Sat Aug 01 22:12:11 2009 : Execution error: Syntax error

That's what i get when I run rom/bot.lua I started getting this after the SVN update on the 31st. I was wondering if anybody else is getting this error. I looked at line 228 in the bot.lua file but I couldn't figure out anything wrong. No I'm not any good with programing but I did take a full year of it in high school so I'm not that clueless.

This would be the code in the vaccinity of line 228:

if( settings.profile.hotkeys.RES_MACRO ) then
cprintf(cli.red, language[3]);
keyboardPress(settings.profile.hotkeys.RES_MACRO.key);
yrest(5000);

if( player.Level > 10 ) then
cprintf(cli.red, language[4]);
yrest(60000); -- wait 1 minute before going about your path.
end;
player:update();
<<<<<<< .mine
=======

if( not player.Alive ) then
cprintf(cli.yellow, "You are still death. There is a problem with automatic reanimation. Did you set your ingame makro \'/script AcceptResurrect();\' to the key %s?\n", getKeyName(settings.profile.hotkeys.RES_MACRO.key));
pauseOnDeath();
end;

>>>>>>> .r111
end

<<<<<<< .mine
=======
-- print out the reasons for not automatic returning
if( not settings.profile.hotkeys.RES_MACRO ) then
cprintf(cli.yellow, "You don't have a RES_MACRO defined in your profile! Hence no automatic returning.\n");
end

Line 228 is <<<<<<< .mine (unless I misscounted)

As for my earlier problem concerning the bot "studder steping" I managed to fix the problem by turning on quick turn.

Seems like this was already fixed in revision 113. Can you update and try again?

Also, you don't have to count the lines. Just press CTRL+G (in notepad, notepad++, and several other text editors) and type the line number in.

[coldfire201]

Lol thanks for the heads up on notepad. Anyhow I updated to version 113 and I'm still getting the same error.

That '<<<< mine' lines and the '>>>>> R. 111' are coming from the SVN update. Means if the SVN update found a conflict between the SVN and your modification he creates that lines to mark the confilct. That's not valid lua coding. You have to resolve that conflict. Means manualy with the SVN compare editor or by deleting all 'red marked' files and do the SVN update again.

Yes, I also think that's a little unintelligent behaivor. The bot simply tries to come in range. I think the easiest solution would be just try 1 or 2 times to come in range and if not, skip that target? What do you think?

I think thats not it. The point is that although he uses ranged combat he also uses his melee attack. So everytime he tries to strike he runs to the enemy and the enemy steps backwards...
If u skip the enemy u risk to fight agains 4-5 mobs. Just disable the melee attack if ranged combat is used. I think/hope this will be it.

Don't change it in the skills.lua. Just add that option to your skill within your profile and give them the highes priority of your damage skills:

Code: Select all

<skill name="PRIEST_CHAIN_OF_LIGHT" hotkey="VK_R" priority="100" inbattle="false" />

I changed it in my profile just dont wrote it right. But why the priority? the point is that he shouldn't use it in battle

Thank u for ur quick answers.

Do I understand it right? The bot uses the standard attack ( by pressing attack key) and runs to your mob? That will only happen, if you set option 'COMBAT_TYPE' to 'meele'. Or if there is a micconfiguration within your key settings. So what are your class and profile settings?

I suppose 'chain of light' should be your opening cast? So with the high priority, you make sure it is your first damage skill. Normaly the most skills don't have the 'inbattle' option and by that, are usable in and out of combat.

[coldfire201]

Thanks for the help guys. It works now.

[Mrjones]

I know i asked once before but the option seem to have changed for changing scan speed and scan area size for harvesting. Could you help me again with how to change these?

[d003232]

If you have SVN version 110 or greater, you can now use the option:

Code: Select all

	<option name="HARVEST_SCAN_WIDTH" value="15" />		-- steps horizontal
	<option name="HARVEST_SCAN_HEIGHT" value="10" />	-- steps vertical
	<option name="HARVEST_SCAN_STEPSIZE" value="22" />	-- wide of every step
	<option name="HARVEST_SCAN_TOPDOWN" value="false" />	-- true = top->down  false = botton->up
	<option name="HARVEST_SCAN_YREST" value="7" />	-- scanspeed

within your profile to customize it to your needs.

Hm I thought this is a standard setting from the bot. Actually I don't really know why it rans after the mob but what else can it be in a combat. Because he definitly uses the staff to hit the mob. But I'm sure I have entered "ranged" combat style. By the way u said that u have seen the same behaviour of the bot so why do u think it rans after it?

About the CHAIN OF LIGHT thing. I entered the inbattle falue because it SHOULD NOT use this skill during a combat but as u said as a opening spell. The priority is a good thing to avoid the BONE_CHILL beeing the first cast.


I already have a new question (Im really sorry ^_^)
Sometimes I made waypoints that have more then one possible ressurect point when i get killed. That is very bad because the default waypoints are loaded and the bot runs into Nirvana. Now u said that it is possible for the bot to "recognize" what is the nearest waypoint and uses that one. NOW THE QUESTION: Is it possible to use for example 2 or more resurect path? I think of a query that checks every two resurrect waypoints list and uses the one with the nearest waypoint to the place of resurrection.

Just say when I get onto your nerves..

Thanks till now.

Whats your class and how looks your profile? And what is your ingame key for the standard attack? Have you modified settings.xml?

Yea, it is ok to use the flag, just do it in your profile. Then you don't need to modify the skills.lua

Just load your both return path within the waypoint file ath the right waypoints with

Code: Select all

load_paths("","returnpath.xml");

That will overwrites the returnpath from your profile. For more informations about this read here.


Admin edit: fixed load_paths()

I'm currently botting in an area where theres several kinds of mobs
I wish to attack a certain kind of mob only

From reading through your code..
Is seems possible to check the mosnter name b4 attacking

can you instruct me on how to add a new section in the profile for DoNotAttack monsters?
and then the bot.lua can check the profile.donotattack before getting me killed on a boss monster in the area i'm farming =p

Just restart the bot. I suppose thats only a special situation and no common error.

Use:

I have updated several times. i have also downloaded the newest MM and recent up thru SVN. when ever i restart the bot it only takes about 5 to 10 mins before the error happens again. Could it be that i have to ROM's open?

[Administrator]

Turn DEBUG_ASSERT on by setting it to true in rom/bot.lua. Run the scripts again, then when the error happens, post your log again.
