You can also gather perfectly with that bot. Just create a gather waypoint file with 'rom/createpath.lua'. That will automaticly insert the

Code: Select all

player:harvest();

function within your waypoint file. More about that see here.

a suggestion for a waypoint list

thats a good idea but i think the condition part should be placed in the waypointlist file itself. so it will gain more dynamic.

like:

Code: Select all

<waypointlist>
	<waypointfile name="level_1-3.xml">if (player.Level > 3) then WaypointList:loadNext(); end</waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_goto_4.xml">WaypointList:loadNext();</waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_4-5.xml">...</waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_goto_7.xml">...</waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_7-8.xml">if (player.Level > 8) then Player:logout(); end</waypointfile>
</waypointlist>

so everytime it finishes one waypoint cycle it checks the condition(s) required. if it/they is/are met the script executes the instruction (load next waypoint file, logout, etc...).

	<waypointfile name="level_4-5.xml">...</waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_goto_7.xml">...</waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_7-8.xml">if (player.Level > 8) then Player:logout(); end</waypointfile>
</waypointlist>

Yea, think that would help the noob users a little. If we could avoid the necessity to manuel edit the waypoint file and insert lua code. At least for a standard situation like change the path after gaining a level.

And at the same time we have to take a look to the ingame situation. We start the bot and we have selected a waypointlist. What should be the benefit of that functionality?

For me it is:

• you don't have to select your waypointfile manualy. The bot will do that. And, because that is depening from the player position, that have to be the criteria to select a waypoint file
• If your level is below a waypoint file, the bot have to use the lower one to find the way to the final place

By doing that a waypointlist could looke like this:

Code: Select all

<waypointlist>
	<waypointfile name="level_1-3.xml"   maxlevel="3" ></waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_goto_4.xml"></waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_4-5.xml"   maxlevel="5" ></waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_goto_7.xml maxlevel="7" ></waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_7-8.xml"   maxlevel="8" ></waypointfile>
</waypointlist>

So the only functionality is to use 'maxlevel' for automaticly change the path. And is is used to determin at beginning, with path is our goal. I'm not sure if it is practicabeo to alow lua code inside. And how comlex it would be to implement that. I suppose a easy waypointlist wouldn't need to much code changes.

Ehm When i make the gather bot he use fast loot or slow like normal because in youtube is a bot that farms in miliseconds the things

The gather 'speed' is just limited by the client. 5 sec for each 'item' to gather.

	<waypointfile name="level_goto_4.xml"></waypointfile>

	<waypointfile name="level_7-8.xml"   maxlevel="8" ></waypointfile>
</waypointlist>

no, it's not just for "noobish" players. it's a lot more dynamic while being simple at the same time. let's not make it that static as you suggest. what if i don't want to switch the waypoint at level x but after 1 hrs of botting or after x kills?

more dynamic example:

Code: Select all

<waypointlist>
   <waypointfile name="one.xml">if (player:loggedin()>2hours) then WaypointList:load("three"); end</waypointfile>
   <waypointfile name="two.xml">if (player:level()>45) then WaypointList:load("seven"); end</waypointfile>
   <waypointfile name="three.xml">if (player:loggedin()>4hours) then WaypointList:load("two"); end</waypointfile>
   ....
   <waypointfile name="seven.xml">if (player:killcount()>500) then player:logout(); end</waypointfile>
</waypointlist>

a suggestion for a waypoint list:

There would be an option:

Code: Select all

<option name="PATH_TYPE"              value="waypointlist"/>
<option name="WAYPOINTS"              value="list_level_1-10.xml" />

and the list would look like:

Code: Select all

<waypointlist>
	<waypointfile name="level_1-3.xml"></waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_goto_4.xml"></waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_4-5.xml"></waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_goto_7.xml"></waypointfile>
	<waypointfile name="level_7-8.xml"></waypointfile>
	...
</waypointlist>

If you start the bot somewhere, he will look for the closest waypointpath from the list and start with that path. If that path is to low for your level, your will check the player.Level in each file

Code: Select all

<waypoint x="-3861" z="-7817">
	if( player.Level > 3 ) then
		load_paths("level_goto_4");
  	end
	</waypoint>

and the bot will follow the paths, until he is at the right place.

What do you think out there?

That sounds good to me. I also tried to do a checkout in a file were all my waypoints are included with my botstarter programm but since I'm not the best programmer I did't get the waypoints out of that list to compare them. But your suggestion looks much better.
But for me and my botstarter it "would be enough" to start the waypoint depending on the level. I already have the level querys in my waypoint files so that the bot runs from the start place (Level 1) up to silverfall. But as I said when then the Bot is restartet and the startwaypoints are loaded everything is scraped.
So If u can realize your suggestion I definitly would prefer this!

Thanks for thinking about it.

</waypointlist>

Yes you're right. I suppose at with a higher leverl char, the reason to change places is not so much the player level (simply becaus you need mostly more time for a level up then the duration of your botting session). It is more often the wish to switch between places to look not so botish. I will try to look deeper into a solution the next days. And I'm skeptical about a solution with an additional lua coding place. There are a lot of lua possibilities with the waypoint file, and also the special places <onLeaveCombat> in the profile is a good place for a 'metacoding' above different waypoint files. Perhaps we can simply do something by having the possibility to access a waypoint list. Already now you could insert 'waypointfiles' as user options:

Code: Select all

<option name="USER_WAYPOINTS_1"              value="level_1-3.xml" />
<option name="USER_WAYPOINTS_2"              value="level_4-5.xml" />
<option name="USER_WAYPOINTS_3"              value="level_6-8.xml" />
<option name="USER_WAYPOINTS_4"              value="level_1-10.xml" />

and access them in own lua coding?

Thanks to your sugesstions D. I worked something out thats fine for me so my bot always get the nearest waypoint. Thank u very much!

well, yeah that's another solution if you want to pack it in one file. so you could still place the waypointlist in the profile like:

Code: Select all

<waypointlist>
   <waypointfile name="foo" file="one.xml" />
   <waypointfile name="bar" file="two.xml" />
   <waypointfile name="hello" file="three.xml" />
   ....
   <waypointfile name="world" file="seven.xml" />
</waypointlist>

and then later in the profile do something like:

Code: Select all

<onLeaveCombat>
   if (WaypointList:name()=="foo" and WaypointList:getCurrentWaypoint()==__LAST and Player:level > 45) then WaypointList:switchTo("bar"); end
</onLeaveCombat>

i mean i can understand your concerns about having like 10 places one can implement "metacoding" like you call it. but on the other hand maybe it's not that wrong at all? still two little words remain: more flexibility

[memcpy]

another great addition to the flexibility would be to have the option to specify settings for each waypointfile. thus overriding the default ones.

like you have in your profile

Code: Select all

<option name="LOOT"               value="true" />
<option name="LOOT_IN_COMBAT"     value="true" />
<option name="LOOT_DISTANCE"      value="100" />
<option name="LOOT_PAUSE_AFTER"   value="10" />

but in your waypointfile you declare other loot settings which may be better for this specific path you are botting.

simply said: override profile settings if set in waypointfile.

example 1:

Code: Select all

<waypoints>
		<option name="LOOT"               value="true" />
		<option name="LOOT_IN_COMBAT"     value="false" />
		<option name="LOOT_DISTANCE"      value="100" />
		<option name="LOOT_PAUSE_AFTER"   value="30" />
	<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="-4213" z="9534"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="-4196" z="9693"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 3 --><waypoint x="-4160" z="9800"></waypoint>
</waypoints>

example 2:

Code: Select all

<waypointlist>
   <waypointfile name="foo" file="one.xml">
		<option name="LOOT"               value="false" />
		<option name="LOOT_IN_COMBAT"     value="false" />
		<option name="LOOT_DISTANCE"      value="100" />
		<option name="LOOT_PAUSE_AFTER"   value="30" />
   </waypointfile>
   <waypointfile name="bar" file="two.xml" />
   <waypointfile name="hello" file="three.xml" />
   ....
   <waypointfile name="world" file="seven.xml" />
</waypointlist>

<option name="LOOT_PAUSE_AFTER"   value="10" />

but in your waypointfile you declare other loot settings which may be better for this specific path you are botting.

With any changes you could do a hard overwrite by yourselfe, just with e.g.:

Code: Select all

settings.profile.options.LOOT = false;

wihtin the waypoint file. I didn't test that, but as I understand the coding, it should work. But there would be no restore within a session, if you load a new path. Thinks that one more point for 'the list'.

Hi there is a huge error in the skill

Code: Select all

<skill name="ROGUE_PREMEDITATION" energy="20" type="buff" target="self" inbattle="false" />

The Bot cast this again and again and doesn't do anything else..

I suppose there is the cooldown parameter missing? What says the tooltip?

I suppose you have a mix of old files and new SVN. It seems that you have an old language file. Just delete all files & folders in 'micromacro/scripts/rom' except the folders 'waypoints' and 'profiles' and repeat the update.

[akira2102]

this skill has no cooldown thats the problem. It should be used only before starting a fight.
