(free)FollowBot for DPB

[elvese]

Would be cool if we could select "loot only quest items" since using this as a running aurabot cause lots of issues when character trying to pick up something.right now there is only option to pick up visible items, so it trying to pick lots of stuff even im on uber strict filter especially during leveling.

You can use filterblade or manually edit the filter to show only quest items. That's what I do .

DPB was updated in just 24h as of Sentinel League, i usually do all i can to update it as fast as possible, as some people live from this.

FollowBot v4.5
- Fixed a bug in LevelGemTask that was preventing the gems to be leveled if the debugStatement option was disabled.
- Reworked the FollowTask a little, the follower should be more reactive to Leaded movements.
- Added items without a visible label to ignore list while looting.
- Added an option to use the Stalker Sentinel as soon as we enter a new map.
- Added Cooldown option for Flasks. The flask will cooldown for a number of milliseconds equal to the configured Cooldown, even if the triggers are validated, after each use.

Make sure you use the last DreamPoeBot release (3.18.6 when this post was made)

Some suggestion to those that experience shuttering move:
Make sure your default move skill is not slotted in a mouse button, i usually sugest to slot it in q,w,e,r OR t, and be sure its slotted only in 1 slot (you do not have multiple copy of this skill in your skill bar)

Also make sure you use a ingame filter that filter out all the unwanted items, this will make the game run faster and smoother.
Its also really important that you configure the game to use a key to pickup items (example the F key).
And last, i would advice you to always run the game in Lockstep configuration when possible, Predictive mode will create alot of desync problems.

This script is not playable at all, tested this really deeply and there are minor things that just makes it more annoying than helpfull-
Once person bot follows die, its automatically change zone which result wasted +1 portal instead run in safe place and pause bot, there should be option in menu on what to do on either party owned die or follower.
Doing delve is again painfull and more annoying than helpfull heres why, pretty much every single completed zone it clkick on cart and stuck on delve map, script cant close map itself.
Make option to keep distance from strongboxes, its so easy to open and just dash out, which result very ofen to follower rush on strongbox and get stuck/kill on explosion.
Script stuck itself on death, trying to clicking to change zone which is unable untill you click to respawn.
Basically this is most common thing to happend on death, either trying to recast auras or change zones during on death screen and bot get stuck, you cant even stop bot because mouse is controlled by script.

Hi i see your point, and i'm willing to fix it, but its not easy to find a logic that will suit all the situations.

One solution might be adding a option, so that the follower do not leave the zone in case the zone is a map, and then, add some short of chat watcher to the follower and let him respond to some chat commands, like for example, if you send a specific message to the group chat (let say `t` for teleport) the follower will try to teleport to your location or `s` (for Stop) the follower will stop following you.

But `instead run in safe place and pause bot` man, what killed your main will surely chase you and kill your follower too, how is it supposed to find a safe spot? you main shouldn't die, you will need to make your build better.

Pls let me know what you think will make it any better, or if you have some ideas of a more general logic for it to work better (pls consider all the situations, this cant be map specific or quest specific, it has to work in all conditions)
explain it briefly here and ill try to implement it.

About the follower not resurrecting, this is strange, ill try to take a look and see if it really bug that bad, but i'm under the impression that you are using the wrong DPB version (Always remember to update with the last release, i always post it and tag everyone in the Discord channel, so nobody miss it.)

And last, ill add the Delve map ui to the CloseBlockingWindows function, that should ensure he keep the map closed.

Best regards.

Thid actually sounds fair but with statement that whatever killed main would kill follower is not always true, i play main as an bow glasscannon, sometimes happens to die due to some big hit and follower as aurabot usually stays back and if you manage to add argument like if leader died run to nearest place with no monsters, its usually just 15 meters from where you were just few seconds ago, but no always i get this point so its might be difficult to implement... anyways idea with stopping leaving maps would be nice, sometimes it actually might save few portals.
Another thing i noticed when you enter depths, follower always teleport to leader which end up teleporting to hideout, not delve so its another portal lost, i think follower doesnt detect depths entrance so i have always had to pause bot and enter manually, then run to make it work so this is another thing i noticed. I really like idea with chat commands to set when follower will change zone, looking forward for upcomming releases

Or something like "abort trying to teleport to leader location if action failed [set number] times" in settings

FollowBot v 4.9

Changelog:
- Added New feature, Chat commands. The Follower will react to some specific game chat commands, when they are seen in Whisper of Group chat (this way you can send commands to all your followers or to a specific one.)
The Chat commands are configurable and it is highly advised that you configure your custom commands so that GGG cant start to think that tracking some words can lead to mass ban.

This is the list and explanation of the chat commands:

• Teleport to Leader: The follower will react to this message (if the message come from the party leader in whisper or group chat) by trying to teleport to the leader zone.
• Follow: [On/Off] The follower will react to this message (if the message come from the party leader in whisper or group chat) by turning on or off the follow feature.
• Loot: [On/Off] The follower will react to this message (if the message come from the party leader in whisper or group chat) by turning on or off the loot feature.
• Attack: [On/Off] The follower will react to this message (if the message come from the party leader in whisper or group chat) by turning on or off the fight feature.
• Sentinel: [On/Off] The follower will react to this message (if the message come from the party leader in whisper or group chat) by turning on or off the Sentinel feature.
• Auto Teleport: [On/Off] The follower will react to this message (if the message come from the party leader in whisper or group chat) by turning on or off the Auto teleport out feature only in Map or Simulacrum.

- Added an option to Never leave a Map or Simulacrum [Don't Port Out of Map], this will avoid the problem of porting out when leader die and waste portals. you will need to use chat command to force the follower to teleport out, or to re-enable the port out function.

- Added an Overlay to Followbot. the Overlay is there mainly to directly visualize on the game screen the actual state of Followbot options, like Loot, Fight, Follow etc etc and easily manage it (using chat commands).

This is the list of features for the Overlay:

• Enable Overlay: Enable and disable the Overlay drawing.
• DrawInBackground: If enabled, the Overlay is draw even when the game is not the top most foreground window.
• Draw Mobs: Draw the mobs around you. i suggest to keep this disable as it will increase the cpu usage and is mostly useless on followers.
• Draw Corpses: Draw the Corpses around you. i suggest to keep this disable as it will increase the cpu usage and is mostly useless on followers.
• Overlay Fps: Change the Overlay draw frequency, higher number, higher fps and higher resource consumption, 30 Fps or so is enough.
• Overlay X Position: Change the Overlay draw X position.
• Overlay Y Position: Change the Overlay draw Y position.
• Overlay Transparency: Change the Overlay background transparency.

- Fixed a bug that was making the follower casting Auras upon death, before to take the resurrection.
- Added Heist postal to the list of checked portal the follower will take to follow the leader, this will allow you to run heist without the need to stop the follower and manually enter heist.
- Many small bug fix and stability improvements.
- Fixed a bug in Heist portal Targeting.

Important Notice!!
Starting with v4.8, the Zip file structure change, b/c the Overlay require 2 Dlls: GameOverlay.dll and SharpDX.Direct2D1.dll (this are 2 well know Dlls, if you dont trust the 2 Dlls provided with the Zip file, feel free to download the original one.), this 2 Dlls need to be in the main DPB folder (the same folder where DreamPoeBot.exe is)
The Zip structure now contain the 2 Dlls in the root, and a 3rdParty folder containing the FollowBot folder. you can safely extract the zip file directly in the main DPB folder (the same folder where DreamPoeBot.exe is) and everything will be in place.

does it work ok with nullbot?

[alcor75]

Once you extract it to the 3rdParty folder, and load DPB, it will be added as an alternative to NullBot, and you will need to select it, FollowBot.

The Sentinel league added a lot of new ground effects that prevent from positive follower experience. Q: Would it be possible to implement a checkbox with avoidance of certain ground effects, so that the bot does not die to degen and stuff?

Hello, its possible but this would require to know the exact metadata of every dangerous effect. if you provvide me that list, ill try to code it.

[aprados]
