Bot not selecting a mount, even when auto select is on

[jbhawk74]

So about this thread being hijacked by rampant egos...

For real though... As was said in the other thread this issue is potentially bot ending if EA ever takes notice and starts looking at people not mounting. Devs said anything about this? Even a "we're working on it" would suit me just fine.

There are 2 very important points you hit there, I am overly tired of the extremes on both side of the aisle's with ego's. Its either the on why can't I have everything people or its the other I am smarter than 20 of you people on these boards. no middle reasonable ground what so ever. And the second is just the lack of update on any issues we are currently having. I have not been running my credit grind because I got whispered twice about why I was walking to each mob as a level 55 which is really obvious on certain planets. Am I going to cry about it? No but I would at some point in the next few days like to get back to it. Currently I am grinding new accounts at low levels so a question of mounts doesn't come into play.

Back on topic, I was thinking... Bearing in mind that I'm no programmer, I'm curious if it would be possible, as sort of a ghetto workaround, to just put the mount on your hotbar and have the routine send a key press to the window?

Certainly not an elegant solution, but thought I'd throw it out there.

probably not a bad plan honestly. i'll look at it.

Trust me I am fine LOL. They seem to think they have everything on lock down but if you look around you can tell it is a lie. No worries have big update for later in day when I get home.


PS Australia is a shit hole and currency is worthless just like half the country. Economics 101

What was that about Australia's currency? if i recall correctly, we were above the rapidly declining US dollar. Goes to show how much of a child you are.

And sheep shagging? thats a new zealand joke, wow you plebs are clueless.

OH SNAP HULK SMASHT.


code your welcome to close the thread, its clear the children have gone wild.

I don't live in the US. I live in Europe.

FYI Google told me 1 AUS = .96 USA

Are you guys fucking serious? Even when both of you are called out you keep it going? Can we please not derail this thread? We need to keep at least one of these open and active until the issue is dealt with.

 

[jnp]

So I coded this up but can't find a good place to put it. In Walter's Joe Routine, I put it in OOC, but it spams it way too often(between grabbing loot and harvesting). The issue is the Routines we develop are in the DefaultCombat namespace which is a type of CombatRoutine. I'm not sure a safe way to access the real trouble area which is in Buddywing.CommonBot.Logic.CreateMountBehavior(). Any ideas in the community besides disabling movement and completely rewriting it.

LOL Can't I have my fun? In real life people actually cry and online I don't have to see those tears. Cylak12 barley knows how to even change out his mount name. GG

The routine uses the BW.exe for movement so I really don't see another way around it with out changing how movement works. They may fix the issue soon also but no clue. Can't have it just constantly spamming like how medpacks work to use item.

Walter I appreciate your contributions to the buddywing community and have seen you help out and post in a lot of threads. As a side note though I am from Australia and think that bad-mouthing a persons country isn't necessary.

I agree my attacks were not appropriate and I apologize for that. I will just keep to my self with such nonsense.

I know this is an equally (if not more so) hacky workaround, but how does the routine / bot handle Legacy abilities? I know it is hardly a replacement for mounting, but if you have Rocket Boost (especially on a 30 sec cooldown) then at least you'll get around somewhat faster, and it might look a LITTLE less bot-y.

 

[jnp]

So legacy combat stuff is fine. WE could easily add that in. I saw the abilities when i spit out my character's abilities. Rocket Boost however does not show up as an ability. So its not accessible in the standard spell casting way. You can bind a key to it and have the bot execute a keypress yes, but the problem again is where do you have it spam rocketboost? Everytime a mob dies, you rocketboost over to loot it? That might look weirder. The place we need it to execute is in the BW.exe and we can't overload that or come up with a viable work around short of cutting nav off all together and re-writing it.

 

[tomit12]

Different question - How does the bot determine whether you are inside or out?

 

[jbhawk74]

So if we the people try to cut into the joe's combat routine is this a work around? I would like to get back to doing the grind I was accustomed to and if this the only intelligent work around then so be it but I would like to see a permanent solution developed.

 

[Ama]

Sure keep downloading off the SVN. COOL STORY! LOL that guy is such a joke. WOW I am done posting on these forums. No wonder joe quit and Ama quit working on these projects. These people are retards.

I didn't quit completely... Pure is mostly done. If anyone wants something that isn't there, it wouldn't be that hard for them to add it. I raped a little code from joe's btw.

It's summer and I want to spend my time pursuing my 2 favorite things, girls and money. Coding routines for BW gets me closer to neither and it sucks when you are supposed to be talking to someone and you are thinking about a coding problems instead. It occupies your whole day!

 

[jbhawk74]

I understand if you are slowing down. Seems as though if you and Joe's all but backdown on production then this will go the way of the Dino's, I for one don't want that because I like the game but going to go play WOW some more until everything on this bot is up and running. Have fun chasing those dollar bills and women though. But just don't let the women spend all the cash for you.

 

[tomit12]

I seem to have it working fairly well... at least for me.

- It mounts going to and fro
- It only mounts after harvesting / looting mobs
- It immediately mounts after harvesting nodes

The stuff that is still a pain in the balls that I'm too tired to work on or I simply can't:

- After looting a mob indoor, it will try to mount once, then goes on about its merry business. It might try to randomly mount when the bot pulses indoor, but it doesn't hinder it much. Which leads me to
- After coming out from inside, it make take it a few seconds to mount back up.
- Thought pathing was wonky before? Wait until your footprint is just slightly larger because you're on a mount.

The first 2 are because I have no idea how BW manages indoor/outdoor changes, and since it doesn't seem to do mounting, checking if that is usable might be out.

For anyone daring enough to test this out, you need to find this line:

private static string MountName = "Longspur STAP";

... And change "Longspur STAP" to the name of your mount... or if you happen to have one, go you. Bear in mind, a programmer I am not. Mainly I just hope this gives someone who CAN program some ideas... and a few laughs while looking at my trial and error hackery.

Ha I already have all the woman I want and I will tell you my friend to be careful. They are all the devil! Yea I never expected working on BW to do anything for me but play my tor while I am out living my life.

This is what I was doing but you found the real solution by forcing looting and harvest nodes in the routine instead of having BW.exe do it. This makes it so it doesn't call ALL the time. Pretty creative.

I've implemented it into the MercHelper in walter's Test Build folder and changed the key binding to F10 by default. You can change it to whatever you guys wish by changing the hex code for the virtual keyboard @ line 165.

Credit given to Tumult for figuring out where to put this.

Thanks!

Sweeeeet. I figured it could be made to look (and probably work) a whole lot better!

Only 2 things still itching at me are that it still tries to mount indoors (which generally doesn't effect it much), and that after being inside for a while, it attempting to mount can make it think it is stuck.

Edit - I managed to alleviate the second indoor issue by commenting out the Thread.Sleep in MountUp(). The routine is still calling it (even though it is useless at the moment), essentially just adding 3 seconds to every pause.

Looks a little more lifelike too, since it doesn't spend so much time standing around fapping.

 

[jnp]

Thinking... Maybe put a mount check in. If I mounted - am I mounted -if not I'm inside so don't try to mount again for a minute? something like that?
