Harvesting with the bot - How To For Dummies

[merlinator]

Okay.. so I fixed the first problem, that the bot didn't harvest with your help
But I still have the problem, that the bot attacks every mob and when I change the waypoint type to "Travel" a error message in micromacro appears which says: D:/Runes of Magic/micromacro/lib/mods/xml.lua:336: error closing parser: no element found

I don't understand that I did everything you said ;(

[rock5]

I think it need to be "TRAVEL" or "RUN". I believe "TRAVEL" wont fight back so it might be a bit dangerous. I would use"RUN".

[merlinator]

yeah I know but I don't know where i should write this cause when I write it at the top of the Waypointfile an error message occurs: D:/Runes of Magic/micromacro/lib/mods/xml.lua:336: error closing parser: no element found

it would be nice to have a screenshot or something of a waypointfile with type "Travel" so I know Exactly where I should write this

Try looking at the files in "rom/waypoints/1-10Pioneers" for an example.

Or look at wiki as I said before:

Sorry for technically resurrecting an old topic, even though this is stickied.

I can't get my bot to harvest any resource points. I have waypoint deviation set to 0, range to gather is at 500 and my addresses.lua is green not red.

Despite all this whenever my character reaches a gathering point it says "No resources found" and moves to the next point. I play the game windowed and let the BOT screen remain in the foreground. I spent about 5 hours last night making new waypoint files ranging from 3 waypoints where I knew there would be resources to 150+ waypoints with at least 20 gathering points along the way. Everytime I get the same message.

What am I doing wrong? I'm at work right now but when I get home later I can post more exact details of all my configurations and current files being used.

If someone could just post a small sample of a working harvest waypoint just so I can see what it looks like when it actually works I would appreciate it. I don't want to take anyones hard work and am willing to make my own files. I'm just asking for a small working sample to learn from because clearly I'm missing some small detail preventing this from working for me.

try this, haven't used this in a long time though. should still work fine

Hello, all

so i took the time and created the perfect harvest points... and its starts out great but in the middle it gets a little confusing..

Code: Select all

Moving to waypoint #190, (-1203, -5400)
No nearby harvestables found.
Moving to waypoint #191, (-1194, -5341)
Moving to waypoint #192, (-1184, -5288)
Moving to waypoint #193, (-1204, -5289)
No nearby harvestables found.
Moving to waypoint #194, (-1427, -5300)
Moving to waypoint #195, (-1513, -5304)
Moving to waypoint #196, (-1486, -5464)
No nearby harvestables found.
Moving to waypoint #197, (-1655, -5528)
Moving to waypoint #198, (-1773, -5517)
Moving to waypoint #199, (-1989, -5652)

it actually goes by the waypoints with out harvesting what do i do wrong....

this is from my waypoints file...

Code: Select all

<!-- #  1 --><waypoint x="-1452" z="-6154" y="32">	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  2 --><waypoint x="-1460" z="-6202" y="30">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- #  3 --><waypoint x="-1476" z="-6295" y="31">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- #  4 --><waypoint x="-1470" z="-6400" y="20">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- #  5 --><waypoint x="-1632" z="-6420" y="27">	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  6 --><waypoint x="-1735" z="-6469" y="38">	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  7 --><waypoint x="-1825" z="-6511" y="30">	</waypoint>
	<!-- #  8 --><waypoint x="-1856" z="-6606" y="25">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- #  9 --><waypoint x="-2025" z="-6463" y="34">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- # 10 --><waypoint x="-2309" z="-6581" y="29">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- # 11 --><waypoint x="-2272" z="-6709" y="21">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- # 12 --><waypoint x="-2448" z="-6411" y="96">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- # 13 --><waypoint x="-2701" z="-6450" y="42">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- # 14 --><waypoint x="-2793" z="-6583" y="59">player:harvest();</waypoint>

No nearby harvestables found.

This means either there is nothing to harvest or if there is something to harvest it is further then your distance set in your profile

Code: Select all

		<option name="HARVEST_DISTANCE"		value="120" />

Sounds stupid I know, but no matter how long I have spent staring at it (pioneers examples), I still can't work out why my bot is asking for a return path/return.xml. Can I have the answer for dummies please? I have worked out how to make waypoints at least, and would like to set up something like pioneers for silverspring, with the level requirements as well...

[lisa]

The return path is used if you die and have resurect set to true. If you don't intend to die or if your path goes near the resurection points then you can ignore this message.

[whome]

So if I want to make a waypoint including this option, i need to find the resurrection point in each zone, and create a waypoint file returning me to the zone where I was killed??

[lisa]

just need to go from the resurection point to a spot near any waypoint on the WP you are currently using, the bot will detect it is close to your WP and then start your WP from that spot.

Thanks heaps Lisa for the quick response - great help!! Just one more noob question, what is the RB Command Macro Key for, i press it and nothing happens...... am i supposed to edit it? It appears on my action bar when I load profile....

[rock5]

The RB Command macro is what the bot uses to send and execute ingame functions. It is not for the user to use. It is assigned to an action key so it can be executed by the bot by pressing the corresponding hotkey. Just ignore it.

Thanks rock.....

[testbot]

it's me or the harvesting does not work perfectly? Sometimes when picking it loses the resource, then found, then lost again and ended up leaving. in the logs we can see "found" "not found" ... loop.

Thx for all.

Even though the bot is basically working now, it still doesn't work as well as it used to. I'm currently working on an update that should hugely improve it's performance. Hopefully as good as it used to. Stay tuned.

[testbot]

ok thank you for your great work Rock.

Sorry to revive a dead topic but. My RomBot crashes when i harvest an item. Anyway to avoid it?
