LVL 50 grind profiles

[botosan]

Are there any 50 grind profiles? Drop 4 incoming and renown will become a more valuable currency, not to mention grinding guild influence sucks balls.

Not that I know of, stankywizard was working on some Exile grind profiles - but I believe he's only up to level 14 with them.

Making Grind profiles are fairly easy though, you can follow this template:

<Profile Name="Grind Template" Author="EchoTiger" Version="1">
	<Grind Condition="1==1" >
		<CreatureIds>1, 2, 3, 4</CreatureIds>
		<Repair PreferClosest="true" >
			<RepairNPCs>
				<RepairNPC Name="Name Of NPC" CreatureId="ID Of NPC" X="..." Y="..." Z="..." MapId="..."  ExileFaction="true" />
			</RepairNPCs>
		<Repair>
		<Vendor>
			<Vendors>
				<VendorNPC Name="Name Of NPC" CreatureId="ID Of NPC" X="..." Y="..." Z="..." MapId="..."  ExileFaction="true" />
			</Vendors>
		</Vendor>
		<GrindArea>
			<Hotspot X="..." Y="..." Z="..." Timeout="750" Range="200" />
		</GrindArea>
	</Grind>
</Profile>

The <Repair /> and <Vendor /> tags are optional.


By clicking on a mob in-game and pushing CTRL+ALT+H - Wildbuddy will print out a Hotspot for you on the log which can be copied+pasted into the <GrindArea> tags.
By clicking on a mob in-game and pushing Shift+Ctrl+Alt+D - Wildbuddy will print out a information dump of the mob you're clicked on. This will have any important information needed (such as Ids, etc.)

so I started making a very simply grind profile with that template. I took out the vendors cause I'll be babysitting it anyway. I only set 1 hotspot so far, but the bot will kill a few mobs but then does this back and forth dance of like 2-3meters each way like it's looking for stuff to kill. Is it because the range may be too far or not enough hotspots? From the inital test it looks very promising tho. Think I'll add more hotspots with shorter ranges.

Hm, this may be the bug I've noticed as well where if the bot is going toward a moving target, the navigation will spazz out a bit.
Did adding more Hotspots fix it for you?

I added alot more hotspots with a smaller range, it seemed to run a lil smoother but then started spazzing out, going back and forth 2-3m. It looks like moving mobs might be the culprit. Also does the bot change ingame settings? click to move, double tap to dash etc? I notice I cant dash after turning off the bot unless I check/uncheck double tap to dash.

Yea, it turns off some things to prevent potential movement errors.
Although Apoc had the bot do this in the earlier versions of Wildbuddy because at the time it wasn't optimized for framerate, and lag would cause the navigation to 'dash' the player unintentionally.
It *may* be safe for this to be removed now(?)

Apoc would have to chime in for details on this though.

 

[Apoc]

The bot does disable "Double-Tap To Dash", simply for the fact of how movement is handled.

Wildbuddy will work with either normal "keyboard" movement (which is why the DTTD is turned off), or with CTM movement.

The problem is that we sometimes "spam" a movement direction to get the character going, and having that double-tap enabled, it would constantly dash around and fall off things. The bot does spit out a message for the macro to turn that back on when you're finished botting.

Can you send me a log of the bot spazzing out and "dancing" ?

so right now the bot couldn't do anything without a grinding profile? Do I need to make one myself first?

Wildbuddy is much like Honorbuddy or Demonbuddy.

The bot itself is just a bot. The profiles are the "instruction sheets" that tells the bot which paths to take, what monsters to kill, etc.
So if you want it to grind a set pack of monsters, you'll have to write a profile to tell it to do so.

Most profiles aren't that elaborate, most of the time you can just look at them and figure them out what means what without having any prior code-knoweledge.
To make your own profile, you could download the ones provided by stankywizard located here: Exile Grind Profiles -- In Progress and then you could slightly modify them to include the coordinates/monsters you want.
