RebornCo - A Coroutine Alternative

[kaihaider]

RebornCo - Basicly a rip off of Singu...Kupo

Supported Classes: Lancer/Dragoon, Pugilist/Monk, Rogue/Ninja, Conjurer/White Mage, Gladiator/Pally, Marauder/Warrior, Archer/Bard and Thaumaturge/Black Mage

Suggestions are not only appreciated but desperately needed. Please tell me how you want your class to fight and what cross class skills I'm missing.

You Must Have the Game Focused or Change Settings in FFXIV to Not Limit FPS While Not Focused!!!

Features:
Coroutine
Custom Spell Queuing: SpellQueue setting below 500 will give you that many ms (500-SpellQueue) to input your own spell. So 400 will give you a tenth of a second.
Custom Dynamic class switching through hooks
Custom Movement
Custom Combos
Dodging: Run behind target if target casting a listed spell

ToDo:
Dodge aoes, dodge add's spell casts.
pvp, endgame, aoe
Interrupts
Kite away from adds
Halt movement while strafing
Setting for: Do not use aoe if adds will be pulled.
Blacklisting

Possible bugs:
null pointers: if you see something, post something
casting interrupts game interaction/cast, let me know if you see this
double casting, let me know which spell and I'll fix

API Wish List:
Check focus
Check if spell in queue
Strafing/Backwards movement
Access to Navigator's generated path data.

API Wish List that will probably never happen:
Check is invulnerable - would need log data
Targeting Provider pulse control - just need a bool to shut pulsing on and off
Enum for type(frontal, cone, aoe) in Target.SpellCastInfo.SpellData - could incorporate community spell database
More accurate DoAction's return results - frequently returns a false success when target is dead but it uncommonly reports false successes and failures apparently at random.

Additional hotkey for warriors toggles storm's path. Warrior Cooldown toggle actually turns off cooldowns! Will add the rest of the classes eventually. Black Mage's fire III double cast fixed. I need a couple more levels to test blizzard III.

v0.0.2.3 - Fixed a bug in the gcd
v0.0.2.2 - Couple minor fixes and a couple big changes. Someone reported that it was still running too slow for them, so I gutted some of my consistency checks.
v0.0.2.0 - Finally got around to figuring out how to use performance profilers again, been a couple years, so this release is a pretty big efficiency change. Everything should be running a lot faster. Also changed CoR, pulse, gcd, facing and a few other things. Quite likely I broke something in all of these changes, let me know.
v0.0.1.7 - Basic Ninja rotation added. Change to chain of responsibility. Fixed lancer/dragoon gcd sync. Minor rotation fixes for all classes (still work in progress)

v0.0.0.5 - target change, fatebot pull movement fix
v0.0.0.4 - updated Monk routine to use [URL="http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/162921-The-Monk-Temple-Reborn"]this guide[/URL] and dragoon to exaccuss's posted rotation

Congrats on the release! Mine will be coming in a few days possibly. At least the community will have plenty of options now lol.

I couldn't find any bugs the last couple times I ran it, so I figured I should get some testers and I keep procrastinating on supporting all classes >_>

I jinxed myself, just found a bug in last nights code change

fixed

 

[exaccuss]

For me, dragoon only seemed to use jump, that ability that makes jump more powerful, phlebotomize and the TTC. As for monk, what is the rotation with that one? with magitek monk, all you had to do was be flank for DK, SP, TS > behind BS, TS, demolish and then basically repeat.

i guess I should have warned you, I only just bought the game (literally yesterday) and my only classes are lvl 20 rogue and lvl 15 Pugilist.
I just looked at a list of spells and guessed the priority logic.
thanks for your advice, I'll look into it.

any links to priotity lists for any classes would be much appreciated!

 

[exaccuss]

Oh, i probably read the post too fast. When you do focus on end game, this should help somewhat.

Perfect!!! Thanks a lot

edit: next release will stop TTC from breaking for auras
Also, I'm refreshing with 1 second till aura drops, should I move it to a full gcd?
Should I be casting ID only when behind or whenever i need to refresh Disembowel?

 

[exaccuss]

I tested out the dragoon profile and have found a few problems with it. It does not seem to use disembowel/chaos thrust at all even after using impulse drive from behind, it jumps when ever it is off gcd which usually confuses your bots rotation. Have you also tried looking at this guide? It is supposedly the optimal rotation. It may look confusing at first though, but if you can make the routine as close to it as possible, i'm sure it can pull of some great dps.

Let me know if i can help out at all, i have all combat classes at 50

Thanks, I'll take a look at it later.

I just uploaded a new version. If this don't work then I think the problem is in the core of how I handle combos.

I also just made a complete rework of my movement checks. I haven't had much test time, so let me know if you see anything funky.

edit:I think it is in the core of how I handle combos...should cache lastspell manually...

anyone know how to remove auras?

Tested again, it is slightly improved, but i believe it does have something to do with how you handle combo's. When It uses PS+Jump during the disembowel combo, the rotation seems to go south lol. It did manage to use disembowel occasionally, but no CT.

A log would be nice so I could see cast order and what's breaking the combos

what do you mean by go south?

If it's not using ct then another action is being cast before Actionmanager updates that LastSpell.Name == "Disembowel"

quick n dirty fix out, let me know

 

[exaccuss]

Oh sorry, when i mean by 'it goes south' something bad happened, just google it

and here is a 3 minute log of the rotation, anything longer seemed unnecessary.

 

[exaccuss]

Tried your next update and it has improved, i noticed the the PS+Jump is not happening right away which is good, however it did SS dive in place of the jump and seemed to interrupt the impulse drive combo making it not happen. Heavy thrust also does not seem to be reapplying as quick as it should be. There have been numerous times where the buff wasn;t up when it should be. It tends to do the TTC when there are other abilities it should have been using such as the impulse drive combo etc. Sorry to load all this on you, it's just i'm going from my experience with DRG and the rotation reborn thread.

Right now jumps are only if you are at range, but from looking at the guide I think they are supposed to be part of the rotation, will take me a bit to digest that guide though.
Should TTC be abandoned mid combo for heavythrust/ID combo? Should it be abandoned for heavythrust buff or should I just cast it earlier? Should I only be refreshing HT while flanking and ID/dis while behind?

It will be very difficult for me to keep up on each job's ideal rotation (when they're all supported) after every patch. Especially since I would rather be spending the time on core logic/plugin development. So it would be really awesome if you guys can give me a priority list with conditions for each spell ^_^

update out, but I still need to know how early to recast auras and what to do about the behind/flanking and if I should break combos for buffs.

If you are in the middle of a TTC, you should wait until it's finished before moving on to something else, as it would be a dps loss otherwise. Heavy thrust only while on the flank and needs to be kept up. impulse drive combo from behind only. And like heavy thrust, the disembowel buff and CT debuff need to be kept up. Sorry about if i sound nooby here, but what do you mean by a piority list for each spell? Oh and if you could explain what you mean by recast aura's, that would be appreciated Always Finish Combos. If you start a combo and a buff or Dot falls off. It is more DPS finish the combo then re-apply the DoT. Never break a combo once you have started one.

Thanks, can you give me a list of spells that don't use gcd and could break a combo?

aura means de/buff

I messed up my Phlebotomize check btw, accidentally told it to not cast after HT instead of ID combo.

priority lists are how crs work: goes line by line
if this or this do this
if this or this do this
and repeat

you can group up the ifs in different ways and do fancy 'this or this' checks, but that's the gist of it.

Right now dragoons are:
if HT buff has less than a second & is flanking & not in ttc cast ht
if if behind & disembowel has less than 3.5 seconds & not in ttc cast ID
etc

I'm guessing that Phlebotomize and the jump spells don't use gcd so they are breaking combos because I don't have the additional checks added to them, because I assume gcd would stop them from castin

Phlebotomize does break combo's, however jump (even when used with power surge) does NOT break combo's. Leg sweep does not break combo and should be used whenever possible (unless you need it specifically for stunning). other skills like feint, HT, piercing talon etc etc do break combo. Hopefully that helps somewhat.

as for the aura's, buffs like blood for blood/internal release etc should not be just blown all at once. Weave them in between combo's like in the forum post which helps improve dps. Heavy thrust re apply time should be fine, will test it in the future in case it needs changing. Dis/CT reapply time seems fine too.

does Phlebotomize not use gcd? or are any of the "feint, HT, piercing talon etc etc" spells without gcd?

phlebotomize, feint, heavy thrust, piercing talon etc are on gcd and they interrupt combo's. Stuff like jump, leg sweep, dragonfire dive etc, are without gcd and do not break combo's at all.
