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

[kabman]

Is there a place where we can download paths yet?

Nice thanks for this. Works well.

I was in the process of making my own when I stumbled upon yours. For fun I'm still making mine, but I have a question. When a mission starts you have no idea how long it took to load. I notice your bot does a delay of some form to determine when it should start. What exactly is this doing? My guess would be checking a pixel for an indicator that the mission progress has reached a certain state then starting the playback?

it looks for the TOR loading screen
while it is still there, it waits, then checks again

once it is not there, it determines that the mission has begun, and begins, as you said, "checking a pixel for an indicator that the mission progress has reached a certain state then starting the playback"

timer sync checks the timer in the topright of the screen, and waits until it is at a certain time (eg 5m 53s) then when it is correct, starts playback/recording
event sync checks a certain spot on the screen for 'something' to happen, and once that 'something' happens (like a ship flying past), starts playback/recording

on how to set these up

Hello everyone! I would like to thank Thephilz for this bot it works very well.

But I have just a little problem. Apparently the bot doesn't record the "1234" buttons. I'm using it during the record but when I play it seems that they're not activated.
Do you think it's because i'm French ( yeah sorry for my English) and I'm using the french version of the bot? I didn't try with the English version cause it's long to download.

1-4 IS supported...

odd .. as vlein said, it IS supported, ever since 2.0 or so, so i dont think its a version issue
can you send me the .txt of the script you used the 1234 with?

I am running Sollust and for some reason it plays good for a few runs then drops out of sync for a few runs then gets back into sync again. its very odd. this is with Timed and Event... Please assist.

Sullust is a ****ing waste of time. Did the same for me, assuming swtor.exe didn't just crash. I could normally squeeze out 3-5 levels a night, but once I hit 40, it took about 3 days of sullust/polith to finally lvl.
I opted for Polith instead, even though it was longer, it was steadier. But 4.0 broke the timer and event wouldnt trigger, so that char had to do solely sullust.
I gave up and just did pvp on em.

I have a diff char hit 27, and sarapin is still not too bad. You only get 5xp per run, but with the bonus mission, I'm actually averaging about 1 xp block an hour.
I let it go over night and already 6 blocks in, started halfway into lvl 25.

same problem here, but only with kalee(44). every other mission ive crushed (200-1 kinda thing) and just recently ive been getting a success rate of like 60%. i adjust the delay from 1800 to 2000 and it works fine again for a couple missions but then seems to run out of sync every other run, perfect one run, next is way off, then perfect again etc. im running the same pc load and all. i havent recently hecked lower missions but ill report back. also i use the timer sync

I don't think the delay option value has any effect. Remembered that the bot creator said that it was hardcoded to be fixed at 2000, the syncing is obvious random.

been doing sullust past 2 days, always a 90% win, last night was 135/13

i usually go mugaar - sullust into aeten.

slight correction :

the recording is set to 2000 by default and is unchangeable
your playback delay is set to 2000 by default, and is what changes when you fiddle with those numbers

this feature was designed with timer sync in mind, not event sync (i did not consider event sync at this point of time), so its much more effective in timer sync

what it was supposed to do was to allow you to use the same file even though the load times were slightly different from the time of recording (lets say you just reset the computer so load times were the shortest) and the time of playback (then you closed the game, did whatever for a few hours, then decided to bot, meaning load times were the longest).
in this scenario, the playback loading times would be SLIGHTLY longer (depending on the computer used), so for example if the recording started at 5:30, then the playback might start at 5:29.5, meaning you need to change the delay to 1500 or 2500 accordingly.

well, that was the theory anyway

in practice you just keep it at 2000 and only adjust it when using a different computer's sync file, and even then its not even reliable

honestly ive only changed my 2000 to around 1850 once ever, due to a very off-sync recording, probably because i had a lag spike during loading or something, but that raised my success rate from 60% to 95%+ so yeah
i really could have just done another recording, but i got lazy and decided to re-sync using this feature, so its all good

on a side note, i finished my 3 videos for tutorials and am currently doing some slight video editting on them

here is the first one

How to Use + Debugger - YouTube

it explains basic usage of the bot, plus how to use Debugger.exe

the next two will be on how to make accurate event/timer sync images

[drupanu]

Anyone know what could be wrong with mine?! I hit start. It says searching for map but nothing happens, Its in 800x600 and i started in admin Mode. Any suggjestions?!
Could it be that im level 44 trying to do level 34 missions?

Same here.

[unattended]

So this is frustrating. Version 2.0x works great, but everything after that fails to recognize the beginnings of the missions. Also, it kept telling me that 4.0 is the most recent version when I was running 4.0x.

should cover everything

If it does or does not, post results please

i've been watching the bot do it's work and it seems that it will sometimes completely bug out....the aim will be completely off almost as if the synch has gone...
funny thing is, that the next run will be back to perfect....

[assasin01]

Even worse now..can't even start the bot..It will load and try to start but can't seem to find the map. Did you change the 4.0 as well ? I had no problems until yesterday ??
I'll start checking o my side if anything has changed....but i got no ideas yet...

[assasin01]

OK,big fail on my side...after a windows update ,somehow my screen got reset to aero in stead of classic....
On problem nr 2...i deleted the untzbot folder completely and redowned. After recording a new path all was good again. Seems like the paths can get poisoned by multiple recordings.

But for now, the easy fix, is to clear everything and re-record.
