Any Ideas?

Here's an idea.

Edit your HarvestBot_Navigate_v403.vbs ( would work with 402 I'm sure)
This file will be located in your EQ2HarvestBot folder.

Then, scroll through and look for code:

If UseWayPoints >= MaxWayPoints then
WPIndex = 0
End If



And insert after WPIndex = 0

Sleep 99999 (or something a lot bigger. 200 and you wont hardly notice a delay)

Have one waypoint in your INI.

Now, it will only move, say every 10000 (You will have to play with this number and find out something that works best)

This should minimize your movement.

It is my understanding that nodes spawn randomly within a large specified area and I know the harvestor programs won't harvest the RoI rock since it isn't a node.

Just wondering did you find nodes that spawn in the same spot?

Thanks!

Just about to test this, but I believe the line we are looking for is

If WPIndex >= MaxWayPoints then
WPIndex = 0

couldnt find anything else similar.

Acutally, there's 1 in particular I can think of in Stinking Sands that is always in the same spot.

But even if it moves slightly, the range should fix that.

This seems to work pretty good. I have set the sleep timer to 360000. Just spend the last 4 hours harvesting the same node. Leaves it up for about 20-30s with this timer.

Thanks Tiny!

I got the bot working in wander mode but when I try to set up Waypoints it just runs around them never stopping to harvest anything- ever.

I spent 5 hours goign over this with a fine-tooth comb and can not find a reason it wont stop and harvest. My waypoints look like this:

[The Sinking Sands]
UseWayPoints = true
RelaxedRadius = true
Maxwander= 25
NodeStopType = strict
Numofpoints= 10
waypoint1= -1410, -355, 30
waypoint2= -1387, -473, 30
waypoint3= -1350, -512, 30
waypoint4= -1326, -542, 30
waypoint5= -1364, -602, 30
waypoint6= -1404, -659, 30
waypoint7= -1427, -720, 30
waypoint8= -1399, -783, 30
waypoint9= -1441, -834, 0, direct
waypoint10= -1460, -883, 20
COLLECT = ?
ORE = eroded ore
STONE = sand scoured stone
WOOD = arid timber
SHRUB = parched shrubbery
FUNGI = dune fungi
ROOTS = sun bleached roots
DEN = beast den
FISH = clutch of fish

Keep in mind it WORKs in normal mode so somethign is not right with the waypoints.

HELP PLEASE!

Harvestbot not only doesnt work well for me it crashes my client when I hit the stop button and sometimes when I use Deleate (I dont use F12)

edit: Also have this problem. The bot runs PAST the nodes all the while trying to harvest as it runs. (This is in Wander mode)

This thing is VERY hard to set up.

im lost please anyone can send me an email so i can answaer him btw send me the ini log in german modifications..

ps im bad in english so sorry

What is the spawn timer on nodes? By camping one what can you pull down in a 24hr. time period?

Loraik

I have been camping a spot in PoF, it seems that the nodes spawn between 5minutes and 5 minutes 30 seconds. I have set my sleep timer to 60000 which is one minute. With node jumpers and various other small things that slow down your harvesting I am pulling in about 30 items per hour. I also have found it works a little better if you turn off any speed buffs and even turn off run.

Found the aggro switch. Gonna add a function to get if a mob is aggro to your or not.

That sould help alot of scripts. Ie the author should put in a "mob avoid" type of navigation to avoid aggro mobs.

omfg, for a harvestbot that would be awesome... mmmmmm, harvest... Excellent WyvernX!

double post

Hi guys im having alot of problems getting this up and running? any specific steps to getting it going? i bought this to get the harvester bot but after about 2 weeks of playing with it im still getting nothing. I didnt see any kinds of very detailed walkthroughs after countless hours of looking through the forums. Any help with this? I've made the folder with unleashed on it but cant get the program to run.


I dled the 4.01 bot then i believe i extracted it into the xunleashed folder. Now i have to find the .ini file. where is this?

I have now worked with this for about 4 more hours and still getting nada. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jason
In the folder (xunleashed scripts) where you extracted the Harvestbot there should be a file named
Harvestbot_v4.xx.ini along with one named the same but with the extention .vbs. Edit the ini file. The description in the file is very well laid out IMO. Also there should have been a folder created under scripts also called eq2harvestbot. You dont need to modify this folder or the contents. Hope this helps.
