Something that would be a big plus to dailys would be the ability to set a different image tolerance to each of them, IE out to the side of each daily an image tolerance box. Fondor IMG TOL 100
Javaal IMG TOl 94 etc. Since each mission can require its own tolerance to run successfully and trying to run the dailies as one run can be an issue due to this, this could be a resolve for it.

Typing this from my iphone since I'm on the road for a few days ... garbage connection lol
Anyway ... As Cy pointed out I didnt plan to put much time into the 5.x GUI ... but if you have a list of the needed tolerances per mission ready there might be an easy way to add them using a dedicated ini file or something like that.

I am not huge at coding while I am good for testing and thought train, coding isnt my strong point. I have an open line of communication with tron and he is welcome to test on my machine any time he needs. You as well. I am also available to respond on here as needed to help others with issues so I dont mind contributing where I can I work for apple A+ software support all day long testing and providing support to clients so I sit in front of both my Windows pc and my mac all day :P

You might not be a coder but we do need a documentation writer as well as a Q&A writer if you're interested in helping of some type. Besides if you are that close to Phago you would get more insight on new things as any other team member would anyways.

[Cystacae]

It is also a very valid idea to also have mission control info appear at the bottom of the dailies tab as they run so you can see how the mission is responding.

I will look into this but suggestions would be helpful if you visit our Assembla homepage and submit a ticket. Memory doesn't suit me very well.

[Cystacae]

would it be possible to add a function that would allow the bot to log on to X amount of your characters to do the crew skills on them and then log back on to character Y to resume space battles? The crew skill functionality is great, but if you had 8 characters with 5 companions, this functionality would be very powerful.

We will look into this but I would suggest making a ticket on our assembla page. That way we can remember this suggestion. I will post the link on the 1st post.

[Cystacae]

While a great funcitonality, thats a giant order. It would have to know which toon you want to do which skill etc.

Not impossible but it would tack on a lot of code and more possible room for error. It wouldn't probably be considered to be put in until 6.0 unless Phago wants to dig his hands into this earlier which isn't a likely scenario atm.

[Cystacae]

Hibernation is just a life raft for your pc. Should the swtor client crash or close the bot will place the PC into hibernation and help preserve its lifespan. Nothing more.

As far as Debug mode look for a better answer of how it works from a dev, as I have watched it work and not noticed a change in performance when using it.

Generally it allows us some extra things we need as well ass more info for us. It isn't a crap ton more but it will be expanded upon as we get closer and into 6.0.

I will definitely put this into 6.0 so a preliminary code addition might be helpful even if it isn't actively used Phago. If I need to modify this for the changes to 6.0 I will handle it after that. I have a bit of time I added for 6.0 dev release anyways.

Ill get them lined out this evening or next and get them over to you. I assume based of different machines monitors etc, these settings could vary per user as well. Working with my guild though Ive noticed a really close pattern in what works for me works for them, so maybe not. Ill get you a list of tolerance levels and give it a whirl.

Feels like my normal job lol. Beta tester pro!

[phagotron]

I appreciate the help on missions TMichael! I am sure our resident 5.3 master feels the same. Phagotron is a machine but even he still needs some help lol. I just got back and I am going to be working on 6.0 with the little time I have. I want to know if you would like to be a permanent member of the team and I will give you a trunk on the work server where you can submit your work. That way we can all collect the stuff at one place and I think it would benefit Phago and myself as well as you in the future. Lemme know and if so I need an email address I can send the invite from Assembla. If you have any questions on how or what to do I am sure Assembla could help you as well as myself or Phago. Phago fell in love with Assembla all ready and is considering a having babies with it, LOL!

Yea ... Assembla rocks. Period. And help is appreciated, very much indeed. Even more for this bot thing, since only the most essential testing consumes an insane amount of time. Using the SVN will make some things easier, but we should avoid to have too much trunks here, better we learn how to cooperate in one trunk. Thats the strength of a versioning tool. For each of us working on his own tree it just helps nothing. As it looks we currently are doing the step from rapid prototyping to an agile developement, maybe time comes where we have to define who wears the scrum master hat ;) (what usually ruins all fun of a voluntary project:)

[phagotron]

What image tolerance do you suggest I use?

Try calibration, it should suggest a tolerance with which u are able to start the missions. May be necessary to decrease it in case of early starts.

Ive got a ventrilo meeting with him this afternoon to get him running

It is also a very valid idea to also have mission control info appear at the bottom of the dailies tab as they run so you can see how the mission is responding.

Once all missions have a working script behind them, the status column is not needed any more. Dailys checkboxes could go here, no Dailys tab needed any more then. Currently - there is a small delay hitting the dailys start button before bot needs control - I press the button and then switch to main asap.

[mcinsane]

Will you guys be adding functions to start SWTOR if it crashes?

ive already created the coding myself and added it to the source and complied, but with every new update i have to re-add it and its kinda a pain.

Very valid. Ill get you the img tolerance settings asap.

I don't get it. Perhaps because of my poor english. What exactly does this Function do? Why should i got to Standby when my Client is running?
And what exactly are the advantages (or disadvantages) of the psx-debugging-mode?

The bot permanently checks if swtor client is running. In case it dies ( and you have the hibernation checked) it rises a msgbox to see if you are still awake. If not, it will send the pc to sleep. This may easily save some 20 to 60 hrs pc operation time per char. At current energy prices in good old germany this is worth more than a month of tor subscription.

The psx debug mode is meant to help with pixel and timing debug, so its more a dev feature. Anyway, some mission even run better with it, mainly the low level ones. And the "stutter fire" sound is awesome.
