Ok, going with Rock's suggestion on being able to rule out a whole section, I then looked at some option for how to proceed after that. i came up with this:

: Kobold Search Order

The tests I created using excel and placing random kobolds seemed to find all three within 15 checks, but there may be circumstances where it could require more. but this seems like a good order, keeping in mind that after the first step, one of the 4 checks of each following section would not be needed because it was already ruled out.

Here are some other samples I ran:

: Sample 1

edit: It didn't seem to want to allow me to add another attachment. I had 2 more samples of random kobold placement and the steps to locate them. Maybe I'm surpassed my attachment limit? Not sure. Anyway, I'm going to continue on working on the programming to actually do all the work. This will take a while.

Well, so far so good. I've got the basic code done , LUA specific, not ROM). Now I just need to take this and insert all the specific functions and actions for the bot to take advantage of it. I'll probably also add a function so that after round 5 if there are still barrels to check it will check them in order of highest score first.

In this test file, I set 3, 14, & 21 as the barrels with the kobolds inside. I'm also going to test some others as well. Here's a copy of what I've got so far. *** This is a .Lua file, not an xml waypoint file.

Edit:
I fixed a issue where i wasn't updating surrounding barrels properly. I fixed that and made my output a little better to read.

just checked and yeah as someone posted elsewhere the chat to monitor is SYSTEM_MESSAGE, mind you it only took me a few seconds to get it using rocks addon

: koboldmsg.png (59.03 KiB) Viewed 7506 times

I did look at memory for flags but nothing jumped out at me, to be honest it probably has a table generated when you start game and using skill on a barrel calls a function and the table tells the game what message to pop up. Looking for such a table would take a while and at the end of the day it wouldn't be needed really, just do the event as a challenge

Posted: **Wed Oct 07, 2015 9:09 am**

Ok folks, I seem to have it working. I ran 4 tests and all 4 passed with the following results:

Run 1: 18 barrels to win, Barrels with Kobolds: 21, 17, 10
Run 2: 13 barrels to win, Barrels with Kobolds: 4, 1, 8
Run 3: 16 Barrels to win, Barrels with Kobolds: 22, 1, 14
Run 4: 13 Barrels to win, Barrels with Kobolds: 22, 19, 18

Feel free to give it a try and give me some feedback.

Update: well while running 2 clients at once (not both doing this script, just one) I did run into it trying to use the action buttons before cool down was up so I'm going to adjust it a bit.

I think it more likely that that information is stored on the server.

No worries. We got a script to help us complete it now without digging into memory.

Although, that one for the Juice Olympics might be a different story (the one with the image of the arrow pointing either up, down, left, or right). Unless we can see an orientation or angle of the image it shows on screen in order to decide which Extra Action Item to click. I do know the object (Arrow) is not a physical object within the game world because regardless of where you turn, look, or move, it continues to show on your screen until the event is over. Any ideas of how to check that?

It's on Varanas bridge but it will use travelTo if you're not near it.

Well I can tell you there is no object, so the arrow doesn't exist in the world. So won't be able to find any pawn info for it.
The current score can be found at Client.exe+5FE844
There are a few other things in memory around it but it didn't seem like any was an indicator of arrow but 2 did look like pointers which could lead to something, 1 minute timer makes things hard to track down on my old laptop.

If you are curious these are the arrows used

can somebody here help me? i cant get the server for a day or the crazy bartender waypoint to work for me
the bot works fine on other stuff, so its not a general problem with the bot, but just with this waypoint

it starts up fine, accepts the quest and starts the event, but then does nothing
the stuff the villagers say is not printed in my chat at all, they just have the speach bubbles above their head
this line in the waypoint is supposed to monitor the "say" chat: EventMonitorStart("CBSay", "CHAT_MSG_SAY");
but since its not actually printed in my chat, it cant be monitored, right?

is there any way to fix this?^^ or am i just missing something?

it doesn't matter what your chat settings are, the text is still sent to say regardless of whether you can see it or not.

More than likely you just need the addon d303fix, just do a forum search it has been mentioned many times when people can't get event monitoring to work.

hmm i already have that

and "andor training" and eoj waypoints work fine and they use the eventmonitor as well...
but whatever, the juicefestival games take like 5 minutes to do manually, so its not that big of a problem
