-------Launching & Setup of Crafting Bot !!-------

Step 1: Launch VanGuard once in game hit ALT+Enter
this will minimize into window mode and allow u to work outside of the game to launch other programs.Once in windowed mode do not move the window around for this will mess up your Waypoints when setting up script. Also in game u need to goto settings and then Interface and check lock interface then click on accept so will save the change.

Step 2: Launch VGExtreme once open , click on File then select Open Project. from there you will choose Craftingbottweaked.

Once you have opened this script you will notice the writing at the top telling you to import Navigation, VGServices, and VGCrafting
to do so go back to File top left and select Open Source then choose each of these one at a time till there all open now your VGExtreme Window should look like this ....................Picture to come soon........................

With the tweaks ive made you will want to make your hot keys be set up like this..........................goto Settings in game, then to Interface tab, then scroll down to Additional Hotbars and Checkmark Hotbar Right. Once you have done that click on accept. Now you will notice that you have a hotbar on screen u never had before this is the hotbar you will use for this Bot. at top of keyboard you have numbers 1 to 0 and - and = at the end of them numbers.
Right Click on key = to make Macro as Name put 1 then in the text are below type this ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Global Hook is comeing up as Unable to find page. Only reason I mention this is that I would like to make sure I am downloading the right program.

Also, Thanks a TON for this walkthrough!

I have been going through and figureing out how to setup and I belive I have it step up to the point where it would work, however, when it attempts to walk to the WO guy, it gets itself all stuck up. When it turns, it seems to turn short. A beging turn of 90 deg would fix this, but I have NO clue how to fix it to where it would do this. If you can walk me through that I would greatly appreciate it!

make sure your movement is set up like so. W= Forward A=Turn Left S=Reverse D=Turn right

Ive gotten it to setup with my UI, gotten it running, and all seems fine...two problems it seems to have

1) it seems like it cant read the skill set and difficulty of the WOs, as it just scrolls down until it hits bottom, and tries to keep going down, never accepting any.

2) If I manually accept a WO, it can go to the bench, opens it up...all seems fine. Does step one. Reaches step two, and errors out.

Error Line 234, Char:12 :: Type mismatch: 'Crafting_StepName

then stops. Any ideas?

*edit* saw a possible solution to 2...going to take a look

think i found my problem...vgcrafting.vbs does not have such a function. I know enough coding to get myself in trouble, but not enough to develop it myself. Is this something i missed in adding in? Or is the script i have just out of date for some reason?

Not sure if these are code errors, or just weird occurances on my end. Made a few alterations to the code of the bot.

1) when it finishes a WO, it tries to start the next one too early. Made a sleep line in there to have it stop for a moment, allowing it to loot and continue properly. No affect if you dont have this problem, other than slowing you down a bit.

2) when starting, it clicks 0,0 after opening the bench so it fails to open the WO + sign. Added a second WO + click to remedy. No affect if you dont have this problem.

3) Tool actions quality are set to 0 as i found quite often it hung up and couldnt change toolbelts to get the tool needed to raise quality. Utility Action quality is set for A quality in this.

As usual, it utilizes the Hotkey setup above, and if you want these additions for your own, global hook your click locations.

Just figured i could give back for the work done in setting this up to begin with.

Maybe I'm not meant to use bots or something...but I've follow all the steps to the letter and I still can't get this thing to work. It gives me "Error: Line: 139, Char: 0 :: File Not Found" I'm confused, and I also can't seem to get VGExtreme running, it brings up that really annoying "Program Failed to Initiate do you want to send a report?" message. Any and all help is welcome and if I'm a lost cause please be patient

marine,

First, try to run the VG Extreme Radar. No configuration is necessary and it will verify VGExtreme is working on your system.

If that works fine and you still can't get bashes bot to work, try the bot I posted here: http://www.taultunleashed.com/phpbb2/about55970_VSOH_Advanced_Crafting_Bot_v_beta__update.html

and follow the setup instructions.
