How do we fix SRS casting?

OldRoutine is designed for common spammy skills with little actual skill logic or synergy. You need a custom routine if you want a good SRS build to properly work. Check the other forum sections to see if anyone is working on one, as if it's a popular skill, someone might. Otherwise, you can try tinkering with the routine settings, but that's only going to get you so far.

Well The thing is pushedx, in old routine there's some settings there, that are only about SRS and they've been there for a long time, as stated in the old routine guide here: https://www.thebuddyforum.com/exilebuddy-forum/exilebuddy-guides/178477-exampleroutine-guide.html

SummonRagingSpiritCountPerDelay - How many casts to perform before the delay happens.
SummonRagingSpiritDelayMs - How long should the CR wait after performing all the casts.
SummonSkeletonCountPerDelay - How many casts to perform before the delay happens.



I've used the bot for this before and those settings worked fine, now changing anything in those settings doesn't do anything at all, I don't think I need a custom routine for SRS when SRS has always worked fine with old routine using those settings that are there specifically to configure how SRS is to be used by the bot, can those settings be fixed?

edit: when I bought this bot again, I had absolutely no idea that those settings don't do anything anymore and are there for pure cosmetic purposes, it's a good thing I bought only one license and not 6, because I have 5 SRS bots in standard now that are basically useless that worked just fine with my old lifetimes that are also now gone.

If I knew how to write custom routines I would maybe use something other than SRS, but I don't, so I used something supported by the bot, and the old routine guide even talks about those settings, that don't do anything, so I'm coming here for help, because it's an integral part of the bot, and it's not working, it's not a custom routine, srs configuration options are in the vanilla bot, they always have been and they are not doing anything.

So again, please fix it?

You need a custom routine if you want better results than OldRoutine delivers. I just tested the settings and they are still working exactly as intended.

Set SummonRagingSpiritCountPerDelay to the number of casts that should be used to cast spirits each batch. For example, 10 would mean cast SRS 10 times.
Set SummonRagingSpiritDelayMs to the delay between casts of batches, for example 1000, for 1s.

When the CR logic goes to execute SRS, it will cast SRS SummonRagingSpiritCountPerDelay times, then it'll trigger a wait period of SummonRagingSpiritDelayMs.

Depending on your build or what other skills you are using, you'll adjust those as needed as this SRS setup is as a support skill, that is, cast X times per Y time interval, as most people don't want to sit around casting SRS all day long from one spot.

But is it casting SRS very slowly no matter what settings you have? For example for me it's casting like twice and then it takes a break, even if I change the settings to have like 30 casts before delay kicks in, the actual cast of SRS is very slow and you can see in the log I pasted its taking breaks, why is this happening? All it need to do is keep the button pressed until X srs are cast and then take that delay.

The logic for SRS hasn't changed much since it was added pretty much back when OldRoutine was called ExampleRoutine. What you are seeing, has always been the case. It casts, waits, casts, waits, casts waits and so on. This design has always been in place and did not change recently. Here's the CR from May 10th, 2015: https://gist.github.com/pushedx/b0cbb6a00f68c94b04c1f064159f243e

If you don't want it to do that, then you need different logic for it, either via a custom routine or rewrite the SRS casting logic in OldRoutine. UseAt is the slow method, and BeginUseAt is the faster method, but requires different logic to work properly since the client is now casting for you when the bot isn't hooked. This was a major improvement to the bot in 2.2 to support fast moving/casting stuff unlike ever before.

It looks much slower now (and input wise, it is), because the general skill use and movement of the bot was updated for 2.2 to be much, much faster while causing minimal issues, but all the utility skills in OldRoutine were not updated to this model, and won't be since you need a different set of logic for those skills. OldRoutine is very limited, and already bloated enough, and not the ideal solution for custom builds to make the most out of all the skills in the game.

So, as with any other specialty skills, OldRoutine always has, and always will, offer very limited to no support for those types of skills but provides example logic for CR authors to work from.

Hopefully that makes more sense. The issue isn't with SRS, but rather any skill that tries to use the logic SRS currently does (UseAt). You need different, tailored logic for it to cast as fast as possible with no delays.
 
So can you help with this? for example if I replace UseAt with BeginUseAt, it seems to always casts continuously for 5 sec, then it will stop and do other things.

I've changed with beginuseat in the code below which controlls the casting, my question is how do I lower the continuous cast from 5000ms, to something lower, I cant seem to find any time setting or blocks of code in old routine that use this so I can even get an idea, I tried some stuff but I'm not a coder so im just getting errors all the time. I don't want it to do wonders, it works fine already with just beginguseat, but I would like the continuous duration cast to be lower, let's say around 2000-3000 ms or so.



if (_summonRagingSpiritSlot != -1 &&
_summonRagingSpiritStopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds >
OldRoutineSettings.Instance.SummonRagingSpiritDelayMs)
{
var skill = LokiPoe.InGameState.SkillBarHud.Slot(_summonRagingSpiritSlot);
var max = skill.GetStat(StatTypeGGG.NumberOfRagingSpiritsAllowed);
if (skill.NumberDeployed < max && skill.CanUse())
{
++_summonRagingSpiritCount;

await Coroutines.FinishCurrentAction();

var err1 = LokiPoe.InGameState.SkillBarHud.BeginUseAt(_summonRagingSpiritSlot, true, targetPosition);

if (_summonRagingSpiritCount >=
OldRoutineSettings.Instance.SummonRagingSpiritCountPerDelay)
{
_summonRagingSpiritCount = 0;
_summonRagingSpiritStopwatch.Restart();
}

if (err1 == LokiPoe.InGameState.UseResult.None)
{
await Coroutines.LatencyWait();

await Coroutines.FinishCurrentAction(false);

await Coroutines.LatencyWait();

return true;
}



below i'll just paste part of the log to show that it always just keeps casting for 5000 ms and then does other things:

I just completely deleted this entire part. It resolved my issue as it makes it cast like a normal spell. however you have no control on how many you will be able to place, but it stops when it kills the target
