Vanguard Bot - VGExtreme Scritping Service : VGExtreme General Discussion - Page 26

Ohh, I see. Ok let me try to nail that down.

Also, I think I have a way to optimize the memory reads. I'm goign to cache all things that dont change. Ie like a mob Name. I'm gonna create a name cache object and do a name lookup in the cache instead of a memory read. I think those kinds o things will help alot on busy areas.. ie town.

anyone have any ideas why ultrabot script would halt on:

Call objCommandWindow.SetCommand(commandStr & " -> " & master & " (" & priority & ") - " & visualExecuting, i)

when a command is sent to bot, ie to follow. tried it on both pc's with the same results. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Anyone else getting the memory parsing error when starting VGE?

I've seen it a couple of times. I think I have a initialize routine that isnt fully thread safe and the default catch loop catches it when I load in my memory locations as a memory error. I cant reproduce it every time so it makes it hard to track down.

Ok, I will try a reboot. I get it every time I start VGE today for some reason.

I'll add a more detailed error message to help track it down.

The reboot seemed to fix it... I might have had a debugging process still running in the background. Was doing some VG RE.

Mine gives me the memory error everytime My macro dies and logs out of game. I reload VG but the macro does not move correctly. So I exit VGextreme and when I try to reload it, I get the memory error. I have to restart my machine to fix it.

When I added the stuff that deals with log files it got where I would have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and shutdown vgextreme all the time.

Then there was a patch to VGExtreme that was suppose to fix that issue.

I made sure everyting on the bot I did was closing files when it exited and added the ability to make the script end and close files instead of exiting the program.

Since then I have had to REBOOT to make the bot work proper, sometimes you get an memory error but most of the time you do not but the bot does not work right.

I'm pretty sure this has to do with opening LOG files and whatever was added to VGExtreme to make sure it cleaned up programs opening log files.

Maybe this will help track down the problem.

I'm having troubles getting this thing started. When I try to run VGExtreme it says that I'm missing mscoree.dll. Please re-install the application. I have no idea what I have to do. I've searched the forums, looked over these threads and I keep getting nothing. Is there an application I need to run to get this to work?

Hey wyvernx, I have the same scenario as logicbomb. If VG crashes, or if I close VG before VGE, I have to reboot before VGE will load again. I checked in the task manager and VGE is not running. I was wondering if the timeout fix for the Wrapper may be causing the problem.

Hmm.. it is possible. But when vge unloads it should unload any IPC objects. Is there a way to reproduce it every time so I can test?

Ie is it just i close VG with vge running? do I have to log out? THen close vge or load up VG and then try to restart vge?

It could be the VGDump.dll which logs chat messages if you are using it. Because it is injected into the vg process and may not actually die. Just not sure at this point. But if I can reproduce it, i can fix it.

I can reproduce it with these steps:

1) Load VG and log in toon
2) Load VGE
3) Load and run Radar
4) Close VG by pressing 'X' window control
5) Stop the Radar in VGE
6) Close VGE
7) VGE closes but has to be killed using task manager
8) Reload VG and log in toon
9) Try to start VGE again

Hope that helps track it down :)
