Harvesting with the bot - How To For Dummies

If your character die and come tombstone. I'm talking about that one.

If your character die and come tombstone. I'm talking about that one.

You didn't tell me what version of the rombot you are using. Version 476 or older will only target objects of type 4 eg. npcs and most clickable objects. It's possible the tombstone is a different type. If you are not using 477 or newer, update then try again.

[wizzyslo]

Updated and still same problem.

[rock5]

Updated and still same problem.

What command are you using?

By the way, how are you getting your script to find the tombstone?

[wizzyslo]

I'm using harvesting command with tombstone ID becouse on wiki didn't find command for pick up tombstone.

I'm using harvesting command with tombstone ID becouse on wiki didn't find command for pick up tombstone.

Try player:target_Object(). Something like;

Code: Select all

player:target_Object(tombstoneid,3000);

I'm not sure how long it takes to pick up the tombstone so you might have to adjust the 3000ms pause. You can read more about the command on the wiki.

The player:harvest() command should only really be used for wood, herbs and ore.

[wizzyslo]

Works now.

Micromacro is just the lua comand interpreter. You still need the lua scripts that make up rombot.
You can find instructions here;
http://www.solarstrike.net/phpBB3/viewt ... f=21&t=163
Ignore anything about downloading and installing the rombot files, instead just create the rom folder in the scripts folder and follow the instructions under "SVN - Always have the newest version".

Thank you for your help

I got it up and runing

Next question I have the Type = Travel because I dont want to kill mobs I just want to harvest.
Problem is mobs still attack and i keep running and harvesting and eventually after getting hit over a period of time i die
is there a type or line i can add that will

Make the character harvest but if attacked kill the mob that is attacking only and then continue harvesting

using a warden helps as pet usually takes agro and kills mobs auto defend, but like i mentioned before the pet dies eventually then the character

let me know

Thnx

make it waypoints Type=Run

[fred55555]

type = RUN

will cast the buffs and still harvest, but it want attack what is attacking the character it just keeps running to the next harvest and then is interupted and so on

druid recover spell says its casting but doesnt cast am i missing something , the briar shield buff works fine

Himm newest SVN? admin just said he fixed this in another thread maybe he will respond I dono beyond that otherwise leave waypoints type blank (normal) and change your profile attack level range to 0 above and below your level it wont attack nothing unless its = level to you this is how i run i am always harvesting in areas with lower level mobs then me and i fight back when aggroed otherwise ignore the rest

[fred55555]

yes updated with the news svn

ill try your next suggestion on +/_ lvl mobs

thnx again for the help

[MiesterMan]

Set the waypoint type to normal and add this to your waypoints file after <waypoints> but before the first waypoint:

Code: Select all

	<onLoad>
		changeProfileOption("TARGET_LEVELDIF_ABOVE", -1);
		changeProfileOption("TARGET_LEVELDIF_BELOW", -1);
	</onLoad>

Hi have downloaded micromacro and it runs great but have same probs as many other guys..

That is not similar to any of the problems in this thread at all. Looks like an outdated/broken copy. Install a new version of MicroMacro.

[zeronight]

Not similar to any???

If I choose one of the demo waypoint instead of the one I made file it works fine.
What I have to do?
By the way, you've made a great job with this bot!!


Take a look for the waypoint file thats behind your selection '1'. Than open that waypoint file with an editor. Compare the contentent with one of the demo files.

I suppose you have an empty file??? You could post the name and content of your file here. And read the wiki how to create your own waypoint files.

ciccione, Sat Jan 30, 2010 9:26 am

This is the waypoint file I created:

harvest.xml:

<waypoints type="TRAVEL">
<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="250" z="-5379">player:harvest();</waypoint>
<!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="396" z="-5333">player:harvest();</waypoint>
<!-- # 3 --><waypoint x="468" z="-5246">player:harvest();</waypoint>
<!-- # 4 --><waypoint x="221" z="-5353"> </waypoint>
</waypoints>

To bypass the problem I overwrited one of the already present and working waypoint file with this text, so now I have a file called "l10t_classhall.xml" but containing the text above, and it works. Still, if I choose a waypoint file with this same text inside but different name it gave me an error. So I suppose the path itself is working but the error has something to do with the name of the waypoint file being scripted somewhere??

That looks very similar to me... but maybe im to blind

Hi.

I had few problems using this bot. I am using rev 494 now.

I am not sure if this has happened to anyone else but i got in loop while hasvesting. There was 2 nodes next to each others that i could not hasvest because i dont have high enough herbalism for it and i didnt event want to harvest it. But bot just tried to harvest those two nodes forever. I just wanted to harvest wood and ore.

Is there way to configure bot that it wont harvest herbs for expamle?

I am using rev 494 just because i think that new fix wont work on rev495 that should fix this aggro problem. When harvesting nodes and enemy attacks you, my char was unable to target that mob and died cause of that. So it was better to to just kill mob and move to second node than self target mob so it would continue to harvest that node where it was harvesting before mob agroed.

I hope this helps to improve this great bot
