Act 2 - Champion Hunting with death support

[Gardettos]

Act 2 - Champion Hunting with death support AND checkpoints

This is an extension of Radonic's and a few of my own. It is 7 parts

1) Black Canyon Mine added one extra move point that has elites at
2) Road to Alcarnus - goes around WP for any potential goblins. Across bridge and does the circle around the cages for elites
3) Road to Alcarnus north to Stinging Winds
4) Khasis Outpost south to Stinging Winds
5) Dahlgur Oasis w/ Old Fisherman's Cellar and Swampy Cellar
6) Desolate Sands - fixed stuck points in Radonic's
7) Black Canyon Mine to Howling Presence

1.01
- Dropped Kulle for now because it has the highest probability of getting stuck.
- Added Black Canyon Mine to Howling Presence
- Removed forced repair after Oasis

1.02
- fixed two stuck points in Desolate Sands
- added Deserted Cellar to Black Canyon Mines (purple monster with drops similar to Sarkoth)

1.03
- Using gingerbread's Desolate Sands now
- Added Checkpoints on death instead of TPing back to town

Plugins
Rad's Profile Manager - MUST HAVE

This uses Rad's Profile Manager so it can handle deaths and moves onto the next part. Just keep all the profiles in the same folder. Start the first one and it will do the rest.

DEATH HANDLING HAS TO BE ON IGNORE!!!!!!!!!!!

2 suggestion from me,
1. it doesn't make sense to keep ZK part in this profile since it drops only shit and costed you like more than 1 mins, and it also makes the profile too complicated, just ends up with desolace sands would be good enough.
2. i didn't find a leave game part in this zip file as a equivalent to your act1elite8.xml in your act1 profile, maybe there should also be a seperate leave game at the end of the whole profile?

I was also thinking of dropping ZK so you can use the Belial quest. With Belial you would get to farm with Leah and Adria also. Might not add a lot of damage but could take a hit for you.

i adjusted the Dahlgur Oasis part,
1. removed forcerepair, which causes stuck after this part is complete, maybe just useful for ppl who doesn't have DBenhancement installed.
2. added 2 waittime after wp so that the bot would wait until the elite group appears instead of running away to early.

known issue:
the scene in ZK encounter is not cutted out properly, although the code are already there(already listed by you).
after ZK part is done, bot doesn't leave game, stand still for around 30secs until the db build-in inactivity check is aktivated and leads to a force quit.
I tried insert leavegame at the end, but it doesn't work.

ARHGHGHGH i love you right now! can't wait to test this

and yeah dropping ZK completely would probally be best, its a waste of time. belial would be even a bigger waste of time as it takes ages to kill that bastard.

and i think most people here would be glad to see the vault of assasin being added although the navigation down there would be so tricky.

Got stuck here, bot was jerking back and force.

 

[bobdan]

first run no stucks, was an interesting first run, hadn't found any elites then ran into 2 packs at once lol.

both packs had arcane, one was waller/firechains and something else the other had molten and some other things.

took my bot a good 5mins but it killed them all eventually and didn't even die lol

was actually hoping it would die so i could test the death part

guess im to strong with 48% block!

 

[Gardettos]

Looking for more locations like Old Fisherman's Cellar and Swampy Cellar. Dungeons with elite packs always inside and are static inside. Not doing random dungeons till I feel comfortable in letting them be AFK. Working hard though on trying to get Khan Dakab to work with this.

I know you discovered that adding a LeaveGame broke it already, but I just want to point out that Profile Switcher handles a NextProfile tag at the end just fine. It will run all the profiles in the directory in alphabetical order (including trailing numbers) and will restart after the last one.

I've done this run 3 times now, and for some reason my bot has an uncanny knack for running into champion packs of lacuni slashers or fallen overseers, and always happen to be arcane enchanted and nightmarish (wreaks havoc on my LoH when he just runs away through lasers)

Totally not the profile's fault though

Exact same stuck, jerking back and forth. Moving away manually doesn't help, and the bot doesn't appear to be stuck *on* anything, just can't decide on a path I guess.

This may be unrelated, but there's a sometimes spawning miniquest (no quest steps) right here next to it:

There's a little jar there that spawns some normal mobs if you touch it, and then a rare mob if you kill them. Not an elite, so I don't know if its worth adding to the script, but it does drop some blues at least (I had 1 NV when I killed it). If anyone wants it I can try to find it again and get the objects to click and stuff. I really only bring it up because if people are only getting stuck when it spawns, maybe its related.

 

[Gardettos]

Can you guys give me the movepoint it is getting stuck at? It should say what movepoint at the very bottom of DB.

i THINK that spot is the hidden worm boss ( look at the lower right side of the pic ) once you walk near it he'll pop. I think db detects it and freezes.

Could be. I am just running the bot over and over again in Nightmare to find all the stucks there. Might take a lot of runs. Probably will eventually just redo it from scratch

can anyone give me an idea of how to setup profile switcher for this profile?

profiles = Directory.GetFiles(profilePath, "act2elite1.xml");

is this correct and is this all that needs to be changed if so?

will let you know if i think any, this has been running all night flawlessly for me so far as well thanks heaps!

yeah avoidance is pretty shit still, with high LOH just turn off avoidance. its hilarious watching my guy tank thru like 16 lasers lol

I didn't edit any of that. I just put all the files in a folder. Loaded up the first one and let it go

 

[hetsig]

Great job! Was looking for a reason to upgrade the gear on my bots. Will def try this out.

On a side note. Have you noticed a significant increase in loot running act 2 Gardettos?
