Setup seperate ini files.

/macro advbot mezon
/macro advbot mezoff

That's how I do it. Along with slow, and no slow ini's for when my chanter has a shaman around.

Hello, I just started using this macro tonight so if some of the things I"m about to suggest have been discussed before I'm sorry.

But some of my immediate observations and suggestions:

This is a nice macro like everyone has said

Some great additions would be
A RangeNoSit variable.. not just if they are looking at you but if there is amob within the range period, it's easy on the primary to pull a mob away from the bot.. but harder to make it look at the bot until you have sufficient aggro for them to sit and med hehe.

A way to specify wether an event should be executed if either of the aggro range checks pass (this way your not say cannibalizing while something is walopping on you)

Another set of variables that are only there for you to call upon in situations maybe one for buffs one for debuffs .. they would need a variable for self / group / or target as well. Never automatically cast but we could tell the bot to cast them.

I would love to see some better healing logic. Make it so you can specify say a healthwatch timeframe and use it to decide on heals as well. For example say the timeframe is 15 seconds, you could then have another variable on each heal to say a min max of amount of damage taken in the timeframe .. or 0 to ignore the timeframe. This would give you the ability to better choose a heal spell.. for example if I I take 40% damage in 15 seconds as a monk I dont want a ch cast on me it would be cutting it to close. Or if I only took 20% damage in 15 seconds could just go ahead and toss on a supernal elixir for a more efficient heal vs mana.

Tonight I was actually running the bot on two characters a cleric and shaman while my monk was who I played. Each had their good and bad points. The cleric as you prob guessed was just healing inefficiently in different situations since it couldn't tell how fast I was taking damage. The shaman was just doing stupid stuff like sitting down while a mob is on top of it but looking away right after casting slow, so in turn made the cleric waste even more mana having to use remedy on the shaman more often due to max hits while sitting hehe. (Had it set up so the cleric would use remedy on all non melee and ch on melees)

I would and might still look into making some of these changes on my own.. but i'm not very experienced in the coding for macroquest (C++ syntax isnt it?) I wrote a bot in VB one time that was simliar but it pretty much required you to tell it everything to do hehe didn't have any logic of its own

Anyway just my 2 cents.. or well maybe that was more like 2 dollars but hey!

What I would love to see is a more in depth debuff toggle, ie

/tell bot debuff 2 5 8

and only the debuff slots 2 5 and 8 (or any combination of such) would get processed, the rest ignored. That way I don't have to edit / change the ini for my dot happy shammie when I happen to get a chanter in the group.

ML -

I think there may be an issue with your spell range code concerning negative z axis range. While fighting tonight on a hill side, the shammie would not cast a single spell or item while the mob was below him on the hill, only when the mob was parked on top of him, or above him.

Somewhat unscientific testing for it, but enough that I think I tracked it down to that.

I'm using the zradius option in NearestSpawn. So you'd have to file a bug report for Lax to check it out.

Ml,

Is there an issue with mounts being considered mobs? I ask because I was mounted on my chanter while trying to use the debuff code, and it just kept targetting self over and over again, and never got around to debuffing period. I have the latest source and bot code and just double checked. Would you happen to know of a fix for this? because I prefer to stay mounted that sit/stand

Regards,
Spanky

Do you have the assist flag set on your debuffs or something? Try turning assist off and see what it does. I'm too busy to deal with anything at all for at least a week.

Thanks ML, I'll dig into it some more.

I'm still having this problem with some of the Time named. RZ/TZ/VZ it wouldn't attack, but it did attack Terris, or it might have been Saryn. This was all with the May 17th MQ and advbot code as of this post date. Would the Include command force it to consider the named a viable target (I didn't think of trying this till after)? Or is there a way to do that?

Hey Ml,

any way to get the macro to set an anchor? As in the toon will return to its set anchor after all the summonings and what not.

also for debuffing the minimum mobs in area part of the ini is nifty.. is there a way to have a Max mobs in area command as well? that would help for example to tell a shaman to stop doting and nuking and immediately start slowing... follow me on that one?

Your macros rock brother.

Would be most appreciated if u could add that feature.

Not sure if this is posted somewhere or not, can't keep up on threads or updates still but anyone know how to shut off the auto cancel group/raid invites etc. I disabled the only event I could find seemed to fit this and still does it, driving my friends up the wall when I not leader. Any help appretiated.

fearless · Post by **fearless** » Tue Jun 08, 2004 4:13 pm

When the toon dies, I think it would be a good idea to have it also stop following.

Ran into a situation last night where the bot was rezzed back in before the master and the bot took off like a bandit and died again.
