EQ2 Bot: UltraBot Version 1.0, Hunter and Buff Bot : EverQuest 2 Nerfed Info

[slam666]

Dec 11, 2005

New version,

Ok some stuff changed and read the following carefully.

First copy the file eq2ui_hud_choice.xml in your UI directory.
This mod make it so you can just hit ENTER to different choice window that appear, like loot lore item, ressurection etc.
Also you need to change the key for your chat, normaly its ENTER and you need to change it to [
With that mod you dont need to bother with putting in coordinate for looting lore item window.

Second I add a new variable, LogOutWhenYouDie
If you want to log out when you die just put true, if not false
This will be use mainly when I implement the ressurection part.

Third I add some code so you can pause the script at more places (this was done in MegaBot 2.9, not release yet

I also fixed the bug about looting chest, now you will loot chest like you use to.


Thing to come:
- add ressurection
- add harvesting


==========================================

Hi,

I am starting this new thread for my script based on Rich Megabot.

This script is based on version 2.8 of Megabot with the following modification:

1- You can now set navigation point (up to 100) to move your bot. At each spot your bot will fight until there is no more mob then move to next location, you can also set a minimum timer to stay at the location even if there is no mob to fight.

2- Change the way the buffbot react to attack, if he is attacked he will ask the hunter bot to assist him.

3- If you ask the buff bot to not follow you he will stay there and come to help for the fight, then go back to his spot.

4- I included a modified version of makepath to help you set your waypoint.

NOTE: This is a work in progress, it is not 100% full proof, so if you are starting to use a hunter bot i suggest to use Megabot for now. If you used Megabot in the past and would like to check out those new features go ahead!

Things I am implementing in next version:

a) Add harvesting. I want to set it up so you can choose to harvest while hunting or to harvest and defend yourself if attack.

Posting this for both Mega and Ultra as they use the same base script.

Lewting on uneven surfaces or when mobs are in the air (dead) are being skipped. My offensive bot only lewts stuff that appear to be on flat to almost flat surfaces. No idea how this works just reporting what I noticed after turning lewting on in PoF. I almost missed out on several named Heroic mobs lewt had I not been sitting watching.

I spent about 5 hours this weekend watching them.


I would also like to suggest an additional tag for healer bots so you can select in the .ini file if it is a healer or not and if a healer they react faster to heals instead of finishing their combat list to heal. After watching for hours I notice my offensive bot gets to heal % and below but my buffbot spends his time casting damage spells before moving to heal mode. Having a healing tag would make it so above all he heals then combat when everyone is at ok health levels. Hope that makes sence..

Looting work is easy, it just move the mouse on the screen and hope to get the loot. The window it use to move the mouse is not too big so yes it miss mob that are in the air or in wierd place. I didnt really check how to improve that yet, but I will look into it.

I will also look into the healer part.

[loraik]

Yes I know "how" it works but I guess what I am trying to say is it is not detecting the chest/corpse to start the lewting procedure if on an uneven slope BUT in view and next to the lewting bot.

Loraik

[slam666]

ok now I understand, I will check the code to see if there is anything I can change, as long as the chest/corpse is in the list it should get it, maybe the function to get the list miss some, if so I gonna have to talk to Wyvernx about it.

[slam666]

Loraik,

did you test the navigation more?

Also in the code I posted in this tread I fixed the follow of buffbot when you change location.

[loraik]

Slamm i also got this error several times about 45 min+ into running the script, I sent it ahead to Wyvernx to see what the cause is but going to post the arse end of the XU log here so you can see it:

'[propget, id(33), helpstring("property MobDifficulty")] HRESULT MobDifficulty([in] LONG SpawnID, [out, retval] LONG* pVal);
function getMobDifficulty(ByRef obj, SpawnID) '//Returns the Mob Difficulty rating for a given ID
on error resume next
obj.UpdateData
getMobDifficulty = obj.MobDifficulty (SpawnID)
if Err.Number <> 0 then
getMobDifficulty = -5 'Defaults to -5 which is Items, -4 = Players, 0 = normal mobs, 8 = ^, 9= ^^ etc)
end if
on error goto 0
end function

Do you have the bottom of your megabot log file? Wanna see if it crash in a function or something.

[slam666]

Only error I got so far while running my code was after several hour it would crash in a function that calculate angle, trying to find why but this append very rarely.

Other one I got is hunter bot got stuck in a loop saying it was stuck I think it has to do with a timer, I made some change and will see if I get that error again.

Here is the bottom of that log file:

I don't see anything odd it appears to just up and stop.

[slam666]

Yes that is the same error I am getting, last line is "In CalcTargetAngle", since some of the log are not written when the script crash, maybe script dont have time to flush the buffer before it crash its hard to know where exactly it crash, the script goes into that function a lot so I am assuming its either somewhere else that crash or that it crash only rarely because of the coordinate it get. I am investigating that.

[slam666]

Eheh call me dumb but I never looked at the xu client log file, smack me, but it seem the error is cause by the function sqr, so that should give me enough info to find the problem tonight.

[loraik]

It did it three times this weekend and only once while I was monitoring it as if to see me walk away from the monitor and flip me the bird and crash as I stumbled away to bed. Then my healer being the wuss he is can't solo these so he dies and leaves me standing there with my pet but pet can solo pretty much all but named mobs out there so I am normally safe.

Loraik

[slam666]

Yes I witness the same thing, watch my bot running for 4-5 hours, everything good then go to bed, wake up in the morning, either I am dead or log off, when I check the log I get that error and always like 30 min after I went to bed, its like it can sense your not there anymore and crash.

[slam666]

After some check I think the problem is that a negative number is pass to the sqr function, must append rarely, because only way to crash in sqr would be a negative number, so I will add some check to make sure no negative number are pass to sqr in code. I am not a math guru so I will not try to look deeper to find why a negative number is pass, I will just make a easy code check
