[Update] XenoBot v2.8.6

[DarkstaR]

This update fixes some timing issues with the Scripter and adds some of the most popularly requested features, including minimizing backpack and equipment. This update also allows the Looter to skip bodies which have no loot inside of them.

Changelog:

v2.8.6
Tweaked the timing on the Scripter.
Modified the "Follow" Targeting stance to be much more fluid.
Modified the Looter to ignore bodies which dropped no loot.
Fixed a bug with the Item.GetName() function in the Scripter which caused it to throw an error when passed an invalid item ID.
Added the following functionality to the Scripter:
Container:Minimize()
Functionality: Closes container which belongs to the calling instance
Notes: Fails if there is a dialog window open
Client.HideEquipment()
Functionality: Hides the equipment window
Notes: Fails if there is a dialog window open
Client.ShowEquipment()
Functionality: Shows the equipment window
Notes: Fails if there is a dialog window open
Creature:Attack()
Functionality: Attacks the creature which belongs to the calling instance
Return: 1 if successful, 0 if failed
Creature:Follow()
Functionality: Follows the creature which belongs to the calling instance

lovee the update,
can i kiss you? :*

DarkstaR any idea when or if we will get a better depositing function? Atm it's impossible to bot certain spawns without clearing out your depot every few hour or at least once a day. Has nothing to do with being lazy but full depots cause a lot of scripts to bug or screw up.

Put a stack of BPs in the Slot, check it once ever few days. Not a priority for an update.

Nice Update!!!

I will test this after ss! :D

Do you have any idea what kind of loot a 3-400 ek get hunting 6 hours at banuta? I don't think you do. That's one thing I've noticed that Ibot has over xeno unfortunately. I've looked for ways around this, but it actually hinders the creation of many scripts. Several scripts can't be made or used by hugh lv chars such as deeplings/banuta/etc. idk if I'm wrong someone please give me a solution.

[Nostrax]

Awesome ;)

[Mega]

About the new looter, that doesnt loot if the body is empty, Does this mean it wont loot someone elses monster also?? many times im running to a body which i didnt even got most exp of.

[Stusse]

Great so see minimizing and so on! Great job!

[Joey]

Aff gatta update scripts again.. But ohwell its for a good cause, thank you Darkstar!

I've gone 20 backpacks deep with loot and not had a problem. Use the minimize eq/bp functions to give more screenspace and it should be fine.

[reaper15]

Joey, how do you update scripts, cause I have been botting mino task on ek for a day straight and have not updated. So do scripts automatically update?

i am botting deeplings on my 250ek and i dont see any problem, lol

@topic
nice update :D

DarkstaR You didnt answer me in 2.8.5 Update theard so i will just copy my post

bot is missing bodies when step diagonal to them, it happens mostly under water (sunken, sea serpents). Also bot is still not moving across special areas while its set to walk on fire and walk on furnitures and we need to use mapclicks, so we cant still bot on demons becouse of this ugly fire elementals shooting fire fields(i know, it was reported many times )
Next thing is that if u have wpt next to hole or stairs and u are using mapclicks then bot is falling down/going up very often.
If Pos Z is 7 then i cant see what is under me when i use xray so its still possible to make someone red skull if he is using exori with xray checker. I heard that elfbot had same issue but idk why, can u explain me why? I am really curious

Now some proposals
1. Can u add something like setPlayerDetectedAlarmEnabled(true/false)? Its really anyoying when i hear everytime when my char is reffiling "player detected" alarm. Its ok if someone is botting 1acc but it makes u angry when u are botting 12 or more accs.
2. Can u add atleast one more spell to targetting? I know, its possible by lua file, but i caught my char 10-15 times (last time 2 days ago) running around the spawn using wand only, becouse lua get bugged, even reloading script was not helping, i had to restart files. 10-15 times in 3 months(cuz i started to use lua targetting 3 months ago) is veeeeeery rare, but still adding more spells to targetting should make this safe bot even more safe than it is now :D

[soul4soul]

Guess it helps people with really small screens. its already/been possible to only make the gold bp reset and have everything else minimized. I do enjoy the ability to attack and follow creatures. Awesome to ignore empty bodies too. fingers crossed for self.soul() next update.

[Xeromex]

very nice, next function reconnect?

[kubax36]

Why do u want reconnect function? Do u really wants to lose your equip and some lvls while u go afk?

I am at school at the server save and I come home 6 hours after that, so it would be nice if there's coming a reconnector

[Syntax]

Haven't tested but you could always try to attack/follow yourself.

[Niyar]

For now it's working great. Thanks :)

Wont work, soz.

[Mega]

the new follow on diagonal stance, is moving to much from side to side behind the monster,

and also please put some delay on diagonal movement.

[stefps]

thanks bro was requesting this long ago

[Fixi]

Tested it for 12 hours on 3 accounts. no problems :D
Thanks for this awsome update!

[fxtrok]

How does the resizing works?

[Daggyn]

i've got the same problem. My advice for you its: download Teamviewer, and if you got phone with Android, just do reconnect from phone if u are out of home : p

DarkstaR

Since this update my char falls into holes more often than before. Im botting nightmares and grims with my ek on yalahar and when the bot goes doen to kill 1 grim it now falls down to -2 where there are a lot more grims. It happens when the bot is targetting the grim and diagonal stance is on. The grim moves, so does the character and then it falls downstairs.

Anyone else with that problem? Its since this update so it has to do something with it. Yesterday it fell downstairs 3 times in 2 hours. Before the update the char fell 1 time in 2 weeks...

[Robin2161]

Quick question! Is it not possible to make the bot skip looting the creeps that are not yours?

[Avani]

Just a question:

Does the "Skip Looting" function works if the dead monster has nothing in it, or if the monster has nothing in it whats on your loot list?

[PunktG]

in mine case only nothing in it

[fxtrok]

Can someone pls explain me how to activate the backpack resizing?

[Erra]

Trying to make a script to minimize containers, what am I doing wrong?


cont = Container.GetByName("Backpack")
cont:Minimize()


Because nothing's happening :O

Right.. the scripter window is a dialog window, which means I have to close it for the script to work, lol.

So basically, nvm!

[Erra]

You can use my script :)

Curious: does this happen when the walker is walking, or when you are following a creature?

[Robin2161]

I think he said following a creature, might be wrong though! Got a question for you, is it possible to make the bot not trying to loot if the loot isn't yours.. Saying another player got more exp and the loot is his, the bot still stands by the creature and tries to loot i. DarkstaR

[GambaZ]

It's happening for me time to time too, but walker seems fine, it's falling into holes, stairs etc. in when following & attacking a creature.

[dondiablo]

Curious: does this happen when the walker is walking, or when you are following a creature?

It happens when the bot is targetting a monster. In my case the bot tries to stay diagonal from the monster. When the monster moves the bot also moves to stay diagonal and when there are stairs nearby the bot falls downstairs quite often now.

you said you "Modified the "Follow" Targeting stance to be much more fluid."

Does it have to do something with that?

[Mega]

also like i said before the new diagonal stance when monsters run away, it runs to many times from side to side. i dont know if its tweakable.

[DarkstaR]

I'll have to use the old follow until I can fix the problems with this new one. I'll put it back in and have a release soon.

[kubax36]

Curious: does this happen when the walker is walking, or when you are following a creature?

i noticed when bot is following creature and the hole is on his way then it just step on this hole like on normal floor, so ye its becouse of targetting :D

[DarkstaR]

Try putting a 3x3 targeting special area starting northwest around the holes it falls down. Will be a potential fix until I'm able to fix and release (wont be tonight, I'm not at home.)

[hoodnasty]

Same, and then the walker gets stuck randomly.

Don't know if it was anything to do with the update but it's happening to me aswell=p
