[Plugin] Giles Stash & Loot Rule Replacer

Radonic said:
Just a question. Does itemBaseType="Armor" and itemBaseType="Weapon" pick up all weapons and armor parts now, or is it still just the ones that DB recognice?

In loot rule .xml files, avoid using them where possible, still unreliable because of DB memory reading errors. Focusing just on quality/item level, and for weapons just DPS (not the item type or level) is going to have most success - still no guarantees, but I find it has less errors than relying on item-types (which seem to bug out the most in being mis-read).

Damn it... Then its not really doesnt do any difference for me :( Thanks anyway!

Edit: Hope they fix the memory reading soon!
 
the plugin can not open the stash after identify, but can do it after salvage. i guess it's related to the location from where it opens the stash?
BTW, it works good with v1.0
 
Heya Giles! First of all I just want to say I'm extremely fond of your creations and I always find it very interesting to read your posts / follow your work.. I've now had quite a lot of experience with your diff. plugins! Been watching my bot runs for several hours to figure out ups n downs.. First off I'd liek to ask you how come my bot is stashing so much useless stuff ( also some good stuff but.. ) I mean stuff like blue Xbows with no stats at all, nor high damage. Even every blue follower item it's stashing for some odd reason..?? Offen I see heads being stored only cuz they got a socket and a bit of MF etc. etc. Ofcourse I understand if making this plugin perfect in all of those matters, is one big mess and won't be possible! But I'd like to know if it's something you noticed yourself or even heard of?

Also if my stash is completely packed.. What will happen then? Let's say it's trying to stash a good item, and your chest is full. Will it then just salvage the item with the rest of the salvaged ones..? Just wondering :)

I'll get back to you later on, with some other concerns hehe.. For now good work bro! You're awsum hehe..

Quoting again to see if anyone can help still. No logs really possible as it freezes before all the plugins even load up properly

From that list i use NotificationOkClick and SarkothFarmer (Inrego's Sarkoth run) with this Giles plugin and all works fine.

Really great job Giles with the plugin. Many thanks
 
is there anyway to make it pick up all gold on the ground I have edited the xml to stacks of 1 but it never grabs all the gold dropped ?

Sounds like you have changed the scores required in the config window to be too low? Go into the config window of the plugin (while the bot is not running), and set them back to their default values (or even a little higher if you want);
Default values:
Weapons: 70000
Armor: 15000
Jewelry: 13500

These are the values I strongly recommend. But if you want, you could try adding 5-10k to weapons, 2-3k to armor, and 2-3k to jewelry (or more if you want).

Make sure to click "Save Settings". You can test these values by going back into the config window, and clicking the "Test Backpack" scores button with some items in your backpack - it'll list the items out one by one, along with a score, and it's rating (Keep or Trash) of each item, so you can see if you're happy with what items it thinks are worth keeping to sell.

This plugin does not alter pickups. Check your other plugins or routines - you may have looting set to disabled, or be using a plugin that ignores gold (eg the various Sarkoth plugins often ignore gold, and let you have a high pickup-radius to auto collect it instead). If you are using my "Giles World Object Handler" plugin - then that ignores piles of gold smaller than 300 (but loots gold higher) - though only if you don't have other plugins trying to disable gold pickup altogether.

Are you using any plugins that alter identifying? Also, what does it do - does the bot run up to the stash and do nothing (no stash window pops up and it gets stuck)... or does the stash window open, and THEN it gets stuck?
 
Oh well, I changed the weapon one a tiny bit due to a few weapons I noticed it not stashing which I thought was quite awsum! Anyhow that shouldn't affect "Follower" items should it? :) Or.. I even tried to change it back and see if it still behaved that way.. Which it did after some time watching it. No idea hehe!

Also I was wondering is there any way to make it only store the "Flawless Square Gems" and not the "Square Gems". That could be a heroic thing for my lack of inventory as well ;)
 
Is it the stash stuck problem fixed with the latest version? I'm at work and can't test it right now. Thanks in advance :)

Just play with the "test backpack button" in the config window to get an idea of what scores items get. You should never see junk being listed as "Keep" if your scores as set right. Do you have a junk follower item in your backpack you can test this with now to see what the plugin thinks of it? Be aware that DemonBuddy only supports Scoundrel follower items atm.

As for the gems - it stashes all gems because your loot rules should be dictating what type of gems get picked up. And if you were using the loot-rules on the first post, you'd only be picking up flawless square gems. So I wonder if you are using some other/custom loot rules with this plugin? My advice would be - don't - they can cause problems. Other loot-rules are designed to try to do everything themselves. This plugin replaces almost all functionality of those loot-rules, and so needs specially-customised loot-rules!

As far as I know, it's completely fixed for everyone that was previously having problems! Give it a try and post back when you can test it yourself, let me (and others!) know if it's all working for you :D
 
One thing Giles, I haven't peeked much at your plugin, but is it possible that you make it so it blacklists items it can't pickup after 3 tries or so?

Sometimes items drop when your stash's already full and the bot will stand there stupid trying to infinitely pickup the item. That's a sort of red flag for investigation, lol.

Thanks

Item looting (the actual "physical" process of picking items up) is still completely down to DemonBuddy itself, and this is a known bug. It comes from DemonBuddy failing to read Diablo 3 memory sometimes and thinking you have less items in your bag than you do (or thinking they take up less slots). We are all eagerly awaiting an update to DemonBuddy that will hopefully fix these problems :D If it doesn't look like they will fix it, then in the future I will work on a loot-pickup-replacer that uses my custom code for item handling, which should be more reliable... but honestly DemonBuddy fixing this themselves would be a lot better - as the memory reading problems have lots of other bad effects through the bot and mess random things up, so this is an important fix I'd like to see made officially. Note that setting an empty protected bag slot or 2 can sometimes help reduce the problem a bit, but it can still mess up even then :( (I've never actually had this problem myself, but I know why/how it happens, and have seen lots of other people encounter it).

It never happend to me either, im always installing fresh copies of DB just because HB had so many problems before that got fixed by just reinstall it. So its a habit of mine. You could try that and see if it helps.
 
v1.5 uploaded:
-- Protected bag slots now work! This plugin will never stash anything that is in a protected bag slot.
-- Logging output for the stashed items logs improved. Now also logs some of the core stats of the items (only stats that scored highly in the item valuer).
 
Thanks for your efforts making this plugin. Earlier I made a post that perhaps should've been posted here. Please read it when you have time: Link.

Generally if your stash is getting full it's a sign that either you have way too much junk, need to unlock all of the extra stash pages and rows, or need to start pricing your AH items a bit more realistically and frequently ;) I don't think I've ever had more than 2 pages of my stash full, and often get it back to less than half a page full after a major selling session!

That said I will definitely work on adding some support for a full stash. I can either make it gracefully shut down the bot, or I can just tell DemonBuddy not to stash anything and to move to the salvage routine - however this will allow the salvager to salvage items that may have been very valuable. To allow salvaging/selling while just storing the good items in your backpack when stash is full would require a re-write of the salvaging and selling code, rather than allow DB to handle those things as it currently does, and a full stash should be rare to anyone except complete horders (remember you can make mule characters for long-term storage in their backpacks!) - so I think shutting down the bot would be the best solution for the rare times somebody lets their bot run so long without selling things that their stash gets full!
 
thanks for everything gile. your plugins are unbelievably good.. like i wouldnt be able to bot without these plugins!! :)))))))
 
Long thread and sorry if it has been asked before but I have a question about this. Lets say you get a pair of gloves with no main stat on it but it has Crit Hit chance, Crit hit damage and say ATT speed. With no main stat is the bot keeping this sort of thing or is it trashing it? Certain things like that are worth good money is why Im asking.
