after running the update, the bot goes past the 67%, but autosell does not work. Tomorrow I will try to debug and see what is happening (or not happening)

Os so after eliminating EVERY variable This is what i came up with:
your bot is getting stuck at this:
Code: Select all
memoryReadInt(proc, 0x127F2D0 + (72))
Why? I honestly don't know but maybe Admin, rock5 or someone can elucidate on this.
What is address 0x127F2D0 or what does it point to?
In my case the expression above returns: 0x12694C0, what is the meaning of this address? is it the same for everyone?
Could the people experiencing the stuck problem test this:
Code: Select all
printf("THIS IS THE VALUE:\t"..memoryReadInt(proc, 0x127F2D0 + (72)).."\n");
?
and see if they return the same value (should be 19305664 or in hex 0x12694C0).
I can't reproduce the problem so I can't be much help testing, but I will continue to provide ideas and attack angles as far as i'm permited to try and solve this!

I was just discussing with Administrator that there might be a problem with the 'tablesBase' address. I was double checking it by following VoidMains instructions but couldn't find the value with the 540 and 78 offset (that's the last step). It's possible the offsets have changed. Although it's a bit of a mystery why it works on some systems.
Actually if I remember correctly there was a similar issue when VoidMain initially released the memory table functions. Something about it only working on certain systems with certain configurations. Something similar might be happening here.
I think we need to wait for VoidMain to solve this and maybe release updated instructions with possibly new offsets.

I guess those offsets have something to do with My earlier posts since in that series of posts I use that address. and therefore what I assumed correct was actually wrong?
probably the pointer's address is read correctly not meaning the address that was read is correct.
Here's a thought try using the correct address from someone who's got a good configuration and searching for it in a computer that is stuck! see if there is any difference in the pointed address.
Also I just remembered that my previous assumptions weren't fool proof at all because even it the stuck occurs at 67% it doesn't mean it must be in the step regarding 67% (i=18)!!! It could be somewhere before the graphical next step is show like the line regarding "tablesbase".

Hi everyone!
Had/Have the same problems -> on Windows 7/64 bit stucks nearly everytime.
Because someone mentioned it could be because of lack of permission i just tried starting ROM with administrator rights. This works for me. Everytime
At least it is a workaround over the hollydays ;D
Just try to rightclick rom and say Start as Administrator.
So to say thanks to get the idea I quickly registered
Maybe this solution works for you too.
hth,
knuffel

For me running as administrator doesnt work - that was the first option i tried.
As jduartedj already mentioned it still gets stuck in the memorytable.lua at:
I separated the lines with increasing numbers as printf output
It goes into the 18th loop which is
QuestNPCObjectDB and stops at
Code: Select all
local _table = CTDef(dataPointer);

CTDef calls CTDef:Update() which loops endless.
Activating the debugging capabilities shows the loop in the attached screenshot.

Thanks for all the debugging information. It truly is helpful. Tomorrow (Dec. 24th) is the first day I actually have off, so I might actually get a chance to tackle this problem.

I hope so because I have no idea. I have the problem so if you need me to test anything, just send it my way.

Line 91 of classes/memorytable.lua, you'll see this:
Code: Select all
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 or ( ( currId > ( lastId + 3 ) ) or ( currId < ( lastId - 3 ) ) ) ) then
Change those 3s to, say, 20. Does that fix it?

Change line to read
Code: Select all
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 or ( ( currId > ( lastId + 20 ) ) or ( currId < ( lastId - 20 ) ) ) ) then
made no difference - still stuck at 67%
The removed the secon part of the expression complelely and tried
Code: Select all
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 ) then
This seem to work for me at least

It doesn't work for me because it loops endless with a single currid: 113177
currid before was: 111130
Adding
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 or currId == currId or ( ( currId > ( lastId + 3 ) ) or ( currId < ( lastId - 3 ) ) ) ) then
brings up an "attempt to compare number with nil" error on the line
Code: Select all
if ( self.StartId > 800000 ) then -- Special case for one table that starts 32 bytes before...
I added the following for the attached screenshot:
Code: Select all
function CTDef:Update()
self.StartId = memoryReadInt(proc, self.Address + addresses.idOffset );
if ( self.StartId == nil ) then
cprintf( cli.yellow, "\nself.StartId: NIL :(\n" );
cprintf( cli.yellow, "proc: %s\n", proc );
cprintf( cli.yellow, "self.Address: %s\n", self.Address );
cprintf( cli.yellow, "addresses.idOffset: %s\n", addresses.idOffset );
end;
if ( self.StartId > 800000 ) then -- Special case for one table that starts 32 bytes before...
Sorry, i have no idea of coding but i hope it helps anyways

Some more feedback;
> Today 2 of my clients (characters) managed to load itemstables into cache, without any modification on revision 549. Then, they never stuck at 67% because there's a stored cache
> My third client, stuck at 67% like before, tried few times loading itemstables with no luck and restarted client. Magically it loaded itemstables after that...
Btw, r550 is available for testing

I tried this at line 87,
Code: Select all
print("lastItemDir",lastItemDir)
currItemDir = GetNextTableAddress( lastItemDir );
print("currItemDir",currItemDir)
It spat out output like this when it got stuck,
Code: Select all
lastItemDir 266338304
currItemDir 266338336
lastItemDir 266338304
currItemDir 266338336
lastItemDir 266338304
currItemDir 266338336
lastItemDir 266338304
currItemDir 266338336
That looks wrong as, before it gets stuck, the differences between the 2 values are usually much much larger.

Lets try this...
Line 87 of memorytable.lua, see this:
Code: Select all
currItemDir = GetNextTableAddress( lastItemDir );
if ( currItemDir ~= nil ) then
currId = memoryReadInt(proc, currItemDir + addresses.idOffset ); -- 12 bytes offset object id
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 or ( ( currId > ( lastId + 3 ) ) or ( currId < ( lastId - 3 ) ) ) ) then
-- no more ids for current table
break;
else
self.EndId = currId;
lastStartId = currId;
lastStartDir = currItemDir;
end;
else
Change to:
Code: Select all
local dupecheck = currItemDir;
currItemDir = GetNextTableAddress( lastItemDir );
if ( currItemDir ~= nil ) then
if( currItemDir == dupecheck ) then
-- Skip it.
printf("[DEBUG] Skip dupe\n");
self.EndId = currId;
lastStartId = currId;
lastStartDir = currItemDir;
else
currId = memoryReadInt(proc, currItemDir + addresses.idOffset ); -- 12 bytes offset object id
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 or ( ( currId > ( lastId + 3 ) ) or ( currId < ( lastId - 3 ) ) ) ) then
-- no more ids for current table
break;
else
self.EndId = currId;
lastStartId = currId;
lastStartDir = currItemDir;
end;
end
else
What happens?

Doesn't work. Still behaves the same. Tried printing currItemDir before and after that line 87 and it show that they are not the same.
Code: Select all
preItemDir 266338272
postItemDir 266338336
preItemDir 266338272
postItemDir 266338336
preItemDir 266338272
postItemDir 266338336
So comparing them to see if they are duplicate wont work. It sort of looks like it takes a step forward then 1 back, a step forward then 1 back.

I get the feeling that the problem is that it's not properly detecting the end (or rather start, since it goes backwards) of that table there, and that occasionally, the memory just beyond the start is a duplicate of the first item. Because it neither wants to advance to the next item nor break from the loop, it continues until the memory randomly gets changed (from any number of processes) to something that would cause it to break.
Lets try this. Change this line:
Code: Select all
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 or ( ( currId > ( lastId + 3 ) ) or ( currId < ( lastId - 3 ) ) ) ) then
To:
Code: Select all
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 or currId == lastId or ( ( currId > ( lastId + 3 ) ) or ( currId < ( lastId - 3 ) ) ) ) then

Ok then...Lets try this.
Code: Select all
dupeIdCheck = currId;
currId = memoryReadInt(proc, currItemDir + addresses.idOffset ); -- 12 bytes offset id object
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 or dupeIdCheck == currId or ( ( currId > ( lastId + 3 ) ) or ( currId < ( lastId - 3 ) ) ) ) then

Are we still talking bout Line 90?
Code: Select all
if ( currItemDir ~= nil ) then
dupeIdCheck = currId;
currId = memoryReadInt(proc, currItemDir + addresses.idOffset ); -- 12 bytes offset object id
if ( currId == nil or currId == 0 or dupeIdCheck == currId or ( ( currId > ( lastId + 3 ) ) or ( currId < ( lastId - 3 ) ) ) ) then
still loops and dupeIdCheck is nil at this point
