Bigshot: The New Optimus Prime

[Alorn15]

Boreus: Should be fixed. I wish I could test these before I uploaded them. >.>

Sub-Zero: herbheal should fix that problem. One thing you'll have to do though... since the last version of bigshot, the rubber-band effect should work better, but it'll also be going ALL THE TIME. So if a resting script takes you away from the group, you need that script to pause/unpause bigshot while it does so.

[Bhaalizmo]

Much improved man. Whatever was going on that was nearly freezing up stormfront appears to be solved. The tail / head thing is still broke in a new way, but at least I'm not dying before I can kill the script. Here's the error it threw after the tail bolted from the hunting ground without attacking and went to the rest spot.

[go2: travel time: 0:00:01]
--- Lich: go2 has exited.

--- Exception: undefined method `index' for #<ArgumentError: comparison of Time with 15 failed>

[subzero]

Yeah, herbheal would work. I kinda forgot the tail scripts should be working now, but the main reason I overlooked that is because one of my characters is an empath. My rest routine has the empath heal the group and then eventually it goes down to herbheal for rank 2+3 scars. I think I have a workaround for that by just adding another set of heal scripts to run after all the waggling just to double-check. Should cover most of the issues with that, I hope.

[Alorn15]

New version up. Error should be fixed.

Please let me know if tail is still not following. Log would help.

[Bhaalizmo]

Thank you sir.

Testing: Round 1, no errors and the tail stayed with the head. I'm rollin the dice and leavin it runnin while I go take care o some stuff. Will post results.

Edit: Seems stable after a few hours. No problems.

Edit again: The only problem I'm seein is that the head isn't waiting for the tail to get fried before resting. Head / tail still have mana above conditions required to rest, but the head just goes to rest cuz it's got a headfull. Other than that, it's workin great.

[Smythe]

Did I say yet how much I'm lovin' dis?

- Smythe (bork?!)

[Alorn15]

Bhaalizmo - When that happens, what does the tail say was the rest reason? This may not tell us anything, as it could be displaying the reason it lasted the hunt before last... but... ehh....

I need to add a debug mode.

[Bhaalizmo]

Well, I'm scrolling back thru there and I can't see where the tail says any reason for resting. The bigshot commands I see on the tail are...

| event: ATTACK
| event: skipping attack because it's stale (because the head ran us back to rest)
| event: HUNTING_SCRIPTS_STOP
| event: RESTING_PREP_COMMANDS
| event: RESTING_SCRIPTS_START
| event: DISPLAY_WATCH
| event: skipping_display_witch because it's stale

And that's it till the next hunt.
| event: HUNTING_PREP_COMMANDS
| event: CAST_SIGNS
and so on

The head says
| Bigshot: last rested because: fried

and when the head ran off to rest before the tail was fried it just says
| Bigshot resting

Edit: Oh and every once in awhile it'll still do that thing where it starts running around and not attacking stuff it had previously attacked without a problem. Stopping / restarting the tail and head seems to fix this easily enough, but I think it could result in running around all night not killing anything.

[Fatsix]

I dont think wait for enemy to swing is figured into the group hunting? They just walk in and swing away, without the critter swinging first. Solo hunting it waits...

[Alorn15]

Resting for tail wounds should be fixed.

There's a known minor bug in wait for swing that might be causing that, Fatsix. May be able to address it later tonight.

[Bhaalizmo]

Thank you sir for your hard work. Downloaded. Testing. Will report with results.

Nothing major to report. Any problems I'm experiencing at this point are related to other scripts.

[Alorn15]

Alright...

- Head should only add one event attack per room, this should cut down on MA issues in general I hope, as this number could conceivably be in the thousands
- Tweaked wait for swing a bit

Please let me know if these claims are refutable and extravagant.

[AMUSED1]

Could we add a tweak/option for Bigshot to ignore other characters in your group so it doesn't think they're other hunters in the area?

Or maybe even add a box to put the names of characters that Bigshot ignores as not being another hunter in the area?

For example, I want to run Bigshot on one character, and have another character in my group just healing the Bigshot character with a non-Lich script that I prefer to use. But right now when I do it Bigshot just thinks the other character is another hunter in the area and doesn't kill anything.

[subzero]

The latest bigshot isn't doing so well:



| event: ATTACK
[bigshot]>leave group
You leave XXXX's group.
Your group status is already closed.

It does this on each tail character after the head takes the group to the hunting area and begins the attack. The head stays and hunts though.

[Alorn15]

What do the tails do after that? They should run back to town and give an error message....

[Boreus]

Ok DL the new version this morning and took my wizard out, he ran out of mana and didn't have any wands so I got the normal | ERROR: Couldn't find fresh wand. Gonna rest. only instead of going off to rest he kept trying to get a wand and that message kept spamming until I got a mana pulse and was able to cast again. But then the critter ran out of the room and bigshot went into rest mode even though I now still had enough mana. So I'm guessing it was from being set to rest from the first can't find wand but rest didn't kick in because the critter was not doing anything or something like that.

[Gilralyn]

On this new version, my "wait 25, kill target" routine doesn't trigger on any attacks. It just rides out the 25 seconds then starts attacking. This is running in solo mode.

By amazing chance, you evade the attack!

[Alorn15]

hmm, took out the wait for swing change. hope that was the culprit. will look into what was actually up later.

[Gilralyn]

Yep. That fixed it. Thanks.

[Alorn15]

I added a nudgeweapons hunting command. Basically itll pick up all weapons in the room and move them to an adjacent room. Helpful with 1002. It uses sheath/gird if you need a free hand... I should maybe change that to stow/get using item id.

[Boreus]

AA bit more on the out of mana error with no wand if the critter swings at me and I dodge it keeps erroring but if it connects it goes to rest

[Cyprion]

Created a little wizard and he just got haste. I put incant 506 for the prehunt then have haste in the hunting script. Works great at refreshing haste, as long as he has mana during the hunt. My question though, is there a way for bigshot to not cast haste until it sees the first critter? This probably wont be an issue down the road, but now i spend half my mana before the game ever spawns the first critter.

Not a real issue, just curious if i am missing something to make it wait to cast haste.

[Cyprion]

Just got home and ran bigshot and now getting the below after updating. It seems to keep spamming attacks after some kills. And won't stop until I manually search it. Seems like it happens whenever something happens between the kill and the loot.

[Wehnimer's, Tunnel]
The walls of this low stone tunnel are covered with a glowing, grey lichen that makes your eyes strain and gives your skin an eerie, pallid cast. The damp, close air is warmer here than you would have expected, but the lingering chill of the unknown stays with you. A stone stairway, appearing to turn sharply, breaches one wall of the room. You also see a giant rat and a giant rat.

[Bhaalizmo]

Still not caring if the tail gets fried. Other than that, working great.

Thx Alorn

[Boreus]

Still getting stuck when I should be resting and the critter isn't dead or hitting me, not just the wand thing either I got it for a head shot that wouldn't let me cast earlier

[Alorn15]

Cyprion - You need to change 'kill rat' to 'kill target'

Bigshot will now kill all valid targets in the room before looting/gathering ammo. That's why 'kill rat' was working before, but not now.

Boreus - Should be fixed now.

Also Bigshot will now flee from clouds. I'm wondering if this should be configurable?

[pabstblueribbon]

Yes. Some have access to call wind and run a script to watch for clouds....

[Boreus]

OK the new version has an error in line 763 seems like changing && !should_rest ) to && !should_rest? ) fixes thar error and let's bigshot run but it runs without attacking

[Alorn15]

Should be fixed.

[Omrii]

I'm curious what the fix was. After I got it running by modifying line 763, I ended up in the valid_target function. I changed part of that to true and got it to start attacking again, but it wasn't using a target. This is what I get for trying to troubleshoot code I hardly understand. Heh

--Omrii

[eeky]

So just download bigshot again for newer version?

[Boreus]

You Rock

[Jaimaltz]

Bigshot will now kill all valid targets in the room before looting/gathering ammo. That's why 'kill rat' was working before, but not now.


One issue I noticed:

When there's multiple creatures in the room it doesn't seem to perform it's checks for mana levels or mind state. Once I'm out of mana I'll get dozens of these lines per second:

[bigshot: cast: not enough mana]

It'll then hang until I get a mana pulse, then once that's up, it continues until I eventually don't have a creature in the room. Some of the corpses are rotting before it loots them.

Thanks Alorn.

[Alorn15]

Jaimaltz - Have you tried the newest update?

Omrii - The fix was adding paranthesis to line 763 for logical precedence.

[Jaimaltz]

I had been using a version I downloaded around 6pm last night. I'll update and see if that helps, thank you.

[Boreus]

Ok I haven't been using the MA mode lately but I tried it today and it keeps doing this

event: ATTACK
[bigshot]>leave group
You leave Lasek's group.
Your group status is already closed.

And then sometimes I'll just stand there and others I do a bunch of running around before I come back to the hunting area and just stand there

Hmmm. It should take the tail back to the resting spot, and then display the error that caused that to happen... Without knowing that error, it's hard to say what's wrong.

Try the one I just uploaded?

Went back out caught the head and joined him until we found a critter andit did the same thing again

the only thing I can think is maybe because I use my wizard as a baggage cart since Encumbereance doesn't effect his casting and I don't have encumberance set for him?

[Alorn15]

Awesome. Thanks. One sec...

[Some Rogue]

I've been getting the same thing on the new version of Bigshot.

[Alorn15]

Looks like that's not the newest version. New one is up, version is 2.015. Let me know if the problem is solved please. At the very least a more helpful error message should be displayed.

[Vlinch]

Oh... Sorry about the unhelpfullness of the error message, but that was copied straight off of my screen...

[pabstblueribbon]

He's saying he put in a debug message that will help him determine where its breaking, not that your post was bad.

[Vlinch]

oh right right right. Sorry. And yes, this new version seems to work great! Thank you for this wonderful program. :-)

[Alorn15]

Heh. Yeah, thanks for clarification PBR.

[Inspire]

Just tried using this in the MA version for the first time. Once I set it up correctly, it's quite amazing.

I have so much fun just watching my little duo go to work.

[Heller]

Is there a way to have Bigshot log you out of the game on death, instead of waiting till after you decay?

[JohnDoe]

Still having some problems using my GoS signs. I have the following entered for the society/cman setting in the Hunting tab: 9605, 9705, 9704, 9707, 9708, 9710, 9711.

If I'm on a long hunt and my mana gets low, it'll still go ahead and cast the GoS signs causing me to use too much mana and blow my nerves out. Anyone else have this problem?

[Alorn15]

Inspire - Bigshot uses the 'ready ammo' command, which I don't know the ins and outs of... Not sure why it's failing for you, but did you specifically set your ammo to be in the bundle in your container?

JohnDoe - Can you search your bigshot.lic for def cast_signs and paste that code?

Heller - Dead man's switch should do that. Actually it should log you off before you die, at 39% health. But it's been acting funky ever since I made it a thread as opposed to a start_exec_script. I'll ask Tillmen what's up.

[JohnDoe]

JohnDoe - Can you search your bigshot.lic for def cast_signs and paste that code?


def cast_signs()
@SIGNS.each do |i|
i = i.to_i
next if i == 9918
next if i == 9603 && Spell[9604].active?
next if i == 9605 && Spell[9606].active?
sign = Spell[i]

if( !sign.active? && sign.affordable? )
if( i == 9805 )
2.times { sign.cast }
else
while(1)
result = sign.cast
break if result !~ /Spell Hindrance/ || !sign.affordable?
end
end
end
end
end

Any chance it's not registering that mana/stamina has been used because it's issuing the affordable? command before GS registers and execute each of the sigils that's being cast and their mana/stamina impact? I've actually had my muscles *POP* a few times too - not often at all, but that may be because I have quite a bit of stamina.

[LordRaven]

what do you configure for the target of your tail guy if he is just there to cast supporting spells at the head guy?

[Alorn15]

Just configure his should_rest? tab to always be true. Then you can run an active hunting script, or use the fried hunting commands. You'll probably want to include the sleep command in fried hunting commands.

[LordRaven]

Sweet thank you.

[Alorn15]

JohnDoe -

I talked to Tillmen about this. Basically the issue is that cmans/sigils are currently using older lich code than signs. In order to convert the cmans/sigils, Tillmen needs a list of all possible responses when typing a sigil.

So for cman surge, this would be:
1) Regular messaging
2) Messaging when you're still in the cooldown
3) Muscles are too achey messaging
4) ?? I believe that's all?

And the same for every single sigil. If someone wants to generate this list I'll do the other half of the work.

[Alorn15]

Updated to identify/ignore untargetable creatures. e.g. spirit servants.

I also put something back into wait for swing that really should be there, but seemed to break it before? Basically I put in a call to clear() before the wait_for_swing method is called. This way it won't trigger off stale swings in the buffer. I dunno... it works for me. Let me know if it's now broken for you.

[Alorn15]

The decision to flee from clouds is now configurable.

[Inspire]

Inspire - Bigshot uses the 'ready ammo' command, which I don't know the ins and outs of... Not sure why it's failing for you, but did you specifically set your ammo to be in the bundle in your container?


There were two different types of arrows in the room. Bought from different stores.

I don't have all sigils yet, but I'll see what I can do. Surge is below. Hopefully this is what you were looking for:

1) Initial surge:
>cman surge
You focus deep within yourself, searching for untapped sources of strength.
You feel a great deal stronger.

2) Going into recovery:
You begin to lose touch with your internal sources of strength.

3) Fully recovered:
Your internal strength fully recovers from your most recent attempt to tap into it.

4) Surging again while cman surge is still in affect
>cman surge
You focus deep within yourself, searching for untapped sources of strength that are not yet exhausted from your still recent prior attempt.
You feel a great deal stronger.

5) Message that makes you *POP*

Separate feedback - similar to the issues with trolls and cyclops I mentioned in previous posts, pounding of a fist doesn't seem to register as an attack. Example of a krynch below doing this.

Wait for swing should be smarter. I know I say that a lot.

[Valdarrow]

I've been using an older version of bigshot, but decided to update my work computer with the most current version. I use bigshot in an MA mode. One thing I noticed right away was there's been a change to how bigshot reacts when the two are separated. I've had to restart the script a few times and manually merge the two (getting to the current hunting area involves climbing and there's a delay between the two). In the past bigshot would have the head wait at the starting room point, then the tail would arrive a few seconds later and they'd join and start the hunt. The problem may, in part, be owing to group_ajar's need to open the group and allow them to join. Here's an example of what I'm seeing:

>
Snacks tried to join your group, but your group status is closed. Click GROUP OPEN to let him join you.

Sometimes the tail will kind of give up thinking it's not found the head and just run off to the starting room, then back again spamming the attempt to join. Kind of funny to watch but not very productive.

[Valdarrow]

So as I posted above, the tail is having trouble joining back up to the head when they split up. This is what also happens at times, it only started doing this since I updated bigshot, but it almost seems as if the problem is with go2 (going to fast, it overflows the type ahead buffer):

What version is this Valdarrow? Also can you paste what it looks like from the tail side when the tail is joining the leader? (e.g. I want to see the "join snacks" command.)

[Valdarrow]

The version should be the most current one, I've replaced it with an older version for now, one I'd archived and things are working again. Here's one view of it from the tail's side (different instance where they lost each other, but same thing going on):

Make sure your attack spell is the correct spell (and not 401)....

I'm having the same issue Valdarrow reported above. (tail spamming join commands to the head)

Thx for your hard work Alorn

Thx for your hard work Alorn

Yes, thank you for all you do Alorn. I really appreciate this program, and if you have a paypal account, I will donate some $ for you. This program must take a lot of time and work.

[hectomaner]

just downloaded bigshot again, after i had deleted lich directory. noticed no more group tab. how do i set up group stuff now?

do i just fill out each person separately and run the normal head and tail?

[Alorn15]

Vlinch: copy and paste ;bigshot display

Also the tail spamming join should be fixed, and I changed looting to be after each creature again. And head should pause after go2 again.

Are there still issues with tails not being checked for their mind state?

[Bhaalizmo]

Thank you sir. Downloaded, testing now. Will report results.

Edit: So far, two hunts in. No group join spamming from tail / head. No sign of the head resting with tail unfried at this point either. Might be fixed. Will do more testing.

[Alorn15]

Buzzofthoughts: What's your version? A bug that would cause this was fixed a few days ago.

[Boreus]

I don't think that's the bug that causing the spamming that's simply because with the -1 mana your not going to go rest if your out of mana so unless you reach fried or wounded or some other reason to rest your jut going to keep trying to attack and you are out of mana so it's going to tell you hey your out of mana can't attack

[Alorn15]

Oh, yeah. By the way, does wracking work now?

[Liagala]

I posted an issue here (http://www.forum.gsplayers.com/showpost.php?p=1125406&postcount=195) about sloot not looting critters when there's still one alive in the room. We looked into it some this morning, and it seems to be an issue with Bigshot not calling Sloot, rather than Sloot not working. If I type in ;sloot it loots just fine, no matter how many live things are in the room. Any idea why this might be happening? Here's the display output, if that helps.

This is still a problem I'm afraid. Just witnessed the head taking the group back to rest when the tail was still only muddled.

Side question: When I cast 702, I go to stance guarded (not offensive), and when I cast 712, I cast it at a critter instead of myself. Am I doing something wrong?

[Inspire]

Will you change:


def cmd_ranged(npc)
waitrt?
sleep 0.25

fput 'get 1 my arrow'
result = dothistimeout(
"fire ##{npc.id}",
2,
/You fire|Could not find|seconds/
)
if( result =~ /^Could not find/ )
#$bigshot_should_rest = true
#$rest_reason = "Out of ammo"
gather_ammo
elsif( result =~ /but it has no effect/ )
$bigshot_should_rest = true
$rest_reason = "Ammo had no effect (need blessed or magical)"
elsif ( result == false )
$bigshot_should_rest = true
$rest_reason = "Unknown result from fire routine: #{result}"
end
end




READY AMMO doesn't work well with sloot. Sloot will pick up the arrow and put it away, but it won't put it back into a bundle, so bigshot stops working because it can't find a bundle of arrows (ready ammo) to pull from.

[Rinualdo]

I'm trying to get a much higher level wizard to tail my main guy, then 410 and 912 once when the main guy swings, then wait until a new critter enters the room or we move rooms.

I'm also trying to get it so when the main guy is has a full head, they both go back to the resting spot. I can't seem to figure out the mind numbers for the tail wizard.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just a guess here, Vlinch, but try taking those defensive spells out of the signs field. I don't really think they're supposed to be in there and I suppose that could be causing an issue. Also, as a caster, there probably isn't much need for the "wait 30" in the hunting commands.

[Alorn15]

Liagala - Should be fixed.
Inspire - Changed.
Vlinch - This was a REALLY bad bug. I died from it earlier. Maybe twice. Should be fixed now. As for your side questions... you might try looking at spell-list.xml.txt and see if the information there looks correct for those two spells? I would say you're doing it correctly. (Although don't you want it to be 702 target? I don't know these things.)

[Boreus]

Not sure what's up didn't change my settings but I DL the new version and now when I do bigshot solo it readies my weapons then comes up --- Lich: exec1 active. and just sits there until I kill exec1 Works fine after that just not sure what it's trying to start.

Where would defensive spells go then? The field is labeled "society abilities/spells/cmans:" in the Hunting tab... I don't see another tab for "Defensive Spells"

Also, I'm waiting 30 because I want to try and stance dance for 702 as it does more power in stance offensive then stance guarded. (along with channeling which causes hard RT)

(Although don't you want it to be 702 target? I don't know these things.)

spell-list.xml.txt looks correct, but 712 is a defensive buff that is cast on one's self. The "attack" happens as a defensive flare when the player gets hit by an attack. Also, just having "702" in the attack window seems to work, I still attack the critters without having "702 target" (Did you get a chance to look at the auto stance guarded for the 702 attack? https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=6#702 says: Other factors that can affect the damage done include casting with open hands, stance, and the target's condition. So it would be nice to have this spell stance dance like swinging a sword does.) Thank you for your hard work! :-)

[Alorn15]

Boreus - Were you using depart/rerun? I can see why that would happening if so. Should be fixed now. EDIT: Or even if you weren't, actually.
Vlinch - For 702, try this: stance off and 702 target. For 712... I think the issue is that it's listed in spell-list.xml.txt as defense/attack. Can you change it to just defense, and try that? Be sure and include a log.

[Urinal Poops]

What i'm looking to do is Kill Shattered_empath/Healbot before I hunt and turn them back on as I rest. Unfortunately these scripts dont have an end and I cant seem to do it without freezing up Bigshot. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not sure how Ruby works, but couldn't you just do just use something in the room description of one of the adjacent rooms of where you're healing to trigger the command to kill the script. Then, just use something in the room description of where you're resting to trigger the start of the script.

Let's say you're healing in TSC. Bigshot activates and upon entering TSNW something in the room description triggers the command that kills Shattered_empath/Healbot. Then, when you go back to your resting area something simple triggers the command to start them back up.

[Smythe]

don' kill it. Jes' pause it.


Pre-hunt script


pause_script("healbot")


Pre-rest script


unpause_script("healbot")


An' done. 'course, ya can always do more, too!

[Alorn15]

What all prevents a person from changing stances? Change_stance will now recognize if you have 1617 active, but I want to get everything else while I'm here.

[Gilralyn]

Some mobs cast berserk/rage or something on you that prevents you from changing stances, so bigshot spams the change stance command. Here's the string you get when you try to change stance:



Your rage causes you to use all of your skill in an all out attack! You are unable to change your stance.


I could not see a spell # associated with the effect using ;magic, although a spell did show up under my regular Stormfront Active Spells window.

I am not sure if this helps or not...

[Alorn15]

Is that all one line?

Updated. Shouldn't spam stances if you're under the effect of 216 or 1617. Wait for swing stuff. And uh... I think that's it. I dunno.

I want to do a force command that executes commands until you get at least specified end roll. Like...
force 1005 target till 101

[Gilralyn]

Yep. It's all one line.

[subzero]

Where would defensive spells go then? The field is labeled "society abilities/spells/cmans:" in the Hunting tab... I don't see another tab for "Defensive Spells"

Also, I'm waiting 30 because I want to try and stance dance for 702 as it does more power in stance offensive then stance guarded. (along with channeling which causes hard RT)

Guess I never noticed the spells part in there. I always thought it was more for short duration society-type things. I use waggle in my rest routine to spell up, so I never paid much attention to it, obviously. As far as the waiting goes, that would make sense if you're channeling. I don't like channeling when I'm AT the computer, much less when I'm not... and RT can cause some issue at times when MAing with bigshot :(



I am still having this problem. I have changed my oom % to 2 and to 10, and it continues to spam

[bigshot: cast: not enough mana]
[bigshot: cast: not enough mana]
[bigshot: cast: not enough mana]
[bigshot: cast: not enough mana]
[bigshot: cast: not enough mana]
[bigshot: cast: not enough mana]

when I don't have enough mana for 916. Starscream just goes to rest when this happens, Bigshot will never go rest. It will just spam til I get a pulse to cast, then repeat ad nauseum.

Try putting some mana checks for your spells. I had the spam issue a while back and have not had a problem with it since. It won't send you to rest if you aren't able to reach your mana threshold, but you could work around that by dropping to lower level spells that would eventually take you down to the desired level of mana. Here's what I use on one of my guys:

"1106 target(m20), 1101 target(m1)(xx)"

If you want to wait for a pulse so you can leech rather than run back to rest, just make it "516 target(m16)(x1)" (thinking you meant leech here, and it's been a while, but I believe 516 is the right one).

[Alorn15]

Buzzofthoughts, can you copy/paste a ;bigshot display? Also what's your total mana?

Edit: Also, if I've just killed a critter and haven't searched it yet before another one walks in, sloot runs fine, head starts attacking and tail just watches the kill. This is consistent. The tail will not attack in this scenario.

[Rinualdo]

Any thoughts on this?

[Liagala]

Any thoughts on this?
I'm not sure Bigshot is equipped to handle this sort of thing. Where the wizard is much higher level, my guess is he gets absolutely 0 experience - but if you put 0 in the box, he'll just immediately run back to town. Maybe you could write a wizard or SF script (or lich one, if you're decent at that) on your own for the wizard? Just match [ for a new room, or whatever lines you want him to cast on, cast the spell, then go back to the match to wait again?

Meh, the best I know for scripting is

I'll see if I can poke around with something though.

My scripting experience is almost all SF/Wizard, so I can't touch Lich yet. But for either of the other two, this would work:


Start:
match Cast [
match Cast (messaging when your guy swings)
match Cast (messaging when critter arrives)
match Cast (different messaging when critter arrives, becase they aren't all the same)
match Cast (yet another set of messaging, if necessary. Keep repeating different "match Cast (messaging) lines until you have them all in)
match Restart IDLE TOO LONG
matchwait

Restart:
put exp
goto Start

Cast:
put prep (spell you want him to prep)
put cast at (person you want him to cast at)
goto Start

Just run that script on your wizard, make sure he's in your head character's group, and make sure his name is in the Bigshot "You hunt with these people, don't count them for poaching" box (note, I don't MA with Bigshot, I have no idea how that works).

[Alorn15]

Rinauldo - Post ;bigshot display for both head and tail.

Bhaalizmo - I believe that basically means "Head's connection to tail over the localhost died. For some reason. Or vise versa." Sorry, not terribly helpful. That's on head?

[Bhaalizmo]

Yessir. That was on the head.

[Cyprion]

Is it possible to have the society abilities casted once you arrived at the hunting area instead of before the go2 portion?

I've tried a couple different variants and not had any luck.

[Bhaalizmo]

Ok I just did some testing with bigshot MA mode. It works fine for me and my alt when both run from the same computer. I had a friend join his char to the group and duplicate my bigshot settings and start a tail, before I started the head. For some reason it just gets to the hunting ground and doesn't attack anything. Do you think it's a settings difference, or is this just not expected to work in this manner? IE: Is it only for multi-accounting, and not for group hunting?

Hmm, what do you have set for ammo, and what does it end up putting?

[Alorn15]

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

If bigshot had a command to repeat an attack till the endroll exceeds a certain number, what attacks would you use the command with? You must include a log of the attack or your answer is meaningless to me.

The command would look like this: 'force 1002 until 101'. E.g. keep casting vibration chant until I know I've disarmed the creature.

[ThadJarvis]

Any chance of getting a field for "Things to do before going to rest?" that can take scripts as input?

for example, if you use the current field that allows you to send commands before resting, it executes once you've gone to the room you have set as your rest area. I'd like a field to add things in before going to the rest area.

Any chance of having this added in the future at some point?

Thanks as always for Bigshot. It is a great script!

[Bhaalizmo]

I know it's been mentioned, but perhaps not with these specifics.

I'd love to see an option for "use sigil of power if mana < __ and stamina > __"

Inspire -

It does not call 'ready ammo' anymore. I'm trying to figure out what you meant when you said that this does not work:
fput "get 1 my ##{@AMMO.sub(/s$/, '')}"

To fix the issue I need to know the result of this statement and what your settings are when this result occurs.

Rinauldo - It already does. There is inevitably the chance that a monster will spawn between the points where it decides to move and does move. Updated to lessen that chance a bit though.

[Alorn15]

Bhaalizmo - Updated to include that...

Also I still want to figure out the tail fried issue. Do you have VNC setup by chance? I feel like the next step is to put in some pretty verbose debugging messages, cause I really don't have a clue as to what's up.

[Alorn15]

What is it putting? What is the line before "Get what?"

[Inspire]

I can't see it, either I don't have it turned on right or it's an ignored string.

Err, it was ignored, everything bigshot is ignored.

I'll tell you next update since I fixed it on my side to work.

A bit late, but I had the same issue. I replaced
fput "get 1 my ##{@AMMO.sub(/s$/, '')} with fput "get 1 my #{@AMMO.sub(/s$/, '')} and Bigshot correctly gets the ammo I specify. Before hand Bigshot was trying to "get 1 my #wooden arrow...".


fput "get 1 my ##{@AMMO.sub(/s$/, '')}"
result = dothistimeout(
"fire ##{npc.id}",
2,
/You fire|Could not find|seconds/
)
if( result =~ /^Could not find/ )
#$bigshot_should_rest = true
#$rest_reason = "Out of ammo"
gather_ammo
elsif( result =~ /but it has no effect/ )
$bigshot_should_rest = true
$rest_reason = "Ammo had no effect (need blessed or magical)"
elsif ( result == false )
$bigshot_should_rest = true
$rest_reason = "Unknown result from fire routine: #{result}"
end
end


This doesn't work.


If I change it to:

fput "get 1 my arrow"

It works fine.

[Miscast]

Hi, is there a way to include in Bigshot Starscream's "Wait for enemy to attack before executing commands" check feature? Or could I please request its inclusion in the next Bigshot update?

[Fortybox]

Hey Alorn,

I am having problems with the new version of bigshot. I have made sure to keep my settings as close as possible too.

The script gets hung up when I come back to rest. Basically the tail guy freaks out and starts spamming go2 directions all over the place. I have tried changing the order of the rest scripts, taking some out, adding others in, etc. I even tried putting in a script to pause the tail while the head does it's thing and then to unpause after the head finishes.

Am I doing something wrong? I do ;bigshot tail on one guy and then ;bigshot head on the other. Hunting with both of them is great! It's just the resting part that messes it all up.

[Khariz]

Hi, is there a way to include in Bigshot Starscream's "Wait for enemy to attack before executing commands" check feature? Or could I please request its inclusion in the next Bigshot update?

This. I don't want a numerical field. I literally would like it to wait until the mob swings, and then me attack back.

[Khariz]

Any chance of getting a field for "Things to do before going to rest?" that can take scripts as input?

for example, if you use the current field that allows you to send commands before resting, it executes once you've gone to the room you have set as your rest area. I'd like a field to add things in before going to the rest area.

Any chance of having this added in the future at some point?

Thanks as always for Bigshot. It is a great script!

Question...why don't you run those scripts AFTER you get to the resting area and make a new one that at the end of all the errands runs you BACK to the resting area?

[Alorn15]

You guys realize that in the command 'wait 30' the 30 is just a timeout, right? As in, it'll wait till the creature swings, or 30 seconds, whichever comes first. If you think 30 is too short, do 90, but surely you want it to time out eventually?

Fortybox - Ill try and look at this tonight. Feel free to IM me. (alexx1523)

actually, no. Has it always been this way? If so, I feel really stupid right now, and I apologize.

Edit oh, I see, that's the command and how its been since you took the field out. Thanks, sorry for the stupidity.

[Alorn15]

No worries :)

[Bhaalizmo]

stuff wrong with latest version.

I'm with Fortybox on this one, the latest version has a few MA issues. If the tail doesn't get lost during the hunt (30% of the time) they'll often wack out at rest (25% of the time) and run around joining the head, and running off. This latest version hasn't gotten me a single successful overnite afk hunt. I'm available for testing whenever you're around. I appreciate your script and the work you've done on it and continue to do supporting it.

Thanks.

[Tgo01]

Bigshot is a great script and I thank you for all the work you've done on it.

Just a couple of things I noticed though. My bard hunts with sonic disruption (1030) which costs 30 mana for the first cast but afterward only costs 20 mana to cast again and 10 mana to cast at one critter with 15 ranks of manipulation lore. Bigshot assumes the spell always costs 30 mana to cast.

Also for only 20 mana he can cast it at every critter in the room so if there is more than one critter in the room with him it only makes sense for him to open cast it rather than focus casting it. Open casting also hits players though.

Perhaps there is a way to do all of this and I just don't know how to do it or if you've already address this issue before. Either way sorry for wasting your time.

[Cyprion]

How often does the health part of bigshot run? I copied the line you posted awhile back. Does it check constantly, before/after an attack, or after being hit?

[Alorn15]

Tgo01: I think that there is some work to be done for pure bards. I believe that 1030 is eccentric enough to need it's own code, and cannot be utilized effectively with the generic bigshot cast_this_spell method (that's not really the name of the method, by the way.) It needs to know when to go focused vs. open, when to renew vs. not. Potentially unravel needs to get worked in.

I am very interested in this getting done, as my bard will be switching to pure in a month or so. If you want to write it, I can include it. If you can't write it, we could still chat about how it should be written.

Cyprion - It's called between creatures, or between attack routines, whichever comes first. So if your attack routine is simply 'kill target', then it would be called between each swing.

[Bhaalizmo]

It will hang if a creature walks away, and you have an arrow in your hand.

[Alorn15]

Bhaalizmo - What do your settings look like? I think you might have ammo configured for wands, and that setting isn't applicable to wands.

Inspire - Should be fixed.

There's also a new command: force x until x
e.g. force 1002 until 101

This will force a command until a desired endroll is reached. It'll only work with normal-appearing swings/casts, and cmans. Hopefully cmans. I didn't test cmans.

i think you just put

or something like that, it will wait 10 seconds before executing the kill commands, OR it will wait until the critter swings and then do it early.

[Jaimaltz]

Is there a way to change bigshot settings from the command line? I'm feeling a bit ambitious and want to attempt writing a bigshot loader script where I'd try to load bigshot settings according to the bounty I got. I'd probably just hardcode the settings as profile1, profile2, etc. inside the loader script, then use some matching logic to decide which profile to load based on the creature I got tasked with from the adventure guild.

If bigshot doesn't allow a command line option, is there any way for another script to access and edit bigshot's settings directly?

I do this now with SBounty. Just use UserVars.op. It's all in there.

[Inspire]

I do this now with SBounty. Just use UserVars.op. It's all in there.

Sbounty?

[SpiffyJr]

Sbounty?

Yes, SBounty, my bounty script that changes my hunting ground in bigshot based on what bounty I get. It does gems, skins, heirlooms, kills, dangerous creatures, and soon child rescues. I'm only releasing it to a few people and the Marlu guys aren't going to be on the list - sorry.

[Jaimaltz]

Got it working, thanks for the tip Spiffy!

I feel like an idiot for it taking me this long to figure it out. I was trying to do stupid stuff like:

start_script("settings", [ "change", "op", "<giant copy and paste from the op settings>" ])

(don't actually do that, it breaks badly and you have to redo all your bigshot settings)

Basically Bigshot has a bunch of keys, but the only ones I need to switch hunting grounds is hunting_boundaries and hunting_room_id.

The command to change them is something along the lines of this:

stuff = "3281, 3282, 3283"
UserVars.op['hunting_boundaries'] = stuff

Same principle for other settings.

So I've got that part working, the rest should be downhill from here. I just have to write the script to stop bigshot, do some matching on my current bounty, stick the right data into a variable, add them with uservars, finish resting, and restart bigshot.

I have sbounty setup to work as a bigshot rest script. The way bigshot works you can change the UserVars on the fly and still have it switch hunting grounds while Bigshot is still running.

[Alorn15]

I have sbounty setup to work as a bigshot rest script. The way bigshot works you can change the UserVars on the fly and still have it switch hunting grounds while Bigshot is still running.

That's not true. When you start bigshot it instantiates a bigshot object which sucks in UserVars.op and creates instance variables using that stuff. It only does this once.

[Jaimaltz]

That's not true. When you start bigshot it instantiates a bigshot object which sucks in UserVars.op and creates instance variables using that stuff. It only does this once.

When you exit bigshot, does it perform a "save" on the settings?

If not, I'm thinking I could leave my script as is. Then I'd just run a bigshotreload script at the end of my resting scripts list which would just stop bigshot, rest until clear/full of mana, then rerun bigshot solo.

[Alorn15]

Hmm. Are you asking if bigshot backports the settings back to UserVars.op?

If so, no.

[naps]

Anyway you can prevent getting hung up on the gates in Vaalor? Having your hands full will cause a 15 second rt, and usually, everything gets confused and my guy idles out.

[SpiffyJr]

Seems to be working for me... that's odd.

I think that's a go2 issue.

Yeah. Didn't think about that til you said it. Don't guess there's a way to have Bigshot stow left before heading back to rest is there?

[SpiffyJr]

Seems to be working for me... that's odd.

I stand corrected...

[Drisco]

Is there any ways to make Bigshot kill a certain creature first.

Say you are killing Roltons, and Orcs also hunt here. You enter a room with a Rolton and a Orc, is there any way to make bigshot kill the Orc first? Or if a Orc enters a room to stop killing the Rolton and start on the Orc.

Pretty sure that's based on the way you order your targets. So what you'd want to do to kill orcs before roltons is, "orc, rolton". I'd test it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

[JohnDoe]

That's not true. When you start bigshot it instantiates a bigshot object which sucks in UserVars.op and creates instance variables using that stuff. It only does this once.

Yeah - once I adjust hunting ground, creatures, etc. via my bounty script manager, I need to kill bigshot and restart for those settings to take. This works well for dangerous, cull, heirloom, rescues, skins, and so on. Need to be careful doing the dangerous bounties as your other bigshot settings may make you run away before you get a chance to hit/kill the grizzly/ancient creature when it appears.

[Alorn15]

I feel like the appropriate way to go about this is to use bigshot as an object.

e.g.:


loop {
my_bounty = get_bounty()
import_bs_settings(my_bounty, bs)
bs = Bigshot.new
bs.hunt()
}


Now... currently this won't work, because bs.hunt() will call bs.rest(). But that's just because I never really thought anyone would use bigshot as an object. I could change that, and other things that would facilitate this.

That's essentially how I'm using bigshot right now - as my hunting engine (hunting boundaries, sigil/sign management, attack style based on creature type, and so on). I manage resting, bounties, selling, and other things via my main script(s). Changing BS settings and reloading BS has worked great so far. But, I can see it being useful to be able to create a bigshot object to provide more control.

[Liagala]

I have 506 as one of the spells/abilities to keep going during a hunt. Bigshot keeps trying to cast it when it's still active, sometimes 2 or 3 times, and wasting mana. Is there a way for me to slow it down and make it wait for the spell to fall off?

When this happens, does infomon think you have 506 up?

;magic

[Liagala]

When this happens, does infomon think you have 506 up?

;magic
Nope. Infomon thinks 506 has already fallen. That would be why bigshot gets confused then. According to infomon 506 lasts a flat 60 seconds, but ;circle says it actually increases some with MjE training. Any idea how to update infomon? Typing skills base did no good.

Edit:
I also have it set not to cast unless I have at least 13 mana - 506(m13) in the box - but it just cast it when I only had 10.

[Alorn15]

Tillmen says he broke it and he'll fix it. EDIT: Fixed with an update to lich.

As far as 506(m13) goes... you can't do that with signs. Only hunting commands. It's something I could add, until then the best solution is to stop caring or put it in a hunting script. :)

[Liagala]

Thanks to you and Tillmen for the lich update. For the mana check on signs issue, I'll just set bigshot to send me back when my mana drops below what I'd need to set my assorted abilities off. I'd love to see it added in a future update, but that'll solve the problem for now.

New bigshot. Bug fixed that would cause infinite loop.

I'll take a look at the stance stuff later.

[Alorn15]

Oops. I screwed that up. Fixed now.

[Alorn15]

Alright, fixed so that it won't get stuck trying to change stance. If you run into a pause when it tries to change stance but can't, post a log and I'll fix it for that spell/effect.

As far as the tempest thing goes... I'm told that they just follow you anyway, so you'd have to run back to town. Or kill the caster, in which case you don't want to run. If you really want to run back to town, make a hunting script that monitors GameObj.loot for tempests, and sets $bigshot_should_rest to true.

[JohnDoe]

Have recently integrated feint into my hunting routine using the force command: force cman feint target until 101. Works great, but if my stamina is low it'll still issue the feint command and POP my muscles. Something I can do to prevent this?

Separate topic - I'm using friendlyspells. Any way to extend it so that we can use armor specializations?

[Alorn15]

1. Anyone mind if I change it so that signs/sigils/spells are cast BEFORE moving to your hunting ground? Currently it is after.
2. MA stuff: That looks fixable. What I'm interested to know is how often you have to deal with losing your tail?
3. JohnDoe: Warrior feint or cman? What's the command? How much stamina does it cost?

[JohnDoe]

1. Anyone mind if I change it so that signs/sigils/spells are cast BEFORE moving to your hunting ground? Currently it is after.
I'd prefer this to accommodate places you can't cast in, but I can see where some people may not like it due to long travel times. How about a checkbox to toggle the option after/before getting to your hunting location?


3. JohnDoe: Warrior feint or cman? What's the command? How much stamina does it cost?

CMAN.
Command: "CMAN feint <target>"
Stamina Cost: Base 7 (-2 Rank 2, -4 Rank 1)

So far I've lost him twice, but I'm still not sure why.

This is new. I received this error last night after deciding not to MA the two characters together. The one character ran all night, but this one crashed after just one hunt.

This is a known lich... issue/feature. Basically it's lich exiting gracefully when it can't access the data stream or something. So basically you would have disconnected anyway.

I have my suspicions that there is something else triggering it, but I've never been able to prove this.

[Boreus]

I"m abit confused here can someone explain to me why 516 target(x1), 901 target(x9) would work perfectly casting 516 once then 901 9 times and then back to 516. But if I put 516 target(x1), 901 target(xx) it does 901 a random amount of time then casts 516 agiain instead of finishing off the target and if I put 516 target(x1), 901 target(20) it only cast 901 2 times before going back to 516?

[Smythe]

516(x1), 901(x9) works

516(x1), 901(xx) random 901 (but if ya check, ya changed stance I bet, which restarts da cycle for attack. It is da changed stance logic, not da attack dat's gettin' ya).

516(x1), 901(20) is a defect. If ya put it in that way, least it is bein' handled gracefully.

[Alorn15]

I should change (xx) to repeat a higher number of times. (20) is just wrong, it should be (x20).

[Boreus]

Thanks

I figured out what my problem was. I had my "tails" still attack when fried and "heads" was trying to head back to town to rest and "tails" got caught still trying to fight. They separated and that ended bigshot.

I just want to say I love this program. I know nothing about scripting but this has made my play time more enjoyable and can honestly say it's kept me from quitting the game.

[TheThirdEye]

this wounded eval thing that we copy and paste into bigshot is a pain.

The problem SpellWeaver is that you are a lazy bitch. If you would have taken a look at the code (as I am sure many have done) you would have noticed that there is a missing comma which is causing it fail:

Original:

bleeding? || percenthealth <= 80 || [Wounds.head, Wounds.nsysWounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand].max >= 2

Corrected:

bleeding? || percenthealth <= 80 || [Wounds.head, Wounds.nsys, Wounds.leftArm, Wounds.leftHand, Wounds.rightArm, Wounds.rightHand].max >= 2


Next time you might want to realize that bitching about a problem never solves it. Nobody loves a whiner but people that solve their own problems are fuckin' heroes! :laser:

[TheThirdEye]

Hey now! Just wanted to chime in that I have been using Bigshot for over a month and I have no complaints. I do have a request/question:

I am unable to find anyplace to set up swarm commands like I used to do with Starscream. As my Paladin gains levels he is gaining more abilities to deal with multiple enemies yet I'm uncertain of how I can take advantage of these with bigshot.

[GSFHenry]

I am unable to find anyplace to set up swarm commands like I used to do with Starscream. As my Paladin gains levels he is gaining more abilities to deal with multiple enemies yet I'm uncertain of how I can take advantage of these with bigshot.

Use hunting script section, and have your disabler in a script that pauses bigshot.

[Alorn15]

Use hunting script section, and have your disabler in a script that pauses bigshot.

Yeah... that's not really ideal though.

[Inspire]

I was thinking about doing something like that to take care of area webs. Any suggestions?

[TheThirdEye]

Yeah... that's not really ideal though.

I was thinking the same thing. Starscream has a field for commands to perform when the amount of critters in the room is greater than a specified number. Right now my Paladin can do an unfocused mstrike against 2 critters but will soon be able to attack 3. Unfortunately I don't use unfocused mstrike at all when I use bigshot. Later he will learn spells that are perfect for crowd control but it would be a waste to cast a spell on each critter he fights in the hopes that there will be more than one critter in the room.

I know you do this for fun so you are never gonna hear me demand features be added to any script. This is only a request for a feature I would love to use and would be happy to test.

[Alorn15]

In that particular case, I think that the mstrike command should be modified.

I think it's.... cmd_mstrike().

Somebody with upload privileges to bigshot.lic go do that!

And so on.

[Boreus]

Small request.
I haven't used MA for awhile since my one character had gotten well ahead of the other and then he was learning to forge now I got myself stuck on Teras so I brought the other over as well and tried MA again.

Anyway it used to be that if my wizard was following and ran out of mana with no wands on him he'd get the no wand gonna rest message and the head would ignore that and keep hunting while the wizard ran along then if the wizard got mana back he'd start hunting again, now the wizard can get all his mana back and he'll still just keep walking along doing nothing can we get that switched back please?

[Alorn15]

Boreus - Yeah... that's probably a bug that just wasn't revealed before due to the fact that the tail wasn't actually being polled correctly, and now is. I'd guess.
Edit: Does it work correctly if you disable wands on that tail?

Fortybox - Spiffy does the ranged stuff and has a solution to this... Spiffy?

Yes. It seems to me that the don't hunt/attack variable gets set when you run out of wands and mana. Then it never gets cleared.

[Fortybox]

Bigshot is ignoring the (m35) commands. I have this line set up, 906 target(m35)(x3), 516 target(x1).

When my mana dips below 35 it still continues to cast 906.

[Carl Spackler]

could it be the (x3) you have in next to it?

[whiteflash]

Tried skimming through most of this to see if this question has already been answered, but found nothing.

I hunt the rift, I don't want to afk hunt but I would be interested in using the script for bounties/regular hunting. Is there a way to set the hunting boundaries to ignore the maw/thread/stairs? I'm not sure I want to place every single room on whichever adjacent plane from the one I happen to be hunting, nor am I sure that would work. Thanks.

It will not enter any room you set as a boundary. So if you stand on the far side of the stairs and put that room, it won't go there. If that maw/thread/stair bit is some weird moving portal (I heard that exists in the rift?) then you'll have to add any possible room it could dump you in.

[Donquix]

Bigshot seems to be ignoring plains ogre deaths and, at times, ignores them even while they are alive. This happens in solo and group modes. Is there a file I can edit to fix this? If so, what do I need to add?

Bigshot is ignoring the (m35) commands. I have this line set up, 906 target(m35)(x3), 516 target(x1).

When my mana dips below 35 it still continues to cast 906.

The mana check seems to have been broken for a little while now. I used to not have issues with it, but lately (probably several weeks now) it has not been working and I've seen my logs spammed with the out of mana message in addition to any mana checks in my routine being ignored.

[Menelous]

Bigshot is ignoring the (m35) commands. I have this line set up, 906 target(m35)(x3), 516 target(x1).

When my mana dips below 35 it still continues to cast 906.

I think it's only taking the second condition. When I switched mine, to 903 target(x9)(m100), it will only cast once and move on with plenty of mana over 100.

[Tgo01]

I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done about this but my character keeps wanting to use the same 3 or 4 arrows during every hunt, normally this wouldn't be a problem except when hunting undead and the bless eventually runs out on the same 3 or 4 arrows so bigshot stops as soon as it gets the message that the attack had no effect.

Is there some way to set up bigshot so it tries another arrow before giving up? Or possibly putting arrows he has already fired into a different container?

It isn't that sloot doesn't activate, its that the creature was never detected to be dead. Tillmen has a workaround he using in place to help with the death update bug, send him a PM and I'm sure he will help you out with adding skeletal giants.

Is there some way to set up bigshot so it tries another arrow before giving up? Or possibly putting arrows he has already fired into a different container?

Can anyone tell me what I would have to delete from the bigshot script to make it so it stops picking up arrows? I figure if bigshot didn't automatically pick up my arrows I can just set sloot to not pick up arrows either when fighting undead, that way my character will stop using the same unblessed arrows over and over again.

[Dragonspine and Rolaren]
Dragonspine Avenue is the main street of Kharam-Dzu. Most of the people you see are well-to-do dwarves, nattily dressed and apparently in a rush. The buildings all look new. Even the cobblestone streets are immaculately clean. A sturdy set of glaes-banded mithril doors leads into a low stone structure. The two guards outside clench their pikes tightly, peering closely at all who approach. You also see a bright brass sign.

[The Bank of Kharam-Dzu]
Surly dwarves grumble in line, clutching their coin-purses to their chests. Opposite the doors is a high, black steel counter. A spectacled dwarf is perched behind it, squinting at you from atop his tall chair. All around him, bald heads and flailing hands bob up and down frantically. The clinking of coins mixes with giggles of glee from the back. You also see a black glaes sign and a worn footstool.

[Rolaren Street, River Crossing]
A cobblestone road leads east into the commercial center of the town. Leaning against a stone guardpost, a uniformed dwarf appraises those who pass. You hear angry shouts from inside the building. Streams of people cross the stone bridge to the west, which spans the River Muagh. You also see a wrought iron sign.

[Ghorsa Isle, Plaza Northeast]
The burbling of the river and the buzz of the crowd blend together, and you can hear little else for the din. A stout stone bridge spans the river Muagh, crossing east toward the commercial district. Down by the river's edge squats a fat old dwarf. He sits and stares into the water, mumbling to no one in particular. You also see a stony path.
Obvious paths: south, southwest, west

[Ghorsa Isle, Plaza Northwest]
The area is fairly quiet. Only the occasional dwarf passes by, with the occasional giantman, elf, or halfling moving through as well. The Inn, a prosperous-looking establishment, stands proudly with at the door. You also see a stone bridge.
Obvious paths: east, southeast, south, down

[Garnet Street, River Crossing]
Throngs of people stream over the stone bridge, half bound for the residential west side, the rest for the dwarven quarter on the river's opposite shore. Through the mob, you notice a gnarled old woman sitting alone, out of the traffic, a brilliant, fascinated smile spreading across her wrinkled face.

[Silver and Garnet]
Lines of slender dwellings built edge-to-edge stretch along the cobbles, their cantilevered balconies providing shelter to pedestrians who stroll casually along beneath them. Long wooden troughs fixed atop the railings overflow with plantlife. You also see a slender shop.

[Garnet Street]
Garnet comes to a dead end here, flanked on its sides by rough brick buildings and terminated to the west by a segment of the town's wall extended to match the height of the surrounding structure. An alley leads off to the south. You also see a wrought iron sign.

[Kharam-Dzu, Dark Alley]
The narrow street lies dormant with gray sights, scents and sounds of a place ever untouched by light. Nothing speaks. Nothing moves. Nothing seems to recognize your existence except for small puffs of dust which settle at your feet. A sense of unease builds in your gut, prodding you to move onward. You also see a nondescript doorway.
Obvious paths: out

[Locks Picked & Lockpicks]
Darkness seems to be the theme for this room as it has no lighting save for what washes in from the entrance. Before you is a short wooden counter with an odd-looking tree of keys resting on it, beneath which is a small note. A dusty wooden crate sits in a shadowed corner. Behind the counter, a slit-eyed halfling watches you with a practice-wary gaze. You also see the infamous Kniknak Sneakyfeet and a small wooden sign.

[Liagala]

Bigshot isn't working anymore. Basically, goes to resting location (fine), immediately runs townsmith, sloot sell, then for some FUCKING reason takes me to the locksmith and not my rest room. I can't figure it out. I give up. Le Sigh.

Sloot sell takes you back to whatever room you started in, when it is finished. Townsmith does NOT always bring you from the locksmith to your resting room when it's done. So if townsmith leaves you in the locksmith, when sloot kicks in, it thinks that's the room you want to be in. Add a go2 to your resting scripts works, but it's easier (and less likely to hang on a messed-up script) if you remove townsmith entirely from your resting scripts, and click the little "use townsmith" button in sloot.

QFT

[Spooky]

Is there a way you could add this to the next update?

Basically, the problem I have right now is I like to hunt the flats in teras for gem bounties, because they drop treasure, but right now they are getting too young for me and it takes forever to fry.

So, I switched my hunting ground to wasps. They don't drop treasure, therefore, if I make it my primary hunting ground, I will never complete my gem bounty. Unfortunately there's not a way to switch from wasps to the flats only for gem bounties, get my drift? So gem bounties for the flats, regular hunting the wasps to get fried. So I have removed doing gem bounties.

Is there anyway to implement this? Basically, one hunting area to get fried, another for gem bounties?

[Fortybox]

Bigshot is ignoring targets. Has this been happening to anyone else? I currently have a new character in the catacombs and is not always hitting the giant rats. I've deleted everything and reinstalled and it's the same thing.

[IorakeWarhammer]

just use an SF script for rats lol

[Fortybox]

It's doing it on other critters too. I have been putting the full name as well.

[Aloris]

[Daragon]

Bigshot wasn't using wands/ spells right. Would send me to rest after 1 cast and not use wands. But I fixed my problem by leaving the "Use this kind of wand" Box
Blank. Now it works great. Just posting so if anyone else has been havin the same problems..

[audioserf]

Is there anything special I need to do to make bigshot hunt again after a death? I am new at this, but I have the "auto decay" and "ReRun after Death" toggles set. This is for a newbie I have hunting giant ants in the Landing. When he dies, he wakes up on the Altar, runs Waggle, and then the script errors out. I'm at work but the message was something about an issue with missing "info".

[Cyprion]

Maybe the alter is like some tables and go2 doesn't know a route to get you out of there and back to hunting?

[Jace Solo]

Bigshot was constantly using Sigil of Power when I didn't need it before a hunt. Popped my muscles after only a couple of feints when I should really be Ok through a whole hunt @ 107 Stamina so I deleted it and re-downloaded.

Now it's telling me that the rooms, which are the same was I was using before, are invalid to the map or something. I can use them fine with Go2...any ideas?

Also, where do I download bigshot tail...or heads...or how do I use it exactly?

Try downloading deathrecover.lic. It's meant for people over level 10, to get potions, spell up, and get back out there - but it should work for little ones too. Just add it to your favs.

Doesn't exist anymore. The MA functionality is dead in bigshot, and since Spiffy's now doing upkeep on it I don't think it'll be back.

[xayd]

windows error:createfontindirect failed
windows error:createpen
windows error:select pen

so my first guess was this is a windows error its the second time its happened while running bigshot/sloot. however this only seems to happen on my sorcs account and not my wizards. any ideas? it just spams the hell out of that till the game freezes up and crashes dosnt seem to continue the game at all just repeats that message over and over at light speed

Have a small problem with bigshot. I looked threw this thread to see if anyone else was having a problem like mine, but not seeing it.
Please forgive me if this has already been asked and answered.
Bigshot is not using my wands after I run out of mana.

My GUI setup is as follows. I bet Im just missing something obvious or stupid.
Attack commands: 903(xx)
Rest when? (mana): 3
Find ammo: robe
Fresh wand: robe
Dead wand: backpack
Use wand type: aquamarine, iron, silver
Use wand box: checked

I would be happy if it popped the wand when im out of mana, but would love even more if it would cast 903 once then wave the wand till dead.
I tried the attack command: 903(x1) activate left(xx)
this didnt work. Assumed its just my stupidity, so I checked here.

Ive played around with this a bit, and now that Im writing this, I came up with some other "stupids" I need to check.
wave left(xx) just came to me now....

but anyway, even If its just after mana runs out, could somone guide me through this a bit?

Gotten ALOT of help in the past little bit from these boards, so thanks for your help, and thanks in advance.

As a side not, I would like to thank all the people who dedicated so much time to lich, and these scripts. Youve all done a wonderful job, and made the game so much more for everyone else.
Now that I have lich, I seriously wonder how this game got me hooked if the first place. Now that I see all the things that are missing, or that I needed help with, the game has doubled in quality and ease.

Thanks again all you "smartie" programers out there.



EDIT: figured it out.. thanks anyway.

[Boreus]

Leave the use wand type blank and set your mana rest to -1

[subzero]

Doesn't exist anymore. The MA functionality is dead in bigshot, and since Spiffy's now doing upkeep on it I don't think it'll be back.

Thats news to me.



PS. I'm running bigshot in MA mode right now.

[Boreus]

Are you sure your running Spiffy's update? I've been scared to update since I read that because I"m running MA

[subzero]

I'm using the last one that was on the repo (9-16). Maybe he did something I'm not aware of in regard to the MA code while I was gone last week, but I'm still able to run.

I did notice that something is triggering sloot during combat before the critter dies and it wasn't doing that prior, but I'm not sure if it's related. I guess I could actually do some testing and see if it's only during MA. The characters I'm running solo don't seem to have the same issue, but they're fighting different critters and don't skin, as the MA looter does. In any case, the loot issue I'm having doesn't prevent hunting; it does slow it down a little bit though.


edit: I can now confirm that the loot issue is not related to MA. Soooo, dunno where anyone got the idea that it isn't working.

[Mindiloish]

having some issues! im trying to make it so my wizard will cast haste on himself if he has more then 30 mana, but it never works out! help if you can!

[peam]

Does anyone know the syntax and where to enter "sloot sell" in Bigshot to make it work at the beginning of a rest?

[Carl Spackler]

should be a field for resting scripts?

[alski415]

Was wondering if its possible to have my mage tail my little ranger, so he can stay hasted, and just 501 stuff for him when need be. I got bigshot MA to work with my bard/mage, just dont know how to go about setting it up so the mage doesnt attack. any help is appreciated.

[peam]

I had an old version of Bigshot.

Disregard.

[Kramble]

Just curious if the ranged gather loop was fixed.

[Alorn15]

alski415 - You could set it so that he is always fried (e.g. percentmind to rest at is like -1), and write a simple script to run as an Active Hunting Script that does that stuff. Then your char will be under bigshot's radar, but not attacking and always ready to rest.

You may also want to add sleep 5 as a fried hunting command. I'm not sure if bigshot is smart enough to throttle itself back when cycling commands if there are no commands.
