attempt to call global 'setwindow' (a nil value)

Anytime you see a message like that just do a forum search for what is inside the ' ' as it will 99% of the time be a userfunction you don't have.

oh thank you!
i went to the other post and downloaded it, where do i save it?
i saved it in the rom file,
then i wnet to run it again but i got the same error, i found the file manually and it says:

opening userfunction_setwindow.lua . . .
srating script execution - Press CTRL+C to exit.
press CTRL+L to cancel execution and load a new script.

and then im back to square one again :/

please enter the script name to run.
type 'exit' to exit

so where should i save it? and if it doesnt matter and i just find it manually, what do i do after?
sorry for not understanding the basics, cause i assume it is a simple thing

Ok something I have noticed since I have been back farming KS is the game itself crashes alot when using thunderstorm, which it never used to do, might be an issue with the game or maybe something in the bot has changed. End result is now I don't use thunderstorm anymore, aslong as the mage can kill each frog in 1-2 hits it will be fine, a little slower but it will still do what needs to be done.
So my mage was doing 2.2 M/H purely doing frogs and using thunderstorm, I changed it to not use thunderstorm and using a WP similar to ksmagma it is now doing 3.2M/H. I had to give it some stats so it could handle killing the other mobs.

Run down goes like this.
doing just frogs
HP - 7000

doing more than frogs
HP - 15000

So doubled it's HP but the end result in G/H was well worth it.

[noobbotter]

So, If you're not using TS now, would it be faster and get more G/H if you used a rogue instead?

[lisa]

rogues do ok but have to deal with poison, they have to run into 4 frogs and kill them 1 at a time, realistically, which makes them take a lot of poison damage. If you went R/Healer then that wouldn't matter.

I do have 1 R/S running KS atm and it has no issue but it also has enough HP that the poison is barely a scratch.

I generally like to use lower lvl chars, 60ish, and with basically the lvl 60 bags as gear, so if they do get banned it only takes me a couple hours to replace them. So the M/Healer was good because it could use TS and only needed 7000HP which u get from the bag gear. Doing more than frogs with TS though means it needed more HP, so I needed to spend some dias on them but I think the higher G/H has been worth it. even just 1M/H more across 3 chars is 60M a day, which is roughly 400 dias. So spending 120 dias to stat some gear has been well and truely made back in even just 1 day.

I should mention I have many more than 3 chars that I use for KS, a few priests, a couple rogues, a few scouts and several mages. I believe that makes it less chance to get banned, if you see the same char farming KS for 60+ hours straight it is kind of obvious lol

I will add 1 more thing about rogues though that I did notice, Obviously R/S is a 3 weapon combination and having 3 x Loot X runes + house maid pot gets you over 400% MF, at this stage honor party does nothing for you, even using a lvl 90. Usually a lvl 90 with no honor party will have a very low G/H but with that 400% MF you don't even notice a drop in G/H when honor party runs out.

I have a question then, i tried the frog file just the begging but it doesent have automated a inv friend so the frogs dont repawn, am i doing something wrong or am i missing a way to respawn them?

[BlubBlab]

The script use the add-on invite last group I think.

...to use lower lvl chars, 60ish, and with basically the lvl 60 bags as gear, so if they do get banned it only takes me a couple hours to replace them.

How can you level so fast?

I play on a private server, 10 times XP & TP compared to a normal server.

The server did have a name change though, when I started that topic it was called rom4u and now it is called rompvp

Thank you very much! <3

Can't you just move the disk to the first spot in the mount bag?

but when i go to sale it only sales the 1st 2 bags

leave the wp as it was when you downloaded it and you need to change your profile.

Code: Select all

		<option name="INV_AUTOSELL_FROMSLOT" value="8" /> 			<!-- 1 = bag 1 slot 1 -->
		<option name="INV_AUTOSELL_TOSLOT"	value="180" /> 			<!-- 30 = last slot bag 1 -->
		<option name="INV_AUTOSELL_QUALITY"	value="white,green,blue" /> 	<!-- white,green,blue,purple  -->

Obviously use the values that suit that character.

Thank you sooooo much lisa! Thank you Very Very much!

Well I can confirm pretty confidently Magic Find gets to a point where more MF no longer equals more G/H.

lvl 90 Rogue with 3 loot X all OD (honor party + house maid luck pot) running the same WP as a lvl 90 mage with 1 Loot X and same buffs. They both get to similar spots in the WP before bags are full, that isn't comparing G/H as killing speed would affect this but if you go by the spot in instance where bags are full you can do a good comparison.

So with honor party and luck pot 1 Loot X or 3 Loot X makes no difference.

How ever, 1 Loot X and no house maid pot and bags are full much later.
Same goes for with house maid pot and no honor party.

3 Loot X and no honor party or house maid pot and it gets to pretty much same place in instance when bags are full.


So as a conclusion if you don't want to bother with house maid pots or getting honor scrolls then use a character that can have 3 Loot X runes. R/S does ok if well geared but a S/R seems to kill much faster and therefore has a much higher G/H.


My R/S with 3 Loot X and no buffs gets around 3.3Mil gold per hour (same if it has buffs).
Priest/Mage with honor party, housemaid pot and 1 Loot X also does 3.3M, 1 shots everything though, well geared.
S/Wd well geared with 2 Loot X, housemaid pot, honor party does 4.5Mil gold/hour.

The WP are adjusted for each character specifically to squeeze as much G/H as I can out of them.

To get more I think you would need to use zodiac pets which I haven't bothered with.

[rock5]

Wouldn't AOE skills allow you to kill faster? That's why I used to use M/S, so I could have a mage with 2 Loot runes.

Thunderstorm has been crashing game, not at regular intervals but it does definately crash game.
I had various times, 40 mins, 130 mins, 350 mins. At that point I just stopped using thunderstorm and kept with same WP, no crash after 16 hours. then I changed WP to improve G/H and haven't use TS since.

Ok something I have noticed since I have been back farming KS is the game itself crashes alot when using thunderstorm, which it never used to do, might be an issue with the game or maybe something in the bot has changed. End result is now I don't use thunderstorm anymore, aslong as the mage can kill each frog in 1-2 hits it will be fine, a little slower but it will still do what needs to be done.

I think that implies that the problem is after the following line in CSkill:use.

Code: Select all

	if self.ClickToCast == true then

Looking at it the mostlikely place the problem could be is in "target:findBestClickPoint" or "player"aimAt" or "player:clickToCast". Or it might just need a small pause between the aimAt and the clickToCast. If my plate wasn't already full I'd probably have a go at debugging it (assuming I could reproduce the crashes). Maybe if I remember, I'll have a go at it in the future.

Hmmm I am a rogue/warr overpowered for ks 1 shot all mobs and 3 shot bosses, I have been using ks magma but it is kinda letting me down lately,
(char keeps on falling off the stairs from broken edges, stucks trying to get to previews waypoint specifically twice on point 22, chased off a frog from the last waypoing lost hp and then after quiting prty sold itemes on his way to ks fell off as usual path but ended up dying, running against walls and leaving prty, and some other annoying things)
I have been reading the forums and u keep on testing stuff as well as making adjustments to WP and stuff.
Could I ask, what script should i use as a R/Wat and I dont use pets to collect drops? (dont care about G/H as long as it works and its stable)

[lisa]

ksmagma is designed for a M/D, the name is because of the elite skill they get magma blade. So not surprised a melee would have issues with it.

For melee you need to reduce the combat distances quite a bit and make sure you don't loot sigils, by not using pets you turn on looting for the bot and it "may" also be trying to loot sigils and inside an instance that is a big no no, it would literally run off a cliff to get to a sigil =(

I have a rogue wp I will post later tonight, I'm at work atm but again it is designed for using pet perfume and you may need to adjust it slightly for looting.
