This thread is no longer maintained as we have moved to http://eq2-tsbot.co.cc/forums So, come join us.

Thanks guy! You rock!

As we see my prediction about them returning came true last night.

Just takes the steam out of even caring enough about this place to care what happens. Damn board is so insecure that anyone who starts a valid thread is just asking for it so I said to myself "why bother?"

btw: You are welcome.

DaMob,

Were do you guys post updates and bug fixes to the currently mac? I use to work with some of the guys and want to help out as I'll be working with this and a buff bot for my Mystic.

Let me know,

Frager

Well, I don't support this anymore. I haven't played EQ2 since Sept 13, 2005 and with KoS I can't get into a tradeskill instance on the trial account so it is pointless to even try now.

With the recent two hackings, seeing how we are still broke in a few places on this board (can't even delete a reply now), and we are still on 1.3.1 I no longer care to even try.

Why try when it can all be flushed down the toilet again, or several against?

Supposedly we are getting a HUGE revamp to tradeskills around LU24 and this is when I hope they open the TS on the Ilse up for non paying customer to try if not then I can't support this macro any longer since I do not plan on ever again playing another SoE product and considering it was over 5 years since I last did I can say with some certainty I won't ever.

I just upgraded from 2.0.6a and ran into an issue that is odd. It will craft a random number (less than 5 it seems) normally, then all of the sudden it races through 1 or 2 crafts. I'm not sure how that is possible, but it seems to double the speed at which my crafter makes things. After that it goes back to normal, but will not try to counter any events....then races and goes back to countering events. Very strange, but I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and if they found a fix for it.

You are the first person to have mentioned this problem and I had over ~600 replies before this site was hacked a few weeks ago.

Anyone else notice this issue?

I am still holding out hope that LU24 or LU25 (if not by 25 then I am officially leaving this thing and washing my hands of SoE forever) allows crafting on the trial account so I can see if everything still works and if not fix it. I tried about a month ago now and as of LU20 crafting on the trial was removed so I couldn't get in to try it or revamp this thing.

Well, I THINK I've figured it out, but it still makes no sense and I don't know how to stop it. It appears that its hitting the start button twice while it is green and somehow starting the crafting process twice at once. This uses double the fuel, but still only creates the one item. I've been looking for a variable to slow down the left clicks a bit, but can't seem to find it. I'm at a loss to explain HOW it is even possible to have 2 crafting processes going, but that seems to be what it is doing as I'm pretty sure I see 2 clicks and I'm missing 2 fuel at the end of it.

Well, I have no idea how that could be but if you think about what a helluva way to blast through crafting levels. Hell I would love to implement that if I could so everyone could rocket to 70 even faster.

Stay in touch with your findings though.

Unfortunately, it pretty much ends the crafting process unless you have multiple stacks of components as it does not release the 'reserved item' status on the main component (doing refines and my worts seem to be available, but my raws are red as if I were still crafting). I've tried slowing down virtually every left click I could find and it still does it. I"m about at wits end here and I can't go back to 2.0.6a since the recipe reader doesn't seem to create the .xml file correctly (can't view it cause there's always 1 error or another) and it tries to start the wrong recipe. For whatever reason, your GUI recognizes all my recipes and starts the right one so it works fine (apparently with the same recipes.xml file, but I could be wrong on that).

/sigh back to crafting by hand so I can get something done today. Will probly try again later

Do this if you can.

I want you to craft by hand but I want you to take a picture (screen shot) of each step because honestly I don't even know what the new crafting screen looks like.

If I can see each step (including it crafting) I might can spot something and get at least a beta up (worth a shot).

rar up the screenshots and post the rar so I can investigate.

Thanks.

Using MacrossUI2.0 it doesn't look any different. If you have YahooIM or something I can reach you through that, we might be able to figure this out as I have been able to duplicate the problem crafting by hand so I know exactly what's causing it, just not how to fix it. I'm hoping your familiarity with the code will help on that end. I'll start mine up, my handle is tigerfan1977 on there as well. If you can't contact me that way, I guess reply here and we'll do it this way.

I am in the process of installing a 250gig sata drive but we can get on irc as I haven't done IM for ages.

IRC or pm's would be preferred.

edit: Oh, a sidenote the new WD2500KS has a firmware issue that WD is looking at.

Since I'm not sure when we could get together before Sunday, and I can't attach a file to a PM, I'll post what I found here.

Screenshot 0 is the crafting window ready for a repeat, 1 is while crafting and 2 is the blank window that should be there briefly while the window switches from completed item (screenshot 0) to crafting (screenshot 1). Every now and then, screenshot 2 does not happen, instead the green (repeat?) button stays there and is clicked again. That is what causes the double crafting process. Note that the end of that double process does not seem to give double xp or items created, but does seem to take double fuel and resin (in this case).

Basically, there needs to be some sort of pause in there after it clicks the green button the first time so that it does not click it again before the crafting process starts (1 second, maybe 1.5). It would be helpful if that pause only affected the procedure which checks for the green button and clicks it so the macro does not get behind when the crafting process works as it should.

..

Works perfectly, thank you very much. I believe you're the first person I've ever had willing to work with me to fix a problem I was having on a macro, and the author, none the less.

As a further suggestion, though it might not work for those running closer to the minimum specs than I am, I also took the sample delay time down to .5 seconds as it was missing 30-40% of the events. It now misses VERY few, if any.

So, I'm back to carpal tunal free refining (and green subs) Great macro

You are welcome.

Sample delay time? Can you explain a tad more as something might have changed that I am unaware of since the last time I logged in.

edit: Nevermind I got what you meant now. I think I might add a slider to the GUI for that.

New version completed. V4.0.4 is now available for download.

If anyone tries out the new counter delay slider remember you will need to find your sweet spot for your machine. 250ms is pushing the limits unless you have a super fast machine so for most normal mortals 500 to 1000 will be where most will end up.

Kick Ass DaMob!!!

(As well as welcome back to everquest 2?)

Love your TS Bot.

Thank you.

I am not back in EQ2 but with valid and helpful users I can make the world spin, or at least get a macro working.

I have already revised (about 30 mins after I put 4.0.4 up) the slider to allow 8 positions between 250ms and 1 second which should be more than enough for anyone. I am waiting to release it when something breaks or something someone wants gets added.

The macro will not counter crafting events. I have tried both 4.0.4 and 4.0.3. and I have reinstalled several times.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I can't get this marco to stop at the different quality lvls. It always goes on to make pristine. Is there something im doing wrong?

P.S. GREAT program thnx alot man

SWEET, thnx man, works now. again great program

No problem.

See this issue was gone over a ton back in the old threads but thanks to those script kiddies that thread is gone (no google cache of them either).

Hello i tryed to dl this macro and i clicked open and t auto runs actool but wen it opens it shows one line of code that says Rawr with two rectangles or something and that is it and it will not run at all wat is my problem?

yes right now when I try to dl it all it is that shows up is one line of code that says this

Rar!

Ahhhh, rar is different than RAWR.

I don't do zip as a protest for a shitastic compressor and company so you need to go download winrar and use it like you would zip (winrar will even unzip zipped items but zip will not unrar rar'd items).

Every time i go to extract the new version it is giving me an error message.

WinRAR: Diagnostic Messages:
!! C:\Documents and Settings\My Folder\TS4(1).0.4.rar: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged

Any ideas??
THanks
John

Also, i went and looked at the size of the file and it is 0. So i am d/ling nothing from that first link...

Right click save as on the file because the file is intact I just checked.

Cool cool. will try this when i get home. I love your program. I've just been away from game for a few months and want to get back into the crafting. THanks for the tip on d/ling. Will see what happens when i get home.

JOhn

Heya,
Tried right clicking the link and selecting Save Target As, still got the same result (a 0 byte file). I think tried to just left click and 'save as' same thing. Also, tried holding down CTRL and clicking the link and yet again i got the same file. 0byte. Dont know what i'm doing wrong. Figures something as easy as this is impossible for me.

Well, you do have winrar installed on your system correct? If it is make sure .rar is associated with winrar (when you installed it make sure .rar is checked). Now just click (left click) the link and download it (I just did this again in Firefox and it downloaded a 566k file which passed rar's crc).

Yea, i just cheated and jumped on my laptop and it d/ld the file fine...so i dont know wth is up with my main computer. will delete the other stupid posts i had I'm sure i may be back on here in a bit Take care bud!

No, problem.

Since this website was hacked we can nolonger delete our messages and Cam no longer responds to pm's so this board is half assed until he finally fixes the issues (and gets us the hell off of 1.x of IPB).

I am sure he will do the above once he finds some time.

Having a problem. Moved my tradeskilling to a slightly slower (graphical) machine. Apparently when the macro runs, if it clicks stop then start too fast, it will keep the items you are working on in reserve. Reserve state is where you can not move or do anything with the stack. Then when it goes to next recipe, it will not use that stack but go to the next one instead, until I end up with 3-4 stacks of reserved items that can not be used until I camp out then come back in the game.

This fast clicking is caused by it graphically lagging just a wee bit after it clicks stop, thus both clicks go almost at same time to SOE, leaving the stack in a reserved state. SOE knows about the reserve bug, but have been unable to of course squash it. (Big surprise there...)

Anyhow, is there a variable present in the setup to set the delay between when the macro clicks stop and when it clicks start? Can it be added so it can be tweeked? Or barring all that can you tell me where the delay is and will just manually change it?

Thanks guy.

*EDIT*

Actually the bug seems to be taking place between after the recipe is done, and the macro clicks the next button, then the create button. If it clicks those too fast it reserves the stack you were working on, and goes on to the next stack of resources.

Hmmmm, I am not understanding exactly where in the process you are talking about but have you tried the "wait between combines" as it defaults to 3 seconds or are you saying this is happening not between recipe 1 then recipe 2, etc... but all the while it is on the same recipe?

Can you explain where in better detail (remember I don't play EQ2 so I am having a tad trouble understanding where this might be occurring) so I can get a fix out?

GK: Shoot me a pm with your email addy so we can set up a time to do a little testing. I just added a new routine and will need your help in making sure it works. This routine might be what your are talking about or near it.

V 4.0.5
1 Changed the GUI once more to allow finer control over the Check delay (250ms-1sec in 125ms increments).
2 Added a Stopped Delay (see docs for information) slider for slower machines (250ms - 3secs in 250ms increments).
3 GUI is now V1.3a due to the above.
4 Changed the quality checking routine a tad to make it more lag proof (less prone to too many clicks).

I hope #4 can be done but I need to talk to you before I know since I can't TS on the free trial.

thank you for the great macro damob (arn't you the guy that wrote awesome stuff for e&b?)
not to argue with you, but I think you can TS on the trial island, I will verify and report back

It is happening at the begining of the routine. After it has completed an item the routine stops or is stopped if you are dumbing the item. The 3sec wait time happens, everything is cool.

Then it clicks the left button on the completed recipe window, then rapid fire clicks it again on the create recipe window. Too fast on slower machines. What happens is when you make something all the component stacks are flagged by SOE are being 'reserved'. Which means you can't move them, or add/subtract from them. They are red. When you are done making something, they are still reserved. No idea why, but either exiting the crafting window, or starting the crafting going again, unflags them, checks them to be sure they are good, then reflags them. Well if you click the start, then create buttons too fast, it does not have time to do that, thus they remain in a reserved state, and the crafting table will not use that stack. It will check to see if you have another stack of the stuff, then go to it, if not will end the crafting. And leave the crap in a reserved state so you have to log out and log back into the game to clear it. Pain in the arse.

Will try you new version in a few mins here, have laundry in.

The green button. On both the page when the recipe is done and the one to create a new recipe.

Ok. Tried out v4.0.4. Have a bug. The program just continously spams the keys that I selected for spam keys without any delay until I am out of power. Still tries of course to spam them then too.

[v4.0.4]

Ok, fixed kinda sorta the spamming key bug. What happened was the new one I installed had different defaults then what I usually use. The time between spam keys was set to 4, I usually have it at 12. Well I set it to 12, and it still went off at 4. I stopped the macro, restarted it, then it started doing it at 12. Must be checking that data prior to getting to the screen to set it up or something.

My delay between doing recipes is set to 12 also to get power back, but it is doing the next recipe right away. Again. Stopped macro, restarted it, had no affect, is still going right to next recipe. Can this be set as high as 12 or does it only allow for single digit delays?

*EDIT* Checked the Initializers.ini file and changed delay between from NONE to 12.

*EDIT2* Think I may have fixed the reserved issue. Needs more testing, edit Checkingroutines.ini and bumped the delays in the Testifstarted procedure from 250ms to 500ms. Will just tweek them as need be and see where it ends up.

*EDIT3* Ok, fixed the reserved bug with that change. But, still have not been able to tweek the delays between recipes. I changed the constant in the Initializers file of RestDelay from NONE to 12. And it still going right to next recipe even though that is set to 12 and it is set to 12 on the configuration page when the macro is running.

*EDIT4* Ok, figured that one out too. That is the delay between actual different recipes and not a delay between repeats.

Need if you could:

1. An adjustment to the delays in the Checkingroutines. Slider bar is perfect.

2. A delay that can be set between each creation. In order to gain power back when massively spamming buttons which I tend to do. *ducks* So if I'm making 200 Granum Wash, I can set a delay tween each one of the creations for gaining power back. Right now I think that delay is for between actual recipes, so if I set it to 12 secs, it would give me a delay of 12 secs tween say the 200 Granum Wash and 200 Granum Oil yes? So need a Repeat Delay box where it can be set to however many seconds.

Thanks again dude for having patience and bearing with me on my crazy method of testing.
