I ran the bot for ~14 hours and this is what I got:

Voidstar:
The bot has no issues with this warzone. It detects it perfectly and manages to exit the safe zone every time. Waypoints will fix the only issue with this warzone (running into walls)
Huttball
I didn't actually see what was causing the fails here. Every time I saw it was in Huttball it was fine, except for the aforementioned wall running
. I have a theory on what could be causing the failures and it's covered in detail in the next part. I suspect the bugged spinning might be stopping this to. However this is a guess as I was asleep while this was botting.
Civil War
This one is a bit hard to explain. It detects the warzone with no issue and can leave the safe zone for the first time, but it seems to have a high chance of bugging out when you're in the safe zone on any death. What I've observed is this:
- Character dies
- Bot clicks rez
- The second I spawned from the rez I am stuck spinning on the spot. It appears to bug out and just hold a direction key.
- While spinning it attempts to run it's 2part pathing (ie: forward 1200, left 800) and you obviously end up in the middle of nowhere. So when it tries to detect the speeder with the cursor it can't
I think a way to resolve this, besides way points, would be to code the speeder detection a few more times throughout the War script. Or just have it perma doing it. While running around the room like a **** head the character comes close to the speeder a few times so if the cursor was always checking for a speeder it could make it out.
Misc bugs
Overall the bot is quite good. If you can get it to be stable and functioning then it does it's job. I just wish Empire won more WZ :<
However I did find a couple of annoying things:
- It doesn't appear to accept all crew mission handins. I think this seems to be affected by other things coming on screen at the same time.
- I select rank 5 crew missions and click Save Settings. When I reopen the bot the drop down is back on Rank 1. Not a big issue tbh, but for a while my bot was doing rank 1 before I figured it out
Tips for other people have issues:
If you are having issues I highly recommend you follow every tiny little instruction despite how trivial you think it might be. Glider has a very good guide on things to check but some other things that need to be highlighted:
- Companion Expanded Quickslot Placement can not be Left Quickslot (Preferences > User Interface > Quickbars). I was having issues with crew mission selection and changing this resolved it.
- When the bot says no speed enhancement buffs can be active it literally means that. This includes your spec. I was specced into Obfuscation as an Assassin and would never be able to make the doorway in Huttball. I changed specs and now make the door every time.
- If you have UAC enabled you need to run the bot as Admin.
- Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Also @glider - I used your config file and my bot would never detect huttball. Not sure why.. I re-downloaded and left everything default and my bot started working. Odd!
My config:
Code:
[BotConfig]

; Your pixel tolerance. Don't touch it unless you know what you do.
tolerance=3
; If the bot buy mercenary tokens - Not really tested yet, but it's a feature to buy stuff with your pvp marks if you have too much marks.
buyMercenaryToken=false
; if you have + 15% passif speed skill (Ataru form from jedi) set it to true. By the way, don't activate any +35%speed skill or anything.
