[Beta] UntzBot (Space Missions Bot, recorder+player)

[BioSpark]

I noticed there are scripted paths in the /script folder (Kovar and Pakuuni), but their not selectable in the drop down menu. Anyone know how to enable these?

[suthek]

This is an excellent bot. Works really well. I haven't tried recording my own yet, but very well done. Can't wait until all the missions are coded-in.

Perhaps add an option to allow from switching from Power to Shields/Power to Blasters? (For the level 40+ missions)

How would power to shields help you?
They don't regen unless you stop doing auto-fire. (and the bot doesnt)


few minor glitches/enhancement suggestions I'd like to report:
#1 in the deathcheck the timer gets to 0:59:59 then goes to 1:60:00 and keeps counting up no a non-clock style magical timer.
#2 it doesn't log auto-roll enable/disable. I'm thinking this could be useful to have enable/disable in the script if possible.
#3 why are the start time stamps around 5 seconds into the flight rather than at the beginning? I changed them myself but I'm surprised I had to. This is more for my personal curiosity. I changed it for Nez paron mainly. I found by making it earlier i could take out those 6 flyers.


Other than that, works great. Confirmed on i7-940xm laptop and phenom 1090T desktop. On both machines, I could use the same recorded flight path. Your original flight paths also worked. I had to set the delay to around 3100 for them to work.

I've noticed many people saying the bot works but shoots at random instead of at ships... this is because of your delay. You have to adjust the delay to get it to line up with the birds flying. If your shooting a location before the bird gets there then increase the delay. If you find you're shooting behind the birds then decrease the delay. First bot I've used. I'm surprised how easy it was to use.

Cuntly doing Ezran missions with 100% success rate. I was at around 200/0 when i checked it after quite a few hours.

Helpful tip: If you have mission targets, record shooting at them a few times.
In Ezran I recorded shooting missles at hangers on 2nd passes and 3rd passes just on the off chance my missle lock fails.
I know it isn't there the second time in theory but if you by fluke missed the target the first time, while it's in playing mode, it will take it out the second time. Consider it an insurance policy.

mine just says galaxy not found after it clicks the captains chair, no idea how to fix it

you can press 1/2/3/4 and it records it .. so .. just press them

HOWEVER it will still autofire, so there is seriously no point doing that

the next release will capture all left clicks/autofire toggles so you can turn it off when you want to regen shields if you wish

also i plan on moving all the hotkeys 'around', which will allow 'wasd' recording, and allowing right click drags (personally i prefer the rapid-fire 'a' missiles though, so im not sure what ill do about that. seriously, right click drags, to me, are worthless)
with this you can play each mission like you always do, and the bot should mimic every movement
be careful not to be 'extravagant' when doing stuff though, as the bot records around 13 'frames' per second, so extremely quick movements might not be captured
however i must be very careful when doing this, as doing more things will definitely introduce more lag to the system and may throw off timing and ruin the bot (especially for lower-end computers such as my own)

ill do this during maint and see if i can get it up by the end of it .. and hopefully i dont wreck everything

also coming up is a settings file so users can adjust certain values at will, such as how long to wait when opening galaxy map. i know for certain that the galaxy map is an issue.

and the timer will be fixed too

i fixed my galaxy map, weirdest solution. you need to use the default windows 7 skin, it cant be classic.

May I suggest a rand number generator choosing different missions? I suppose I figure doing a bunch of different missions rather than the same one over and over seems less "bot-like" I'd hate to be flagged.
Also, you could do a check for if the mission box infront of the map flags yellow and accept new missions. This along with random mission selection would get a few random quests done here and there. Just a thought for rev 6 or 7 down the road.

Awesome work. Can't wait to see the next rev.

Hi Bubblegums, what you need to do is take a screenshot of the globe in the bottom right corner of the map. Its your "world map" button. This is the pixel detection trigger to make sure you are on the ship. Take it, edit it down to just the globe, name it defender.bmp, and replace the one currently in the image folder.

Let me know if you have any more problems.

The screenshot tip did help me to start the bot. Need still some fine tuning with the latency since my shots are way off, I will find this out what fits best for recording. My biggest issue currently is that the bot stops after completing one mission in play modus and is not doing nonstop the same mission again. Is this maybe another screenshot problem ?

Thx a lot for the help !

And thx @Thephilz for this cool bot ...

i loved it, great job, + rep.
but ive reached a higher level now so cant use it anymore, looking forward to the next update!

It's likely that phil will release a new version soon with the hardcoded missions for 34-40, at minimum. Historically, he releases a new one every 2 days with updates ( 1/25, 1/27, 1/29 ), so its entirely possible we have a new one tomorrow. The script for those missions are already complete, so all he has to do is write the code for mission selection.

That's a educated guess however, It may be far later. For the time being, Id highly suggest leveling a second character. If you have a high level friend, you can have him run you through ONLY class quests in a hour or two, and have your ship by level 10. This allows you to bot up a second character while you wait, as well as contributing to your legacy level.

Oh dear god all this sounds divine. ;_; I want to hug you.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to thephilz again.

Dammit.

#3 why are the start time stamps around 5 seconds into the flight rather than at the beginning? I changed them myself but I'm surprised I had to. This is more for my personal curiosity. I changed it for Nez paron mainly. I found by making it earlier i could take out those 6 flyers.

Howd you adjust the time? I was setting up Nez Peron myself and noticed it wouldn't kick in until those 6 ships were nearly off the screen.
And what really sets the delay time? i recorded a sarapin run, and played it back, and it was successful.
I walked away for a half hour and came back, Win 1, Loss 6. I figure wtf, I seen it work, I watch it run it one more time and it was a success.
So I dont know about that.
Then I walk away and come back an hour later, and my pc is frozen, and according to time stamp 30 mins before I came back to it, so wasted time.

Last night before bed I spend 34 minutes according to deathcheck adjusting the delay for Nez peron, 1482 ended up being the magic number I believe.


Gameplay note, I have a lvl 50 and from lvl 20 onward, i did the space mission dailys every day.
And I can say with confidence i don't think power to blasters does a damn thing.
I checked on all my runs, counted single mouse taps vs targets, no difference.
However power to shields lowers your damage to something silly like 5-10%, but just increases shield regen, which with auto fire, again, is pointless.

WASD not too concerned with as I rebound A and D to strafe, which breaks the space flight as it looks for turn left/right specifically.

Only other thing I can think of if possible is a play list.
So in the morning or whatever, grab the dailys, set the bot to do 1 jabiim, 1 cartel, etc, and then when done, Nez Peron infinite.

Hope your right, and good idea with leveling of alts, ill do that today

Exactly what I was thinking. shame I cant get multiple instances running.
I made a sorc healer and this managed me a whole lvl 22-23 before maintenance. I thought maintenance was 6cst.
I woke up and nothing was running. Just remoted in to see it went off ok.

Have a 35 jugg, and a 14 Assassin. assassin already dark5 from the slavekillers glitch they patched.

So many classes I want to play, but disgusted with the repetitive quests. same places, same quests, same unnecessary orbital stations, etc
I've reached the point where I don't mind botting. I dont get caught, I get some lvls.
I get banned, no worrying about playing.

Any chance on an function to edit the delay real time? pageup/down for 10 increments perhaps? itd be nice to try to fine tune it in 1 run instead of constantly restarting, especially nez peron since it has an inherent long delay to start as it is.

Interesting. But I wouldn't be able to launch separate sessions with my 1 login.
But on the side, might be interesting to maintain a handful of friends accounts, have them buy me drinks at the end of the week.
How would the bot come into play in a case like this?
Or anyway to vm a session and let the bot run, everything minimized so my wife can facebook up during the day and not complain I'm on the pc even at work?
