Harvesting with the RoM Bot

There are a few things you should know about harvesting with the RoM Bot:

  • The RoM window have to be in the foreground.
  • You have to create your own harvesting waypoint files. That means you have first to run to every node and save the position of the node

Create a harvesting waypoint file

Start waypoint creator script:

rom/createpath.lua

Now walk to every node, you want later to harvest and press NUM-2. That will save the position of the node and insert the harvest command within the waypoint file. After all nodes, save the file by pressing the NUM-3 button and enter a name (e.g. harvest1-8).

Your waypoint file will look like:

<waypoints>
	<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="-6541" z="4937"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="-6390" z="5210">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- # 3 --><waypoint x="-6421" z="5317">player:harvest();</waypoint>
	<!-- # 4 --><waypoint x="-6281" z="5408"></waypoint>
</waypoints>

Add the waypoint type="TRAVEL" to your waypoint file, if you don't want to target mobs while harvesting:

<waypoints type="TRAVEL">
	<!-- # 1 --><waypoint x="-6541" z="4937"></waypoint>
	<!-- # 2 --><waypoint x="-6390" z="5210">player:harvest();</waypoint>
...

Start the bot with your harvesting path

You can insert the harvesting file within your profile or start the bot directly with your forced new waypoint file:

rom/bot.lua path:harvest1-8

Later editing of your harvesting path

If you want to change your harvesting path, add new nodes or change the position of node, it is recommended to start a second MM window with the createopath script. By doing that, you can edit the waypoint file, while you are using it at the same time in the bot. You also should use an editor with automatic line numbering like Textpad.

Use the RoM ingame addon ygather if you want to remember all available node. Just let the bot run a view rounds around new areas. ygather will remember all nodes around and show them at the map/minimap. You can now create a waypoint file, that also includes the nodes, that are not available at the moment.
