APB Ultimate

[BaseN]

I have seen "disconnected from the gateway" messages periodically in the past with APBI so I'm guessing then that it was b. Next time I see it, I will try manually enter in the login information and clicking on the buttons on the browser session. I'm guessing it should work if the issue you listed above is what is causing it to fail to log back in for option b.

Yes, sometimes APBI will say that. Other times it just gets stuck on retrying because of the way it's doing that step does not force load the url but uses javascript and the script does absolutely nothing so it gets stuck without knowing the session is dropped (I have APBI decompiled so this is exactly why. I was looking at it before I start on APBU as my initial idea was to continue APBI before I decided that it's not worth trying to troubleshoot GeckoFX).

Notice that manual logging in will not work either if the main thread is stuck on a loop (remember when I told you yesterday that QtWebkit does everything on the main/UI thread)

Edit: Actually there's a chance that it may try to login but fail to do anything, depending on where exactly is the main thread stuck.

I just had this happen again after the gateway went back up on 3 out of the 4. Autologin, start, stop would give a timeout message. Manually entering the login information and clicking on things worked and I was able to change characters, collect rewards and set up tasks. I'm guessing this would indicate something along the lines of what you were saying was a possible issue with option b.

[BaseN]

Yeah did you save the log when this happened? Need to see where it's not handled properly.

Btw this issue with gateway dropping the session, does not only happen with the gateway it's something with the login server on their side as it happens in the game as well. If you have many characters on one account and doing quick praying switching to next character to pray then change character, pray etc etc. You will see that sometimes instead of getting to the change character screen you will get logged out/session dropped. The gateway and the game use the same login system. When you put in your account details at the launcher is actually an internet explorer control that uses cookies etc. It is quite possible that this is happening when the login server is hammered.

I have see that there is a roll dice for free reward in sword coast adventure,
Could you roll the dice automatically ?

This explains a lot to me, actually with the various incarnations of APBI. I would always go to sleep and wake up, finding that I had either a) hit a javascript error, which caused the bot to lock up, b) hit a timeout error, 'cos it wasn't releasing the jobs properly or c) both. I stopped using APBI and went back to APB, sacrificing my extra workers, 'cos it was, at least somewhat stable. APBI wasn't, at all, for me. Some people get great results with it, but I haven't. Another thing I noticed it doing, which APBU doesn't is hanging on jobs, 'cos they're not released.

For example: I have 3 slots running destroy enemy camp and they complete. The first one collects fine, without problems and starts again, the seconds one collects fine, but won't start again, constantly failing to start the job again. It wouldn't start again, until I manually collected the 3rd slot, at which point the second one would start and then the 3rd one may or may not, depending on the gateway. Doesn't matter what job I'd do, it would always seem to do this, especially if I went to sleep. Granted, I *DO* have Comcrap, as an ISP and they have the WORST internet I've ever had, but it's now all we can get in the area, thanks to deregulation, but I can't see the bot running fine, during the day, but as soon as I go to sleep, APBI times out an hour or two after I crash out and fails the rest of the night.

I kinda laugh when people say they have to babysit APBU, 'cos it's the only instance I'm running that I DON'T have to babysit. It's never crashed on me, at all. Sure it's taken a dump when I'm screwing around with it, while it's running or the Gateway takes a dump, but I've never once seen it crash on it's own, except during early alpha. :/ Tis why I'm hoping for additional workers so, as I don't want to use APBI anymore.

Good to know this one.

When APBU is ready for use I can stop using script what start/stop/restart whole ProfessionBot "army", also what BaseN wrote up there explains why I got no problems with APBI (because script dont start/stop only Bot it ReStart whole process).

Have you done good Profile for Alchemy, it seems to take 2 - 3x longer to level up 20. Alchemy assets are just now really cheap so getting full set Purple tools (4x) and Grandmaster(4x) make easy to try Rank3 slot open, but that leveling Profile is essential for easy use.

[BaseN]

0.3.4b:
--Added additional and more descriptive logging messages at a specific point.
--Additional handling of gateway being funky.

To further elaborate: Added more descriptive messages at the point that alklas is reporting of failing. Also changed that part so that it will more aggressively try to force the page to load, if it can't it will trigger the "loggedoff" condition and force relogging at that point if it's enabled. Otherwise it will stop clearly saying that the gateway is not responding to it no matter what.

Edit: Now I can go play some call to arms eh?

WEAPONSMITHING IS NOT FINISHED! There is a lot missing but they are all rare tasks. It looks like whoever originally made the datafiles never finished Weaponsmithing. I'll add them in at some future date but I don't think anybody is going to miss some high level rare tasks.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER APPLIES: These are all correct assuming I didn't make any typos.

Thanks a lot mate!
Both you and Methuselas are going into the credits in the About box when I get to make it (Along with any donators!)

I've taken the lists from APBI and converted them to XML format for APBU. Weaponsmithing is rather new they probably never got to finish it. I was planning to go through all of them and check them myself when I had finished with all major features so you guys are saving me huge time right there that I can spend on actually adding the rest of the features!

Thanks again!

It's the least I can do considering that I'm going to use he hell out of APBU. Even if you left it how it is now, I think it's better than APBI by a long shot. APBI screwed me bad.

I watched it at the login screen and it looked like it was just refreshing the page, so I typed in my login info and it went immediately. Seems like APBU wasn't actually trying to log me in even though I have the auto-login box checked. Also, I have the time out counter set to 5 but it looks like it timed out 10 times trying to start the same task.

Edit again: I finally stopped the bot and logged into the Gateway through my browser. It wasn't able to start a new task because all slots were full and waiting to be collected. For some reason APBU didn't catch that.

[BaseN]

Something is wrong there hold on. Maybe I broke something with the latest changes with a typo. I'll check and brb.

This is 0.3.4b right?

Edit: Gah, I'm tired. Now I read your post right. It was at the login screen right? Ok so this a log from case B that we were talking about and it didn't detect gateway dropping session. Right?

Edit2: Ok found it. I was not handling dropped session in the function that checks the slot. Fixed and uploading. Also edited the messages for dropped session detection to clearly state it is so in the log.

[BaseN]

0.3.5b:
--Fixed an issue with not handling gateway dropping session in a specific function.
--Some logging messages are now better.
--Added missing recipes. Only a few rares in Weaponsmithing missing now! (Thanks Darxide23!)

[pkarlos]

I was deleting tasks from my 8th box when setting up professions for my first character and as soon as I clicked remove and then a 2nd time it crashed the program and stopped working. This is reproducible every time for me, and this is the latest version 0.3.5b.

Running Windows 7 Home Premium with AMD 7570 GFX CARD 1 GB and 8 GB Ram.

[Methuselas]

God I hate using APBI.......... Disconnected and never relogged in on one of two instances.......

[Methuselas]

Good to know this one.

When APBU is ready for use I can stop using script what start/stop/restart whole ProfessionBot "army", also what BaseN wrote up there explains why I got no problems with APBI (because script dont start/stop only Bot it ReStart whole process).

There's really no way to speed up alchemy right now, using any bot, unless you have stacks of all the potions ready to go. You could set it to where it will cycle through each task starting from 20 and moving it's way down to 1, putting any potions you need made in between, but you run into problems 'cos since APBU only uses one worker asset and since both APBU and APBI don't use tools, you can't setup rare potion tasks, meaning you'll waste a ton of resources. It's not cost effective, at all.

[EDIT] - When I mean you can't use tools, I mean you can't setup additional ones to shoot for 8 or 10 pots. Just going for 6 is nearly as wasteful as doing them individually.
