[Plugin] A ChuckyEgg Attempt! - Party Dude Pro, breaker breaker roger smack 'em!

[kayes]

Sigh... My follower still TP's

Spendt an hour today also trying different solutions, lol

 

[twistedheat]

Chucky, I love you that being said, i realy like this concept of your plugin, its bad ass. the problems iv noticed so far are. mostly only that the bot errors out(follower), my db and diablo keep erroring out after awhile not sure why. also NEVER use the pause option on giles keep up the good work man, as soon as i sell something im going to donate if you got the paypal link

 

[shinavaka]

Yeah just tried again, fresh install and both followers fight for loot/following leader all the time

It is supposed to TP if the leader either gets too far away from the followers, or if the leader goes through a portal or Waypoint.

Are you saying the followers TP in other situations, when perhaps they should not ?

Once I can get the followers to use the portals, they will not have to TP that often. I've not had anytime lately to look into this

Yey, bring on the love

Followers error out - what / when are they doing this ?

Yeah just tried again, fresh install and both followers fight for loot/following leader all the time

I'll add a line or two of:

Zeta.CommonBot.LootTargeting.Instance.Pulse();

in the OnPulse() method of PartyDudePro.cs. This gets the bot to check for loot.

I'm out of action for a bit. Doing a major overhaul of my main computer; low level formatting drives, fresh rebuild, backing up data, creating disk image. NIGHTMARE! lol
Also, need to bring my other computers back to life.

Trinity incompatibility issue ! !

After some tests, I found that whne using Trinity, the followers had major difficulty in picking up the loot. In fact, they only picked loot that they walked over. Anything beyond their reach, they either ignored or attempted to fight with the command to walk and follow the leader.

I usually use Belph, and the looting works fine.

I'll have a play with that

Zeta.CommonBot.LootTargeting.Instance.Pulse();

and see if I can locate a place in the code where it will make the follower pick the loot up.

-----------------------------------------------------

NEW VERSION - 1.0.5

Party Creation failed - fixed an error in the code that had a chance of failing to start the run after everybody had joined the party (a PartyDudePro had failed to acquire its ID, and as a result could not update the database saying that it was in the party, which meant that the leader could not start the run because PartyLeaderPro could not see that everybody had successfully joined the party)

Works AMAZING!
If you need help testing pm me ill be glad to help.

 

[Diabloguy69]

so how is this plugin coming along? is it totally afkable?

Anything you can add will be very much appreciated.... ideas, bug reports, improvement ideas

Fix one thing, 10 more pop up, it seems

I'm working on the portal usage of the followers at the moment. The followers just don't seem to want to use the portal, but I've now got input from the CIGGARC guys, so will hopefully see this development move along a might better.

Once this portal usage has been implemented things will improve significantly on the AFK botting front. I just need to get it done.

We (Acronic and I, actually it was Acronic who figured it out) managed to figure out the reason why some people are still getting "I've Lost The Leader Message" when they party is first formed, thus resulting in the follower trying to TP.
- EUROPEAN NUMBERING!
- specifically the use of commas instead of periods
- e.g. coordinates were being written thus: 1023.2,1423.1,10.89 But on Acronic's machine, these were written thus: 1023,2,1423,1,10,89 very very wrong for the plugin

So, I have now added a EUROPEAN (for want of a better name) version of the plugin for download. Tested and proven to work by Acronic (who lives in some strange place that uses commas instead of periods... I bet they also have pixies, elves, and unicorns!)

 

[CooleRnax]

Good job. Finally found this bug!

Edit: it works now!

 

[ChuckyEgg]

Good job. Finally found this bug!

yeah, freaking finally!

Thank CIGGARC's Acronic for that. He kept me at my machine while he tried out different scenarios, all the while quizzing me about how the plugin worked!
He noticed that the file that held the coordinates of the leader had commas as separators. So, him being in a country that used commas in floats, resulted in his system producing coordinates files with commas in floats and commas as separators. Too many commas.

So, for Europe we now have a plugin that allows for this use of commas.

I'll add a setting to the config window, so that people can say which numbering convention they use. But first I must get the portal usage done!

 

[Diabloguy69]

This plugin sounds awesome BUT how smart would it be for me to run 4 bots on the same machine no vm... I'm gonna do it anyways I don't know why I bother asking

lol, I do that, and so do a good number of other people

I'll feel good about this plugin once I have the followers using the portals. Till then I shall continue headbutting a wall, lol.

Luckily Radonic has steered me towards a load of code that may have the answer... AGB something or other, so I'll bury myself in that and see what gems of enlightenment I can come up with.

Till then it's Community, Bones, and The Vampire Diaries time

Sir, you are amazing. I really want to be able to create code like this someday when I get time to learn. Please PM or post your desired pay pal donation email for me. This is one of those plugins that we need to support!! Thank you for the hard work!

 

[tesslerc]

Chucky what about the trinity support? Do you have any idea what the problem is?
I'll try help if you can give a lead

 

[derico5]

All is working fine until the leader logs out from game. Follower gets the greyed screen and window that the party was cancelled and the Follower-D3-Window will close. Any solutions or what do i make wrong?

Hmm, and sometimes windows crashes in a black screen.

I'll see about that PayPal thingy. In fact I'll wait till I solve the portal usage. as it is the plugin is severely limited due to the need for the followers having to TP when they lose the leader

That's a real mystery to me so far, but definitely needs to be solved.

The plugin is fighting with Trinity when Trinity wants to loot and PartyDudePro wants to walk. Hopefully there's a way to override the walking if there is any looting to be done.

With the Demonbuddy's built in combat and looting you can override what the Plugin is doing by the use of a simple call, so hopefully there's a similar thing with Trinity.

Hmm, usually that happens if the follower is using the normal CombatBot profile.

I posted a CombatBot profile pack, and if you use one of those, appropriate for the act your bots are on, that will stop any crashing when the followers go to the menus.

Perhaps a little chat with giles the flu-Meister would help

 

[derico5]

Ok, on a different PC it works. Crazy But found few bugs:

If the Leader enter a door, the follower writes "I have lost the leader", but dont port back to town and takes leaders flag. If i manually enter the door, the follower ports to town and takes the leaders flag.

If the follower dies, most times he dont click the revive-button. So i have to click it and he work again.

Sometimes the follower ports to down, but dont click the leader-flag. Instead he walks few feets and doing nothing. If i manually go to flag and click the flag, he works again. Maybe you make a check here if flag clicked or reachable and going to flag.

Sometimes the leader running away and the follower will be attacked from range and dont fight back, just spams "kill that biatches" and doing nothing until he dies.

What you could do for the portal is create a behavior to replace the UseObject and only use it for portals (UseObjectPortal); then when the leader takes a portal send an instruction to the PartyDude to use the portal. People would have to use custom profiles though. Anyway that is what I was going to do for MyBuddy... other than that the best bet is to try to get the buddy team to attach an event to the UseObject tag that passes in all the parameters from the tag... which they probably won't do...

 

[mullerhun]

so follower looting and portal usage are the 2 major problems left to be solved?
