Arty Mode strange

Hi,

I've got a problem with the arty mode: I've selected a level 2 german arty with arty profile & aiming mode. Problem is:

1) At first it takes very long 'til anything happens - the tank just stays still. Log message "Waiting for the Battle to start". Guess it just wait's 'til the first shell is loaded and the first enemy appears?
2) It doesn't aim at cleared contacts by mates outside of the visible area. Only at visible targets. I guess that's not possible in other way, or?
3) The arty aims a bit crazy and obvious: If there are more then one target it can't decide on which target it should aim then it constantly turns left & right - and nearly never wait's 'til a target is aimed more precisely.
4) If it loses it's target then it starts kind of circling depending how long it takes 'til the next contact appears - then it may lock on that.
5) It doesn't move at all - stays where it starts.

All together a bit obvious that this is a bot, especially when you're one of the last active tanks and people are watching you - eh?!
 
yes i have the same problems, but especially the fact that it just shoots at the first best moment seems a little odd to me... but this actually isn't only arty for me, every tank i have botted with does this. he spots a target in range, aims at it and fires not waiting a second for a more precise shot that would actually hit and damage the target... is this supposed to be or did i just do a bad setup?
 
Sure thing is that your profile fails and throws errors

well those are gloomy's profiles and i dont think the first error with the middle airfield is a big deal, the other one with the character can't be named with an ' ... i dont have a clue why it gives me that problem, it's not like i made those profiles... i've got some programming skills so i might try to fix it myself but i'd be much happier if i could just copy paste working profiles! :p

Just turn profiles off and provide a new log file as you will show its nothing to do with profiles.

Its been discussed before in other threads arty shoots as soon as it sees a target and so do normal tanks. Thats how TL2 works until they decide to change/fix it.

As for the airfield profile

31_airfield.midlle_03.xml

Spelling mistake !

You will probably find it works ok if its spelt middle
 
I tried it with and withour profiles - the same result. If it matter's I'll can upload my logfiles later. But since several people mentioned that behaviour it looks like it's not only me... see other threads as well.
 
Here you go...

at first I tried with some profiles from the board here and later without - see logs.

Unfortunately my key will expire today so I can't test anymore :/

i renamed the file and it still gives me the same error, that it might not be an xml file or corrupt... anyway i wonder how i can fix the other issue (the one with character can't be named with ' ) since i think it could be keeping the bot from its full potential...
 
Yeah that's something I've noticed too when running artillery the past couple of days. The bot does work, but it doesn't change the Poi or write to the log file after having finished waiting for the battle to start. That's giving the impression of it not doing anything; I'll be adding some logging and a proper Poi update to make it look more responsive. Thanks.
 
good luck it wont get fixed the support for this has disappeared apart from making it work with the next patch.
