Does running with Ctrl Z activated cause any issues with the bot? (Interface hidden) And if not how would I activate it when rombot is first loaded for a character?

I believe it affects some things but I'm not sure what. Maybe someone else knows.

To hide the UI the game does this

Code: Select all

CloseAllWindows();
UIParent:Hide();

from memory hiding the UI makes all user interface things not work, so yeah it prob wouldn't work so well with bot like that, did you test it ?

I'll run my 12 shell alts through mini's etc with interface hidden and see how it goes and get back to you. The reason im curious is that frame rates are a lot higher with interface hidden, which could in turn affect performance.

Already i have noticed the first issue, and that is to do with loot and receiving items. It seem to get a 'back log' of items received, but don't move into your bags until interface is turned back on....wouldn't be a problem if it wasnt for the "there is no bagspace left" message that appears due to it. Guess it won't really work.

If the loot is just in the que to go into bag you could just hide it for a while, show it, then hide it again.

I've noticed, my Addon LootIt will not throw items away (I think Lootomatic won't do that too). And PetAutoCraft cannot put new pet craft tools in the slot after using 99.

Yeh i used to get that a year ago when i used to manually farm KS. Lootomatic would lag me out a fair bit (bad comp) so i would hide the interface, clear through a heap of KS, then show to clean my bags out, then repeat.

I just did a bit of testing with lootomatic. It loots ok but doesn't drop. But when you show the interface it immediately drops the items. So you could just make showing the interface part of your full bag check. Although lootomatic has that annoying popup when you have too many items to drop.
