Azeroth_31_43.adt, gnome/dwarf starting area. Using RecastDemo as model viewer for visual. Recast/Detour implemented to generate nav mesh and pathfinding.


Combined with the php script I've got no more waypoints needed. Can ask it where to find any mob/npc/item.

Very nice, but it looks like you need to play around some more with the recast config settings. That graveyard is almost completely unwalkable in your mesh (which shouldn't be the case).

Looks like either your borderSize or walkableRadius param is incorrect.

PHP? Are you using PHP as a scripting language in your bot?

Is your implementation of Recast/Detour taking into account slopes?

[DrGonzo]

I'm using all the default settings atm, so slopes angle is 45degrees.

The php script runs on my website as a front end to a private server DB with all the mob locations/etc. So whenever the bot needs to know where something is it just makes a web request. I've found it's the easiest way to manage it.

Interesting concept.

I was actually working on something very similar. However; I was using ASP.NET and web services, since it's far, far easier to interface with .NET. (Fast apparently as well)

Very interesting indeed. I've seen setups that utilize the same 'concept' of storing every object within the world (mobs, vendors, you name it) and then calls their position when needed.

This setup added all the POI's into a csv file while running the bot for which it had not encountered yet. Then stored them locally into data files which are re-initiated every time the the program is restarted.

May I ask why you chose to utilize a front end system instead of a local (non network, IE just your c to get your requests?

[DrGonzo]

I already had a mySQL class my friend wrote in php to handle all the queries, so it was only ~20 mins of work to make the rest of it. Already had the private server db and with it running from my web server the information can be accessed from anywhere without worrying about setting up a local server and maintaining multiple (up to date) copies of the DB itself it just made sense. Plus I needed to give myself an excuse to learn php. You require an internet connection to run wow so there's no benefit in making it a local system.

The php script can be asked for locations for a mob or npc by name or id, asked for what mob drops an item by id or name, and quest information.

So you could write a questing bot, very cool stuff indeed.
Also, working with networkrequests is a good cracking protection if you'd ever wanted to sell your bot.

Just seeing what you guys are accomplishing and what im doing just shows me what a nub i am, gotta take extra lessons in programming/coding in my free time, FearandLawyering that looks sweet hope it goes well for ya.
