JavaScript Lazy Professions

[Svennen]

Absolutely, whenever a slot opens up -- if anything in 'alchemy1' can run it will, otherwise it moves on to 'alchemy2' and then if nothing there can run it will move on to 'alchemy3'.

I have noticed a minor bug in that it resets to 'alchemy1' when it collects a task result, so it could be working on a open slot, say trying 'alchemy2' and then may find that an earlier slot is ready for collection - it will collect (resting the value) and then start on 'alchemy1' on the newly opened slot and then move back to the original slot without resetting back to 'alchemy1'. I'm sure resetting the value to 0 could be relocated to address that, but I don't see it happen that often.

Well it's just that what it looks like to me is that sure it will cycle through your Alchemy1-3, but when you set the to_do value like that what it does is it will choose the task on position cjob from the current working array. So I just can't see it working.
Doesn't it work just adding several instances of alchemy?

Basically, this allows multiple collections of tasks to be defined for a single profession. Without adding the cjob variable, I could have defined multiple alchemy task sets and then included them in the to_do list one or more times each to indicate the probability or ratio that I'd like each one to run. However, by ordering the list and removing the random factor, I am checking the task sets (i.e., alchemy1-3) in order and then am choosing the first match in the given task set. I can also alter the selections somewhat by configuring the browser settings to sort by highest or lowest first and also by ordering the to_do and individual task lists. Unlike the original, I am controlling (to a much greater degree) specifically which tasks will run, except that I unfortunately haven't yet figured out a solution where multiple tasks have the same requirements - that might be better served with some randomness.

One benefit I'm getting with this is I don't get any rogue 'Mass' extractions, etc. because I've set my values to gobble up the necessary resources as fast as they are available.

I just doesn't see how your code makes it run first Alchemy1 then Alchemy2 etc. I have to say this entire script is above my level, but I don't see how you make your tweaks really work.

I just doesn't see how your code makes it run first Alchemy1 then Alchemy2 etc. I have to say this entire script is above my level, but I don't see how you make your tweaks really work.

The original script includes a to_do array (e.g., leadership, leatherworking, etc.). For each element in that array it assigns a list of possible tasks. Also, for each element in the to_do aray, the script defines the selector in the gateway so when that element is chosen, the script can select the applicable profession page from which to find and select tasks.

The original script uses a random number generator to decide which element of the to_do array (e.g., leadership, leatherworking, etc.) to attempt. If a task in the applicable gateway list matches something in the associated task list, it will be selected and started. If not, it will go back and randomly select another element from the to_do array.

I have simply altered the to_do selection process to, after collecting a result, always start with the first element in the to_do array. If that fails, it increments and tries the next and so on. This allows for clear prioritization/ordering as opposed to duplicating some elements to affect the probably distribution of tasks.

It turns out that the symbols in the to_do array are not magic (i.e., they don't have to match the names of professions in the gateway), as they are just locally used symbols you can make up whatever you want and define associated task lists -- so long as the tasks in the task list match the profession also associated with tat symbol in the selector definitions. If you don't do that, then nothing will ever match and no tasks will start.

Note that random assignments can be useful where the requirements for given desired tasks are the same or similar. It would also be cool to figure out how to enable & disable some of the tasks (or groups tasks) when other tasks (or one from a group of tasks) get started or better yet to count the activation of certain tasks in order to contribute to selecting other tasks, but alas as I indicated in the beginning I'm no java script programmer.

I figured the assigning of to_do was to specify which of the items in the list to do, not what page to go to. Where does it pick which item in a list will be attempted? ie where does it pick wther to gather or forge?

It tries the tasks in the selected task list in turn:

for(var i=0; i<job_list.length; i++) {

var title = job_list[i];
if(job.find(':contains(' + title + ')').length) {
return true;
}

[CowGrinder]

Find:
if(job.find(':contains(' + title + ')').length) {

Change To:
if(job.find((' + title + ').length) {

I am no java script person but afaik that should make task name have to be EXACTLY correct

try changing it to

if((job.find(':contains(' + title + ')').length) && !(job.find(':contains(Mass)').length)) {

Not exactly elegant, but gets the job done.

Updated to add Alchemy & stop replacing the preselected best assets

hmmm now mine just say

Todo: profession

but never start doing it.

Okay, Just came across this and nvr used em before soz. Stupid questions incoming XD

1. How do you get it to go with FF?
2. I have loaded it into chrome but it just flips between each of the 3 professions and doesn't start anything, I just copy/pasted from the link in the OP is this right?
3. if I leave this logged in on chrome will it just keep going as logged in? or will it diconnect after a period of time, i.e. can I leave it run all night/day

and lastly 4. Can u be banned for using this? Its just through the website I know, but can they get ya for being logged in for ages on the website?


[EDIT] nvrmind, I had already one started in slot 5 I cancelled that one and now it has started them all. Still need an answer on the others tho thx

1. Let me google that for you or read this thread
3. Read this thread
4. Using any third party tools is forbidden and therefore can get you banned

[Ayli]

Ok thanks for that hmmm might open a craft account then and do it that way, then I wont get my mains account snagged XD

Not recommended to use FF as its low efficiency. If u insist, you could just create an greasemonkey script and paste the code in. It will work with some minor modification.
I would suggest to use 32 bit Opera....with an addon called Scripter~

[Gawc]

somehow it will not to the task "Gather High quality Iron Ore" it can forge the steel plates all right, but out of those ores, it just sit in the platesmithing looks around and try again, untill it try another proffession.
No idea how to track down where the problem might be :/


platesmithing: ['Forge Steel Plates', 'Gather High quality Iron Ore'],

[Verdiarc]

My main prob is after running the script in console, how could I get it to stop and how can I edit some lines, if I wanted to after i've run the script?
