Ok so I am writing up a userfunction that will basically be for buffing up fully before a boss fight.

So I am after a little help from people to save me going out and buying up every item in the game so I can get the correct ID and Buff ID to go with it.

If you have the info for items like momento buff items that would be helpful, I have all the housemaid ones, so don't need them.

Table looks like this atm.

Code: Select all

	local buffitems = {
	--=== Housemaid Potions ===--
	{itemId = 207200, buffId = 506684, types = "both"}, 		-- Unbridled Enthusiasm , faster run/walk
	{itemId = 207202, buffId = 506686, types = "magic"},		-- Clear Thought, faster spell casting
	{itemId = 207203, buffId = 506687, types = "both"},			-- Turn of Luck Powder Dust
	{itemId = 207206, buffId = 506690, types = "both", cooldown = 0},			-- Scarlet Love, increases physical defence

	}

As you can see my only concern is itemID, buffId and if it for phys/magic or both types.

I will probably blow some dust off some old chars that have a few hundred mems to get any missing items but it would be easier if people could post the ones they use.

[lisa]

Are Mage,priest and druid still the only "magic" users?

[abron1]

hero potion level 40
honey cake level 75 pdef food
Smoked Ribs level 75 damage food
Smoked Fish level 75 pattack food
Huge Sandwich level 75 magic damage food
all crafted food

[lisa]

ahh yes, crafted food.

I am guessing you don't have the Id's for them, I might need to hit the AH lol

None of those on AH

[lisa]

ok database is looking good, still need the lvl 75 food and hero pot.

Now to work on the usage, some items share cooldowns and some items will override another buff.

--=== option 1 ===--
Add all of the shared cooldown/buffs into a table of the buffId so as not to overlap any buffs.

Code: Select all

{itemId = 207645, buffId = {507064,507046,507045,507054}, types = "magic"},		-- Meat Sandwich

Of course this means that table could get bigger and bigger and bigger and be a pain to "understand" also a pain to add in others without duplicating.

--== option 2 ==--
Making another tag and just grouping items together and using a variable to say that one of those groups has been used and not to use another.

Code: Select all

{itemId = 207645, buffId = 507064, types = "magic", group = "craftfood1"},		-- Meat Sandwich

So when I use the item I set a variable called craftfood1 as true. So when checking other foods if they are in a group that has the group as true then not to try and use that item.


--=== option 3 ===--
Make up a table of all buffage items that you have and then make decisions based on that information. This would be slightly slower but it would allow us to use the longer lasting buffs first.
You don't want to use a buff that lasts 20 seconds and then use all the longer buffs afterwards as by the time you start the fight the 20 second buff might have worn off.


I am personally leaning towards option 3 as the best way to go.

[lisa]

I am going with option 3, have most of the code done now.

So now the time consuming part, working out which items share cooldowns and which items will over ride another buff.

example
housekeeper Clear Thought shares the same cooldown as the crafted item Ancient Spirit Water, this is because they both increase casting speed.

I went looking to see if the buff info for an item is held nearby in memory, in my travels I did come across something.

There is a section of memory that has all the buff Id's all lined up and has a pointer.
example

Code: Select all

506686 (decimal) f864d44 (hex)

Ok so buff Id 506686 is clear thought. the address points to a spot in memory that has a value counting up, while you have the buff the counter keeps going up, when you cancel buff the timer stops.
it never seems to reset and just keep going up.

Interesting but kind of useless at this stage lol

Id range in memory. Each ID has 0x20 designated to it.
id range is 507252 - 505205

[rock5]

Maybe you could find an offset that indicates which group it belongs to and save you the trouble of testing every one.

[lisa]

I suspect the items with shared cooldown would have something in the item info but the ones that over write other buffs, the info would be in the buff section of memory.

Besides in order to determine which address might be for grouping I would already need to know which ones are grouped in order to compare memory

[rock5]

That looks like the id table so the address you went to would be the same as GetItemAddress(id) and that counter might just be an offset of the ids address.

I got a possible value. Try 0xC0 off the buffs address.

Code: Select all

print(memoryReadInt(getProc(),GetItemAddress(buffid)+0xC0))

I just got that from a few hp and mp pots. It would need testing with other items. So far hp, mp and Creamy Seafood Pie have different values. And all 3 can be on at the same time.

[rock5]

A possible cooldown offset is 0x1c off of the item id

Code: Select all

print(memoryReadInt(getProc(),GetItemAddress(itemid)+0x1C))

[lisa]

using the item ID got me nowhere but using the buffId seems to be doing something.

Code: Select all

Command> print(memoryReadInt(getProc(),GetItemAddress(506686)+0xC0))
9
Command> print(memoryReadInt(getProc(),GetItemAddress(500112)+0xC0))
9
Command> print(memoryReadInt(getProc(),GetItemAddress(500311)+0xC0))
19
Command> print(memoryReadInt(getProc(),GetItemAddress(506673)+0xC0))
65
Command> print(memoryReadInt(getProc(),GetItemAddress(506674)+0xC0))
65
Command> print(memoryReadInt(getProc(),GetItemAddress(506675)+0xC0))
165

[rock5]

Yeah, just noticed the cooldown id was wrong. Phirus pots and regular pots shared the same number but don't share cooldown. I didn't get any other results for that. I haven't checked the buff area for the cooldown yet.

Efit: On second thought the coldown can't be off the buff because not all items have buffs but they could have cooldowns.

[lisa]

got this
memoryReadInt(getProc(),GetItemAddress(v.buffId)+0xC0) then name of buff

I suspect you have something for the buffs atleast,
I know for a fact Lute and guitar share cooldown.

those over write each others buffs.

[rock5]

Looks good. I've done a more extensive test for cooldowns. Used 5 items with 3 cooldowns. Checked up to 0x1000. These are the offsets that were different

Code: Select all

34      B9      F       3E8
58      1C      1       42
7C      0       2       FFFFFFFF
94      2       4       0
728     114E    B00     200
734     0       F       2
740     8       0       5
748     4B18967F        461C4000        0

A50     0       42C80000        3F800000

Left column is the item id offset. Second column is Food. Third column are are regular hp and mp pots. And forth column Phirus pots. Got to go to dinner now so can't test fursther

[lisa]

Do you mean item cooldowns?

there s already an item.CoolDownTime. I am just using that and also designating the item.LastTimeUsed when the item is used. Only issue is if the item is already on cooldown the first time it goes to run the function, which shouldn't happen often.

Theory I have atm, which changes every few minutes, is to create seperate tables for each of the values for "groups" using that offset you found. Then going through each of those tables 1 at a time to decide what item to use out of that specific table, which then adds that to another table. That final table will be just the items that have been decided to use and so I will use the duration at that point to decide which order to actually use the skills in.

So quite a bit of table manipulation but it "should" make it the optimal usage of items before attacking a boss.

What I have at the moment easily uses what items I have in inventory and the code itself (without actually using the items) takes 20 milliseconds. Obviously with global cooldown the time taken to fully buff up will vary depending on how many items it uses.

[rock5]

Ok, I was thinking about how items share cooldown. I don't think the item.CooldownTime takes that into account.

I noticed that item.CooldownTime is gotten from self.BaseItemAddress + addresses.realItemIdOffset which goes to an area in memory like a skill. Sort of like the skill associated with the item. 0xE0 is also the cooldowntime for skills. So we could probably get the real cooldown of items like we do with skills. Lets see

Code: Select all

			local skillItemId = memoryReadInt( getProc(), item.BaseItemAddress + addresses.realItemIdOffset );
			if ( skillItemId ~= nil and skillItemId ~= 0 ) then
				local skillItemAddress = GetItemAddress( skillItemId );
				if ( skillItemAddress ~= nil and skillItemAddress ~= 0 ) then
					local offset = memoryReadRepeat("int", getProc(), skillItemAddress + addresses.skillRemainingCooldown_offset) or 0
					if offset and offset ~= 0 then
						return (memoryReadRepeat("int", getProc(), addresses.staticCooldownsBase + (offset+1)*4) or 0)/10
					end
				end
			end

If it works, it might be worth adding to the bot. Have a getRemainingCooldown() for items as well as skills.

[lisa]

didn't seem to work for me.

Code: Select all

function tester(item)
	local skillItemId = memoryReadInt( getProc(), item.BaseItemAddress + addresses.realItemIdOffset );
	if ( skillItemId ~= nil and skillItemId ~= 0 ) then
		local skillItemAddress = GetItemAddress( skillItemId );
		if ( skillItemAddress ~= nil and skillItemAddress ~= 0 ) then
			local offset = memoryReadRepeat("int", getProc(), skillItemAddress + addresses.skillRemainingCooldown_offset) or 0
			if offset and offset ~= 0 then
				print("supposed to work")
				local lol = memoryReadRepeat("int", getProc(), addresses.staticCooldownsBase + (offset+1)*4) or 0
				print("offset: "..offset.." value: "..lol)
				return lol/10
			end
		end
	end
end

Code: Select all

Command> local item = inventory.BagSlot[65] print(tester(item))
supposed to work
offset: 27 value: 0
0

I did other prints to confirm it was the correct item, item still had 70-80 seconds on cooldown.

[lisa]

items that don't have a cooldown printed nothing, so no valuew returned.

I did another item which shared cooldown with above item and prints were the same.

mp pot had

Code: Select all

supposed to work
offset: 3 value: 0
0

[lisa]

well if nothing else I can confirm that items have their cooldowns in that same section of memory.

addresses.staticCooldownsBase

So I have worked out for the item I am testing the offset of that is + 0x87C

I do the /4 and get 0x21F, if I do the -1 I get 0x21E, CE search for hex 21E didn't get any results even remotely close to the items address or baseitemaddress.

Still working on it.

[rock5]

I just did the same thing. My theory is that only a few skills share cooldown so skills offset points directly to the cooldown address. But because so many items share the same cooldown then maybe the offset is a 'group' and somewhere there is a list of these groups and which cooldown they use. So maybe if we can get a couple of consecutive numbers and the actual cooldown offsets we can search for the 2 sequencial offsets in memory. Might work. Normal pots return an offset 3. The actual coldown is at staticCooldownsBase + 0x81C. /4-1 = 206. What values are you getting with other items?

A problem is that Phirius pots returned 0 which would indicate it has no cooldown but it does. I guess it could be the first cooldown group but it seems unlikely.
