Max waypoint size/run time?

[Tamyra]

Hi, I ran a board search and didn't find this anywhere, so is there a preset maximum number of waypoints/lines in a waypoint file, or a maximum time a waypoint can run for before rombot stops checking your arguments? If there is another thread on this feel free to delete this post and point me in that direction. Thanks!

[Administrator]

No, there is no maximum number of waypoints. That is limited by how much memory you have (which is a ridiculously huge number of waypoints).

Yes, you can set it to log out after some amount of time, but this is disabled by default.

[lisa]

Sounds like you have a specific issue you can't seem to work out.
Can you give more info?
Otherwise yeah Waypoint files can be very large and run for weeks/months on end.

[Tamyra]

First off, I have a couple problems with this waypoint, because I have been pathing each section separately, not as a big whole, and the numbering is frequently maxing out at 70ish so unless I manually went in and changed the waypoint numbering to try and figure out which waypoint glitched, I have no way to look for a specific number. That being said this is a work in progress towards an eventual lvl1-50 waypoint thus I am not going to be posting all of it here, the attached image shows where I was targeting an NPC and that much I can find in the waypoint, so I feel safe enough posting that segment as the error I have does not appear to have anything to do with that segment of the waypoint. I just need to know what's going on here. Edit: all other waypoints before this seem to be working just fine, and it stops at this point. The game by the way has not crashed and is in fact still running, and this is a replicable error, same error I had last night when I originally posted on this thread.

First of all, to tell what waypoint you are at, look at the coordinates and search for them in your waypoint file. It's unlikely any set of coordinates will be repeated in the waypoint file (unless you cut and paste a waypoint).

Secondly, the fact that it errors immediately after targeting Lebniz Rol, leads me to a problem with CompleteQuestByName(). But that is a fairly mature and stable function. Is it possible you still have an old "questByName" userfunction still installed that is conflicting with the inbuilt bot version?

Otherwise, there is no "indexing" happening in your code at that location and it doesn't say what it's trying to index so it's near impossible for us to find the problem.

[Tamyra]

To be honest, I'm a big "copy-paste" junkie, so that's the function I have been using the whole waypoint as it is the one most likely to get the quest completed. I even pulled the segment I just posted out and created it's own test mini-waypoint with the same results, so I broke it down further and tried both:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints>
<!-- #  1 --><waypoint x="-7469" z="-3735" y="153">		
		player:target_NPC("Lebniz Rol"); yrest(1000):
		CompleteQuestByName("Retrieve"); yrest(1000);
		</waypoint>
	<!-- #  1 --><waypoint x="-7497" z="-3775" y="148">	</waypoint>
</waypoints>

and

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints>
<!-- #  1 --><waypoint x="-7469" z="-3735" y="153">		
		player:target_NPC("Lebniz Rol"); yrest(1000):
		sendMacro("ChoiceOption(1);"); yrest(1000);
		</waypoint>
	<!-- #  1 --><waypoint x="-7497" z="-3775" y="148">	</waypoint>
</waypoints>

with the exact same results.

Edit:

Is it possible you still have an old "questByName" userfunction still installed that is conflicting with the inbuilt bot version?

Where would I check for that?

[rock5]

Userfunctions are found in the 'userfunctions' folder. If you don't know what they are, it probably means you've never installed one.

If "sendMacro("ChoiceOption(1);")" causes the same error then that leads us to the concluscion that the problem is not with "CompleteQuestByName". Maybe the error is with the player:target_NPC command. But that's even less likely.

Are you sure your rom installation is ok? No red or yellow icons in the folder?

[Tamyra]

Yup, brand new install as of 2 days ago, only have blue (?) for my waypoints and profiles. Oh and for micromacro.exe as it never came with the new install, so I had to get a copy from my backup, but I used SVN to get rom, so I'm not sure what's going on. As for the igf, you're talking about the folder that goes into the program files of the RoM client under addons, correct? I have that.

Edit: Oh and there's 2 other files with blue (?):

OpenAL32.dll
Log.txt

I checked the Log and got this error readout:

----------TRACEBACK END----------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm EST so it is 11:41 AM here, this one's recent.

[rock5]

The last thing I can think of is when you get the error send me a copy of the "log.txt" file in the root directory of micromacro. It might shed some light on where it is at when it gets the error. I'm not sure if any personal information is usually saved there or not so maybe you should PM it to me.

[Tamyra]

I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but the bot was behaving strange, usually when it aggroes something in other parts of the waypoint, it'll pause and kill it, but while I was doing the testing on this section of the waypoint, it just ran through, grabbed a whole group of them as it passed by, and only killed them when it reached the destination. Then on the return path it did the same, only the tether distance was too far away and it left combat before reaching Lebinz Rol. I'd also like to mention that I have not used the

Code: Select all

__WPL:setForcedWaypointType("")

command anywhere in the waypoint. It starts and stays at

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><waypoints type="TRAVEL">

the whole way.

[rock5]

Other people have reported problems running the bot from the desktop. Try returning it to it's original location and just putting a shortcut to the folder on your desktop.

[Tamyra]

Moved back to original location and error still exists. I'm stumped.

[rock5]

Me too. Maybe it's something in your profile. Have you tried using the default profile?

[rock5]

Showing me the profile doesn't really help because we are dealing with something unexpected. On the surface I don't see anything wrong but if you try the default profile and you don't get the error then we will know it's the profile and we can break it down until we find what causes the error.

You can use the default profile by starting the bot like this

Code: Select all

rom/bot profile:default

[lisa]

AcceptQuestByName("Pirate's Operations"); yrest(1000);

the ' might cause an issue.

<onLeaveCombat>
-- Additional Lua code to execute after a target is finished

if(player.Level == 10) then
__WPL:setForcedWaypointType("TRAVEL")
end;


</onLeaveCombat>

In the profile you have set the waypoint type to TRAVEL anytime character is lvl 10, this might cause issues.

<skill name="PRIEST_RISING_TIDE" hotkey="VK_3" priority="70" level="" />

you set level to nil, that could cause an issue.

<onLevelup>
-- thats a demo for opening the gift bags from Lvl 1-10

levelupSkills1To10();

-- openGiftbags1To10(player.Level);

</onLevelup>

The default skill up has issues when a scout is lvl 6 as it then gets a passive which isn't part of the bots skill database, this may or may not have been fixed.

[Tamyra]

Okay, so I put this project on the back burner for about a week or so trying to figure out "another way to skin the cat", so now I want to pick it back up. I am going to do the test one more time with the default profile, but if it does not work and shuts down the bot with a "nul" error one more time, I'm going to stop the waypoint just before the turn-in. This way I can start a new one right after the quest is turned in at the point where a new quest is picked up.

What I need is a function that can end the waypoint without the bot moving, play a sound to let me know it has stopped and print dialogue into mm telling me to manually turn the quest in and start what will likely have to be the next waypoint in the series. Is there anything like that already working, if so can you point me in that direction?

[rock5]

Code: Select all

print("\aPlease turn in the quest manually and start the next one") -- \a = Ding!
error("Stopping waypoint here")

[Tamyra]

Code: Select all

Awesome!! Thanks!!
