voke bot in progress

[Izlude]

ok i have some free time right now so i am gunna try a few things with this script provided. and i have a few ffact questions, such as:
1.how can i try to make my character travel between two sections on the map (2 squares)?
2. what is the highest sleep value i can enter? i want this to after killing the nm sign back on if one hour, just wandering if the sleep value can go up that high.
3. i havent tested the nm bot yet, because i have been either sick or very busy with homework. but will this bot provoke the nm even if my character cannot see him? if not, how could i make this happen?
if there is a easier way to do things please tell me. the reason i want a advanced bot is to learn, and so i can do my homework and let this bot go do its thing. i will still be at the desk but i will just not pay much attention to the monitor, i get distraced easily -_-

In my opinion, after spending nearly two full days perfecting my voke script. And believe me it runs NICE. Oh ya and i made FFXI_Helper like 20 lines instead of a trillion lol. But despite that, here are the reasons I'm not going to release my edited scripts... 1. I did all the hard work instead of asking for a script. 2. In order to make a stand alone AFK bot (highly against ethics) it would bog any normal to moderately above normal system down so far that you would look like a retard if you tried to use it. 3. I know that your going to be AFK botting and thats not something I'm willing to endorse. 4. My script is not a stand alone script, all it does is casts stun on it without me having to tab, after it casts I have programed macros to cast spells yes... BUT still after that there are too many mobs around to just rest and be fine. I have to run into a safe place and rest then come back... OR cast sneak/invis then rest. Now I know what your thinking... "Why don't you make a sneak/invis macro then rest for x amount of time then prepare for next spawn.... It's simple. SNEAK/INVIS wears off randomly... 10 seconds or 10 minutes... I don't care, it's hardly worth the risk. 5. Your just going to take the script, change it to fit your melee job with voke, and still die.. A LOT. Quite simply you cannot afk NM bot unless your only leaving the computer for SMALL amounts of time and you have a 75 job in a 20 area and wont get hit (or something of that degree). My 55BLM will die in around 5-20 minutes of just taking hits if I'm not around. So my advice, make a bot that vokes... GREAT, then learn to make other things as well. I'll give you a hint, I got a great skeleton model off this forum so just spend sometime and read other's posts and you'll be surprized. Sorry for the long and ranting post. But I'm damn proud of my amatuer coding skills (and by the way this is my first project working with FFACT). So yes, it can be done by the newbie with some patience and elbow grease. Thanks!

like i said it will not be a afk bot. i simply dont like people that do afk bot, it is a little bt too cheap in my books. it also ruins the society. i do not want to harm ffxi in anyway at all. but liek i said i am a highschool student and i do take all acedemic courses, so i have alot of homework at night, usually 2-3 hours worth. i would be at my computer running this bot, looking up a t the screen every few minutes, making gil and learning from my homework.

[Izlude]

if you can answer my questions that would be awesome. if you cant, but know where to look that would be amazing also. i am just tryin to learn, and benefit from my learning.
thanks alot,

Please keep in mind that I do not spend every waking hour on these forums. I have a full time job and a life to deal with, so if I don't respond in 5 minutes, thats why. If I wanted to respond instantly to questions, I would give out my AIM info. Thats not going to happen. As for your questions....

1. Navigation is very tricky. I would look into Starhawk's navigation program on the FFACT website. I haven't used it myself, so I dont know the extent of its functionality, but if its by starhawk, it should work. If you want to try it on your own, I would try using the FFACT_Helper position data. The corelation between map coordinates and raw position data isnt known at this time, so its going to be a process of experimentation to get it right. Use a combination of position and heading data to plot courses. This does not take into account obsitcals in your path or getting attacked by mobs. I hope you like math.

2. You can enter pretty much any value (up to +/- 200 billion or so) into the sleep command. A better idea would be to use the system time and date macros that exist within AutoIT.

3. Your character has to be able to see the mob its trying to provoke. There is now way around this without using extremely sophisticated techniques that I am not going to describe. A relatively simple (but fairly obvious to anyone looking at your character) way to solve the field of view problem is to spin around, or make quick 180 degree turns while scanning.

Unfortunately, unless you are REALLY good at this and have alot of programming experiance, building a really slick bot is quite difficult. Good luck.

dang man, thanks anyways though i will look into the whole walking thing. i understand u have a full time job and a life as so do i. where would u get the idea that i didn't?

[TinyTerror]

The double posts suggesting that I can't/won't answer questions. Don't do it. Its anoying >_<

[Izlude]

i am sorry for this, but when did i do it?

[Izlude]

i am getting a auto terror error when i try to run this script. the error is:

Error reading the file:

FFXI_Helper.au3

for some reason i am getting this error, i have even re downloaded the ffhelper.

the code i am using so far is:

;//FFACT enabled voke script example
;//Autoterror and FFXI_Helper are required.
;//By Tinyterror
#include "FFXI_Helper.au3"
$MyTarget=" Ashmaker Gotblut ";
$MyVokeMacro="^1";
StartUpFFACT();
While (ScrollCheck()=1)
FFACT_Update();
If(FFACT_GetTargetName()=$MyTarget) Then
Send($MyVokeMacro);
While(FFACT_GetTargetName()=$MyTarget)
Sleep(2000);
FFACT_Update();
WEnd
Else
Send("{TAB}");
Sleep(100);
EndIf
WEnd

what am i doing wrong?

[TinyTerror]

Are you sure FFXI_Helper is in the same directory as your script? Did you even try to fix it before you posted?

[Izlude]

yeah i tried to fix it tiny, thats why i am here man. i am also having troubles with windower, it wont open pol, even witht he right path and everything. please help me

[Izlude]

ok tiny i have tinkered with it and i have got ffxi windower to work, the file from windower 2.1 all had to be extracted not just lauch.bat. that seemed to solve it.
ok now off to see why the friggin shell of a script u created dont work.

[TinyTerror]

This is what you want to do:

1. move the windower files to C:\windower. You can do this by extracting the rar file to C:\windower.

2. Go to Start->Run. Type "cmd" without the quotes into the run window.

3. A black console window will pop up. Type the following:

c:
cd \
cd windower
launch.bat

4. Right click on the title bar of the window, go to edit, select all. Right click again on the title bar and do edit then copy. Paste the results into a post so I can see what the hell is wrong with your setup


Also include in your post the path to pol.exe.

I'll see what I can do to help you.

[TinyTerror]

Looks like I missed the reply about how you got it to work. Also, don't expect that voke script I posted to work too well. Its an example only and is extremely simple. I dont want to see a thousand posts about how you cant get it to work right. The idea is that you look it over, see how things work, then write your own. If I come back here and see a billion OMFG TINY IT DONT WORK posts, I will be slightly upset.

[Izlude]

no worries man i wont, i may just as for a few helpfull hints i am not gunna use that just study it. i cannot get the windower to work for some reason i was actually trying it to run it while pol was open, just to see if i could get the ms-dos dox to pop up, it does but dont run pol.
i will try ur suggestion and see how it goes.
