[Party Plugin] SimpleFollow - Multi-Bot Party Plugin

I went into the Trinity settings on the followers and disabled it. Maybe I didnt get the right setting, but I edited each XML config for the followers and I believe I corrected that but the followers still kept destroying stuff.

Even if I did get that fixed, the whole train comes crashing in about 30min due to some exception being thrown. The whole thing is extremely unreliable.
 
I've noticed while running the Ghom profile, I keep running into the same issues.

1.
Code: 
[SimpleFollow]We are Out of game, Leader is In Game - Leaving Party for re-invite

Map starts with all 3 bots in the game. Leader opens his party tab to invite or something, and instantly one or both followers decide to throw the above code and leave the game.​

2.
Code: 
Waiting for x bots to leave the game
This isn't the exact code but it is something along these lines. I can't find it to copy it because it RARELY works! If it did work all the time that would be amazing! any way to always enforce this?​

3.
Code: 
 Waiting xx.x seconds before next game...
If none of the above issues can be fixed, I was wondering if there was a way to just always make the timer more than 10 seconds or so. It would certainly be more efficient in the long run because it gives more time for the bots to leave the game when point #2 fails to trigger (which is pretty often). The extra time would allow the leader to re-invite bot3 (because he loves to leave the party) and allow a fresh start.​

4. Maybe rrix or anyone else can tell me what profile they run so I don't have to find one that actually works with SimpleFollow/RYAR. I've tried a bunch but they just keep having all sorts of issues of their own. I am assuming since he developed RYAR and SimpleFollow, he actually has a profile running somewhat consistently. Please do share =). All I wan't is to be able to run RYAR and SimpleFollow and a profile, any profile that works and is semi-afkable. As it stands, I can't even find a profile that will run for more than 5 minutes without running into issues.

Thanks for all your hard work rrix, please keep it up.
 
Does someone know how to leader bot never open "social window"?
Mine seems like always freezing (not responding forever) when it's opening social window right after finishing a game.
 
this plugin is just to unstable to be used right now, would be nice to hear from the OP.
 
No, its not... Ive used it the past two days with YAR and its working fine. Had one problem but it was due to YAR starting the follower first for some reason.
 
I find it pretty inconsistent. One day I can do hours at a time. Others they party never wants to stay together. What profile and DB build + other plugins are you using stevelulwow? Perhaps those who are successfully running it can let others know what is actually work at the moment.
 
what profile are you using bobat? are you also running Riftbot plugin? Would really help if people post what profiles work.

None of the 3 musketeers work for me. I'm running the newest DB beta with SF, RYAR, Trinity, and Questtools.

I can get maybe 1 run in before the leader leaves, the follower decides to town portal somewhere, and the leader tries to make another game without him out and have to wait for a restart of leader... super slow.

Really need a way to implement this code all the time after every leave:

Code: 
Waiting for x bots to leave the game

I've seen it rarely, if rrix could make it always enforced, that would make these short runs feasible.

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.

What do you need?
DemonBuddy 359 Official Release - http://updates.buddyauth.com/GetNewest?filter=Demonbuddy
Trinity 1.8.25 - http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/plugins/trinity/159310-trinity-1-8-25-a.html
Custom SimpleFollow 1.3.17 - Attached to this post

How To Use
  1. Download and FRESH INSTALL DemonBuddy 359 from the link above
  2. Go to DemonBuddy/Plugins/ and delete the Trinity and QuestTools folder (QuestTools is not required for this profile).
  3. Download Trinity 1.8.25 from the link above and unpack the Trinity folder to DemonBuddy/Plugins/
  4. Download CustomGhom-SimpleFollow 1.3.17.zip from the attachments section.
  5. Unpack the SimpleFollow folder to DemonBuddy/Plugins/
  6. Download Ghom_SF_Optimised.xml, SimpleFollow.xml
  7. Open or restart DemonBuddy
  8. Load Ghom_SF_Optimised.xml as your leaders profile.
  9. Load SimpleFollow.xml as your followers profile.
  10. Change your leaders new game timer to 8 seconds. You may be able to go lower, or you might have to go higher - depends on your load speed.
  11. Suggested: Set to only loot legendaries
  12. 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 don't 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.

Known Bugs
Sometimes leader will 'hang' by the the entrance to the Larder. This only seems to sometimes happen on the first run after starting the bot and it will never 'randomly' happen if the first run goes smoothly. Restart demonbuddy to fix.
If your Leader attempts to start a new game before your follower has left it will freeze D3. Set your leaders new game timer correctly to fix (you may have to experiment with timing. I use 8 seconds)


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.

Just me or is customGhom simplefollow.zip empty?
 
Glancey,

My leader just runs in the fight without inviting my follower.

Got it to invite. But now sometimes the follower stands still during the Ghom fight. It's a WD and only casts gargantuan from the spot you get tp'd to... and dies. and ruins it all.

Nothing I can do about that I'm afraid. Try the newest version of Trinity.

I set up my custom Ghom based on running multiple Barbarians and I found Trinity 1.8.25 to be the most stable version. The newer Trinity versions may now work just as well, but be careful.. theres a high chance you will need QuestTools to run this profile when using Trinity 1.9.x so don't delete that plugin.
 
[SimpleFollow] Waiting for 2 followers to leave game... <- How can I disable this waiting option? It causes freeze(not responding) so I want to remove it.

which .cs file should I edit?

and also how can I make the leader's DB not open "social window" after leaving a game? It's very laggy. Because there's 'stay in party' option, it's useless.

If I want to control my main and have my alts assisting me via demonbuddy, how would I do that with this plugin? I've managed to get it to work once, but most of the time, the leader just repeatedly attempts to return to town.
