ks farming strats

[wps]

I'm always playing in window mode.
But I have to say, that I tried it last night and it worked without any problems. I don't know why my char always dies if I play manually at the same time. Each time I'm using my main character while my ks char is running in the background he dies :/

Maybe it's using too many resources, and the client was frozen.
It happened to me sometimes.

Maybe your computer can't handle it. Can you normally run 2 bots at the same time?

[Ego95]

Yes. up to 8 clients at the same time are working fine. But normally I don't use that many

This looks like a similar problem I described a few postings above:

I also have a question how the mouse and the aiming circle are done. I sometimes have a window that runs the bot in the background, while I am manually doing things in another client which is running in the foreground. It seems that mouse movement necessary for manual play have an effect for the window in the background (i.e. for thunderstorm). Can anybody confirm this? Should you avoid playing manually in a foreground window, if the background is using thunderstorm or similar stuff?

I tried to avoid this by using a software running multiple desktops (Desktops by Sysinternals), but this seemed to cause different issues. Some things do work: elfdailies and other stuff that is quite simple. But more complex scripts like farming KS, doing minigames seems to cause problems that cause a client crash after a short time.

No KS scripts for the champion class huh

No KS scripts for the champion class huh

I don't have any champions, had more than enough lvl 55+ mages for a very long time, hasn't been any need for me to lvl any new chars.

Does anyone else having those wierd logouts, my ks bot have been working properly for some time now. Now after the latest maintenance or patch (I think) its getting disconnected once and then. The MM window does not find any crashed clients and it successfully logs the char out and closes the game. I have both updated with both update.lua and svnupdate.lua after every maintenance to ensure I'm running with the newest addresses. Any ideas what causes this?

[Ego95]

You can't do anything about this. Since tuesday there are some problems on the server. About one hour ago everyone on our server disconnected. I looked at the server state and all official servers were offline. Yesterday afternoon the same happened. Only Gameforge is able to repair this.

ok, thank u for the info

[Aron]

How do I turn off that the bot doesnt skip loot because of he got new aggro? Made me losing loot from bosses like Anselve/Aisha and those are the ones that I need..

[rock5]

If you use LOOT_ALL then it should always go back to loot. But probably even safer is to use LOOT_IN_COMBAT.

[Aron]

Only Loot is turned on true, but I will try to turn on Loot_In_Combat to true now aswell, ty for the quick answer

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but since latest chapter my character has not used Lucky Target. When I doubled checked item numbers I found buff has been changed to buff# 506687 and Lucky Target potion has changed to item# 207203. Once changed in waypoint I had no problem. Did not check on other housemaid items as I do not use but people may need to update as well.

[kenzu38]

Hmm, strange, I botted just after I patched to 6.0.0 and my KS farmers were still using Lucky Target.

But interesting, I'll look at it again a bit later when I bot KS.

[rock5]

It might be because palman uses ids for checking the buff and item but kenzu38 might be using the buff name and item name. I think the latest usegoodie compares names not ids so kenzu38 might also be using usegoodie.

[kenzu38]

Had to check my KS script as it has been a long time since I wrote it. Indeed, I used the useGoodie() function so I didn't notice the change in the Ids.

And yep, the Ids have changed indeed, looking at the useGoodie code, the Ids there are different from what they are now.

[McGuffin]

Don't think these IDs changed with the patch, here is a post from last November with them in it...

[kenzu38]

Ah yes, when I looked at the code earlier, I got them all mixed up, indeed it's the same from before.

Here's part of the useGoodie code:

Code: Select all

		 luck = {ID = 207203, buffName = 506687, castTime = 0}, --Turn of Luck Powder Dust (tested r5)

And I downloaded that in December last year and didn't modify it. So Palmal's case is pretty strange.

[lisa]

I don't have Usegoodie but it could still be using the names but getting the name from the ID's, They tend to keep the old ID's still there and with the same name. So using getIdName() on the old ID would be the same as using it on the new ID.
