PoeHUD Plugin: Follower

**qLofik** · 11-19-2020

Hello, thank you for this great plugin. It works good when I use file protocol; but when I try to use network mode I face some issues.
Of course I've read "Troubleshoot 4" and did everything following your tutorial. For example:
- fw off, win defender off, also I created rule for 4412 port, Core added to allowed list.
- clear quetete exileapi fork

I get this response:

curl http://localhost:4412

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Service Unavailable</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
</HEAD>
<BODY><h2>Service Unavailable</h2>
<hr><p>HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.</p>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Obviously, that's not what should be there

Also when I do "Restart Server", I get this log:

Code:

[INF] Server.RestartServer() is called
[INF] Server.KillServer() is called, killing the server
[INF] Server has been recreated
[INF] Server.StartServer() is called
[ERR] FollowerV2: Exception! 
Message: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request

   in FollowerV2.ServerCommandProtocol.Work(NetworkActivityObject obj)
   in FollowerV2.Follower.MainCommandProtocolWork()
[INF] Server.Work called
[INF] Server._serverIsListening is false, starting server listening

I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance!

what builds are you guys using? i tried to pair an aurabot with my ball lightning main char but i need to invest so much currency for the build being useful.
any 2 player build combo that is nice and can handle the low fps on the follower?
i was thinking about a minion build for the follower since they can attack independently from lag and i can remove them with visualggpk2 so the lag caused by minions is not a problem

u ll need poenuller private to use follower on vmware. With that it can run on 2 threads, 1 GB RAM. GPU doesnt matter since 1 machine takes 10% from RX480

I will update the documentation on Github.

Yes, sorry. Ran into the same issue. v1.3.1 ( Releases . 13413j1j13j5315n13/FollowerV2 . GitHub ) should fix the issue and it has been working fine for me. You can check if you have some time.

If you want to run POE in virtual machines then you create one virtual machine per instance. I usually create a "master" virtual machine and configure everything properly inside it and then I make few linked clones from the master virtual machine. The game folder is linked as a shared folder so that I don't have multiple copies of the game in each virtual machine, this saved storage. E.g.

master_Win10_x64
poe1_clone_master_Win10_x64
poe2_clone_master_Win10_x64

This plugin takes control of inputs so that's the reason why you need virtual machines if you want to run more than one client. I run 2 clients in VMs and one natively. 10 FPS max, 800x600 resolution, "remove all" poeNullEffect. And still my Razer Blade 2015 can heat my whole apartment

I use Vmware Workstation 16 on host and Win10 x64 with strict OOSU10 ( O&O ShutUp10 -Free antispy tool for Windows 10 ) + strict Privatezilla ( GitHub - builtbybel/privatezilla: 👀👮🐢🔥Performs a privacy & security check of Windows 10 ) on clients.

i am really struggling to get this to work at all in my VM's.
i can not get POEHUD to open.. do i double click "Loader.exe" found in the POEHelper folder ?
if so, when i do this, i get a big error --> ti view the error, please copy this link into your internet browser Screenshot by Lightshot
i have been trying to get this to work for approx 3-4 hours with no luck at all..

EDIT:
we have managed to get it all working - please disregard above

**IShaunYI** · 11-27-2020

i would love it if anyone can point me in the right direction..

i would like to make some summoners as followers and have them follow the leader while casting skills if enemies are visible
something like Summon Raging Spirits or something along those lines to "assist" with killing mobs while following.

is something like this available ?
ive had a bit of a look with no such luck

Where i can change vm ip? (im used NAT when i make vm)
Also (i know this question can be asked in another thread, but maybee you know), if i off vm sound adapter (im trying to reduce cpu load), poehud doesnt start - any way fix this? any other ways to reduce cpu load?

1) You BUY vpn. Torguard (2.5/m) or nordvpn. Can use 5+ machines with 1 vpn sub

2) Only way to reduce vmware load is to buy smoother (50/3m) or nuller (12/m)

No, use 1-2 aura stackers golems and rest can be regular lelemntalists

**IShaunYI** · 11-30-2020

This works amazingly - TYVM
ive even set up inside advanced follower settings for the followers to use movement skills and also attack monsters within a certain radius. working very well.

prolly wasnt the best names to choose.

I think it doesn't depend on names or IPs. At least that much. I don't have xxx1 xxx2 pattern but quite close. Think of "tototo1" "dototo1" "mototo1" etc. None of my 10 accounts has been banned yet.

That is Server/Client communication for.

- make binds for teleport to player (blue swirl), zone entrance, and quest items etc

good work tho

Picking maps makes sense to implement. Usually I just hover over the map and control to pick the item. Map is available only for one character so if I recall correctly only it will run and pick it up.
Blue swirls functionality has been requested quite often. I will try to see later on. I've not been playing for... weeks and weeks.

Congrats on level 100! Glad to hear this follower is useful for someone.

The biggest issue is concurrency. What I've noticed:
- Character 1 hovers over the portal and starts running.
- Character 2 hovers over the portal.
- Character 1 runs to the portal starts the loading.
- Character 2 now does not hover over the portal itself but over Character 1.
- Character 2 clicks on Character 1.

I think there is no easy solution, just hover over the portal and click to use that item again. Characters which are already in the different location will do nothing and the characters in the current location will again hover and click on the portal.

is it possible to add the function "click on swirly circle on party leader portrait to teleport to him" ?
a option to prioritize "follow leader" over "attack monster" when a follower is on aggro. i have the issue the my aura bot is casting curses on a single mob i skipped somewhere behind

Yes, that's a good point. There is an enhancement issue on Github to implement logic like summons have - attack only if leader is nearby, follow if leader is farer than a treshold.

Check your hostname and port. Additionally check whether you've run "netsh" command properly. If there is a still issue please either use "File" protocol or Troubleshoot ---> Point 4.

I guess any build that does not need a lot of interactions and clicking will be the best. "Summon-and-forget" summoners are, of course, the best.
I really did not have any currency, even though I was playing 5-6 parties. The main reason is that I wanted to try different build together using this Follower. Totally I think I found something like 2-3 exalts and wasted a lot of money on different builds. What I've noticed is that an aurabot is really mandatory. With crappy gear a curse bot was no-brainer. For MFing I used some ranger build with nice Google Sheet guide, it can be found on PathOfExile forums. I noticed so many times that killing an yellow monster in 5-6 party was barely possible with the ranger but once the curse bot comes closer everything dies within a second.
My party was: MF ranger, aurabot, curse bot, rest are summoners. If I will be playing the next league I will definitely build the same party but instead of the MF ranger I would go with something like Magic Find Build Guide - Ghazzy Style | Path of Exile - YouTube

I'm not sure whether you need to change the IP, even though it's beneficial of course. For changing IPs I've used "Proxifier" to proxify all programs.
Even though this is not for PathOfExile you can check Macro Laboratory | Proxying Right? - Macrolab Forums | EVE Pilot - Mining, Hunting, Trade Bot for EVE Online and VMWare Setup pages related to configuring your VMs. The second page has info about the Proxifier.

Edit TCP / IPv4 for VM

**WSSANON** · 12-02-2020

So I've read through this thread and don't see mention of the "File" follower mode. I would like to use this as I'm using a single local VM.

Is this working properly? I've set it up per instructions and the file it is writing shows..

{"FollowersShouldWork":true,"LeaderName":"CharNameGoesHere123","LeaderProximityR adius":20,"MinimumFpsThreshold":5,"FollowerCommandSettings":{"FollowerCommandsDa taSet":[]}}

Is this all that should be showing up in the file?

Leader: Propogate Working: True

Follower: "Follower Working: False" - Even after "Start Requesting" is checked.

I'm not sure if maybe the file thats being created isnt working properly or if the VM isnt reading the file -- I've set up a network drive and can open that file from Run: ..path/file.txt, identical to the setup on the Leader

Any ideas?

Edit: I kind of see what is happening, I'm not able to write to the network drive text file from ExileAPI for some reason but i AM able to read/write manually, so I'm pretty sure it is also not being read when swapping the roles of PC/VM file which is shared.

Still working on it

Edit2: Ok got it working now after re-doing some shared folders.

**WSSANON** · 12-03-2020

Is this still working for everyone? After GGG's update and updating ExileAPI this morning my follower shows he is working when i toggle it on the leader but the follower will not move. Worked for me yesterday.

Follower is just a plugin for PoeHUD. If PoeHUD is broken the plugin will be as well. Once PoeHUD has been fixed I believe this plugin will start working as well.

**WSSANON** · 12-04-2020

PoeHUD was updated yesterday and seems to work for me. The follower can use pickit for items on the floor so I know it is able to click on screen. Still after multiple attempts I cannot get the follower to move when he is "working."

I'm using the File method which did work.

Can anyone confirm this is working for them today? Was hoping to run this in Mayhem today

EDIT: Ok reinstalling everything fresh (second time) seems to have worked! Lets go
