Program feedback

[prodrip]

Overall i love this program but i do have one issue.
Grinding top level tanks is hard when you crash into them over and over trying to get to the spot there in.
At low levels its fine but at the top level(when the grind is the worst) its very obvious its a bot.
For me that is about the only major issue i have seen as players do notice say hey this jerk is crashing into me repeatedly and ends up with multiple reports.
They dont care if i suck or go afk or even shoot them. But if i crash into them 10 times they get pissed.

Option 1 I would like the ability to create my own way points.

Option 2 If you crash for the xth time within x you go into sleep for for 2-3 mins.
As it is the bot "waits" why not wait after X amount of collisions.

Option 3 Once you have crashed into a player for the Xth time the bot should auto disconnect and join another game.


I think option 2 is the easy and probably best way to go but would love to make my own way points.

Again great job love the bot and keep up the good work.

There's just too much crashing for me. I can't go to sleep, wake up and see it still botting ever.

We know, but as it turns out it's because of the game pulling off some weird shit rather than something on our end. It's causing us to call memory stuff which is temporarily "unavailable", and thus causes the client to hang. We're aware of it though, and once we figure out how to deal with it, we will.

Regarding making your own waypoints, it probably won't be any time soon. Maybe in the future when we do an overhaul on the navigation system, but I can't promise when that will be.

Bot only runs for 16 hours. I have run this program for several weeks without issue. I made sure that no other programs are running. I Put my antivirus on silent mode. I turned the power settings to max and made sure no part of the computer sleeps.
I made both programs administrator and i put them in xp compatibility mode. I also start tank leader but make WOT the active window with tank leader running behind it.

Are you running the English client of the game? I'm suspecting it's a problem with non-English WoT clients that's causing crashes.

Glad to hear it's running well for you!

My client is English and yet it is on and off with crashes on the latest build. Now some nights it will go through until morning no problems, other nights one of the programs will crash, either WoT or TL or both.

Hi
I would like to add some ideas for TL as I am a TL user.I have only one account with 11 slots of tanks and the TL only pick russian tank tier 6 KV 1 S,IS 3 tier 8 ,KV3 tier 7 and rarely amx 13 90 tier 7.The rest of tank tier 5 germany and usa tanks which TL never picks and i really want to bot them as well.So anyway you can add setting like bot from lower tier to higher tier or higher to lower or bot one nation tank or just heavy or just meds or just light and spg tanks settings?At least i want TL at least pick up other kinds of tank which i want to bot most.I know some player would consider make 3 or 4 accounts and each account for each nation and purchase premium account and premium tanks on each account but i do not want to waste too much time for doing like that and it will cost me a lot to do it.In addition, WG will unify World of War Plans and World of battleship with world of tanks on one account so stick on 1 account will be better.I will love if TL have settings to choose what tanks i would like to bot or at least help me bot the rest of my tanks in my account.

Another idea is about way points.It is not a good idea when sometime the TL let my tank auto come back the base which can make some players feel strange and think me as a bot rather then a stupid player.I know it will be good if enermy is caping our base but not all the time enermy stay at my base so coming back base when enermy is not at base is not a good waypoint.
Thanks

Thanks for your suggestions! About waypoints - that's been asked quite a bit before. The problem lies in the way we currently map the World of Tanks maps - it's simply not detailed enough to allow our users to make their own profiles. I'll throw the idea in there again and see what we can do, but right now, I can't make any promises for the short term.

About selecting what tank to queue with; that's already in. If you go into your TankLeader folder, you'll find a file called "TankLeaderSettings.xml". Open it up with notepad, and change the "<ShowSettingsButton>False</ShowSettingsButton>" to True instead of False, and restart TankLeader. When you start it again, there'll be a "Settings" button in your TankLeader. When you press that, and you are logged into the game and in your garage, you'll see the current vehicle you have selected. If you then click the "+" to the right of the tank's name, it'll add it to the list of vehicles it's going to queue with. Hit save, and start TankLeader. It'll now queue with the tanks you have chosen!

If you run into any other problems, just leave a reply and we'll help you out.

I bought the 24hr trial and I am enjoying it so far.
I noticed that the reload timer does not take into account my actual reload time with crew skills and equipment.
Or it could just be hesitating to take the shot. I have noticed that it fires the first shot quickly, often misses then it takes and extra 2-3 seconds of aiming on the second shot.
When the tank is in "stuck" mode it appears to ignore targets shooting at it, it looks very bot like.
It also gets stuck on rocks in "moving" mode and never gets unstuck

It would be nice to have an option to prioritize tanks that still have their daily double victory xp left. Then it would switch to the queue list you set up after all your 2x xp is completed
I think the survivability of the bot would go up dramatically if it automatically turned to face its target or the direction of the last shot that hit it.

Even with these issues I will probably buy the full license. Do you have any plans to address these things?

Yeah definitely, we actually removed facing the tank it's currently firing at because it made the navigator throw up over itself, but we do have the intention of replacing the navigator at some point in the future and make the whole thing more dynamic and agile. As far as that's possible, since most tanks are far from agile in this game, unfortunately.

That makes sense, thanks for the response.

If I could make another recommendation, I would have the bot sit still for the first 30s of each game. 30s is a plausible loading time for a slower computer so it wont draw any suspicion. It would eliminate most of the stuck problems because you wouldnt spend the first minute running into tanks and then into walls while getting unstuck. After 30s the spawn should be mostly cleared and easier to navigate.

The bot performs quite well in combat, but it really looks obvious when its moving up to the fight and having to avoid friendly tanks.

Its still a fantastic program and its miles ahead of anything else I have seen

Is there anything that can be changed on dragon ridge? When playing a heavy like the Lowe it makes it out of the spawn maybe 1 out of every 7 games.

 

[Pachi]

when are we going to see a better nav system ?

I too think this is a great idea
