Many thanks for keeping her up to date, and I'm sure there are many other people who actually use the bot who are very grateful .

nice. thanks. I just started using this again after about a year without.

Now I've just got to figure out again how to re-add some of the features I used to have. Like logging gifts, responding to unknown @tells, and telling people what their chances were with AND without brilliance.

Hi There I have spent allot of time configureing this to work right and have had great help form all of you,but I am stumped at the equpiment part. I'm sure its sometihng simple but I just need a explamle to go off of. I cut this chunk out so hopefully someone could place my ite ion there right so I know how to do this.

Leet item would be this: Faran Robe with Hood, AL 0, [0.8/0.8/1.0/0.2/0.2/0.1/0.2], Value 50, 200BU

This is one of the items I would want to equip:
Pyreal Yoroi Pauldrons, work 6, AL 241, Major Weapon Tinkering Expertise, Brogard's Defiance, Lore 330, Value 8970, 239 BU

// LeetWear are items to be wielded when idle. You cannot put any hand-held items in this list!
//Call AddInvItem LeetWear, YourItem
//Call AddInvItem LeetWear, YourItem

//Universal wield items for all tinkering skills:
//Call AddInvItem UniversalTink, Focusing Stone
//Call AddInvItem UniversalTink, YourItem // Major/Minor Focus Item

//Weapon tinkering:
//Call AddInvItem WeaponTink, YourItem // Major/Minor Weapon Tink item
//Call AddInvItem WeaponTink, YourItem // Major/Minor Strength item


Thank you all and I am very excited to see the site back and running again.

All you need to do is replace:
//Call AddInvItem WeaponTink, YourItem
With
Call AddInvItem WeaponTink, Pyreal Yoroi Pauldrons

To set up your robe, do the same thing with the LeetWear settings.

I *think* I used to have a read up on what comments were before at the top, but it's not there anymore.

You need to know that anything that is preceded by // are comments and the macro just skips over them. The comments usually tell you information about how to do something, or how to set up your minor/major items in this example.

Hum ok I did that before but it didnt equip anytihng, just skipped right to the tink. I'll give it another try tonight Thank you

Alright tested it and it worked great just had to carfully read what you put, thank you all very much and this is a great product thank you!

If you ever want to test something without actually applying the salvage (unless this code has been modified), you can open TinkInit and set the Test variable to 1. I don't recall if it also disables buffing or not, but it was very useful in the development and testing of the macro.

Just make sure you turn it back off when you're done.

Unfortunately, no AC plans for now.

Glad you've taken up on it, I saw you split up beefcake some . I hope you find it as fun as I did to improve and maintain.

I saw that someone hacked it, there were a lot of good macro threads that were lost to that. I have all of my macros on my home pc...but I don't know what would still work with the new decal.

Bot working great for me. Funny to see a line in MP waiting to use. Thanks for all your hard work.

ah, thanks i didn't expect it to be included in the log for some reason. I was looking in the debug log not the log.txts...go figure.

however I am noticing a couple problems with unequipping/reequipping items. Not sure if it is due to lag delays or what. First off from what I saw in tasks.mac there supposed to be 5 loops of 1 second allowed to equip/unequip an item. However that seems to just blow by almost immediately on my computer and sometimes it fails and i get the failed to equip/unequip message.

And also I seem to fail to equip my casting orb at least some of the time. If I don't equip it to begin with, then the bot doesn't self equip and start casting. so i get no buffs. Also if it doesn't equip at some other point after tinkering, then no buffs again. is the procedure castspells mixed up with the name spellcasting in the rebuff one or what the heck? i'm too tired. got to go to bed and look when i can see straight.

ok I pm'ed you the version info.

I think i have it working better now.

i figured out the wand part after awhile. You can call me a newbie. i didn't have the word orb capitalized. doh. as usual the answer is something quite simple to make me look silly.

but the part about equipping some of the majors i'm not sure. i changed that 1 second delay for equpping them to 2 seconds and it seems to work everytime that i've observed it since.


i did observe 2 other problems though. one was a failed ID error of sorts saying doesn't exist on game server. the other was from @tellng the person too much that the server keeps you from communicating.

I was thinking of going to the chathandler and adding that message in and maybe do something like go into combat mode so they can't open trade for 30s or something. keeps the bot from trying to tell them stuff. either that or rebuff maybe.

The failed ID error isn't anything I can control. I've found ways to detect when it happens and give the user an error message... and that's the best that can be done.

The squelch problem I am aware of. Tool no longer picks up on gag messages (it doesn't fall into any of the four chat catagories) so the script's gag protecetion no longer works. The only way I could protect against the bot speaking too much is to actually keep track of how often it speaks... which, considering the fact that I don't even know what the speach limit is before gag, isn't really something I care to think about. I *could* shorten the report messages, but I personally like them better this way. In other words, I have no intentions of fixing the gag problem at this time. If Tool gets updated to detect gag messages then I will repair the script's gag protection.

As far as your PM goes, it sounds like you have the correct version.

Bots been working great, only problem is when it crashes, it restarts ac as it should, but It won't hit the Enter world button. If I do it manual, it enter ac and bot starts up auto like it should. Running in full screen mode, 1024x768. It appears mouse coords are not working right for the enter world. It picks the correct world and toon. Any advise how I fix this?

Thanks

Is there a way to make it so you can add certain person to log the bot off if it breaks, such as it cannot ID an item or some other problem? I thought mabye the remote logoff would be able to do this, but it appears to just make the bot turn off the scrpit and go into combat mode. Was not sure even if it did log the bot off it if would auto restart. I guess what I am looking for is something that would do an alt f4 then so it would restart? Is this something that could be done?


Thanks again for your hard work

Reference this code in your config:

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to the new version.

Anyone else having problems with Dye bot working after patch? I have not been able to get mine working. It sometimes will crush the plant, then turn back the item, but not the crushed plant. If I use a Vial of Dye it seems to work fine.

I don't know how long you've been around, or whether or not you already know this...but it is usually good to assume that something is going to be broken after a patch - especially given that the bot uses a ton of different variables and different commands.

Ok, here's a tiny update. If these features don't interest you then I wouldn't bother upgrading as you will need to re-do your config.

TinkerBot 3.6

• Messages left by users now go into a MessageLog.txt file (messages have not been removed from the BotLog.txt file)
• Messages left by users can now be sent to an email address.
• Admins can now send a remote command to relog the bot.

New version is working well for me so far. Thanks. The admin relog is great, as if the bot has problems I have several guild officers setup to restart.

i have a ? not sure what all you would need to give me an answer but we can start with the ? and go from there. and yes i'm a NOOB at this stuff. that out of the way here we go.

ok running bot all the new stuff listed that i needed to have : check

configure the bot to my specs :

my bot doesn't want to wear it's clothes to tink? it will just stand there naked
and i don't have life magic on this bot so i set it to option 3 to use rations and potions but it wants to lay down instead?

any help would be great and as i said i don't know what you would need to see to tell me wtf i'm doing wrong



// Mana Recovery Settings:
SetConst MinMana = 50 // The bot will recover mana when below this amount.
SetConst ManaRecov =3 // Method to recover mana. Options: 1 = Health to Mana, 2 = Stamina to Mana, 3 = Use mana restoring item
SetConst UseRevit = 0 // Use revitalize after stam2mana? 1 for yes, 0 to use stam items or to lay down for recovery.

thanks Appraisers TD

for those lines that you want active, remove the // in front of it.

a line with a // starting it makes the whole line a comment. If in the middle of a line you see //, then everything after the // is a comment. IE

instead of:
//Call AddMana Elaborate Field Mana Rations

make it:
Call AddMana Elaborate Field Mana Rations

For clothing and other stuff:

instaed of:
//Call AddInvItem ItemTink, Velvet Doublet // Major/Minor Item Tink item

make it
Call AddInvItem ItemTink, Velvet Doublet // Major/Minor Item Tink item

That should solve your problems of being nekkid and not using pots and rations.

Thanks Dirk. Sorry I didn't respond myself. I usually get an email when someone posts here (like I did when Dirk posted), but for some reason I didn't for yours Jackal.

I wanted to say thank you. I installed the new version today and it's working perfectly.

I do have one question; I'd been using version 3.4, and it seems to me that this newer version is much faster. Is that just my imagination or did you speed it up?

I didn't do anything to speed it up... at least not on purpose

Interesting then, I watched several people using my tinkerbot today and I definitely see her adding multiple bags of salvage without nearly as much of a delay between each tink.

Whatever the reason for it, I'm happy and so are the people using her.

Well, it looks like you skipped a few versions

Server lag might be a lot lower..that would certainly be capable of having a huge impact on the bot's performance.

Cool.. new versions. I haven't checked these boards since the hacks, and my bot's been down (got tired of people complaining about him not being able to ID stuff) for a couple months. I'll get my pc all up to date, and see if I can't get this working

Thanks for all the hard work!

I may upgrade to the newer version, the remote relog command makes me happy

Just wondering, has anyone testing tinker bot using dual client? Does it work, I know if I try to alt tab out of ac, I seem to go back into ac, so I assume dual client won't work with tinkerbot?



thanks for any info.

The tinkerbot might still rely on mouseclicks, and I know for sure that it demands to be the active window...because the client used to be pretty prone to crashes, and it used to have to do a lot of clicks in the interface and even typing I believe. Code was added to make sure that it was always the active window and if it wasn't, to make it the active window or reload AC if it wasn't running.

So--no it should not work with dual client at the current state. Plus, it relies on decal variables, dual client + decal is likely unpredictable at best.

I asked Drakier a long time ago to give each instance of AC a unique window name so that it could possibly work with AC Tool. His reply was "Why would I want to make it easier for people to macro".

So, no.. it will not work.

Macro's are the least of his concern, I believe that ElTank holds a greater end of the UCM, and perhaps others since I've been gone, and those are not even a plain script -- they're plugins..though I guess the line is hard to draw on macros and plugins *shrug*.

Decal would forbid any good use of the variables anyways with two windows open anyways--it's pretty lame that he replied in that manner, especially being that this macro is meant for the better part of the community to help others and not level up.

I ran into some type of bug today. I will try to explain it the best I can.

Someone just tinked an item on bot. Got there item back no problems.

Someone else started to use the bot, but it was still talking to the person before.

Tell the % and so on. The person before then in turns was able to tell the other person to tink the item, and then steal the item from the bot.


Any ideas?

Any way to add a /a spammer? For instance, I want to make an announcement every hour to /a about a quest that I have planned for the weekend or something like that. What would be the easiest way to impliment this?

quick question. I was running 3.5 till the last patch and now the companion crashes decal instantly. Do I need to get the 3.6 version to fix this or can I stay with 3.5 and somehow fix it?

Yaroz it would be very easy to implement something like that. Just add:

Hello...
Thank you for the info..

Yep I saw this happen first hand. Sat and watched it.

One person came along to the bot, did some tinks. done. Second person opened trade window to tink, and hit trade. 1st person was still getting @tells from the bot, and told bot to tink the item. The 1st person was also able to get the 2nd person item.

Not sure what the deal is. It has since happened 2 times. Each time the bot lags real bad, as if it was being done by someone.


Also just wanted to let everyone know that there a new version of Decal out, and the old version will only work until patch next week. So bot might not work anymore. I hope it fixed if it does break....

Perhaps someone figured out a way to send fake packets to AC? I don't know for sure, but the bot's been thus far pretty secure. I don't know what's been updated since I stopped working on it, but nothing caught my eye looking at the code. Perhaps adding a delay or something after the trade is opened? It's probably not the most exciting thing to do given that some bots are busy--but it might fix the problem too.
You could also modify the return code to make the bot open the trade or manually hand the items back to the person--the only problem is if they move around the bot will end up chasing them. Trade windows were the only way around that problem, otherwise I would probably have had the bot just hand the items because working the the trade window sucked. There might be some other ideas you could implement, but I believe that the variables are filling incorrectly.

Do some testing and have the bot sendtext the information of the person that has the trade opened and try to replicate the problem. See if the bot is seeing the correct person, and if it is -- then it's a code problem, if not--the variables are screwed up.

Also, to hand the items (if you decide to make the bot do this instead), I believe StackItemGuid should do the trick very well. You're going to want to Select the person, then check returnitem for their name, and then loop through the items if there are any and use StackItemGUID on _SelectedGuid (it might be safer to make a constant to store their GUID just in case and use it on the Stacks instead.)

Given some time and some effort, you can get this stuff to work I'm sure. After you've got the basics, if your bot is a public one - you'll want to make sure that the person is close enough to hand items to. I don't remember the available variables for this anymore (_SelDistance? Check the help listings).

Perhaps, if you want to get even more proofing on this, do the testing on each item, and then if they are consistently trying to lure the bot, or make the bot move far out of position, threaten a ban - and return to your old spot. Returning to your spot might prove to be too much to put in (but there is GatreNav). It's up to you on how much work you want to put into it. If there's a lot of improvements, don't hesitate to share with everyone else

Good luck

btw, Dark Monolith adds 3 to coord, end, self and quick.. I went ahead and modified my Font procedure to use the Dark Monolith as well.

Just wondering if there might be a new version and or compainion in the works to work with the new decal that came out thursday?

I for soem reason can not get mine to work on 1 of my system and I have tried everything so really hopeing to start fresh with something new:P

I've read a few things about decal and deleting a registry surrogate key. Check out the decal website, as I believe it describes this with the new version changes and macros relying on surrogates. Someone has already posted this somewhere, but I won't look for it for you. Take a look around for it on the forums...I think it's here somewhere.

Thanks all for the info. I don't know much about any of this script stuff but I am going to see what I can figure out.


My understanding is Shein Tao has quit, so the tinkerbot no longer being updated.
