Bigshot: The New Optimus Prime

[Manamethis]

Bigshot doesn't work there, hunt kobolds or giant ants.

[Wudd]

Bigshot doesn't work there, hunt kobolds or giant ants.

Yep, that fixed it.

[Fallen]

Bigshot doesn't work there, hunt kobolds or giant ants.

I was wondering what that was about. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why the script wouldn't work.

[subzero]

I was wondering what that was about. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why the script wouldn't work. Something to do with identical rooms and confuzzling the script, probably making it think it's not moving.

[Aech]

So is there a way to add in a script after I get back to rest and sell, to ask for healing if I have wounds?

Or anything to detect if a GM warns you for scripting? Got bagged the other night and didn't respond in time to the requests, so ended up in the Scripting Lounge.

[Tgo01]

It's impossible to make a script watch for all script checks because each GM has their own way of script checking people. The best thing to do is to not afk script.

[Warriorbird]

It's impossible to make a script watch for all script checks because each GM has their own way of script checking people. The best thing to do is to not afk script.

With enough talent it is mostly beatable. You just go about it by carefully establishing all the norms, to the point that at that point its almost worthless to take all that effort, and they can still bust you through unresponsiveness to others.

[Tgo01]

I just don't see how you can write a script for all possible afk checks. I've had one script ask me what two coins would equal 35 cents, I've had Wolverine threaten to kill me if I didn't say something in particular (forget what I was asked to say), two times I've had bandits ask me how much silvers I've had on me and say it out loud. The last one would be easy to script for but there is no garauntee you will get asked that again.

Also I don't think they can nail you for being unresponsive to other players.

[jafo]

@392
elsif( command =~ /^sattack/i )
cmd_sattack( command, npc )

@543
def cmd_sattack( command, target)
if( checkstamina(20) )
bs_put "wtrick sattack ##{target.id}"
else
bs_put "kill ##{target.id}"

end
end


usage:
hunting command: sattack target

Will try to perform wtrick sattack at a target if there is enough stamina. If not, it will perform a regular attack. I might add another called sattack_only in case I run into a situation where if sattack doesn't have enough stam, I want to failover to something other than a normal attack.

It's a lot easier to remain responsive while away than it is to try and beat every potential script check. For example, filter lines seen XXX times and send the rest to your phone/tablet. If you have a XMPP4 server setup you can relay commands to the game via Google Chat (or any other Jabber/XMPP4 server). You might get a bunch of false positives but it sure beats getting busted for being non-responsive. Since you're relaying lines you've never seen before there's really no way for a GM to beat this - you can only beat yourself by not having your communication device with you and/or not responding.

[jafo]

Also, reading the mstrike code, it simply checks the cooldown. I might add a mstrike_stam to my local copy that does focused mstrikes as long as you have stamina and if not does a normal kill.

use case:
hunting mob1, mob2 (b)
hunting commands: wait 9, kill (x3) <--cookie cutter square
hunting commands (b): wtrick feint target, mstrike_stam target (xx) <-- son of bitch ranger mob with spike thorn you want to vaporize

[Natso]

Anyone know why bigshot is ignoring peoples disks in the room? Tried a few different things but none of them seem to work.

[Tgo01]

Anyone know why bigshot is ignoring peoples disks in the room? Tried a few different things but none of them seem to work.

No clue, it didn't work for me either so I had to end up writing my own hunting script. Which in retrospect was probably for the best.

[Tillmen]

If it's only doing it in the first room when it starts hunting, that's a long standing, easily fixed, bug.

Around line 900 in the version I'm look at, change:

loop {
while( (target = find_target(target, just_arrived)) && !should_rest? )
if( (Time.now.to_i - last_attack > 15) || just_arrived )
@followers.add_event(:ATTACK)
last_attack = Time.now.to_i
end
attack(target)
just_arrived = false
loot()
end
gather_ammo()

if(should_rest?)
break
else
prepare_for_movement()
target = bs_wander()
sleep 1
just_arrived = true
end
}


to


loop {
if(should_rest?)
break
else
prepare_for_movement()
target = bs_wander()
sleep 1
just_arrived = true
end

while( (target = find_target(target, just_arrived)) && !should_rest? )
if( (Time.now.to_i - last_attack > 15) || just_arrived )
@followers.add_event(:ATTACK)
last_attack = Time.now.to_i
end
attack(target)
just_arrived = false
loot()
end
gather_ammo()
}


If it's doing it all the time, it's probably because it's trying to ignore disks that belong to someone in your group, but it's sticking the group members name into a regex without checking if it's empty. The empty regex matches everything, and it assumes all disks belong to someone in your non-existent group.

Around line 1326 change:

next if GameObj.loot.find { |obj| (obj.noun == 'disk') and (obj.name !~ /#{group.join('|')}/) }


to


next if GameObj.loot.find { |obj| (obj.noun == 'disk') and (group.empty? or obj.name !~ /#{group.join('|')}/) }

[Tgo01]

If it's only doing it in the first room when it starts hunting, that's a long standing, easily fixed, bug.

When I used Bigshot it would totally ignore the person in the first room altogether, whether they were hidden or not. Other than that it always ignored people's disks.

[alkaloids]

Wouldn't it be nice, Tillmen, if someone could just squash a bug like this and then pull request (or some other mechanic) it into the mainline repo so it's fixed for everyone and not have to wait until the OP actually fixed it?

[Buckwheet]

For some of the stuff I have offered to pay something towards someone to keep it up to date and add the occasional feature.

What you speak of is witchcraft!

I actually made a github account, and then got annoyed and went back to doing something productive. All my experience with git is just to download a snapshot of source code. It's going to take enough effort to figure out what I should be doing that it's on the to-do list instead of being done.

Also, it seems like you're suggesting that anyone should be able to edit any script at any time, and that seems like a very bad thing.

So of course anyone should be able to edit any script at any time. That's the way it is now. But I also think that they should be able to make a small improvement, then have that improvement looked at by someone, and if it gets approved, then that small fix should be able to be pushed to the lich repo. This is how open source projects like Rails are able to have tens of thousands of contributors, but people can't "sneak" malicious things into the codebase, which would be A Very Bad Thing.

I use git/github all day every day for work and am very happy to help with this. I just created a github organization account called 'lich-hub' which I'll make you an owner of. Then we can put some of the popular scripts there and then we can figure out a workflow for getting things approved/improved.

[jafo]

You can always upload a copy with your fix, and when it goes mainline, delete it.

I've got a copy of BigShot called proshot with my warrior commands in it and some additional checks for mstrike.

FYI: I just added these disk fixes to proshot.

This is what I need. Can I do this with a mac/iphone? Is it hard to get setup?

[jafo]

When I reactivated and got bigshot working well , the first thing I thought was "gee, how can I use canned profiles with this."

Last week when I was reading this spreadsheet of lich scripts descriptions:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au5_Hm1XJsjDdGJZcjA5X0FYOUVBZVdyVkNNMHpxa EE#gid=0

I noticed "bloader".

Which led to me this:
http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?64291-bloader-and-bbounty

What I found:
The GTK setup interface is... eh. Its better to create a bigloader.xml using a template like the one from that thread.

Here is my xml for reference also:
http://pastebin.com/2D4rBb8q

I get bounties for vipers, boars, and ogres in the blighted forest.

If I am just mob grinding til "must rest", I ;bloader load blight-ogre
If I am doing a bounty and killing til I I am done, I ;bloader load blight-ogre-b

The difference being, the second one just runs around killing until I kill it (or the char gets injured/encumbered)

Back in WL area working on guild skills/bounties. Being able to override the default hunting commands is nice. Here I have three profiles for the same mob depending on whether its a bounty or guild reps. bloader+bigshot rules.

[Khelbaen]

Sorry to necro...but I was wondering is there a way to squelch the multiple lines of text every time bigshot checks your experience?

[Buckwheet]

Just the string to your highlights or squelches.

[DaCapn]

Sorry to necro...but I was wondering is there a way to squelch the multiple lines of text every time bigshot checks your experience?

If you open up the script and ctrl+F to search for the offending info, you'll see that it's trivial to remove. It's not even checking your exp. It's just presenting it.

[Versin]

Is there a way to have bigshot consider a dodge/parry/evade as an attack in the wait_for_swing module? I have little ruby experience but added the following to my version:

break if get =~ /evade|dodge|barely|nick of time|extreme effort/

It looks like the pcs definition is what should be altered, but I am not quite sure how to do so properly...

[Vanatar]

I think you want to modify the line that starts with clear.any?... somewhere around line 775. The regex match could look something like this:

/#{target.id}.*(#{pcs})|#{target.id}.*searches|#{ta rget.id}.*looking for|#{target.id}.*evade|#{target.id}.*dodge|#{targ et.id}.*barely|#{target.id}.*nick of time|#{target.id}.*extreme effort/ && line !~ /^<style id=""\/><style id="roomDesc"\/>|<component id='room objs'>|<compDef id='room objs'>|before your very eyes/

This is from memory and from a heavily customized version of Bigshot, but I think it'll get the job done.

[Vanatar]

Not sure if Versin still cares, but someone else might. I realized today that the code I provided was to detect how your target responded to an attack. I use this to to determine if my ambushing rogue needs to hide again or perform some other action before attacking.

Anyway, to capture responses for your char I think you'd be OK just changing #{target.id} to You. I.e. ${target.id}.*evade should be You.*evade

Also, if anyone is still maintaining the script I'd be willing to provide my code updates for ambushing from hiding.

[tallkris3]

Does anyone know how bigshot determines the order to attack critters when you walk in a room with multiple critters? Or when multiple critters come in while attacking? I thought it was room order but today I saw a new critter walk in and bigshot attacked him first as opposed to hitting other existing critters in the room.

Is there any way to force it to always target a certain type of critter first?

[Vanatar]

I think Bigshot targets in the order you have the critters listed in the setup. Try putting the critter you want to prefer first in the list.

[Stavman]

I can seem ta figure out how to adjust my Hide and Ambush correctly. Im a rogue, so wanna Hide.... ambush TARGET l leg... If Knocked Down, Hide ambush TARGET Neck....

The only real way to do this is to make an attack script. There are surely a number of scripts on the repo that can give examples of how to choose targets based on status ('fire' is one such script which also has some basic hide and stance dancing in there). You can access your bigshot targets easily if you want to make some special logic on a per target basis (for example `;e echo Lich.op['targets']`). It's fairly easy since the script only needs to make a single attack since bigshot basically just uses it as one if its regular attack routines.

[Vanatar]

I think what it comes down to is how much code you want to write yourself. If you want everything to happen inside Bigshot, there are two easy places to start:
1. By default the ambush commands get processed and sent to the game by the bs_put method. You could add logic there to see what the message is doing and respond accordingly if it's an ambush command. You would end up with something like this in the attack routine: hide and wait xx, ambush target <part>, hide and wait xx, ambush target <other part>. What you want to do based on the targeted body part is up to you.
2. I think this one is more in the spirit of Bigshot: Add a new special attack subroutine for ambushing (like it has for wands, beserk, mstrike, etc...). Modify the cmd method to recognize and call your special ambush routine. Then depending on how that's coded you could end up with just a simple ambush target attack routine.

Neither of these even touches the surface of what you can do. For instance, my ambush-friendly version of Bigshot tries to stay hidden at all times while hunting and has an ever growing list of critter search text that I use to determine whether or not I can ambush (modified wait_for_swing method). Mine also automatically switches targets if the current target is PRONE and there is another targetable critter in the room.

if you don't want to write much code at all you're better off checking the repo for existing ambush scripts and calling that from Bigshot.

[Stavman]

I did good 12yrs ago writing scripts... but that was awhile ago...

Appreciate the help.... May look at modifing the cmd once i get a better understanding of the system

appreciate the help all... fuess I;d better start learning again

[zoraster]

I'm not very good at scripting, but maybe this will be easy enough for me to do if I have a little help:

I want to rewrite bigshot to do two simple things:

I want:

1. To be able to type "bigshot stop" at any time and have it stop hunting, come back and run rest scripts, then exit bigshot.
2. To start bigshot with ;bigshot once and have it run the hunt script and rest script once before exiting. (even better: ;bigshot <#> that will run it X number of times.

Is this doable? What should I look into to try to accomplish this?

[Stavman]

Ok so i was Hunting Cyclops... another Person was as well, both using Bigshot, both paying attention
Both have Disks
He would come into my Room, i'd have a cyclops Stunned, and he would attach it.
we tried testing multiple times, and same results

Now just happened with another hunter... he is not seing my disk when im hiding to ambush

But i see both of them and never jump there critters????

Any ideas All?

so far it worked for 1 of the Hunters

This is a message to all those who can understand the Bigshot code's inner workings:

I am a wizard bolter, and am in COL. If i were to want to change bigshot's code to cast CS spells when my spirit is low - where would I go about changing that?

For example, you can already specify stamina and mana minimums i.e. 904 target(m4)(xx) or cman feint target(s10)...

How could we go about including a maximum spirit to the mix? i.e. 904 target(m4)(sp8)(xx), 415 target(sp4)?

If you want to duplicate (or near enough) the behavior of the mana and stamina checks modify this code:




# check mana/stamina
if( command =~ /(.*)\(([s|m])(\d+)\)$/ )
if( $2 == 's' )
return if !checkstamina($3.to_i)
elsif( $2 == 'm' )
return if !checkmana($3.to_i)
end
command = $1
end


to look something like this:




# check mana/stamina/spirit
if( command =~ /(.*)\(([s|m|p])(\d+)\)$/ ) #It's easier to use something else to mean checkspirit since the regex is already matching on s
if( $2 == 's' )
return if !checkstamina($3.to_i)
elsif( $2 == 'm' )
return if !checkmana($3.to_i)
elsif( $2 == 'p' )
return if !checkspirit($3.to_i)
end
command = $1
end


By the way it doesn't look like you can use multiple checks in the same attack sequence without further modifications to the code. It'll probably require rewriting the regex which I don't feel like tackling at the moment.

Is this doable? What should I look into to try to accomplish this?

You can get it to run just once by adding a pause in your script right before the hunt routine. It will be pause until you do a ;unpause on it.

You might be able to fool one of your rest routines to get it to force stop hunting and go rest. One way is to infuse all your mana, and then it will see you have 0% of mana and force you to rest.

To me, writing an attack script seems a lot easier than janking around with the built-in bigshot attack logic. I suppose it's nice that it's there but it's never been enough for me.

Around line 1340, change this:

Since the original line should otherwise work, I figured the group detection itself is somewhat broken. I personally don't care about group functionality so I just stripped it:
next if GameObj.loot.find { |obj| (obj.noun == 'disk') and (obj.name !~ /#{Char.name}/) }

A footnote here would be that you could also change `obj.noun == 'disk'` to `obj.noun =~ /disk|coffin/` if you ever hunt during EG or Halloween or whatever when disk nouns get changed.

Ill try This

Not really a group issue.. since usually only 1 AMBUSHER in the group... and any other hunters see them... usualy just when i Hunt alone...

Ill let ya know....

Anyone know where the config for bigshot is saved? Looking to store the lich and the config files on dropbox so I could essentially play from different machines.

Tried this earlier and lost all my settings, not sure if it was something I did wrong or not but hesitant to try again without knowing for sure.

[Tillmen]

From a quick look through the script, it looks like most settings are saved using UserVars, which will be in lich\data\<GAME>\<CHARACTER>\uservars.dat

It also uses CharSettings, which will be in lich\data\<GAME>\<CHARACTER>\bigshot.sav, but this is only used to save which npcs can be targetted and which can't. If you lose this file, bigshot will just use the target verb on each npc the first time it sees it.

Throwing this thread both in here and in sloot4 as it's an issue with both. Essentially I'll pick something up and stow it in my cloak either during a hunt or when sloot is selling off the loot. It wont recognize stowing it in my cloak and feeds me the error message :failed to put item in cloak:. Once bigshot/sloot finishes either hunting or selling loot, instead of removing my sword/shield from my inventory it removes the item it failed to recognize as stowing away in the first place.

Been seeing an issue when trying to use this in RR fighting tomb trolls. I only want to kill the tomb trolls, but then bigshot will target tomb troll necromancers randomly if they happen to be in the same room with the tomb troll. Not sure how to fix it so that won't happen.

Do you have "tomb trolls" in the target list?

If so try just troll. All you need to put in the target box is however you would normally attack the critter you want to attack; "attack troll", "attack necromancer", "etc".

"tomb troll" yes (not a plural). However, I have also tried troll only with the same result. It is very strange. Sometimes it ignores the necromancer completely (expected), other times it goes to target and starts attacking the necromancer when clearly the script chose the room because my intended target was there.

[Tgo01]

Actually now that I think about it, the way Bigshot is setup it would probably target the necromancers too since they have the same name as the tomb trolls just with necromancer added to the end of it.

I dunno, depends how the script is setup.

[Whirlin]

Maybe add Necromancer to the ignore list?

[SpiffyJr]

If you guys are feeling adventurous try out ;shunt. I'm actively working on it...

[Anebriated]

how/what is it compared to sbounty?

[Maerit]

Maybe add Necromancer to the ignore list?

They have been on the ignore list, but still get targeted! It's very odd...

[SpiffyJr]

how/what is it compared to sbounty?

It's a hunter like Bigshot except, not Bigshot. It works with sbounty (;sbounty shunt) through the ;sbounty-shunt proxy. There are no docs so good luck!

[Trouble]

I'm having trouble with the web spell. I'm using it as a set-up before my regular attack spell. I have the attack stance specified as guarded and I've even put in "stance guar and 118 target, stance adv and 317 target(xx)" in the attack routine. The problem is it's always defaulting to the bolt form of web. See log:

[bigshot]>stance guarded
You are now in a guarded stance.

You utter a light chant and raise your hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to aid you with the Web spell...

Notice how it goes to guarded like I specify, but then goes to offensive for the bolt. How can I stop it from doing that?

[Tillmen]

I believe Bigshot is using the Lich cast method, and the cast method is changing stance. You can make it stop by typing:

;e Spell[118].stance = false

That will last until you log off. You may want to put that (minus the ;e) into a script to start on login.

[Trouble]

;e Spell[118].stance = false

That worked, thanks!

[Hazado]

Unarmed combat added to bigshot
attack using the unarmed command
unarmed attackgoeshere (example: wait 30, unarmed punch)

place this is the def cmd( command, npc = nil, stance_dance = true ) portion, just above the else return if command =~ /1030/ && checkmana < 10

elsif( command =~ /^unarmed\s+(.*)/i )
unarmed( $1, npc)

Place this somewhere


def unarmed( command , npc)
return if npc.status =~ /dead|gone/
cmd("#{command} ##{npc.id}", npc)
unarmedattack = matchtimeout 0.5, 'followup jab', 'followup punch', 'followup grapple', 'followup kick', 'Roundtime'

cmd("unarmed kick", npc)
end

[Pistashio]

I was wondering if you could add a priority list, for instance I have issues with arch wights ending up at the bottom of the attack routine (not sure how this is sorted) attacking typically lowest level creatures first then to the next highest level and so on. Problem is, that gives wights ample time to prep and cast boil earth, I'm wondering if I modified:

def find_routine(target)
if( !solo? && fried? )
return @DISABLE_COMMANDS
else
key = @TARGETS.keys.find { |k| target.name =~ /^#{k}$/ or target.noun =~ /^#{k}$/ }
if key.nil?
routine_letter = 'a'
else
routine_letter = @TARGETS[key]
end

if routine_letter == 'c'
return @HUNTING_COMMANDS_C unless @HUNTING_COMMANDS_C.size == 0
elsif routine_letter == 'b'
return @HUNTING_COMMANDS_B unless @HUNTING_COMMANDS_B.size == 0
end

return @HUNTING_COMMANDS
end
end


To something like this:

def find_routine(target)
if( !solo? && fried? )
return @DISABLE_COMMANDS
else
key = @TARGETS.keys.find { |k| target.name =~ /^#{k}$/ or target.noun =~ /^#{k}$/ }

if routine_letter == 'c'
return @HUNTING_COMMANDS_C unless @HUNTING_COMMANDS_C.size == 0
elsif routine_letter == 'b'
return @HUNTING_COMMANDS_B unless @HUNTING_COMMANDS_B.size == 0
end

if key.nil?
routine_letter = 'a'
else
routine_letter = @TARGETS[key]
end

return @HUNTING_COMMANDS
end
end

If that would check the commands for b & c before moving onto the undefined routines, allowing to basically set a priority list which then I could assign: wight(b) to be issued first (since those are the most dangerous and not hard to kill if targeted first)

Thoughts?

If this is not an ideal (of course its not!) "fix" as I've had to make to get mstrike to function at the min required 30, (altered it to 15 and removed the target=nil? to allow use of focused mstrike and unfocused mstrike depending on creature count).

Do you think that a Priority option will be made available in the future?

[Allizar]

I was about to ask for a way to set priorities as well heh.

[Pistashio]

Tested the theory of swapping around the find_routine, and it just breaks BS. Anyway, just wanted to mention that. If anyone has a way to set priorities, maybe have a hunting script that forces you to attempt to target 1st prio, then 2nd if no #1 prio, and so on... then putting that in the attack sequence with script [Target_Priority], kill target(xx) or how ever you have it setup...

I'd have to do some experimenting with a Lich script for targeting so that it searches for a critter, targets it, exits script, continue with BS attack sequence.

Can you tell when exactly it fries your nerves? Like just when casting 711, when casting any spell? Is Bigshot setup to run another script like waggle?

[CaptContagious]

its during the hunt. different each time on which fries it. it is setup to ;waggle when resting

[Donquix]

put minimum mana requirements on the abilities

711(m11),719(m19),705(m5xx) (forget how to do mana + num casts), i guess you could do 705(m5),705(xx) at the end

[daeler33]

I am rather new to lich so I may be overlooking simple stuff. I am trying to run bigshot it seems to work except it wont attack anything. I set it to attack mountain ogre it passes them up and just ignores them. anyone know what I am doing wrong?
have attack set to hide, ambush target left leg, kill target

Do you have the target set to "mountain ogre" or just "ogre"? It's been a while since I've checked the code but I think you're just supposed to put the noun in there.

[daeler33]

tried both no joy either way

[TheBastardOfStark]

just the noun so target list: ogre

also you don't need to have target in the attack line. ambush l leg, kill works. You might want to make it kill(x2) or kill(xx) if you want to kill until dead without re hiding

[Vusit]

anyone ever had any luck getting bigshot to work with 710, keeps wanting to recast it every time if the critter moves.

[Niomar]

You're going to have to use your own attack script to handle 710. You can start with something like:


if (!GameObj[/tightly focused tempest/]) and (Spell['710'].affordable?)

Spell['710'].cast
pause 1.00

end

But that only works for one target at a time and you would have to manually follow the creature.

[daeler33]

figured out one problem I am having that might be causing the problems I am having with bigshot, I noticed that none of the creatures or NPCs are getting the highlight they are supposed to get. they all just show as blue underlined instead of yellow like they are supposed to. anyone know why this is? I dont have that problem on my other acct. it seems it is also doing this in wizard, which makes me think it is a Lich or Bigshot error. it is like the program cant see the creatures so doesn't attack.

[Maerit]

Having some issue with Bigshot ignoring critters I put into the "valid targets" field.

Trying to kill Hooded Figures and Sheruvian Initiates on my wizard. So, I put in figure, initiate. It ignores all hooded figures and attacks all initiates.

On my other character (paladin), using the same script folder (i.e. same bigshot), the valid target is just "figure". No issue. Figures are targeted and killed. I updated it and set it to "figure, initiate" and it attacks both.

Why would one character ignore hooded figures, while the other attacks them fine using the same noun? I even tried putting "hooded figure" in the field also and he just ignores them all.

[Tgo01]

figure|initiate

Oh wait, just noticed you said figure, initiate works on your other character. Could have sworn you had to separate critters with a pipe | symbol in big shot.

[Parkbandit]

Pipe symbol works for me. kobolds|squirrels

[Maerit]

figure|initiate

Oh wait, just noticed you said figure, initiate works on your other character. Could have sworn you had to separate critters with a pipe | symbol in big shot.

Not for the "valid targets" field. I've always used comma and it works fine. Most fields can be comma separated in bigshot. The only ones need to use | for are those where you actually provide the regular expression.

Sloot, on the other hand, is | separated.

Yeah I thought the critter field was a regular expressions field. Been so long since I've used big shot though.

I was having "issues" with Bigshot working for multiple targets. I used kobold|squirrel in my valid target field in bigshot setup and it worked perfectly fine.

By the way, I worked this out on my own without any outside help at all.

Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and probably uses a stupid dog reading a magazine for an avatar.

I'm not sure. I could look at the code when I get home unless someone already knows the answer.

[JackWhisper]

No need. Just add in the name on the monster field. Ancient greater earth elemental. Grizzled greater earth elemental. I just deleted/added that info whenever I had a big creature bounty.

Had a chance to test this today. I did not solve the issue with my wizard. He still ignores "hooded figure" as though it isn't a valid target even though it is clearly defined as one. Not sure why!

Still able to fry off the initiates, and they're probably richer anyway. Just figured I would check it out since my paladin can hunt the figures without issue using bigshot and defining them as "figure" in the valid targets field.

I also tried to use the wizard in a head/tail bigshot setup with the Paladin picking targets. My paladin will stop and attack figures while my wizard just sits there and waits like it has no idea what it is supposed to attack.

Super strange.

[Tgo01]

Doesn't someone out there have a pet or something that is called a "masked figure"? I wonder if Bigshot tried to target it one time on your wizard and got the untargetable message so it added "figure" to the untargetable list. It would explain why just your wizard doesn't target them if your paladin never tried to target the masked figure.

Try renaming bigshot to just big and running the script to test it. Your bigshot settings are saved to lich variables so even if the script is renamed to ;big it will still use the same settings.

[Androidpk]

Masked figures are minor demons with an illusion on.

[Tgo01]

Masked figures are minor demons with an illusion on.

Ahh.

[Maerit]

Ok, I haven't tested that yet, but quick follow-up question. If it is the figure issue, why doesn't "hooded figure" work? Do I have to put the full critter description in quotes? I tried hunting just figure, nothing else, and my character basically wandered aimlessly ignoring everything. In the past, though, hooded figure didn't seem to work either, but I didn't enclose it in quotes or anything like that.

[Donquix]

you didn't previously add figures to the "always flee from" list, did you?

[Tgo01]

In the past, though, hooded figure didn't seem to work either, but I didn't enclose it in quotes or anything like that.

It looks like when Bigshot tries to target something that is untargetable it adds the noun to a list of things to not try and attack again, since both "hooded figure" and "masked figure" have the same noun this would explain it. It would also explain why your paladin is able to attack them because the setting is saved on a per character basis.

It was just a shot in the dark though because it looks like bigshot resets this list every time it's started up but I could be wrong about that which is why I figured I would suggest trying it.

[vamosj]

I'm having trouble with Bigshot MA on the same computer. I join up with my tail, ;bigshot tail, ;bigshot head, and they both make it to the hunting ground but now the head just continually runs by targets. What am I missing?

[meekee38]

I have used bigshot off and on for a few years. I recently started using in MA mode. My sorcerer is set to wrack and sometiems (not always but probably 50% of the time), upon wracking, his console basically freezes. Any commands sent to lich or the game do nothing. I have to close Stormfront and relogin to continue playing. Disabling wrack prevents this from ever happening.

Has anyone seen this before? I did search but didn't see anything.

[Taar]

Same. And the "except for" list doesn't work with character names.

[Buriancl]

Ok I'm new to lich and bigshot. Two issues I'm currently having

1) after my character is fully rested he just sits there. He doesn't go back to hunting. I have the shouldhunt? setting to when percentmind<=25, and percentmana>= 90

2) I use the loot.lic, but with Bigshot running it wont wait for the skinning to be done.

FYI, I'm a complete moron when it comes to any kind of scripting. So will have to explain to me like i'm dumb.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: guess I should add I'm running on Stormfront and not trying to do anything fancy. Just hunting past low levels.

[Tillmen]

2) I use the loot.lic, but with Bigshot running it wont wait for the skinning to be done.

Bigshot expects a looting script to start, loot, and then exit. That's not how loot.lic works. But fear not, you just need to download waitloot.lic and tell Bigshot that that's your looting script. loot.lic will still be doing the looting, but Bigshot won't continue until waitloot exits, and waitloot won't exit until loot.lic is finished looting.

[Buriancl]

[Buriancl]

Ok, another question. When going to rest, it has the pre-rest commands. And I had sit, as the last command to help with absorption. However, after doing so he stands up to run sloot sell and what not. Hot can I do all that and still go back to sitting afterwards?

[songstorm]

Hello! My goal is to use cman charge while above 0 stamina. I can't find the numerical code to use this in the society abilities/spells/cmans Hunting tab. I tried inputting cman charge(s99) in the hunting commands field. Any ideas? :)

[Soulance]

If no one responds quickly, you can try doing a cman charge and then do a ;magic and it might list the number within the ;magic display... I know that's how I found one of the Voln abilities not listed. I'm sure there's a better way though.

[DaCapn]

Look at the spell-list.xml file in your scripts directory where all of that data is stored. (EDIT: I suppose this is just a reply to Soulance since a spell number for CM CHARGE wouldn't exist and songstorm's question is nonsensical, especially with regards to the field he is talking about, BTW: mouse-over the text field)

Personally, I'd suggest writing an attack script.

[Soulance]

Yea, when you mouse over the input window it lists a bunch of #s associated with CoL and about 2 associated with Voln so I had to figure out the 3rd one that way. I thought it might show up under ;magic but then figured probably not cause it's an instant thing and would probably go away righr away.

[Soulance]

As I look at it I think you would want it to be opposite with the number 99 you have - cman charge (s00) or the number you don't want it to go below.

Sorry, it was early in the morning when I read it.

Was about to post this exact same thing.

[SashaFierce]

You could try using the script iSigns

[Pneumothorax]

Yeah I was able to workaround by using sigils2 as an active hunting script in bigshot. It's probably better. That way I can use sigils to manage my sigils while I manually hunt or do bounties etc.

[Vusit]

is there a way to get bigshot to move around in less then defensive? hunting pookas and the stun is annoying.

I'm a new player and this is my first time using bigshot. I have it setup to hunt rats in the catacombs but it often just runs right past them rather than attack. It seems to recognize them sporadically and I am not sure exactly why it is behaving in this way. Any ideas?

If you are hunting in the nexus, there's a strange quirk with the map in that area and bigshot will not work down there. You can either hunt elsewhere or use a different script.

Yeah seems that area is just buggy, thanks.

One more question, when using Bigshot to MA the Tail keeps getting left behind because I have waggle as one of my active resting scripts, so when they get back to town the Tail starts buffing himself and the Head just runs off doing its thing. Any way to delay waggle triggering until they arrive in their rest area?

[Buckwheet]

Why does casting spells make the tail stay behind? I would assume that you are in the same group still? So what is breaking the group?

[Arkanax]

Not sure why the tail was getting lost, but I've got it worked out now I think.

[Insodus]

Anyone know how to make on of the tails be the skinner? While still keeping the head as the looter?

[Hazado]

Decided to take over the repo for Bigshot. Please send all your issues to me. :P
Send me code you have that you would like added.

Uploaded my version of bigshot to the repo.

-Added UAC combat! Start it with hunting command "unarmed punch/jab/kick/grapple"
-Added options for UAC in setup
-Added options for MSTRIKEing in setup
-Rewrote MSTRIKE routine, Now checks against various options to see if its a good time to mstrike. So check the options in setup and set them up for the desired effect.
-can now check mana/stamina/health(percentage)/encumbrance/unarmed tiering inside the hunting commands
-Changed wander routine to hit every room in area instead of random wandering

[Stavman]

Does it do an option to Mstrike (swing) multiple critters vs 3x at one critter or better yet Both? Say 3x at 1 critter in room or if there are 2+ will swing at multiple? Thats my biggest issue Now
Also does it check for those pesky Hidden Rouges... um... Like Me:devil:

Thanks

[Hazado]

Yes and yes

Seems there are bugs

Target dosent work.. IE stance for and kill target, mstrike,kil target(x2)

seems (b) option isnt working when I ambush IE ogre(b), boar, viper(c) and for boar i have Ambush Head but isnt changing to Head.. is defaulting to L leg. and after leg is gone... it just keeps timing out on trying to ambush L leg over and over and over

[Stavman]

went back to old bigshot and it worked as normal

[Hazado]

Okay think I fixed those issues
-Changed up the ambush command so it ambushes what you said to ambush first, then attempts right leg, left leg, then chest
-Added an option to trigger the mstrike during UAC combat, other MSTRIKE options apply
-Few fixes to MSTRIKE routine, now checks number of creatures in room as an equal or greater
-Fixed bug caused when doing commands like "stance for and kill target"

[Gnomad]

Okay think I fixed those issues
-Changed up the ambush command so it ambushes what you said to ambush first, then attempts right leg, left leg, then chest

Why would I want to ambush both legs? Heck, if you're gonna pick multiple locations, can we just choose them?

Some creatures stop attacking if you break both legs

[Hazado]

Why would I want to ambush both legs? Heck, if you're gonna pick multiple locations, can we just choose them?
I could do that if you like, Did it with aiming for UAC.
I set both legs because it will definetly keep them on the ground for things that have 4 legs.

Did that log you post happen with the latest version I posted on the repo?

[Hazado]

v3.32 (2016-06-02)
-Changed aiming for UAC to continue until if finds something you can hit or just hits them like normal
-Added Voln Smite to command, use Smite in your hunting commands
-Rewrote Ambush again! Now has the option to pick locations you want to ambush at on the hunting page
Also supports it from the hunting command i.e. "ambush head"
If left blank without picking any options in setup will default to Head, Right Leg, Left Leg, Chest

How do you slow down the speed of wandering? I remember there is a number you can change, but damn all if I can find it.

Look for bs_wander inside the script.
Ive commented out the pauses, just remove the # to put back in the pause for wandering.

Any idea if I download this update will it mess with my current settings?

[Hazado]

Any idea if I download this update will it mess with my current settings?

Nope, It shouldn't. I added more options but your current settings should still work just fine.

[Taernath]

Kept my current settings, but my loot script (sloot) is activating during RT and causing me to leave kills.

[Soulance]

Nope, It shouldn't. I added more options but your current settings should still work just fine.
Thanks. Been wanting to try out the updates but nervous I'd have to enter it all again. Not that it's a huge deal. Just that I actually have it working pretty good at the moment so I didn't want to mess with anything. But the changes you've made sound good and I'm glad someone is maintaining this thing.

I think you need to update your sloot as that shouldnt happen.

Im going to upload a fix on bigshot side later today. Basically it wont start the loot script until your out of RT. Should fix your issue but look into updating your sloot script.

[Hazado]

v3.34 (2016-06-08)
-Added aiming for archery to the Hunting tab in setup.
Will change location once you stick the place your aiming at, looping until the creature is dead
-Made gathering ammo a bit more specific about what its grabbing and where its putting it.
Also works with bolts and darts now if you gathered things to the ground.

[izawwlgood]

Recommendation! I'd like to know if bigshot can report 'average actions to kill', i.e., how many casts it takes to kill the critter i'm hunting. It'd be neat if this could be displayed while resting. I'm mostly curious to try and find out which spells are more effective at killing.

Thanks!

[Khelbaen]

Is there a command syntax to perform a different attack based on number of creatures in the room? ex. creatures >/= 2 shield trample vs. creatures =1 shield bash?

[Hazado]

v3.35 (2016-06-14)
-Added option for attacks to only trigger when certain number of creatures are in the room.
Just add (mob#) to the attack you want to do

must all be inside the () and seperated with a space
current checks are mana/stamina/health(percentage)/encumbrance/unarmed tiering/mobs in room
m/s/h/e/tier/mob respectively

[Hazado]

v3.38 (2016-06-25)
-added command check for target not being prone or target being undead
current checks are mana/stamina/health(percentage)/encumbrance/unarmed tiering/mobs in room/target not prone/target undead
m/s/h/e/tier/mob/prone/undead respectively
Prone means target is sleeping|webbed|stunned|kneeling|sitting|lying down|prone|frozen|held in place

Check out https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Script_Bigshot for more info on setup and possible commands.

[Hazado]

Check out https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Script_Bigshot for more info on setup and possible commands.

[izawwlgood]

I'm curious to see if, for example, 302 or 312 are resulting in more kills per mana spent. Kill tracker that scores this please!

[Hazado]

V3.40 (2016-06-30)
-Mstrike will now cast 1107 and 1607 when appropriate

v3.42 (2016-06-30)
-Fix for mob command check due to recent change
-Optimized the escort npc check

[MrMortimur]

downloaded newest version this morning and the head/tail walk past creatures still. If there is a creature in the starting room it *will* kill that before it begins walking around and ignoring everything else.

[Jcitalia4]

So I'm trying to get a command line going for bigshot for a 2Her warmage, he's only lvl 14 so something like '505 target (m6 prone), wait 5, kill target' but would also like to have a different command if the bounty is against undead. Would that be like '1700 target (undead) xx, 505 target (m6 prone), wait 5, kill target' ? The first line seems to stall out, it preps 505 and then cant find anything to cast at. Any advice?

[Khelbaen]

since I DL'd the latest version bigshot is ignoring all targets other than those in the begin hunting room.

I hunt solo, no MA.

[Exkain]

Yep, same.

No longer works regardless of options changed.

-Fix for the Fix :(

Sorry everyone, Didn't test my changes to the Escort checking as well as I should have.
Just uploaded a new version that I tested. Please let me know any error you experience now.

[Jcitalia4]

awesome, thank you. by the way, love the kweed command. Just noticed it. I think another thing that would be a useful check is if you were hidden or not (not sure if that is something that already exists). Could ensure I don't spam 608 back to back unnecessarily.

[Jcitalia4]

just tried the group hunting feature and group is just walking past all the mobs. This what other folk were having issues with before?

EDIT: nevermind, rebooted GS and that seems to have fixed it.

When group hunting, does it recognise when a member is hurt and stop the script?

Yes It should recognize it if your group member is setup correctly.

[Hazado]

v3.44 (2016-07-01)
-Fix for the fix for the fix!!
-Added a check for spell 608 to skip if already hidden
-Added hidden and !hidden a command check, hidden only works when your hiding, !hidden when your not hiding

So, screwed up my escort npc check in my rush to fix it :P
Working now, and shouldn't cause issues *fingers crossed*

[MrMortimur]

Told you in game but so everyone else knows, head+tail works great. Have to read about all the other additions you've added, only played with the uac and mstrike settings so far and I love them.

After another 15 or so hunts I've found a few things that don't play nice.

1. If the group is broken because of something done to the head, after regrouping it'll begin passing creatures again. Examples of group breaking would be executioners/defenders attempting to drown the lead character. Another would be the warcry fear that sends people into other rooms with RT.

2. Edited second observation after another number of hunts. I think the following scenario is to blame for causing me issues. My group will enter a room and tear through the creature(s) present, sloot will run and finish, just as bigshot is about to move me to another room to continue an executioner or magus will attempt to ambush me from hiding, bigshot will then move along and begin skipping creatures. I had this scenario happen 5x today after I ruled out hunting past fried being the issue of why/when I'd start skipping creatures.

[indomitable]

having downloaded the latest bigshot, it now has a strange (likely unintended - i hope?) behavior.

it sends me to rest when my UAC gloves or boots run out of bless.
I really don't give a shit if they're blessed. Can I get an option to turn this feature off please? (or more appropriately- an option to turn it on?)

[Hazado]

UPDATE!

v3.45 (2016-07-09)
-better code for checking for an escort, less error prone now (:
-fixed rare issue with ambusher jumping out of hiding just as go to move and it screwing up bigshot
-UAC Bless option changed so that you can leave it blank and it wont stop hunting. Has tooltip explaining different options.

#1 is intended behavior, If the tails dont see the Head they attempt to group up on the head and then it continues hunting.
#2 Should be fixed with latest update.

nothing to see here

[Kazner]

Been gone for awhile. I am just know getting back into the swing of things. I am not sure if I just have a setup issue or if there is something wrong. I am running a MA, the issue I am having is on the way to the hunting ground that I have setup. I have two areas that hang up. Once the head goes over a pile the tail will not follow and the head just stands still waiting. I have the same thing happen when I climb some stairs. If i manually move the tail over the pile or climb the stairs and again manually join the head everything works great. Any advice would be great.

Thanks,
Kaz

P.S I am using big shot V3.43

[Stavman]

So a Thought...

What about an option, say yer Hunting Suplicants.. and then a Dogmastic pops into the room, so youd Rather Focus on It now instead of the Suplicant????

Is that Possible... easy... do-able...

[Hazado]

v3.50 (2016-07-24)
-Untargetable and Targetable lists now use the name instead of noun.
Option to clear these so they can start fresh using ;bigshot reset. This will fix the issue for being unable to target guards in warcamps.

-Fix for Head/Tail Routine. Head wasn't waiting for the tail members to join bigshot group.

[Jcitalia4]

;bigshot quick seems to have stopped working for me. Tried to do a reset but wont work on kobolds outside the south gate when I tested it. Do i need to do something else after the reset?

Lol, was about to say, people have told me they have less lag using this new version than the old one.
Thank you for reporting though. Need to see these things to fix issues.

If you could do a ;bigshot display and PM me the result please! Will go a long way to helping figure out whats going on for you.

[izawwlgood]

There seems to be a memory leak issue that... sometimes? occurs with older versions? Make sure you have the newest version.

Weirdly now though, bigshot appears to be PREPAREing, then CHANNELing, instead of just INCANTing spells. Not sure why that changed.

I changed incant so that it uses the spell routine. This prevents it from burning your nerves. Next update should include better support for different incant modes.

What hunting command are you using currently for this to happen?

[izawwlgood]

I thought that was the purpose of the (m#) tag? That it wouldn't INCANT the spell if you were below that amount of mana? I currently have it set to 705(m5).

I'm really not sure what causes the lag though, it seems quite random, and honestly, only occurs on one of my machines.

[Hazado]

v3.53 (2016-07-29)
-Incant should now work for any incant combination
-Bless can now bless two weapons that lose bless in same attack

[Zho]

Also getting lag from bigshot. Soon as I kill it, the lag stops and all the actions scroll rapidly by. Also weird; earlier, I had attempted to open another instance of the FE while I was lagging. They both remained opened. This never happens (with Wizard), as the original instance typically closes as a new connection is made. It didn't last long but instead of the original closing, the newest instance did. I'll PM you my bigshot display.

[Hazado]

v3.54 (2016-07-30)
-REIM! Quick update for some support for reim creatures
-Smite tracks individual mobs now, So if you switch creatures before killing it, will smite the new one

v3.55 (2016-07-31)
-Target tracking for Aura of the Arkati (1614). Wont cast again on something that is affected.
-More Reim creatures added, Still missing creatures from the gypsy camp probably, celestial types
-New Command check: noncorporeal - Will see if current creature is non-corporeal undead
-New Command check: pcs - Will check for other non-grouped players in the room

Check out GameObjAdd.lic on the repo!

[izawwlgood]

The weird lag is back.

[Hazado]

For multicharacter hunting, the starting and hunting bit is going great. However, run into issues when returning to town as all characters disappear to (or attempt to and start wandering) do their resting scripts (;useherbs --buy=on, ;slootsell etc.). What're other folk doing here? Sloot sell on just the head character? Keeping a watchful eye on injuries and manually sorting them?

[Hazado]

v3.57 (2016-08-04)
-Bigshot won't consider arms(709) and demons(725) as room creatures for targeting or fleeing purposes
-Priority should now ignore some NPCs when it does its calculations

[Hazado]

v3.58 (2016-08-07)
-companions and familiars should now be excluded from fleeing and targeting stuff
-companions and familiars count for poaching checks now just like a disk does
this check only works for solo hunters, group bigshot hunters will ignore this
-Ambushers that are part of your group should no longer trigger the poaching routine
-Bigshot will on first run for a Ranger with a companion set your companion to a variable.
You can reset this variable with ;bigshot ranger or ;bigshot companion

Please let me know if you encounter issues! Lots of stuff going on with this new version.

If you find it doesn't work for you, You can download the old version with ;repo download bigshot.lic --version=3.57

kweed (m30),stance defensive and hide (!hidden),fire target

Is the command like i've been using.

Tried to adjust the script in the meantime to 608 (!hidden m30), stance defensive and hide (!hidden), fire target but it keeps casting 608 at my targets instead of myself.

Try "incant 608(!hidden m30), stance defensive and hide (!hidden), fire target"
If that doesn't work, well I'll fix it somehow :P

Yeah, just thought of that. Will try that when im next on thanks!

[Hazado]

v3.59 (2016-08-13)
-To prevent me having to duplicate code, Bigshot will now download GameObjAdd.lic and make it autostart
-Spells should no longer target npcs when they are meant to target you. Let me know if something happens otherwise.

Setup instructions here - https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Script_Bigshot

GameObjAdd.lic adds to the categories for lich. This helps it recognize items and creatures better.

Bigshot Setup Instructions here - https://gswiki.play.net/Script_Bigshot

When enabling the 130/return checkbox, it is casting 130 at odd times.

The first time I enabled it, it cast it about 4 rooms into patrolling the hunting area.

The second time, it did it just after I enabled bigshot. In any event, it seems to want to default to 130 when I would prefer it used sym of return, so I doubt I'm going to use it anyways.

-Fix for new fogging option triggering at weird times.

Oops, never actually tested that bit of code.
Fixed now.

Yes, it defaults to 130 first, then voln return.
Guess I could make it an option instead.

[OldSkool]

Much better! Thanks for the update!

How does the mstrike usage work? I'm trying to open mstrike on 2 targets, but it doesn't do it at all. I have all the mstrike settings filled out.

Need to put mstrike in your hunting commands

I did, but then it starts mstriking regardless of critter count. It is casting 1607, but that's the extent of the interaction.

try Mstrike(mob2) instead

Works great, thanks.

-UAC Mstrike no longer will ignore the number of creatures in the room in some instances.
-Option to flee the room when player-defined message from the game happen
Check the Attacking tab for box to input your text
-Fixed issue with bigshot not targeting "do not count these" targets
-Fixed issue with force command until # not working correctly

Just thought I would offer this up in case you wanted to add it to your bigshot updates.



elsif( command =~ /^hasteattack/i )
cmd_hasteattack( npc )




def cmd_hasteattack( npc )
#if Spell[506].timeleft <= 0.1 then Spell[506].cast
return unless Spell[506].known? and Spell[506].active? and Spell[506].timeleft >= 0.1
dothistimeout "attack ##{npc.id}", 1, /^You thrust\!$/
waitrt?
end


Feel free to improve it if possible.

My hunting commands look like this: wait 15,hasteattack target(x30)

Mainly for warmages, this will only swing if haste is active and has a greater duration than 6? seconds. So you don't accidentally swing just after it wears off.

I supplement this attack method with a 506 script.



#506

setpriority(-2)
Spell[506].cast

loop{
sleep 3
if Spell[506].active? and Spell[506].timeleft <= 0.1 then Spell[506].cast
end
}


So that it recasts the spell just before it wears off.


I'm sure you could probably do it a little better and tie it all into bigshot.

[SashaFierce]

This is my ranged routine:



def cmd_fire(target)
waitrt?
return if target.status =~ /dead|gone/
if target.status !~ /prone|lay|sit|kneel|stunned/
fput "get 1 my arrow"
fput "aim right leg"
fput ("fire ##{target.id}")
elsif target.status =~ /prone|sit|lay|kneel|stun|sleep/
fput "get 1 my arrow"
fput "aim right eye"
fput ("fire ##{target.id}")
end
end


It will shoot the right leg to force a prone, then a right eye. I still need to play with your version some more, I only tried it for a minute, but if you wanted to incorporate something like this I would appreciate it.

I'd like to update it to switch to the left eye after the right eye has been poked without a kill shot, but that was a little outside my abilities.

Bigshot's ammo bundling has worked beautifully for my ranged character.

[Hazado]

This is my ranged routine:
Ive already added aiming for ranged. Check the attack tab.

The haste stuff I can incorporate, will get that in the next version.

I forget why I removed it. It was doing something unintended.

I did an update to bigshot ammo gathering, a while back.

No, it's been a long time since I've updated.

Your new stuff looks great, I've just been too lazy to copy/paste my hasteattack and any other changes I've made.

[Hazado]

v3.63 (2016-08-23)
-Added option to use Celerity (506) for any command.
Will cast if you dont have it on you or you have less than 6 seconds or so left on haste.
Just add haste or 506 to the front of any command you want it to be cast before.
example: "506 kill target" or "haste kill target(x3),525(pcs)"

[Gnomad]

6 seconds is way overkill for 506, especially for low-level characters who find it expensive to keep running. You're giving up on 10% of the duration that way. Your RT is gonna be low enough that you'll definitely get 2-5 more attacks in with 6 seconds left, unless you're like a level 6 character is super heavy lag.

1 second is fine, 0.5 is fine, 0.1 works too.

The way it's currently set up, it will cast 506 right before you attack.

It doesn't loopcast 506 like I would prefer, but I'm capped so mana means nothing at this point. If it is changed to loopcast, I don't disagree with the point you're making. Instead of .1, .05 is probably better. (3 seconds).


The main goal for me, is for bigshot to cast 506 when I'm not in battle, and 506 is running low on time left. I'd prefer it to cast in that search out a creature time, rather than cast it once I find one. Because then I have to wait 3 seconds before I can start killing it.


(It also goes into stance offensive to cast the 506.) This could be problematic for lower level hunters.

If you want it to loop cast add it your "society abilities/spells/cmans" list, that way it will always be up.

Next version will have it set to recast if 506 has 3 seconds or less on it and it wont change to your hunting stance before casting.

I think I may have tried this, and it would double cast.

I'll try again and let you know but I think that's why I didn't do that.


All the work on updating Bigshot is hugely appreciated though.

[Hazado]

v3.64 (2016-08-23)
-Changed Celerity option to only recast if you have less than 3 seconds left
-Changed Celerity option so it doesn't change into your attacking stance before casting
-Changed Fog return option to be an option pulldown instead of a checkbox, defaults to None
