIME if they need it and don't want it to break on those long fights.
