[Open Source] Lucky's Spacebot

[phagotron]

Hi all,

another hotfix for the 5.35psx preview is available. Please delete the old preview and get the new one:

Luckys_Spacebot 5.35psx - preview

(It can also be loaded from page 14 of this thread)

Updates:
- Ezran mission updated
- Mission control standby mode: default client interface detection added, mission start is blocked then (will address some but not any misconfiguration)

Note: to save any values permanently, exit the bot with the cross. (x) or the windows close function. F4 will exit without save.

Recommended settings:
- Aero desktop (default Windows 7)
- Client in window mode, 1024x768, low detail, default interface

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


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.

I guess that are the jumping points. You will need the Default interface from the dropdown. It really must be it, not something looking very similiar to it. Just it. Not that other interfaces cannot work, but very easy you will get a scaling factor into it - you may not even see that, but the bot does.

If tweaking tolerance you need to know what you are doing. Setting tolerance to a high value will make the bot recognize a white cross on white background for the swiss national flag. If calibration says "nominal" it should work with tolerance 100. Sometimes - as vapor pointed out - a lower value might be needed for a reliable timer sync.Some missions like Pakuuni already have a built in tolerance correction. The reason for this is simple - certain color combinations have better contrast than other ones.Green on brown contrast for example is not very good. So long word short action - if you have early starts - decrease it by 10 and then increase by one until timers sync. If the mission ends early, increase by one, rinse and repeat. but always keep in mind - it should work with 100. (In some future version a per mission tolerance might be added in mission tuning tab)

Anyway ... the current hotfix now has a function in Mission Control which - so far I hope - will help to adress the UI issue. If it doesnt detect the ready for mission image, it will disable all mission buttons until the image is detected correctly.

Ps: if you recompile the bot, use x86 model. If you have issues, you better should use the precompiled exe before recompiling.

tried your hotfix 4,

I've followed all of the instructions to a T time and time again. first preview of 5.35 worked fine for me, what happened between these latest releases? I took my own screen shots and edited the drexel45.png to put my own time in, following the instructions for how to create your own file. and it still doesn't find the sync img. the mouse clicks are fine the missions just won't go. Something had to have changed from the first 5.35 to the subsequent ones.

Tried the precompiled version, no tolerance level allows drexel to start.

Took a screen shot, the recompiled, still no tolerance allows it to start.

Understanding this a bit more, I guess none of the bots have actually worked for me when it comes to images, I've just been able to set the tolerance high enough to where none of it matters?

and every time a mission fails it boots me to the character select screen, always.

None of the missions start, they all fail at the beginning searching for the init img

Tried every tolerance from 100 to 125, it actually started at 115 but was off by 2 seconds, so it blew up pretty quickly, then wouldn't go anymore, tried at 115 again and it wouldn't start at all.

At this point, no tolerance works, meeting all recommendations, and redoing and restarting everything from scratch, rebooting the computer and holding my left leg up with my head tilted sideways =) once in a while the 125 tolerance will start but then fails because the timing is horribly off. It is certainly something with the images, but I have no clue how to fix it. My own images don't work, my own compile doesn't work, the prepacked bot doesn't work for me at any tolerance....not sure what to do next.

Started from scratch again. I took a new screen shot and presto.

Runs like an aston martin now!

I'll be going through all the missions to take all new screen shots as I'm sure this was the problem now.
I couldn't begin to tell you why my other screen shots were failing, but they did.

Thanks again for all your hard work and for taking the time to try to help diagnose my problem.

P.S.
I've kept the text that I wrote before to maybe help people in the future that may run into some of the things I was seeing.

Np, thanks for the detailed description, glad to see you solved the problem. All feedback is appreciated, it will help to improve the bot.If you are sure with using Aero it might be some kind of GPU issue, If you are willing to take the screenshots and replace the pics, plz post them here. If I had a complete set I could add them to an alternate picture folder for the bot.

Thanks for posting this. I was running into the same issues and this fixed them entirely.

The problem of bot leaving every mission persist for me.

Mission starts, it waits few second, windom with "Retry" and "Leave Mission" pops and it obviously picks "Leave mission".

Weird, since it didn't happen in any previous versions (currently using Luckys_Spacebot 5.35psx - preview)

Hello,
I think the key to a working system should be a VM.
Here is my setup to run the Spacebot 5.35 (psx-preview) "out of the box":

My PC (Host Machine):
Intel i5-2500k
8GB Ram
Geforce 460 GTX (1GB)
Monitor is 23" w. 1920x1080
2nd Harddrive for the Virtual Machines
Win7 64bit Ultimate.

1. Buy (or leech) VMWare 8
2. Set it up like this: http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/star...ndows-7-a.html
2.1 My Guest-Machine has 2 processors with 1 core, 2GB Memory, 60GB HDD.
2.2 Set your Windows7 x32 SP1 (with all updates) Monitor settings to 4:3 (1400 x 1050)
2.3 Make sure that in the VMWare preferences under "Display" "Autofit window" is checked and "Autofit guest" is unchecked.
2.4. Shut off the Windows UAC
2.5. Make sure the SWTOR-Folder and the spacebot-folder are not on the desktop or in the Programs folder (I made C:\Games\ as my working Directory)
2.6. Fire up SWTOR (setup for the bot) and Spacebot (out of the box), fly some rounds. Check if everything works.
3. Clone your VM. Make a full clone, not linked.
4. Start your 2nd VM with your second account :P

This is how I'm able to run 2 bots and watch movies/surf the net at the same time. I don't think this works on smaller machines, as my CPU and my Memory is working at 90% all the time.
(Testet with the german client on Polith for 24 hours)

Edit: 1400x1050 are proper 4:3 settings old one was 17" 5:4
After creating VM start it/them in Vmware-Player. Makes it much more stable.

This also worked for me. I took new screenshots and now missions run at a much lower torerance than before (100 instead of 121) for me as well as running much more consistently! However I have noticed a new issue, while the missions do run now and run well, they only run for a couple of hours at the most. I don't know exactly when since I haven't been watching when it happens, but I have left the bot running for a lengthy period of time and when I came back (on two occasions now) the swtor client wasn't running any longer. Is anyone else having this happen to them?

Yes, i think this is an SWTOR issue. The "crash to desktop" problem is known and they're working on it.

OK, the reason I bring it up here, is because I have never had this issue just playing the game. It only started after running the same mission with this bot over and over and over again.....

Ive had it happen several time in game and while using the bot.

so you actually took screenshots, cut out the specific entities and created new files that are located in the /images directory? was there any trick to this in knowing the size of the file needed or resolution?

im an avid Auto-it scriptor but i never really looked into what the imagesearch libraries do or any caveats.

[Zach6770]

Tron PLEASE get this working for Bounty Hunter i know there is a lot on your plate and that there are lvl 40 missions...48mission and other missions that dont work.....But i am DYING to lvl a bounty hunter and now that im spoiled i could not stand to lvl him by hand lol please get this working Thanks in Advance

I tried to keep the new image files as close to the same size as the old ones as possible, I also created a new folder called originals and placed the old images there as a backup and then used the same file name for the copy of them I made from my own screen shots.
