I tried using v2.0.4 and it made the followers lag (the leader didnt lag).
using v1.0.10 now and its working fine.
any idea what cud cause the lag while using v2.0.4?

That lagging is an odd one. Not sure why the 2.x.x version caused such a lag, but the 1.0.10.x ones don't.

Are you using the 1.0.10.1 or higher ? 1.0.10 won't actualy restart new runs properly.

I'm rebuilding the plugin and will test and keep an eye out for lagging of the followers.

Okay, cool, the working version as 1.0.10.4

Thanks for figuring that out to be the problem. Shame it's not the reason why the original crashes occurred. Although I am thinking it is along the same lines.

Anyway, I'll add the portal usage tomorrow, in stages, and run extensive test runs before I release it.

Nope, this is not compatible with Trinity yet. I need to resolve this crashing problem before getting back to the Trinity fix.

I'm no expert on builds, but my Monks seem to work well with:

MOUSE SKILLS
PRIMARY
Fists of Thunder - Thunderclap
FOCUS
Mystic Ally - Air Ally

ACTION BAR SKILLS
DEFENSIVE
Serenity - Ascension

TECHNIQUES
Sweeping Wind - Blade Storm

DEFENSIVE
Blinding Flash - Faith in the Light

MANTRAS
Mantra of Healing
Time of Need

PASSIVE SKILLS
Chant of Resonance
One with Everything
Seize the Initiative

ah understood. Any chance you have a timeframe as to when you will support trinity. I've been running trinity on my monk/wiz for a few days now works lovely. I would love this plugin to make them run together but obviously cannot yet

May be a while

I have added the Trinity setting to the Dude's config window, but at present it does nothing.

I need to get the dude/follower portal usage back into the plugin before I go back to the Trinity fix. We'll see what tomorrow brings re that, as I have a free day.

------------------------------------------------
NEW VERSION - 1.0.10.5
Non portal usage version

You can now set the distance the dude will follow the leader from (if that makes sense? I'm tired... sleep needed!). Range is 0 to 100.

shinavaka · Nov 21, 2012

amazing release although it still crashes on leader every few hours or so, but i have combined it with a relogger and have been leveling 17 characters to 60 with this plugins help over the last 16 hours

morfious · Nov 21, 2012

Did not tried the new release, but all releases before does not disband party, and then the leader trying to start the game, and get errors because party is not disbanded.

Excellent update and feature. Thanks so much for this. As I play the leader manually and also use ISBOXER to control my group, the most important feature I'm looking for now is the Trinity support.

Just love this plugin.,...

crashes

Which versions crashed? All the 1.0.10.x versions ?

I'll run a party all day today, and see if I can find out what is causing the crash.

Strange? All versions from 1.0.10.1 should disband the party.

Or are you using the original PartyDude, re the email ? That won't disband the party, well it did not. I have just uploaded a new version which does disband the party, version 1.2.1
You definitely need to run with a tough group with that version of the plugin. I nearly crapped myself as I saw my WD head off to a nasty looking elite, while the rest of the group moved away as they stuck to the profile path. Luckily my WD managed to deal with the elite, but only just!

thanks,

This plugin has added a whole new dimension to the game for me, in the playing of it. Lots of fun guiding a group through the areas

Just as soon as I can re-implement the portal usage, I'll get back on to the Trinity fix.

yeah all the versions crash, ill post a log next time it crashes and i know which log it is but from what i can see its always in high-traffic situations (using a leader and leecher to level accounts up) ex: dying at wps repeatedly due to low levels/bad gear, and also rarely during game creation when the follower is looking for the leader, the leader will crash and not the follower. Let me generate some logs tonight and ill post them in the morning

Okay, cool, or not, lol

I've cleared out all the logs file, and will run the party for the day, and see what happens. Hopefully it will be obvious what is causing the crashes.

Strange thing though, as I ran all the versions for many hours, well except for the last one, 1.0.10.5, and had no problems.

Oh well, we'll see what pops up.

Meanwhile I still start re-implementing the portal usage.

-------------------------------------------

Hey, Shinavaka, which relogger are you using ?
I thought this plugin could not work with reloggers!

I should list all the useful plugins this can work with.

NinjadGuy · Nov 21, 2012

using 1.0.10.5 for about 10 hours straight with no crashes.
really love the distance feature, keep up the good work!

Excellent news, thanks for the report

Yeah, I was surprised at how well that distance thing worked. It works well for people who want to keep weak chars back and out of harms way for as long as possible (a request made a while back by someone here), also to ensure casters stay behind melee classes during the actual run, so that the melee classes are engaged in combat by the mobs first.

I'll start the portal re-implementation and testing now.

just upgraded to db .285 last night and i have no crash logs to give you, sorry, but good news, that was 9 hours of botting w/o any crashes on 8 accounts

Thanks for the report, and YEY, that's what I like to hear

So we have what appears to be a nice and stable version in 1.0.10.5

Now we just need one with portal usage included! (yes, and Trinity fix

)

I put the portal usage code into 1.0.10.5, and it crashed, and crashed, and crashed some more. So, I may have to rewrite it, but before I give up on it, I'm going to see if I can track down the cause... mainly just to be sure I don't repeat the mistake.

One thing is for sure, the original crashing and lag is due to the portal usage code, and specifically the new algorithm, or at least the code that makes up the algorithm.

Also, I am certain the algorithm itself is sound, it's an error I must have made in the code somewhere.

morfious · Nov 21, 2012

I still have some problems,don't know why, but here is some explanation:

1. v1.0.10.2 Join to the leaders party and start to follow him after this log

Invite incoming!
[21:51:10.501 N] Accepting the invite to the party
[21:51:10.501 N] Attempting to get my party ID
[21:51:10.501 N] ***********************************
[21:51:10.501 N] Party ID = \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Temp\Comms\Dude1State
[21:51:10.501 N] ***********************************
[21:51:22.794 N] GameChanged. Clearing actors
[21:51:22.794 N] New game!
[21:51:22.794 N] Wait for the leader to create a new game
[21:51:26.507 N] I HAVE LOST THE LEADER!!!!

and this is ok for now.

But when i try the new versions, 1.0.10.4 - 1.0.10.5
The follower after joining the game, stay in the town, when the leader already started the route.
here is the log:

Invite incoming!
[22:56:03.964 N] Accepting the invite to the party
[22:56:03.964 N] Attempting to get my party ID
[22:56:03.964 N] ***********************************
[22:56:03.964 N] Party ID = \\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Temp\Comms\Dude1State
[22:56:03.964 N] ***********************************
[22:56:12.451 N] GameChanged. Clearing actors
[22:56:12.607 N] New game!
[22:56:12.607 N] Wait for the leader to create a new game
[22:56:15.929 N] We are in Party Creation mode
[22:56:15.992 N] We are in Party Creation mode

but fixed this by removing:

/////////// TESTING
if (nearBossPortal())
{
Log("leaderLevelAreaChangeCheck() - WARNING! We are near a Boss portal!");
}
/////////// TESTING

Next thing is about leaving game and disbanding the party by leader.
He really doing this, but after inctivity trigger forces the leader to leave the game ( in my case, it is happens after 2 minutes once the profile comes to his end).
Don't know if this is supposed to happen in that way.
Some log:

Loading next profile: C:\Demon profiles\blablabla_profile.xml
[22:51:36.221 N] [RadsAtom] - Resetting the deathcounter.
every 5 seconds or so until leaving game due to inactivity

P.s. Maby bug, maby once again my stupid system:
When the follower is too far away from the leader. He trying to use a town portal,
and if he is attacked by something when already started to cast, he does not fight back, just trying to use tp until he die.

gdoubleok · Nov 21, 2012

Can anyone that has been using it for a while tell me what routine they are using?

Also what loot rules they seem to be using because i loved giles able to pick up only 61+ rares etc not even bothering with blues and such.

Ah, yeah that is an issue. I need to look at that. put in some sort of test for nearby mobs.

I use Belphegor for the combat routine.

You'll need to define your own loot rules, at least until I can apply the Trinity fix.

What do you want your bots to pickup, keep, and salvage ?

Here's an example of the loot rules when running Inferno:

PHP:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<ItemRules name="Inferno Item Rules" useRoundedValues="true">
  <!-- The order in which item rules are evaluated. Typically, this is fine for almost all rule sets. 
  However, you may want to switch things around sometimes if you want to force-sell things that may match keep rules. -->
  <Priority priority1="Keep" priority2="Salvage" priority3="Sell" />

  <Categories>
    <Category ruleType="PickUp">
      
      <!-- Pick up all magic+ items -->
      <ItemRule>
        <StatRules>
		  <Rule stat="quality" value="Magic1" />
        </StatRules>
      </ItemRule>
	  
	  <!-- Pick up designs and plans, blacksmithin -->
	  <ItemRule itemName="*Plan*" stack="1" />
	  <ItemRule itemName="*Design*" stack="1" />

      <!-- Pick up gold, at least in stacks of 1 -->
      <ItemRule itemName="Gold" stack="1" />
      
      <!-- Pick up all pages and tomes, blacksmithing/jewelcrafting -->
      <ItemRule itemName="Page of*" stack="1" />
      <ItemRule itemName="Tome of*" stack="1" />
      
      <!-- Gems -->
      <ItemRule itemName="Square Emerald" />
      <ItemRule itemName="Flawless Square*" />

      <!-- Health potions -->

      <!-- Gems -->
      <ItemRule itemName="Square Emerald" />
      <ItemRule itemName="Flawless Square*" />

Not sure if it's me, but has anyone noticed that the followers/dudes aren't fighting nearly as much as they should?
