Newbie: Mage does not attack

[d003232]

hiho,

I just started this evening with 'botting'. I try to set up my mage. After doint the configuration, the waypoint are working. My char get a tarket and even walks behind the target in a distance. But my char doesnt attack?

- I set the '1' as my attack hotkey.
- I defined the skills and the energy type
- I used the update function

Someone there to give me a tip?

I'm using it on Vista 64 with a german RoM installation.

Yours skills look all messed up, try the code below for skills, make sure to actual have those attacks on those keys! Also make sure the range / mana is correct for each skill in the XML.

Code: Select all

<skills>
<skill name="MAGE_LIGHTNING" mana="20" manainc="2.0" range="150" minrange="75" priority="100" cooldown="20" type="damage" target="enemy" hotkey="VK_2 />
<skill name="MAGE_FLAME" mana="20" manainc="2.0" range="225" casttime="3" type="damage" target="enemy" hotkey="VK_3" />
<skill name="MAGE_PLASMA_ARROW" mana="15" manainc="1.5" range="200" casttime="2" type="damage" target="enemy"  hotkey="VK_4/>
</skills>

I'm a little confused. You describe the skill like they are in the skills.xml file. I thought in the the profiles file I need not so much options for all the skills?

But anyway. I give your changes a try and have the same result. My character is running, and if I press the hotkeys manuall he even loots. But he dont start attacking by itselfe.

Code: Select all

<settings>
	<hotkeys>
		<!-- Cannot use modifiers -->
		<hotkey description="MOVE_FORWARD" key="VK_W" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="MOVE_BACKWARD" key="VK_S" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="ROTATE_LEFT" key="VK_Y" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="ROTATE_RIGHT" key="VK_X" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="STRAFF_LEFT" key="VK_A" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="STRAFF_RIGHT" key="VK_D" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="JUMP" key="VK_SPACE" modifier="" />

		<hotkey description="TARGET" key="VK_TAB" modifier="" />
	</hotkeys>

	<options>
		<option name="ENABLE_FIGHT_SLOW_TURN" value="false" />
		<option name="MELEE_DISTANCE" value="45" />
		<option name="LANGUAGE" value="english" />
	</options>

Can you provide a screenshot of just your skill bar? Also, it would help to know what your actual hotkeys are assigned to in game. MAGE_FLAME is listed twice, which could cause problems.

[d003232]

Attached the hotkey layout ingame.

[Administrator]

In your profile, change what is inside<onLeaveCombat> and </onLeaveCombat> to this:

Code: Select all

printf("Player mana: %s\n", player.Mana);

Now when it's botting, kill a monster and it should report how much mana you have in the MicroMacro window. What does it say?

[d003232]

Thats strange. He really says that I have 0 mana???

Hmm. This char dont have a secundary class. And if I enter 'none' as energy type for the 2. class I get a error. So I used 'energy' for the ENERGY_STORAGE_2, even I dont have a 2. class???

[Administrator]

That is a problem. I am unable to replicate it, so it must be some difference in your files. Make absolutely sure that your addresses and offsets in addresses.lua matches this:

Code: Select all

-- Auto-generated by update.lua
patternstart_address = 0x5900F9;

staticcharbase_address = 0x88EF20;
charPtr_offset = 0x580;
castbar_offset = 0x248;
charX_offset = 0x2C;
charY_offset = 0x30;
charZ_offset = 0x34;
charAlive_offset = 0x210;
charHP_offset = 0x344;
charMaxHP_offset = 0x34C;
charMP_offset = 0x350;
charMaxMP_offset = 0x354;
charMP2_offset = 0x358;
charMaxMP2_offset = 0x35C;
charLevel_offset = 0x37C;
charLevel2_offset = 0x384;
charName_offset = 0x278;
charTargetPtr_offset = 0x260;
pawnAttackable_offset = 0x3F6;
inBattle_offset = 0x572;
camUVec1_offset = 0x38;
camUVec2_offset = 0x40;

[d003232]

It is really the same. To be absolutely sure, I copied your addresses into my addresses.lua . It is the same result. Mana 0.

btw: I also attached the error message if I insert 'none' for ENERGY_STORAGE_2.

edit: Cant I look with an hexeditor or so for the adresses / mana offset?

[Administrator]

Found it. You spelled "energy" in ENERGY_STORAGE_1 wrong. That was causing it to not be able to properly detect that your primary class used mana.

[d003232]

Damned. And THX!

Thats really impossible !!!

I generated my first profile with the RoM Bot Configuration Tool V1.4 that I downloaded yesterday evening. Could that really have such an incredible bug???

[d003232]

OK. Now it works perferct.

And I tested it again with "RoM Bot Configuration Tool V1.4". It generates really a profile with that wrong spelling.

[3cmSailorfuku]

Yes, unfortunately it generates a completly new profile instead of manipulating the xml nodes itself. That's mainly the big issue with using this programm. Makes it completly unreliable without daily patching by the developer.

[xxsinz]

Reason why I put all the settings in each skill because it changes when you level that skill, therefore making different settings (mana, cooldown, etc..). That is why you should put all the settings in your profile XML, otherwise you will run into problems.
