[Open Source] Lucky's Spacebot

[phagotron]

Phagotron,

I started working on the Impossible Sector script, but I have one question. Where is the collision function defined? Or has it been created yet? I combed through the files and was unable to locate it.

Thanks -T

It is located in Polith.au3 where it def should not be, even if it doesnt do very much. With next hotfix it will be in misc.au3.

I tried adjusting the img tolerance and got the mission I want to run (Llanic Station) to run once at a tolerance of 120, but on the very next run it exits out of the mission again and I can't get it to run again after no matter wat tolerance setting I use.

Double check if the recommendations are met. If calibration fails or tolerance needs to be set to insane high values this is not the case.

I just wanted to say thank you to the dev of this bot. Im currently on the last 50 on my acct. I have been botting level 15-34 on 5.1 using standard loop no img search. 35-50 on 5.2 adaptive w/ img search. I will say it closing or problems arise running the lvl 34 missions on both republic and empire sides closing randomly from 7 to 60 runs. The new versions never seemed to work even with recompiling but it would be helpful to have a list of the previous versions to 5.1 for everyone. Any earlier is really not needed imo. Again a big thank you Bud!

Thanx for the compliments! Anyway, the new versions will not run if the recommendations are not met. Also, there is no support for any previous version. Even more, since running new and old versions together will lead to problems, it is strongly suggested to run only the latest version. Sorry for that, but there is no sane way around.

Running ezran.. many times the bot fails because of one of the hangers.. the one that it exits nearby at the end of the mission.. probably 50% of the time I've failed that mission while watching was because of that. Just ran again and SW just disappeared.. don't know how it closed.. no error or anything.. bot still was trying to run the mission.

Yes, the current hotfix only has a 2:1 success rate for Ezran main tasks, as mentioned earlier. Maybe a bit less if u have the T1 missile mag equipped instead of the T2 one. Also, its not uncommon that the client quits from time to time. Not sure if its just a swtor bug or if some ops want to make sure your still alive.

[phagotron]

I sure will. I have it getting successfully to about 3 minutes remaining, but I need to add more random movement to avoid all the extra laser fire. I've made an adjustment to the evader() function in Misc.au3 to help out as well, but I made sure the changes to that script only occur while Impossible Sector is running (don't want to break anything else). Anyway, back to work!

Help on the missions is very much appreciated, it really is a time consuming task to tune and test a mission and I'm currently doing the imp missions which will take some days for sure. If you post your new evader code I'd be able to say more, but in general - since evaders task is to avoid damage - it should not harm if it just does this a little better. Running the mission manually, I guess its a bit equip, a bit avoiding dmg but most of all kill the fighters, as they - compared to polith or hydian - do some more damage. Beneath the search for the perfect pixel a trick might be to split up the attacks in more functions, each using individual rectangles as search area. Crucial is a good aiming in the last 90 sec, since engines and hangar need some core shots. Which only makes sense if you survive until then, sure.

I've tried the latest 5.35 you've posted, and I can't get any of the missions to work. I've set the tolerance to 125 and it keeps failing and sending me to character select screen. It will go into the mission and start looking for the first thing but doesn't find it and leaves the mission immediately. The first version of your 5.35 worked great for me, is there anyway I could get that copy? Thanks.
I'm not sure what has changed between the 2, but it appears that the tolerance levels are no longer enough. Thanks in advance for any help! =)

I was using 5.31(I think it's an earlier version) and it wasn't accepting the mission complete at the end of Kahlee when trying to do dailies and repeat that mission. Using 5.34, I get an error trying to do this mission, something to the effect of "Lucky's bot not found"

The old version wont help you out since its not the problem. Check recommendations, set tolerance to 100, calibrate and things should work.

My big problem is performance - I run this on a laptop, its a Dell e6500 with 8gigs memory running Windows7 64bit. The problem is the video card is not so hot-- its a Nvidia 160 something or other so I run the game in the lowest settings possible. When I run Widnows7 in AEro mode even with transparency off, I suffer performance hits.. Does 5.35 need to be run in Aero mode?

Yes, Aero mode is a must.

Thanks for your quick reply. I just read my post and realize I should have been more detailed.

v5.34 work ok for me, besides the drexel sweep type missions, I had to change the timing because it was a second too fast to miss a rock, and I also had to changed the coords and timing for when it was just about to come in view of the ship the first time to do the optional mission, what would happen is that the top of the ship would rake against the bottom of the rock that was above the ship.

v5.35preview<first one> WAS GREAT! The missions ran great, the crew ran great and many other things performed very well.

What I do:

1) change ratio from 1920x1080 to 1024x768 in game.
2) then I change to window mode with LOW graphics not very low <which is an option now>
3) Run the bot
4) The new bot auto adjusts the window now, but I still click the resize button.
5) exit the game and restart it
6) use the calibration button and it says "all things nominal" or something like that.
7) UI is set to default. Instead of using the drop down DEFAULT select, I open the UI editor to make sure everything moves that I've moved when I use the default button.
Running win 7 x64 and have always used the aero theme. I haven't adjusted anything for my computer's UI, it's stock aero with transparency turned off.
9) I've also recompiled the .au3 file, but x64 won't compile so I have to use the x86 compile and put the .dll in the proper folder for windows

Now with the second preview of v5.35 I run into the following issues.


a)At this point 100 tolerance none of the missions will run, they will start wait for the beginning sync and then fail and exit.
b)Once I set it to 125 tolerance the missions will run but quickly fail. 1 problem I've run in to is that the ship will stop firing and only launch missles.
c)The counters don't work for me, even on a won mission it will still count a fail.
d)Trying to do the dailies doesn't work for me either, and I make sure the "do optional mission" is unchecked so that it's only trying to do the primary. I've actually tried both ways and what happens is that even if it's a win the bot will go right back to the same mission it had just done and not go on to the next daily.
e)The crew missions work sometimes and then don't work at other times.
f) running a mission at 125 tolerance in the main gui will run the mission and normally fail, but at the same time always put me at the character select screen.

My main question is, will me taking my own screen shots of the timers for each mission fix all these problems. Or is there something else going on? I have always had to run tolerance at 125 or higher<when you allowed it to go to 150> even with my own screen shots of the times.

Is there something else you would suggest me trying?
Would me running this on a 40 in. screen be causing some of the tolerance issues?
And are the tolerance issues the main problem for what is happening?

When I get home I will run the system information tool and edit this post with my system information.

I am running the latest 5.35 right now and have been running the 28/and 34 lvl mishs without issues. I did have the start and fails until I adjusted the img tolerence out. Once I hit the right mark I had no more issues. The mark for every mish seems different for me. One might be 91 the next 105. Aero is a must and a default ui and i mean completely default. I should be ready to move into the 40s tonight and will report my findings there. Oh and I run on a 32 in 1080 hi def tv that I use as a monitor so I dont think thats what is getting you.

Yeah, my 40 is 1080p also and I've kept the HD mode in the GUI on as well. Should I be running the windowed mode in a different resolution than 1024x768?

Thanx for the detailed info, Could you provide the diag info (about-tag, Sysinfo) too?

Tron and myself tried a different res setting while screen sharing and it didnt alter the effects of it. IT actually reset itself back to default settings. Its a good idea after changing the img tolerence to click on calibration afterwards and ignore whatever it says to adjust to. It seems to set your adjusted amount. Then try the mission. If it fails adjust again, calibrate, ignore run again.
