Hiya

I've been trying a few different macro programs with varying levels of success to farm crucible optionals but as soon as I try to get them to "loop" so I can run them for a couple of hours, failure!  Macro Recorder has worked best so far... I can make it recall, reset and re-enter the quest but then whether its due to latency / lag / whatever... the character always ends up at a slightly different position every time on the run towards the first NPC... Any suggestions?

Cheers peeps Smiley Smiley

Forgot to add I've tried to keep the variables I can control such as zoom level, window positions etc... as constant as I can.

I suppose you could try to modify the script posted here and build in some more fail safes.  Basically, if any portion of your script fails, you want to recall out and start over.

So using the previously posted script, you could add an image search for the dialog box after it is supposed to be open, and if it isn't open, then you route to the recall subroutine.  That would fix some, but not all, of your lag created problems.

The script above is nice, but have to make bitmaps etc to get it all to work.

I'm just content hitting 2 of the opts about 90% of the time  Tongue

HIya

thanks for the response... I did try copying the script you posted earlier but not having had any experience of using Autohotkey it failed miserably so I'm not sure what I did wrong  Sad  I tried the record facility in AutoHotkey but when I played it back it looked like my character was having some kind of fit and just sort of stood there spinning, turning and jumping about Cheesy

Any suggestions? and thanks in advance... Smiley

my suggestion would be to be as little vague as possible, "failed miserably" summarizes a little too much what your problem is

Sorry, I should have been more specific...  I copied the script as posted, created a autohotkey file with it.. when I double click on the script an error message pops up immediately with "Error at line 1, Line Text global playerx, Error: This line does not contain a recognised action... The Program will now exit"

Either the code is contained in another function, or you have to move the global declarations to the function(s) in which the respective variable is used. You'll also need to take screenshots of the images that are in the first few lines, so that the script can find them. Given that you're probably not going to run this in a virtual box and will be panicking as it runs out of control in an infinite loop, you should add this somewhere:

Code
Select All
~$ESC::
  Send {w up}
  Send {a up}
  Send {d up}
  Send {s up}
  ExitApp
return 



That will make it so that pressing Esc will cancel any movements in progress and exit the program.


Edit/aside:

Interesting to see someone else's script and compare methods. I always use Loop x instead of mimicking a traditional while loop. I don't use image captures at the moment, but my script has variables that can be set to adjust the run speed in each running/jumping function. I've only tested on one character, but assuming below 500ms latency, I trigger all 4 optionals 90% of the time. the other 10%, I only get the first Daggertooth and Vrall. The trick is to utilize corners. Your rotation shouldn't vary too much, but the distance you run can.

This is an accurate representation of what happens when you give someone an infinite loop macro without a failsafe.

I've been trying to play with this, as well as recording my own and such, and just can't get things to work. I removed the global entries and got further, but then it doesn't like the loop...until.

Trying to record and edit instead I'm finding that it'll do everything I need it to except actually move. I wonder if I need to send WASD keys down and up for a portion of time instead of how it records it by default.

If anyone would like to help teach me to fish I'd be happy to accept any code bits or an example I can edit.

Code
Select All
Send {w down}
Sleep 2000
Send {w up} 


That will run forward for 2 seconds.
The same can be applied to rotating.

I can't talk it all to the whole piece about causing a macro to fail or not. The one I have from a friend uses images to work, and it has a moderate fail rate. Either way, the important part is that each wife, when you reach epic, you have to run the quest optional's down to -80%, and then let it sit for 18 hours. After that the optional's will give you full XP again.

Oops..... Wasn't supposed to tell anyone about the training program. Well now the cat's out of the bag, I'll just say this: My program is worth a LOT more than Ollie's character leveling program, best package or not. If you buy..... an.... "experience source".... from me, you'll feel like yours is the best package, guaranteed!  Roll Eyes

Make sure they have the quest and don't red box it seems to help.


The prblem is you need to have run and COMPLETED it on Epic difficulty to no-sack optionals. Much lik eyou need a heroic for no-sack heroic optis...

this is the macro I use with autohotkey

I use it inside a virtual box, so I can do other things on computer while macro runs


I despise seeing my macro in public, even with the slight variances to it. oh well, i have a faster one written already with the help of Fr8o finding a few, key aspects. thanks go to him for pointing them out ^-^

Well, it didn't work at all for me, so it might be out there but not usable by all without modifications.

And thanks dickbutt, I can get to the point where I can move and make selections, but didn't finish the whole thing. I can go from exit to entry and recall though, just need to talk to the people now.
