Concealment is meant to be used with a tank companion. It attempts to get behind the target for best damage. The old routine didnt use any concealment abilities, it was like a sawbones dps rotation

you sure about that? I was using the old concealment rotation before it was put in Joes 2.0 so I know that's not right

It definitely didn't try to get behind the mob though (the old rotation), because I always use healer companion. The death bug being what it is, I like the consistency of the survival, even if it grinds slightly slower.

If you're content with it, that's fine. I have a backup of the concealment rotation I provided on my computer, it's not a terrible hassle to replace. I was just curious as to why it got changed.

Did you guys change something in the way looting slicing and chests were handled? The bot has been doing something weird ever since I updated, and it'll get stuck looting corpses, or searching for lootables...

The weird part is while it's stuck, and crashed like this, it'll spin in a semi- circle on a 90 degree angle (kind of hard to explain, but it looks really unnatural). Not only that, but I have to completely restart the bot to fix it....

As of right now, for me, this routine isn't terribly usable... I either disable picking up slicing nodes or I get these crashes. It can cause the game to crash sometimes too...

On a final note... I can share my logs if you want, but I looked at them and it wasn't terribly helpful.... it doesn't say anything at all, or indicate anything it out of the ordinary.

on second thought I'll probably still using this routine... It is way faster between actions and mounting is nice. I guess I'll just have to disable lootables.

Post it. what was in there when i got a hold of this was basic agent moves only. Really poor.

Oh, weird

The one I have is way simpler, and doesn't try anything fancy like running to get behind etc. Uhh, here's what I use:

Code:

public static void ConcealmentCombat()
        {
            WaitForCast();
            datLCL = DateTime.Now;

            Thread.Sleep(100);

            LoadVars();

            if (!TargetInCombat()) return;

            MercBuffSelf("Coordination", true);
            MoveTo(CT, 2.8f);

            if (!IG && BuddyTor.Me.IsMoving) StopMoving();
            if (CT == null && Me.CurrentTarget != null) CT = Me.CurrentTarget;

            if (CT == null) { Logging.Write("No target. Exiting."); return; }
            if (CT == Comp) { BuddyTor.Me.ClearTarget(); return; }

            if (!CT.InCombat && CT.HealthPercent > .2f)
            {
                MercCast("Stealth");
                while (CT.Distance > .15f) MoveTo(CT, .15f);
                MercCast("Acid Blade");
                MercCast("Hidden Strike");
                MercCast("Backstab");
            }

            if (MercCast("Kolto Injection", Me, HP <= 30)) return;
            if (MercCast("Kolto Infusion", Me, HP <= 40)) return;
            if (HP <= 30) UseMedPackInInventory();
            if (MercCast("Stim Boost", Me, HP <= 70)) return;
            if (MercCast("Evasion", Me, HP <= 70)) return;

            if (MedicineCheckCompHealth()) return;

            if (MercCast("Escape", Me.IsStunned)) return;
            if (MercCast("Shield Probe", Me, !MyBuffs.Contains("Shield Probe"))) return;
            if (HP <= 30) UseMedPackInInventory();

            if (MercCast("Corrosive Dart", StrongOrGreater(CT) && !CTDebuffs.Contains("Poisoned (Tech)"))) return;

            if (MercCast("Adrenaline Probe", EP <= 20)) return;


            while (CT.Distance > .50f) MoveTo(CT, .50f);


             MercCast("Shiv");
             MercCast("Laceration", MyBuffs.Contains("Tactical Advantage"));
             MercCast("Eviscerate");


            if (MercCast("Fragmentation Grenade", !StrongOrGreater(CT))) return;

            if (MercCast("Distraction", (IG && HP <= 50) || (StrongOrGreater(CT) && TC))) return;
            if (MercCast("Flash Bang", TD <= .50f)) return;


            if (MercCast("Debilitate", StrongOrGreater(CT))) return;
            if (MercCast("Headshot")) return;


            if (MercCast("Rifle Shot")) return;

        }

The node scanning for slicing and chests has had issues in since update before last from what I can tell. I keep it disabled. I may look into it and test it tomorrow. Generally anything in Joes that JNP or Walter hasn't addressed or touched should be considered unusable.

Jests · Jun 17, 2013

You guys didn't touch it? It works fine on my other computers that are still using Joes 2.0.

We changed how targeting works and harvesting so that it will not lag up on dead bodies that you can't harvest. It is not using the default buddywing like joes 2.0 was. Lots of other issues were fixed from the base of joes. Since we didn't use much of joes 2.0 since lots of it was too wrong and had to rework how things were set up.

Not the actual code no. We may have changed how its called. I updated the SVN with a file tagged for you MercHelpersJESTTEST or something. Let me know if that fixes your issues.

Jests · Jun 17, 2013

Will do! I won't be able to give it a shot until later tomorrow, though. Thanks JNP

jnp · Jun 17, 2013

I did some extensive testing today and merged the changes into the merchelper in test build. So no need to grab special file. Let me know how it works for you.

1 thing I have noticed is from time to time my guy will stop and loot and it will not automatically loot. It just keeps the loot screen up. Now BW just tells it to loot. SWTOR tells it to automatically loot. So the issue is in SWTOR - not sure of a work around yet. Also, not sure I want to report it to SWTOR as a bug even if it clearly is

Jests · Jun 17, 2013

I've noticed that happens from time to time when I'm actually playing. I think it happens if you double right click the body (but I can't test to confirm) when you're looting. Is the bot sending the loot command twice, maybe?

jnp · Jun 17, 2013

SWTOR forums didn't reveal much. Further research on wow forums for similar crap revealed:

I suspect this is 'broken as intended.' It cripples auto-farming bots, and has been in place for years. It's a minor annoyance that requires you to occasionally manually click on loot if you have auto-loot turned on and it's probably not going to be fixed.

Not a big deal. I'm willing to put up with it if it means wow doesn't get overrun with bots like most other MMOs.

Jests · Jun 17, 2013

Interesting... Makes sense.

jnp · Jun 17, 2013

Probably why Joe started working on Blacklisting. I"ll see if I can get it operational.

Jests · Jun 18, 2013

Sorry, something came up yesterday and I wasn't able to test. I'll try to tonight.

Unacceptable that you have a life!

Jests · Jun 18, 2013

Aww man

Again?

Jests · Jun 18, 2013

Currently testing the new version.

Don't know if you updated the routines or not, but the problems I noted with gunnery still exist. The biggest problem is that it still interrupts it's full auto cast, which is a HUGE drop in DPS.

As far as lootables and gathering goes:

Now the bot is completely ignoring lootables, even though the function is supposed to be turned on.

jnp · Jun 18, 2013

So I know what to look for:

1) not sure about auto cast but i'll take a look at it. don't have a commando to test with though.
2) It is not attempting to loot mobs?
3) You are using the newest test build? rev 112?

Jests · Jun 18, 2013

Sorry, by lootables I meant what we were addressing before (chests and slicing nodes)

I'm using the most up to date test build.
