[GUIDE] oBG for OpenBot - now includes WSG logic

[xcloudx]

open-bot forums are dead, again

[xcloudx]

I'm having a big problem, the bot will just randomly close openbot and then log out in the middle of a fight?

[Apoc]

Sounds like you set the logout timer or something. Nothing internally will close the bot or log you out. (Aside from the logout timer)

Check if you have any other scripts running as well.

Just got it up and going today. I'm doing AV and my guy stands still, mounts then unmounts, and doesn't fight very well in pvp. He doesn't seem to be getting to the hot spots he is suppose to. Any clue how to make him walk like a human? I've done quite a bit of mapping, how much is needed?

if anyone has any doubts, this bot is amazing. despite various weaknesses fact is you can let it run 100 AVs completely solo and your chances of catching the afk debuff are zero. in fact, i have no doubt that the vast majority of players observing the bot closely would bet $50 that its a real person, and one pretty good at pvp as well. so dont get frustrated with "issues".

some tips, of the top of my head:
learn to map and use the regular openbot, they are the same thing. use their tutorials.
dont mix up obg and normal openbot. if you use both, manually exchange the openbot folder in your innerspace every time.
get the openbot routines and put them in obg, they work fine in pvp
dont get hung up on exactly where the hotspots are. in AV, eots and ab the bot looks at where most players are, and sets off to the closest hotspot, attacking everything on the way, then just stands there. dont try to make it cap towers, go up stairs, etc. dont worry if the "relief hut" spot is not right at the real RH, just put it where you like.
Play a few games where you manually visit all spots, walk all roads, visit all GYs. dont use a mount during this mapping. going thru the major forum posts in openbot will help you a ton, since admittedly the obg "instructions" are pretty vague and unhelpful for a new user.

once you learn to use it you can fish, skin, or just farm all kinds of mobs for money using openbot as well. its well worth a few hours work getting the kinks out. some huge bugs remain, but nothing to do except work around them and wait for newer openbot versions.

Any reason to avoid installing obg in to the openbot folders? I know it over-writes some files, is the combat logic or something changed?

Will oBG switch battlegrounds in the middle of a game? (waiting for AV to pop so i play AB) if i am in AB will it log into AV?


OB forums down again... sad

[Ccopy]

Ill test it, looks nice

[Apoc]

oBG was written and is still maintained to be a direct drop in for OB. It does NOT change anything outside of the scope of battlegrounds. (Aside from bugfixes to the core that help the bot in general)

So it's your choice whether you want 1 folder for OB, or 50 different folders for each little difference.

oBG will switch battlegrounds based on priority. (You set the priority)

Happy hunting.

Great job on this Apoc. Working flawlessly cept one thing- Seems that when you set it to do something specific, like guard the relief hut, it ignores the setting and just follows the mob or continues to SH. Any suggestions? If Im looking to mainly play D with my war in AV, should i just set all the horde hotspots in the keep? Not a huge deal, just something i have been toying with.

[Diavol]

Also just wondering if anyone has any good pvp war routines. Thx!

War pvp routines are here oBG • View forum - Warrior

[justme86]

Lame, it leaves the bg prematurely giving itself deserter if it finds the "not enough players" message. it should stay inside untill the bg actually ends

oh... so that is why it left as deserter from eots this morning all the time...

any fix to this issue?

[Apoc]

There is no fix for the leaving when you get that message. It's done on purpose to avoid getting stuck in a battleground by yourself and 1 other person. (Bot flag anybody?)

Also, if you're in AV, just turn on guard only, and choose a hotspot from the dropdown in that tab.

[Diavol]

I cant seem to get the drop downs to work. My war seems to "Go with the flow" no matter what options i select. Maybe a conflict with the routine?
