Advbot.mac - Advanced Caster Bot - Heal/Debuff/Buff

[JimJohnson]

i know how to take it out I asked if you can toggle a pause on it. some things need it like bolt spells but most dont.

[ml2517]

LOL yeah I never thought about the issue if you had 5 bots or whatever. I'll throw in an INI setting for /face on/off.

[ml2517]

Updated:
advbot.mac
advbot.inc
advbot.txt

Added FaceBeforeDebuff INI option. If set to 1 you will automatically face the mob upon casting each debuff.

Added 'face' toggle on/off command.
Example:
/echo face
/tell botname face

Added automatic grouping function. If a person on your master list invites you, you will automatically accept. If someone that isn't on your master list invites you it will decline it.

Added automatic rez accept. Checks for a rez window and acknowledges if one is found.

Updated:
advpath.inc *** I had to split up advpath.inc so there is now a second part that is just #include'd to the first. You don't set up or call from macros any differently than you had.
advpath2.inc (This is the second part.)

For more details to what changed in advpath.inc see the post in the snippets forum. In regards to this macro nothing has really changed.

From Page 7....

Illu1on:
Just find this line of code:
Code:

/echo -[ There ${If[((${VarNpcCount}>1) || (${VarNpcCount}==0)),are ${VarNpcCount} mobs,is 1 mob]} in your search radius. ]-



and delete it or comment it out. I will just remove it if most people don't want to see it. It really was meant to help me debug what was going on with the MinMobs in area thing.

/tell botname | /echo selfbuff [#|all] generates no action

in debuff mode he only sotf's then nothing :/

must be some gaping error I'm making, but sadly I have no clue what.... any ideas? any help muchly appreciated.

[ml2517]

You have to set your xxxxxCount= settings.

SelfBuffCount=0
DebuffCount=0

etc. You set this to the number of slots you filled in for each section. For SelfBuffs you have two spells defined so you'd set it to 2.

Then to buff yourself with self buffs you'd:

/echo selfbuff all (For all self buffs)
/echo selfbuff 1 (For just the buff in slot 1)

Get it now?

[young_mquser01]

Thank you very much. Working like a charm now. :)

[jumpyfrog]

Ok, this is going to sound like a stupid question but what does this line, and the others exactly like it do?

SelfBuffCheckTime=15s

Logic makes me think it checks the status of self buffs every 15 seconds, and the one for debuff would check for mobs to be debuffed every X seconds...right?

I was playing around with the numbers and on a large number, like I set the group buff one to 30 seconds, it seemed to do just that. However, I sometimes notice a very significnt slowness in the debuff even with it set at 1-3s depending. Like I would pull it, and fight the thing for over 10 seconds before the mob was noticed and then debuffed. Other than that its working correctly, just seems slow to respond.

Is that my machine/priority configuration or something similiar or do I need to manipulate more numbers in the ini? And the pause upon action or whatever IS set to zero, meaning no pause before the actions, its not that. Once it notices the mob it starts its debuffing instantly, it just takes a few to notice it on occassion

Also like to add that while the Canni system does work properly, and this again could be MY mistake, but in your example INI it said setting the duration to 1 will continue canning as long as the conditions are true. However what happens is he will cast cann IV, sit...it pauses a few seconds, then casts it again I would like him to just stand there and chain cast it, or at least sit, and immediatly stand and cast again, where is the pause coming from?

[ml2517]

Your cpu can only do so much work in a given time. If you have all functions turned on heal, debuff, selfbuff, groupbuff and events you'll never get all of those checks done in a short period of time regardless of what you set those checks to. You will however help out your processing if you do like you were saying and change buffs to once every 30 seconds.

In order of inherent cost/priority it is like this:

heal --> debuff --> events/selfbuffs/groupbuffs

Moral of the story is, if you are a cleric and have 6 heals or whatever and one debuff, you will save a ton of processing if you just forget about that debuff and toggle it off. This would give you very good response time to heals if it isn't fast enough while doing the one debuff.

Also, if you turn on follow mode and leave it on you are stealing alot of processing power from thos functions when standing still. When moving around all functions except heal are paused until you stop.

The check timers only guarantee the minimum amount of time functions will be called. If I have a crap CPU it and I set the heal timer to 1s it is likely it'd never get done with the other work it had to do by the time the one second was up on that timer. However, if I had a kick ass system, I might get back tot he function call in .8 seconds. If I did, it would say "sorry the timer isn't ready for you" and it would catch that function on the next time it was called.

This is the same reason you are having that behavior with Cann. Set the event check timer to 1s, turn off heals if you have them on and you'll notice a world of difference. If you are a spot healer and that isn't an option you can issue the '/tell botname heal' command when your bot needs to cann fast and it would then speed up the cann events. Then after he is good on mana you could turn heals back on.

[ml2517]

I might add a priority number for all functions that would help better control the macro. If it works out I could probably get rid of the check timer, as it would better control the execution than a timer.

[jumpyfrog]

holy shit yea.....
I understand the concept of a CPU only being able to handle so much at once, but I guess I completely underestimated the amount of processing a simple macro uses. I just think of the hundred of simple little stupid programs I've written for class and how they zip right through, I assumed a macro would be *nearly* as fast.
Anyway I changed it to pause self and group buff at startup, which makes group buffing a bit more bleh because I turn it on to buff and off again after to keep the more crucial functions operating at a faster speed, but still quite nice.
It works beautifully though, so excellent job.
One thing I noticed though, even with the change to increase speed. On a constant stream of Canni IV's he still sits between each one, which im guessing has to do with the order of operations, so to speak that you coded the cycle of what to do. and right along side of that it turns attack on real quick, then off again. i checked my settings and I dont have auto attack with assist on either, so thats not it.

[ml2517]

I have some improvements to casting in general and added priority to events. I will post it here in a bit after I test it a bit more.

[ml2517]

Updated:
advbot.mac

I've improved spell casting to wait for spell gem refresh a bit better.

Added some more delay time when targeting, it seems that sometimes I wasn't giving it enough time to gather new HP info etc. before checking the data.

Gave higher priority to event functions.

For your Cann issue I would suggest that you try setting the event check timer to 1s.

Everyone please let me know if this helped hurt anything and I'll try to get it fixed.

Priority is more like this now:
heal --> debuff --> events --> selfbuffs/groupbuffs
