[Bot] Prosto_Pets: Battle Pets 4 in 1, and more

[Prostak]

Goto bots folder right click and do an SVN check out. It will create the directory itself.

You have an extra folder layer is all. So the botbase is inside a folder with the same name prolly.

Yes, I have struggled how to adapt the layout that VS2013 creates (Project\Project) with what HB needs (Bot\Project). The way I found was to provide the link to Project\trunk\Project sub-directory on GitHub. You probably choose to ignore the link I've recommended and went for usual Project url. But if this works, it seems a proper way to go: no need to create a dir - will eliminate some errors. Just need to remove unneeded stuff. Thanks for the hint.

Still wont export or do a checkout. I get the below messages with Error:
'https://github.com/Prostak/Prosto_Pe...nk/Prosto_Pets'

You've probably made a copy-paste from the board representation. Unfortunately, the board truncates URLs. The proper way to go was to right-click on the url (in the original post!) and choose "Copy Link Address" in Chrome (or a similar operation in other browser). You should have /Prostak/Prosto_Pets/trunk/Prosto_Pets in the url, not the dots.

can you recommend any starter teams that could make it all the way to 25? Also what settings do you recommend for leveling a new team?

I have reserved a place for "Hints" section. But I am a bit behind in RL projects. So probably not sooner than weekend.
Do not hesitate to post any questions, I will probably make a Q/A section also.

Out of my head: I would recommend going for Crabs (low versions can be found at the shore at Westfall). The tactics for them a defensive-aggressive, should be good for back line pets.

Also, you can tweak swapout values to better match your experience. The goal is not allow the levelled pet to die, but at the same time - to win the battle. When you've got some 25's it will be easy, at lower levels it may need adjusting, since these two goals should be balanced. Use Relative mode until you've got enough (5-6? to work between heals) 25's I guess.

Sweet thanks for the recommendations However, i still don't know what im doing wrong, can't get it to switch my pets out to level each 3 of them. Also, i started it in Elwynn Forest and it kept leveling until level 6? Shouldn't it load profiles based on my pets levels?

Relative I do not know, but Ringer is basicly this:

You have one or two highlevel pets and one lowlevel, you start the battle by sending out your lowlevel and hope it survives the first round, then you swap it our for a highlevel pet and the lowbie gets not only xp but dificulty bonus as well, it's sort of speed leveling a new pet if you have a bunch of level 25's

Yes, thank you!
And relative is placing the pet that is lower than the opponent first, swapping it out before it dies and then using a pet that is higher than the opponent to win surely. Logically similar to Ringer, but need to use different Swapout values. If in Ringer you can swapout a levelled pet immediately (so Swapout=100), in Relative mode you need to make it do some work, so Swapout=40 or so. It's all configurable, so can be adjusted.

Can you post your log, I may see something there.

Go to Either of those links, if you having issues downloading, the svn link in the first post is whacked out.
Either of this links will alow you to svn or create the folder and just use the download button on the site.

I am unable to create a proper directory structure using the shorter link. It tends to create "trunk" and one more "Prosto_Pets" inside. The bot will start even in this way, but it will fail to find the subdirs in needs in the place it expects to find. So, please do not use it. Use the procedure as described in the post.

Proper structure is: Bots\Prosto_Pets\Prosto_Pets.cs (and other .cs files). If you see just a "trunk" dir or other "Prosto_Pets" inside Bots\Prosto_Pets - things went wrong.

I will probably need to change directory finding logic to accomodate even this structure, but so far it is strict and does not like changes.

Sure here you go View attachment 162662

You have locked all your pets:
[19:21:29.468 N] [Pets] Filling pet Slot 1 -- locked
[19:21:29.468 N] [Pets] Filling pet Slot 2 -- locked
[19:21:29.468 N] [Pets] Filling pet Slot 3 -- locked

Uncheck these boxes, otherwise pets will be kept in places no matter what.
I guess you are trying to level starting with level 7, out of:
Pets by level [1-25]: #1=120 #2=5 #4=1 #5=1 #6=1 #7=2 #8=2 #9=1 #11=1 #13=1 (no wilds, not only blues) [numbers changed. -P]

Raise "Min Level" to 7 and the bot will not select lower ones. You should see this accross "Team selection": #7=2 #8=2 #9=1 #11=1 #13=1
This may be too low number (not enough to survive between heals). Probably you should start with 2: #2=5 #4=1 #5=1 #6=1 #7=2 #8=2 #9=1 #11=1 #13=1 .
Other ways to influence team selection is to use "Blues Only", or most flexible: "Favorites Only".
Press "Generate New" button a couple of time to validate parameters after a change.

i started it in Elwynn Forest and it kept leveling until level 6? Shouldn't it load profiles based on my pets levels?

It selects a profile based on a lower level among selected (plus zone diff that you choose).
You have selected these: Pets by level [1-25]: #1=65 #2=5 #4=1 #5=1 #6=1 #7=2 #8=2 #9=1 #11=1 #13=1 (no wilds, not only blues) [numbers changed]
There are 187 level 1's in the selection, so it will stay in Elwin Forest until they ALL have overgrown it.

Narrow you selection by: "Min Level", "Blues Only", "Fav Only". You should see the current selection structure on a small panel across "Team Selection" header.

do you plan to add a function to change profile every x minutes?

Nope. What do you need it for? To avoid detection?
Currently bot will fight any pet of a right level even if met in a wrong (not in the profile) place. If staying in one place bothers you then select a small teams: they will be upgraded and change zones faster.

[Pets] Current Profile level is 0, loading profile for level 3 !!!

Help me plz, i don't understand =(

I am not sure I understand correctly what it is that you do not understand. But my guess is: why it chooses a zone that is Level 3 while you have pets level 1?
The logic is as follows. First, the bot looks at the team you've selected to level. Short description is on a General tab, to the right of big "Team Selection" label. It looks like this: [1-25]: #1=87 #2=5 #4=1 #5=1 #6=1 #7=2 #8=2 #9=1 #11=1 #13=1. The lowest selected level is 1. (87 is the number of pets level 1).
Next, it looks the mode you've selected. Brown "Mode" selector above to the right. By default it is "Relative". Click on the Relative tab. In the middle you'll see: Select Zone that is higher than Pet1 by X levels. By default it is 2. So, lowest level (1) + zone diff (2) = 3. Bot will load a profile for pet level 3. Zone diff is added to speed up levelling by getting a bonus exp. If you prefer to have surerer fights (but less exp) set this box to 0. And close the Gui (should work without closing but just in case).

i don't understand it doesn't work =(

still the same at stormwind.

[Pets] Current Profile level is 0, loading profile for level 1 !!!

I have : [1-25]: #1=126 #2=7 #4=2 #5=3 #7=2 #10=2 #11=1 #14=1

this thing works amazingly. only issue is just the lack of instructions for configuration. you kinda just get thrown out to it.

only thing I really want to change in settings is the pet it captures. if you select capture ones not owned it seems to capture them to the max (3/ 3). is there a way to have it just capture one or capture an extra one only if its of higher quality (rare)

I ran it full afk while sleeping with zero issues.

1. Great MyPetBattle protected Lua addon. I've raised a lot of pets to 25 and won a lot of PvP fights using this. But it's a protected Lua, and Lua unlocks are suspected of producing bans. This botbase is using similar (but better) configuration, similar internal tactics representation and some tactics themselves (some are added/modified by me. Just try our crabs ).

Regarding this statement, does that mean it uses a LUA unlocker and is possible that it could get banned for doing so? I've heard of LUA unlockers being very dangerous to use. While I've never done anything in the pet battle/collecting portion of this game (simply due to disinterest) I have gained some minor interest in it, but I would MUCH rather not do any of it by hand. I would like something to simply collect and level pets for me to sell on the AH. I just want to know if this bot is as safe as using questing bot, enyo, professionbuddy, or any of the other bot bases (aside from DungeonBuddy, BGBuddy, and GatherBuddy).

 

[kirdd]

Think he means, that is the inspiration for this botbase, not that it is included.

Though after testing it for the past 30 minutes or so, must say I am quite impressed with what it does so far and look forward to future additions, so keep up the good work!

 

[DoomRaccoon]

Thanks for the upload man so far a few hours of testing working flawlessly, Thanks!!!

I've reserved a place for it, ETA this weekend. Just HAD to release it, sorry for the inconvenience.

You can set "Capture Not Owned" to None. With this set it will capture only Rares - and only if "Capture Rares" is checked.
