BK Ghom Bot (fully customize-able skills)

[nonameowns]

I did the PNG test and it detected all beside select hero. I fix the problem by having a bigger cutout with red around the text and it works. I took screenshot of winxp and compare with host, no colors difference. just weird detection issue for select hero. here's the png u requested I watch it runs for a while and I noticed it have spotty detection for quest selection so I made bigger cutouts for dark and light version. since performance is slow, it will fail to notice inventory is full due to slow loading items so I gonna increase the timer for that.

performance is much better with winxp than 8.1. the difference is that in 8.1, there is steady fps then slow then fast stuttering then steady again. it repeats every 5 secs. in xp, it's steady all the way. why? no idea. vmware setup is full allocated hard drive with hardware graphics in display option. Any modern intel cpu will run fine with the integrated graphics. I use i7 for vmware.

It will be nice if you could somehow make the script to be resolution independence (what is the best way to do this anyway? use 1080p # as base and use multiplicative reduction based on resolution differences?). Heck if you don't wanna do it, I'll be grumpy and reduce the position to 720p by hand for performance reason. 0.66666666666666666666666666666667 for 1080p to 720p W and H.

Honestly, I really do wanna make this work on resolution other than 1920x1080. At such resolution, speed crawls a bit. But I have no resources (no other computer) to compare notes on the fly.

I tried setting my display resolution to 1600x900 (as a test) but the pixels suck!

Doing a simple ratio may work, but requires adjusting the pixel locations nonetheless. ie, will a pixel at 900x600 colored 0x112233 on a 1920x1080 resolution be of the same color on a 1600x900 resolution or scaled location even?

I really do feel your pain. Maybe the resolution is the reason why we could not get good result with vmware.

as for increasing the PNG images, it is not a good idea.
best is to keep it smaller, or increase the tolerance in the ImageSearchArea parameter, example:
_ImageSearchArea("PNG\SelectHero.png", 1,780,900,1120,960,$x,$y,16)
Increasing that 16 to 32 or 64 would give better match.
However, DO NOT use 128. Because doing so might match ANYTHING!

[nonameowns]

I can help you out with that, just tell me what to do and I'll gather the data. I get 10-15 more fps at 720p but any lower doesn't made any difference

Why exactly increasing the image size is not a good idea? increased processing cost/time?

[burgaud]

Not only will it increase processing cost, more pixels to compare means more chances of getting it wrong which is what you are getting.

ie: Why is it matching correctly and at times not?
Answer: because the rendering by the VM is not as good as it should be

That search area is composed of the text "Select Hero" and if you zoom in on the snapshot you posted, it is very pixelated compared to that rendered by non-VM screen. IMO, that area is not he best choice for doing the Search.

Perhaps, just disable doing a Hero select?
Or redo the code to simply BLINDLY wait click wait click wait click for this particular portion.

gotcha.

hm disabling hero select will be the easiest since I only run 1 character.

doing ghom runs 24/7 is my last drops of interest in this stupid casual daddies friendly rng squared **** luck game. and here to hoping PTR will make it worthwhile. dat tiered rifts.

Is there vmware friendly script changes possible? thanks!

I've been using it out of the box so to speak in VMWare with very minimal hassle (I had to change the Ghom portal click location ever so slightly).

Make sure your VM is maximized.

What VM are you using?
VMWare workstation?
VirtualBox?

When i run this it has problem finding the quest. it login, then select my char and then click game settings, selects the breached keep but does not select kill Ghom quest.

Workstation 8

Another small change I made which I forgot about was I increased the amount of time the inventory is open at the start of each game from 500 to 3500 because of some display lag which always shows an empty inventory for me for a couple secs.

[burgaud]

When i run this it has problem finding the quest. it login, then select my char and then click game settings, selects the breached keep but does not select kill Ghom quest.

When you say, "selects the breached keep" it was able to find that Quest Tab?
But is not clicking on the subquest "Kill Ghom"? Is this the problem you have?
Or is the subquest "Kill Ghom" visible/clickable or not?

How many quests do you have after "The Breached Keep"?
Though BKBOT does not require "all quests" on you quest list, one requirement is to have at least 2 more quests after "The Breached Keep".
Reason: If you do not have 2 more quests, "Kill Ghom Quest" will not be visible.

If these are not the solutions: Please post a snapshot of where it is stuck not clicking on subquest "Kill Ghom". please post exactly where it is.
I suspect "Kill Ghom" button not visible. Then again, maybe something else.

BTW. BKBOT does not scan for the text "Kill Ghom" with any image; it simply scan for "The Breached Keep", click on it (if not highlighted) then click 2 bars below. I wonder also if you got 2 subquests inside "The Breached Keep"?

This is what i see when i select the quest http://i62.tinypic.com/1zoxn4o.jpg

You need to add 2 more quests after "The Breached Keep" as explained in my last post:

Reason: If you do not have 2 more quests, "Kill Ghom Quest" will not be visible.

Even though you do have the subquest "Kill Ghom" visible in that screenshot, assume it was able to do that quests, kill ghom exit, select quest, thereafter it will fail to see "Kill Ghom" subquest because it will be hidden below.
Just add two more below


You should also do this hotfixes for that problem

if _ImageSearchArea("PNG\GhomQuestDark.png", 1,725,400,1160,600,$x,$y,32) then

elseif _ImageSearchArea("PNG\GhomQuestLight.png", 1,725,400,1160,600,$x,$y,32) then

It will scan a larger portion of the Quest List. And in your case, "The Breached Keep" is at the bottom of the list and the original codes do not scan as low as that (bug)

Let us know if this solves the problem, or not.

Yes working great now thanks.

Hello.
First of all, thanks a lot for making such a great bot.

The bot was working flawlessly since I started using it a week ago.
However, today, I noticed that it wasnt detecting Ghom's position. Therefore, it was just using the primary skill to an empty space.

When i checked the log file, I could see the phrase Where is Ghom?

I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at the problem.
The weirdest part is that it was working just fine. I did not chance any setting on my computer and on diablo .

here is the last part of my log file

The reason why i can kill Ghom even if i am not attacking it is because i am using it with a summoning witch doctor.
