New to this Bot.

Just downloaded this bot a couple min's ago.

I am trying the create a grinding profile with all the plugins enabled I found from this post. https://www.thebuddyforum.com/wildbuddy-forum/plugins/229718-bunch-assist-plugins.html


Couple probs:


1. Im an Esper and I am using the default combat routine but its not casting my Telekinetic Strike at all which is the bread of butter of this character as far as I know right now?
*EDIT* Figured this out from the log. I had to Enabled RESTRAINT cause it was trying to cast it over and over which then enabled it to start Telekinetic strike.

2. When my char dies and rez's, it will try to attack NPC's?
*EDIT* It was not targeting NPC's, it was targeting a bird on top of a building that it couldnt hit. Can you blacklist mobs?

3. Sometimes when it gets in an area it will just run in large circles and not attack anything in the process.


Anyone else have these issues with #3?

2) You are able to pick and choose mobs to kill by filling out the CreatureIds attribute (see below), for the mobs you DO want to kill that end up unpathable, GrindTag has a built in blacklist feature you can enable using the 'NoBlacklist' attribute (see below again).

3) Not entirely sure what this may be doing, but you may have to increase or add Hotspots to your GrindArea (ALT+CTRL+H to auto generate one) to include more killing regions! Also, you'll want to set ExcludeNeutral to 'false' if you are attacking yellows! (See below! )

<Profile Name="Grind Template" Author="DD" Version="1.0">

  <Grind CreatureIds="12345, 23456" ExcludeNeutral="false" NoBlacklist="false">

    <Vendor>
      <MaxQuality>Inferior</MaxQuality>
      <VendorNPCs>
        <VendorNPC CreatureId="" CreatureName="" MapId="" X="" Y="" Z="" />
      </VendorNPCs>
    </Vendor>

I can't get the GrindTag to work at all it says:
Unknown profile element: <Grind CreatureIds="36977" ExcludeNeutral="false" NoBlacklist="false">

I tried grabbing the latest version of QuestHeper.
Is there some sort of beta that I am missing I dont even see Grind.cs in the SVN.

I have gotten something like this to load, but it just says the vendor is not found a bunch of times?

How do I get the MapId, perhaps this is why it doesnt see the vendor?
I have tried leaving it blank and removing it entirely.

<Profile Name="" Author="mfaiola" Version="1.0">
    <Vendor>
      <MaxQuality>Excellent</MaxQuality>
      <VendorNPCs>
        <VendorNPC CreatureId="" CreatureName="" MapId="" X="" Y="" Z="" />
      </VendorNPCs>
    </Vendor>
  
    <Repair PreferClosest="true">
      <RepairNPCs>
        <RepairNPC CreatureId="" CreatureName="" MapId="" X="" Y="" Z="" />
      </RepairNPCs>
    </Repair>

    <Kill PullRange="7" Radius="150" Creature="" X="" Y="" Z="" Timeout="60"/>

    </Profile>

Walk up to the Vendor you want to add in-game, and (with the bot running) hit Alt+Shift+D. Information about the current target will be dumped to the bot window, where you can pull the location information (already in XML format).

Nice! Appreciate the help guys.... She is working great!!

Ya, I dont know why it was doing the loop but I switched areas, created a new profile and its been flawless since.

Thanks!

oic Grind is not a QuestHelper Tag then lol

 

[Deathdisguise]

For your issue noted here, it's probably bombing out on CreatureIds within the Grind tag, the correct element is CreatureId, it was a typo before, with that element it should work.

No no no no no!

There is no CreatureId element, CreatureIds element, or any other creature specifying element for GrindTag!

<!-- This is an element example -->
<Element></Element>

<!-- This is an attribute example-->
<Element [B][U]Attribute=""[/U][/B] >
</Element>

The above useage for GrindTag is correct; it is in fact CreatureIds="" (plural!), and it definitely is not an element.

Interesting, as I've been using the CreatureId attribute in my grind profiles successfully, changed in one that I'm using now and get the same results, interesting.

If you were using CreatureId, it assumed nothing was specified (since CreatureIds was blank), so it simply killed everything, in most scenarios this would be the same behavior!

 

[s3rv0]

if I add CreatureIds, will it kill only the ones I've added?

It'll (attempt to) defend itself against ones you have agro'd, but it'll actively hunt only the ones listed, yes.
