We all know the bot is still in alpha and therefore is full of bugs.
However, ill tell you about the solutions i found to overcome much of them.
Problem 1: If the enemy is out of range the bot wont move after entering and area.
Solution: made a script which make the mouse click the top left of the area to get the bot going; Right now I only play on the first map of act 3 and the monsters are always north west of the waypoint, so this only works for that map. For other maps I would make it click elsewhere.
Problem 2: Some enemies were not accessible.
Solution: I played as a maurader and I just used ground slam as my only skill, no more getting stuck of cliffs and fences. LOS problems still occur.
Problem 3: Character was dieing
Solution: As you are working on fixing the chicken part of your bot, I just use another bot that only deals with logging out at a certain health.
Problem 4: Looting, my bags are getting full, FAST.
Solution: Running the bot for a night made me realize that Im not gona get all the loot anyway. So instead, I separated out all the orbs and rings in my bag into a checker board pattern, that way if more orbs drop there will always be room.
Problem 5: Bot gets extremely buggy after a log out cycle; will go to waypoint but not click on any points.
Solution: This is the most interesting and longest one I had to deal with. So my experience with the bot is that the first time its runs its smooth, works as intended. But everything just goes to shit if it has to log out.
The only solution I had to this was resetting the bot. I start the routine with script 1, which checks, every 10 seconds, if POE is running, if POE not running then the script closes all other windows and then opens script2 which opens the chicken bot, the exiled bot, and POE . And the cycle just keeps on going.
Finally, I made a modification to the coordinates for mouse clicks. Basically, whenever the bot goes to log out in the case of a death(which I don't die cause of chicken bot), or because a monster hasn't been killed in 45 sec, It clicks 'exit game' button instead. And remember, when POE exits, all the other bots do to because of script1 and everything reopens again.
Thats all, bot works like a charm for me now. Thanks again for sharing your work, I can post my scripts up if you guys want.
