HarvestBot 3.10 : EverQuest 2 Premium Discussions

[redman]

Speaking of botlike navigation... consider this.

Right now when it heads to the next LOC on your path, it runs to the center of that circle, then heads to resources in priority order. This can result in some odd looking behaviour. To an observer... it runs to an arbitrary spot, then it turns radically, perhaps completly reversing course and proceeds to clear out all of one type of resource in an area. Then it grabs the second resource and so on. If your the observer's camp happened to be right at that center point over the course of time, they'd see you return to exactly that same spot repeatedly and do a similar pivot.

I think I read somewhere above about harvesting based on proximity rather than priority, basically equal prioritys, just most efficient movement. This will make the movement a bit more natural looking.

Another possible change... Rather than going to the center of the circle, go to the point where you JUST enter the circle and start harvesting within the circle from that point.

Advantages:
- Less total distance to travel
- More natural looking

Disadvantages:
- If the zone you are harvesting in has a radar range of only 100, you would have to keep your circles under 50 in size or risk not being able to see some harvesables which were on the far side of the circle when you stop on the near side to decide where to go. A fix for this one would be to proceed to the center if you don't see anything on radar from the side.

See the attached if my words are confusing.

Yea, and I look at the code, it get's the zone name from the service and checks it's length, that's it, there is no room for me to have done something to the zone name to mess it up. The service on your machine isn't returning it correctly. I would consider a reinstall of the service or XU

Well it's working now. I reinstalled XU and EQ service and everything is working fine. Thanks for your help and awesome job on the script. I love it.

Hehehe, half you already have, check your INI, it's default is ClosestFirst, assuming you are using the latest bot, the second I have solved with a different tac, I start looking for the next node to harvest while still running to the waypoint and alter course as needed to avoid hitting the center, the last part I'm still putting the final touches on but again the speed increase is great. The only time the bot stops running is to harvest or to make a full 180 turn around which happens very rarely.

Cool, sounds like VERY smooth round non-bot like turns in open areas. In that case though there may be problems where TIGHT navigation of obstacles is required.

Putting a point with zero radius on either side of the tight spot would help, but with no stopping, you'd overshoot the point and take a wide turn An easy solution to this would be to either...

Have the bot stop at zero radius spots, get a precise heading, and then proceed.

OR even better and more flexable...

Add a new "-1" radius setting or the word "Stop" in the radius spot to force a stop.

With this thinking... here is an example of two harvest areas where you want to pass through an intermediat nav point at 200,300 making a 90 degree turn.

A nicely rounded corner nav only spot between two harvest areas=
waypoint5 = 200, 150, 50
waypoint6 = 200, 300, 0
waypoint7 = 600 300, 50

Navigation through a TIGHT spot for 50 either side of the corner.
waypoint5 = 200, 150, 50
waypoint6 = 200, 250, STOP
waypoint7 = 200, 300, STOP
waypoint8 = 250, 300, 0
waypoint9 = 600 300, 50

(Side note it doesn't need to stop at 8 because it got a good heading leaving point 7 and don't care what happens once past 8.)

Why I mentioned the "tight" navigation is I know that with the first versions of harvester after wyvern's there were folks that were very apprciative of extremely tight navigation. I don't know where they are harvesting but it's likely a "good" spot.

I haven't found a need for hardcore tight navigation, but I know the need exists.

Well I've waited to try this fearing it would be buggy for me like the last version was and wanted to wait till I had time off before trying it...All I'd like to say is.....

[align=center] AWESOME JOB WATCHER! [/align]

Love the new features, way he turns for next node, pause for tell and ring when tell and many more!

Keep up the GREAT work!

Back to looking for bugs!

I still need help, I reinstalled xunleashed and the eq2 service, and the harvester 3.10.

This is what the log says even though im sure it wont help, but im out of ideas. When i hit start on the scripts harvester 3.10 it just says press f12 to stop and does nothing.

Looks like you are using the default path from the script to where you have Everquest installed on your puter....sure isn't the path on my puter and I'm sure for most. This is more like the default path when installing Everquest:
C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\

Try changing the EQ2Path if it's not where Everquest folder is.

I fixed what you mentioned, tried again, the script window says script running press f12 to stop. And there are yellow letters on my screen that say

Attempting to stop scripts, please wait.

[h4lc0n]

I just tried this new version and I have to say I love the changes. Anyways, I started the script and looked how it was working for 5 minutes, then my char arrived to a fence witch it had to jump to pass by.
Previous versions (and I suppose this one is also supposed to) stopped the char, moved backwards one or two steps, moved forwards and jumped.
Mine seems to stop itself, but then it auto-runs backwards (it also jumps, but backwards ). I discovered that if you hit S (my backwards button) and then you hit {NUMLOCK} (my autorun key) seems it begins auto-moving backwards. I'm not sure if this has been a recent change or what, but I didn't know this worked this way.

I hope you can find a fix to this, thank you very much!

Try putting this line back in instead of deleting it. I left mine and changed it to false and that's the only thing I could see that might be wrong with your setup.

Am I not seeing the buff part of the ini setup you copied for us? Hopefully you left that out on purpose.

I haven't found a need for hardcore tight navigation, but I know the need exists.
[/quote]

Where I'm doing my testing of the navigation routines the bot has to go through 2 doorways with no doors so it's pretty tight there, part of it is carefull placement of waypoints and being aware that if the bot is over 90 degrees off of target it will stop and turn.

[quote="minor723";p="66134"]I still need help, I reinstalled xunleashed and the eq2 service, and the harvester 3.10.

This is what the log says even though im sure it wont help, but im out of ideas. When i hit start on the scripts harvester 3.10 it just says press f12 to stop and does nothing.

Ok, first, with big posts like that you may want highlight all of the current file and press the code button or put, code and /code wrapped in square braces so that your posts don't take pages in length.

Second I don't see any errors or any log file so I'm guessing that you never started the script, did you put something behind any buttons you are pressing so that you can press them for real? I'm no XU expert so there are more qualified people here than me to handle the non script questions... (maybe the script questsions too 8^))
