Suggestion/REQ A new botbase

[Hagel]

I'd pay money to have a botbase like Templar, only instead you would literally just draw a circle on your map, wherever you are and want, and that would generate pathing where it would just run around in the circled area and kill everything inside the circle over and over untill you tell it to stop.

Would this be possible?

Templar essentially does this exact thing though

It uses your start location as the center point ( center of the circle) then you add how many yards you want it to travel in search of mobs from that center ( like a radius )

May not be an exact circle...but pretty much the same kind of thing..

I haven't tried Templar when the starting point has worked yet. But that doesn't change the fact that i have already encountered many areas where i really want 1000+ yards in one direction, and maybe just 100 in the other, and maybe there are enclaves that i don't want my character going into, that could then be circled out/drawn around/left out with the map thing.

It would be exactly how i would want my toon to farm, in the simplest possible way in the universe. I can't think of anything more perfect than the map thing tbh

Can you add blackspots with Templar...? sorry have not used it in a while

No but you can blacklist and whitelist mobs, so i guess once the return to center thing gets updated and working you could set up areas. But the blacklisting/whitelisting process is pretty awkward cause you have to target the mobs to blacklist them while the bot is running, and you don't really know how many of the same type there is going to be before exploring the area etc, like spellcasters or melee, with different names and so on.
It would be way more convenient and simple for noobs like me if you could just walk into a zone and draw a big path around the entire zone, where you want your toon to patrol so you meet many different mob types and therefore dont get your xp diminished etc. Instead of just having a circular radius adjuster

Like the screen attached as an example

or you could just use zaprecorder. [wait for it to be updated]
hit record
walk your path
save on your desktop
open the file, copy paste the hotspots into a blank QO file
click the developers tab, click the mob, write down the faction ID
enter that faction id into the blank QO file.
save that blank QO file on your desktop
run that newly saved QO file with Questing Bot.
win

edit-once you have this basic QO file, you can add such things as 'flyto' commands so you can start it anywhere on the continent and it will auto fly there.

That is an awful large amount of bs to go through for a newbie, and im guessing 99% of HB users are total script newbies like myself, especially while leveling and moving through each zone quickly.
And im pretty sure there is bound to be someone around who can turn all that into a bot, save everyone lots of headaches, and make $$ in the process?

So what i was thinking was that someone made a program where the maps of the game were copied into, and then when you drag your "pencil" across the map it writes down those coordinates into a script, as borders where the toon cant move beyond, and then there would need to be some intelligence written into it so that it doesnt just bounce around the borders in the same end of your path you have drawn, but instead moves from one end to the other, or walks all the way around if you have drawn a big circle through a map etc

 

[frosticus]

if you are expecting the other 1% to do all the hard work for you, you are in the wrong place.

but you are right, 99% of new HB users are 'script newbies'. some work hard, learn to write profiles. some go on to do bigger things like CR's and plugins. And the rest just leech of the community, giving nothing back, until they give up and quit botting cause 'its too hard'

Ofcourse i am expecting other people to do the work, that's literally the only reason i and everyone else use HB, 'cause it's a paid bot.
And now with the HB Store there is more incentive than ever to do the hard work for all the newbies, and here was just another suggestion that would be extremely newbie friendly, and as such probably sell extremely well.

I don't understand why you're talking as if you have a massive dildo up your anus?

Find a profile that works and is close to what you need and edit it to be what you need. The more you do the more you learn how to do and before long you'll be writing your own stuff to share.

If i or anybody else could be arsed/had the time/etc. to do this stuff, don't you think we already would instead of paying for it?
The crux of it is, there will always be people like me out there (the majority) who would rather just pay some random guy chump change, and then be on my way, instead of this profile garbage, that has to be babysat and checked and double checked. Even the best profiles from the best creators all have bugs in them and can't be left over night when it comes to leveling etc. I have tried them, and i'm sick of it.

I just want something perfectly straight forward like Templar, which is brilliant, just different implementation, and i will pay for it and i'm pretty near 100% certain that so will many others since most are in my boat from reading the forums over the years. Just let me mark an area and hit the start button and go afk is where the big money is at

[Stormchasing]

u spent more time here to answer than it would need to do the profile on your own, and seconds thing .. .i could do it for you, but u won't pay the needed money (1 hours is something around 45 Euro!)

You're really making yourself out to be a complate toolbag. Congrats. I hope every developer here on HB refuses to deal with shitty individuals like yourself.

a nice option for templar would to not enter buildings/locations where bot cant mount up.

45 euros an hour is not serious. Are you a PHD? But if it was made, and sold for 20euro or something like that, and a couple hundred people bought it that would be $$

Tell me why. Did i not surgercoat it enough for you?

nothing left to say.

I better not find out you ever take your car to the mechanics and pay for it. Cause hey if you just put in a little bit of time and effort you can fix it by yourself. Comprende?
