[PAID] BGFarmer - An Advanced Battleground Bot Base

[BestWarOCE]

The movement in this really needs an overhaul... The FPS issue due to a "fix" has caused just as many problems as it has fixed. If you have 2 accounts queue into the same BG and just watch your bot from the 2nd account. The "freeze" is visible as a giant stutter to everyone else. The old movement was a lot better because at least it was smooth and you could claim "lag" for running through a target.

Currently the movement in PvPSuite is superior. Please fix this!!

Would it be possible to add the use of PvP items to the bot? Many CRs I use don't support the use of PvP trinkets.

I may be just expecting too much. I was just watching it in EOTS and it would run right past gray towers as they were being solo capped then standing just outside the cap radius while fighting so that I wouldn't count toward taking a tower. It also seems hit and miss on whether it will stop and join combat. Just watched it stop next to a fight, do nothing while standing 5 feet from a team mate at 30% health, then start attacking after he dies (this is on a disc priest.)

Have you turned all the options under the mount tab "On"? I've often had the bot walking past fights because of it.
And under the Target tab you can increase the range for scanning units, this might also help.

I must say I've never used it with an healer though...

AB needs some options. Why have it go stables/farm every time until it's fully capped and then just move onto another node? looks extremely bottish.

 

[MostDope]

On ashran it always gets stucked in a horde mini camp, this is ridiculous.

 

[airwolf1]

If you're on the island, it'll move into the Ashran zone to join the BG and accept queues. Then once in battle it'll run up and down the main strip in search of a fight.

Does Ashran use the repair vendor too? Because I have "Allow Vendoring/Repairing" on but it doesn't repair, even when my gear is red. I can't find an option in honorbuddy for auto-repairs.

I'm happy with this bot so far. The one thing I would like to see is this.

When I have a bot follow me in BGs, that follower bot will frequently run off and attack another nearby toon even though I (the leader) have no target. My request is that you code the follower bot to always follow the leader, and if the leader has no target (or the target is friendly), then the bot tries to run back to the leader.

I am using the following settings:

• BGFarmer handles movement during combat
• Movement disabled in CR
• BGFarmer does no specific for any BG
• No targeting in BGFarmer
• Follower bot follows leader and attacks leader's targets

I can get a log if necessary, but I don't think the AI is currently setup to tell a follower to stop attacking when the leader has no target, and that's what I'm requesting.

Thanks for your consideration!

seems to lock up if you try to stop the botbase while dead. happendd 2x on 2 different toons on 2 different accounts in 2 different bgs using 2 different routines (1 paid 1 non paid).

Other account is chugging along fine, wouldnt have noticed had i not tried to alttab to it and the window wont open because its not responding. heres the log though.View attachment 49104 2015-01-04 11.05.txt

Hey Millz,

In IOC, when people jump off cliffs and glide away, the bot falls down onto the cliff side and gets stuck. Is there anyway I can stop the bot from following them off the cliff?

Thanks!

Hello Millz
can you insrease a new logout functon
when i get 1500 Conquest Points auto logout ? same to have 4000 Honor Points auto logout
because if you win 1 Battlegrounds will have 50 Conquest Points , some time i only want to get 1500 Conquest Points
when i have full set Honor Items, and thank you for you BGFarmer

 

[Millz]

I get this popup every time I open the bot config while having "sign up as group" enabled. Surely it's only needed when you first enable it?

Will fix this.

Nice Millz!
Out of curiousity, how long does it normally take to get approved?

It takes up to 3 days officially, but I've never seen it take more than 24 hours.

Millz! I wonder is this a function for BGFarmer or it will be via Combat Routine to attack Siege Tanks etc?

LOVE your botbase and routines!

BGFarmer does assign tanks to be targets that need attacking. The combat routines can override this though. If you disable the CR's targeting completely it may have a better time of targeting the tanks.

Hey

I am doing a trial for BGFarmer and my char doesn't mount, it gives the error you are not the right faction for that mount

Really do not know what is causing that

Can you post a log please? Try changing the mount you've got it setup with under 'Settings & Tools'.

This has been a lot of fun to play. Two questions:

In AV (Horde), my toon will run straight to Vann. Naturally, he dies horribly. I have the mini boss flag set to off, and the other Attack/Defend flags (IBT,TP,SHB,IWB) all set to on.

Second question, my toon when running to a tower to defend in AV will sometimes just stand on the second level and not go to the actual flag room.

I had to put a fix in for this in the last build, something may still be broken, can you post a log file please?

Not going to the top floor of tower - which tower are you noticing this happening on? It occurs when randomizing the location of where the toon should stand.

Which routine are you seeing the non-healing issue with? Did it dismount and not doing anything, or stay on the mount?

Running past bases -> Would need a log to see why it decided to go to a different base.

Consider the movement issues a temporary solution. I'm not overly pleased with it, but it does work, and it's much better than having the toon randomly running off every so often and not stopping.

Would it be possible to add the use of PvP items to the bot? Many CRs I use don't support the use of PvP trinkets.

Yeah wouldn't be too much work to add this, I'll stick it on my list.

AB needs some options. Why have it go stables/farm every time until it's fully capped and then just move onto another node? looks extremely bottish.

Until the base is fully captured, it can't determine which team the contest flag is for, so it classes it as an enemy base (otherwise bases our team own that have just been tagged by the enemy, and are currently contested would be ignored).

Defending a flag for 30 seconds before moving on isn't bad imo.

On ashran it always gets stucked in a horde mini camp, this is ridiculous.

Can you post a log and screenshot (censored to hide names - or via PM) of where it's getting stuck please?

 

[Millz]

Does Ashran use the repair vendor too? Because I have "Allow Vendoring/Repairing" on but it doesn't repair, even when my gear is red. I can't find an option in honorbuddy for auto-repairs.

It does, but there's a bug where HB can sometimes think the closest vendor for repairing when in Ashran is at Tanan Jungle, so it ends up trying to swim there. When that happens it blocks the repair logic. I need to create custom repair logic for Ashran. It's on my to-do list.

I'm happy with this bot so far. The one thing I would like to see is this.

When I have a bot follow me in BGs, that follower bot will frequently run off and attack another nearby toon even though I (the leader) have no target.

Thanks for your consideration!

Yeah, will take a look at this. Shouldn't be too hard to add.

Looks like the CR is stopping it in that log file...


[19:55:48.098 Q] Bot stopping! Reason: The Public Edition is not supporting AFK botbases.

Try a different CR and see how you get on.

Hey Millz,

In IOC, when people jump off cliffs and glide away, the bot falls down onto the cliff side and gets stuck. Is there anyway I can stop the bot from following them off the cliff?

Thanks!

Good call, not sure how easy that would be too do, but I'll look into it.

Hello Millz
can you insrease a new logout functon

because if you win 1 Battlegrounds will have 50 Conquest Points , some time i only want to get 1500 Conquest Points

Will look at this.

 

[julrevo]

HEy millz do you plan to add some options for ashran? I play ally and we always win in ashran, but when the bot only run until hes in the middle of the map, he will never see a horde char...so it would be nice if the char would be run deeper into the horde base

 

[ball]

Does anyone know if the BGFarmer works with the Gladiator Suite Routines?

Does anyone know if the BGFarmer works with the Gladiator Suite Routines?

sure, why not? just enable movent target and facing in bgfarmer and let it burn

 

[XIceMan]

Does BGFarmer supporting Ashran? I found no information about this question and second, is it possible to get an trial version for testing? Thanks a lot.

I understand it does work in ashran , but it's very buggy and being worked on ,
I'm sure there's a tryout if login the buddy store.

 

[XIceMan]

If i go to the buddystore i will not found any tryout for bgfarmer :/ Maybe millz doesnt offer it?

can you have it be an option to go hit mine or LM instead? kind of like the options for AV/IOC.
