Hello Projectcarry. I am a big fan of Kevins short profiles. They have historically been the most consistently stable/afkable profiles available for the last 2 months. Unfortunarely, SimpleFollow doesn't share my enthusiasm. It HATES short profiles. Between join-leave-rejoining, wonky out of game detection, and quick zone changing confusing followers it seems SimpleFollow just isn't designed to cater to short profiles like Ghom.
Luckily, the plugins code is actually super easy to understand and modify so I put a lot of time trying out various tweaks to get SimpleFollow working smoothly. I tweaked the plugin to work much better with Manglemaw when it was popular and now I've done the same for Ghom.
This is certainly not a perfect solution but it performs 5 times better than 'stock' SimpleFollow. I can AFK this over night and it will only break if my Follower dies (like if Ghom decides to target him out of 10 pets for 10 attacks in a row - Very rare)
This is set up to work for Ghom ONLY.
How To Use
- Download FollowTag.cs, Ghom_SF_Optimised.xml, and SimpleFollow.xml from the attachments section.
- Go to DemonBuddy/Plugins/SimpleFollow. Find the file there called FollowTag.cs and rename it to "backup" with no file extension. - If you use multiple DB folders make sure you are in your FOLLOWERS folder.
- Place your newly downloaded FollowTag.cs in that same folder.
- Open or Restart DemonBuddy.
- Load Ghom_SF_Optimised.xml as your leaders profile.
- Load the newly downloaded SimpleFollow.xml as your followers profile.
- Change your leaders new game timer to at least 5 seconds between games.
- Enjoy a smoother bot!
What Has Changed
- Removed the leader-in-game checking that constantly makes followers join-leave-rejoin every game. There is no need for this check when running Ghom.
- Followers will now wait in town for your leader to start the boss fight. This cuts out a loading screen and stops your leader getting confused when followers dont immediately accept a boss prompt (ie prompt appears during loading).
- Followers can now only leave game from the boss room.
- Followers now leave game when leader uses TownPortal. These 2 prevent a bug that occurred where my Followers seemed to randomly leave game before the leader could then rejoin and sit in town while the leader was out of game.
- The quest NPC right next to the spawn point has been blacklisted. Prevents Followers ignoring a boss prompt if they are currently talking to that dude.
- :Leader will no longer leave game outside the boss room if there is a 0.1 second delay on the boss prompt.
This works best when only looting legendaries. Town runs works most of the time but 1 out of 15 or so times the leader will teleport out of Ghoms room and townrun rather than townrunning at the start of a new game. This breaks followers.
Lastly, your followers need to be able to survive. If they die and the boss isn't killed within 2-3 seconds after that then they will return to town.
