Watchtarget command is busted. I'm looking into the problem.

edit:

Ok this didnt take long. I just dug up some old posts.

on line 162 of bothealer.inc change

Code: Select all

Sub Command-watchtarget
   /if (${Param0}.Equal[off]}) {
      /varset WatchTargetCount 0
      /return
   }
   /squelch /target clear
   /call delay 5
   /call StandardTarget "${CommandParam}"
   /if (${Target.ID}) {
      /varcalc WatchTargetCount ${WatchTargetCount}+1
      /varset WatchTargets[${WatchTargetCount}] ${Target.CleanName}
      /varset WatchTargetIDs[${WatchTargetCount}] ${Target.ID}
      /call ChatOut 3 "Now watching the health of ${Target.CleanName}."
   } else {
      /call ChatOut 3 "Who did you want me to watch?"
   }
/return

Command-Watchtarget updated on page one. Thanks. That's one of the bits that I don't personally use.

Glad to help ^_^

hey, great macro you've got here, there's a few errors that i found while using your script, if you have auto canni on, and you try to camp, it will keep casting it, and not to mention since it does that i would assume it will try to attempt to cast any spells that are on timers, and also there's a few things wrong with the timers them selves, i think you should mabye have the capability to change the buff recast to "Your *Spell* has worn off on *target*" and mabye only recast if they are a master or in the group, mabye some more options there, that way it will recast the buff if it actually wears off, somtimes it dosn't cast the buff again, or some times it just casts way too early.

[ascii38]

When I command my bots to camp they don't stop camping to cast anything (yaulp, canni, etc.). Camping from the keyboard without stopping the macro will probably cause the macro to stand you up when the next event fires, but it's easy enough to /endmacro before hitting ctrl-x if you have to do it that way.

Genbot works well enough the way it is. It's basically in maintenance mode unless someone wants to take over active development. I'm not going to reinvent Autobot/Raiddruid. If you want that level of functionality, then get Autobot (and don't forget to throw a few bucks at A_Druid_00 in order to keep him working on it) or write it yourself. You will run in to the same problems that AD00 outlines in his last message in this thread if you decide to take on the task yourself.

[grimjack]

From a purely technical point of view, AutoBot is probably better. However, for me (and obviously others), Genbot is still good enough that there's no point in going through another learning curve.

Genbot suffers from the fact that it was created before many of the current options where available so it relies on some older techniques to get some things done. It also isn't going to benefit from many of the speed improvements that you could get form putting some of the functions into a plugin. With that said, It's nice to see that genbot is still useful in spite of all that it has going against it. It may not be as advanced but that was the whole point when I created it. It was just designed to be a generic bot that could be quickly customized without much skill needed.

Thanks

I'm having a weird occurance with genbot lately.
It's been working fine for months but after the last few mq2 updates on 2 of my computers when using genbot to control a melee character it crashed mq2

Basically running genbot is no problem.
Buffing, moving etc works fine.
But as soon as i issue the /assist command the character walks upto the mob, hit melee once (sometimes twice) and then completely crashes.

I have not changed the PC's on which it happens since the last time i ran it, the onyl change is a new clean Mq2.
The odd thing is it doesn't seem to happen on 3 of my other pc's on the same characters.

They all use the exact same code.
Any idea what / whre i might start looking for a solve?

[gordon]

if you use a separate copy of mq for each comp rather than using one copy of mq over lan it could be a plugin issue that u dont have loaded on the other computers

[Frank25]

all have the same plugins, i even unloaded all of em to make sure

EDIT: apparantly i hadn't unloaded mq2moveutils. which seems to be the issue.
It ONLY happens attacking a mob, weird, not sure if it's a moveutils ( i have the latest versino) or genbot issue

back to the testing board

[Tagger]

same thing happen to me and I gave up on it..

I switched to (VIP ACCESS REQUIRED)lazy tank instead that is even better for a warrior instead of genbot.

However My cleric, mage, enchanter still use genbot and they all work great work fine.

I used to macro hard about a year ago but it's been so long. I remember genbot was one of my favorute macros. Well im vback to eq to have a little fun and am wondering does macroquest still work? does genbot still work?

No... all the recent posts in the forum are just us messing around reliving the old days. Macroquest2 doesnt work at all.

As far as GenBot, I have no idea - I'm sure it could with little if any tweaking.

[Canadian_Cowgirl]

Ascii38 was maintaining it for the longest time, but he finally gave up and dropped it. As far as I know it's a dead macro.

AS OF THIS CURRENT PATCH 12-05-06
genbot has some TLO problems now

[JimJohnson]

as of like 1798 Genbot was out of date.
