Old vs. New

[cassondra]

I have been using Exilebuddy for a few weeks now, and I used demonbuddy for several months last year.

Kudos on Demonbuddy, it was a fantastic program that never resulted in a ban. The combat routines and pathing were excellent too.

Exilebuddy caused two account/IP bans, and one currency flag in the last two months.

I am quite sure that the bans were a result of using chicken and logging in/out too many times in a very short period of time.

I only used chicken for about 30 minutes on two accounts, and the following morning they were banned.

Since then, I have used the stable/release bot for 8 to 24 hours per day on over a dozen accounts without any bans or flags.

Unfortunately, when I updated the stable version just now, it installed the beta version which is completely unusable for me.

I also tried a new install last night of the beta version with the same results.

Exilebot will not use any skills no matter what I do.

Braiiins and Apoc Ranger will use some skills, but they don't use flasks, skelle totem, or frenzy.

After dying a dozen times, I gave up.

Is there any chance of allowing us to use the old stable bot until you get the beta under control?

Thanks for the great products,

C

The "stable" bot is the cause of many account flags, etc. The issue is not chicken, or login/out stuff.

Could you give me the logs of when it doesn't use abilities? (Are the abilities on your bar? Etc?)

I don't understand how the conclusion is the Release version is the cause of bans/currency flags. I have botted 1-81 / 1-69 / 1-64 /1-60 so made 4 toons on the same account with Release version with no bans or flags. I have actually had to resort to using Exiled-bot because Beta is unusable

I tried removing all gems except one attack gem, and I had both "move" and an "attack" on my bar. I tried lightning strike, dual strike, double strike, and infernal strike. The only way that I could get Exilebot to attack is with basic attack on the bar. It won't use any skills. This was true with both the beta two days ago and the autoupdate from stable to beta last night.

To be clear, I was botting 24 hours a day 7 days a week for a couple months using two of my dozen accounts at a time 8-24 hours per day with the same IP and on the same computer without any flagging issues or bans.

I would like access to the old stable bot if possible.

Which logs/filenames would you like? I never paid attention to them over the last couple years since I usually have no issues running them.

The logs from the bot that isn't using any abilities. (Both the normal, and the errors logs)

I tried fresh downloads of both stable and beta versions, and it fixed the red errors in the log, but it still only uses autoattack. It won't use skills, potions or auras.

 

[Apoc]

According to your log, it's only set to use Heavy Strike. Are you able to actually cast that ability? (Eg; are you using a weapon that isn't supported by it?)

What did the bot do exactly when a monster was nearby that it should have attacked? (The log only gives so much information unfortunately)

With Exile combat routine, I get the same response from using lightning strike, heavy strike, infernal blow, double attack, etc...

The character runs up to the mobs and does nothing. If I have standard attack on the bar, it will use that.

I tried stop/start several times with each skill, and the bot will not use any of them.

The bot won't use potions either.

Apoc Ranger will use lightning strike, but not frenzy.

Brains will not use any skills or potions.

Again, the bots were all working well until the Beta was installed through the auto update.

I fixed it...

The bot will only use the default keyboard inputs. I had them all remapped.

I'll check the auras and potions use later after work.

Thanks Apoc

Are you sure that it was the keyboard inputs?

If so, that's a huge bug that we'll need to fix. (I apologize if that's the case)

Which keyboard layout do you use?

Keyboard

I use a custom layout including the number pad and some logitech keyboard/mouse software changes, so it's not a big deal to me. I can just have one account set up for manual play and the rest on default for bots.

Thanks again for all your efforts,

C

This issue has been fixed! Thanks for figuring out what it was!
