Bot suddenly got real slow

[Artemus]

I've had a little problem emerge and hope someone can help me debug. I made a bunch of mods to my cleric macro and now he is VERY slow to respond. For example, when I say follow, he does not move for at least 10 seconds. That's ridiculous. He's also slow on the draw to heal. Any ideas?

40oz made a version you can try out. think he customized it some to reduce lag. though if you aren't pulling, I would highly recommend using the mq2bot plugin.

 

[Artemus]

It's not the macro though. All I did was change the ini and suddenly it got slow. So the problem isn't with the macro.

 

[ticker000]

The ini you posted has a lot of issues and for whatever reason, you insist on using old spells instead of new ones.

1) Get rid of all the stuff you don't need or don't use. I've noticed it makes a small difference and adds up. You have so many things set to don't use that doesn't need to be there and if it was turned on, you wouldn't like the results.

2) Spell Casting Subtlety is listed. I'm assuming you are in a group since your melee is turned off. In that case, why would you ever want this turned off? Get rid of it.

3) Your aura section was filled in incorrectly. The Icon section was wrong and your aura name was missing. On a side note, have you not completed the AA for the second aura slot or do you not have the Aura of the Reverent spell?

4) You misspelled Vie on Rallied Greater Ward of Vie.

5) And since you are using Vie, I'm assuming this cleric is 105. If this assumption is correct, is there a reason you are using Mark of the Zealot instead of Mark of Vicarum?

6) Change the gem # of Mark of the Zealot to gem7 instead of gem07

7) Remove the Heal Self Section since you aren't using it.

8) Word of Greater Reformation isn't a heal balance, it's a group heal. Remove it and add in Divine Arbitration.

9) Remove HealSplash section since you aren't using it.

10) On your HoT that you are using for your MT buff, why use Reverent Elixir instead of Ardent Elixer or even Elixer of the Seas?

11) Any reason you are using Chromacrush rather than Chromabash?

12) Your Combat Frequency is a mess which is why your cleric is running slow in combat. Here are your following problems:

A) Why is Buff listed in Combat Frequency? Combat Frequency is just that; how many times per cycle (frequency) to perform said actions in combat. You don't perform the buff section in combat. You do it out of combat. Remove it.

B) You don't have a HealSelf section filled out (see note 7) so erase it from the Combat Freq.

C) Don't be listing the same thing in multiple lines of the Combat Frequency. Listing HealSingle in Combat Frequency 1, 2, and 3 doesn't make the bot heal more, it bogs it down.

13) Dot, Heal Pet, XHeal, Clicky Maintance, Clicky Nuke sections are all not used. Delete them.

Anyway, those were some of the issues I found off the top of my head. Here's a cleaned up version of what you submitted. By no means have I tested this or anything. I just noticed some issues and fixed them. The points where I asked why you are using older spells have not been replaced since I wasn't sure if you wanted to use the newer spell:

I did find something interesting. I watched the cleric while the macro was running and noticed he was cycling through every toon, even mercs, and the chanter pet. So until he cycled through everybody, he would not answer the follow command.

The ini you posted has a lot of issues and for whatever reason, you insist on using old spells instead of new ones.

First, thanks for the thorough eval. I was more focused on leveling the cleric than keeping the INI up to date, hence the old spells.

1) Get rid of all the stuff you don't need or don't use. I've noticed it makes a small difference and adds up. You have so many things set to don't use that doesn't need to be there and if it was turned on, you wouldn't like the results.

A lot of shit that I remove comes back. For example, I cut out all the XHeal stuff and as soon as I run the macro again, it returns. Ditto the standard combat options. I take stuff like Bard and Dot out and they return.

2) Spell Casting Subtlety is listed. I'm assuming you are in a group since your melee is turned off. In that case, why would you ever want this turned off? Get rid of it.

No I want it for named fights.

3) Your aura section was filled in incorrectly. The Icon section was wrong and your aura name was missing. On a side note, have you not completed the AA for the second aura slot or do you not have the Aura of the Reverent spell?

Again, I let that slide while I focused on leveling.

4) You misspelled Vie on Rallied Greater Ward of Vie.

5) And since you are using Vie, I'm assuming this cleric is 105. If this assumption is correct, is there a reason you are using Mark of the Zealot instead of Mark of Vicarum?

Mark, and the nuke, are both removed so the cleric will focus on healing.

8) Word of Greater Reformation isn't a heal balance, it's a group heal. Remove it and add in Divine Arbitration.

A group heal is good enough for heal balance, no?

10) On your HoT that you are using for your MT buff, why use Reverent Elixir instead of Ardent Elixer or even Elixer of the Seas?

Again, I let it slide to level.

11) Any reason you are using Chromacrush rather than Chromabash?

I don't use the nuke any more.

13) Dot, Heal Pet, XHeal, Clicky Maintance, Clicky Nuke sections are all not used. Delete them.

Again, heal pet and that other shit keeps getting added back.

Anyway, those were some of the issues I found off the top of my head. Here's a cleaned up version of what you submitted. By no means have I tested this or anything. I just noticed some issues and fixed them. The points where I asked why you are using older spells have not been replaced since I wasn't sure if you wanted to use the newer spell:

Thank you very much. I'll get to testing.

 

[ticker000]

1. The reason that stuff returns after you remove it is because you never removed it from the OptionsCheck at the beginning of the ini.

2. Spell casting subtlety doesn't work that way. It used to be a passive AA where you bought it and it lowered your aggro. Some classes such as necros didn't like that idea that, while it worked well in groups, it sucked for snare kiting where you didn't want your pet to take aggro. In response, DBG made it so you can enable or disable it. It's not your traditional activated aa where you hit it and it creates a buff for 2 minutes. As it stands, you may be disabling it during named fights and increasing your cleric's agro. If you are not tanking with your cleric, I can't think of any reason you would want to disable it hence why put it in.

3. Typically I put Heal Balance first on the CombatFrequency5 setting because it's my "oh shit" heal and I want it to check first. I wouldn't use Word there because a) its already being checked for in your Group Heal section. and b) it has a 4 second base casting time or 2.8 if you have top focus effects. If shit is hitting the fan, do you really want your cleric to cast a 4 second heal that is subject to global cooldowns or would you rather it cast a .8 second balance that is not limited by global cooldown?

4. Last and not least, I perfectly understand why you didn't bother updating your ini as you leveled. To be honest though, I would have definitely used the bot plugin that way you didn't have to worry about updating ini files every level and then could have done a complete ini at 105 or stayed with the plugin and made some tweeks to that ini section.

I hope none of this sounds condescending. I'm just trying to offer some suggestions for when you do take the time to fill out the ini, you can get more out of the bot.

 

[Artemus]

Not at all. I know context doesn't come through the net very well but I never took offense.

I dont use the bot plugin because it doesn't have the fine grain control of the macro, like saving AA for named. Notice that we can trade and share macro INIs but not the plugin. When the day comes people are sharing and trading INIs for the plugin I'll look at it.

MQ2bot can be be controlled to the exact same fidelity as the macro, only runs faster.

As Pete said earlier, you do have a lot of control over the plugin. For instance, you mentioned getting AAs or spells to selectively fire. For the plugin you can achieve this one of two ways. The First way is by adjusting the setting in your server ini under the MQ2Bot section that says "AACutoffTime=10" What this means is any AA that is listed when you start up the bot with a refresh time of 10 min or less, it will fire on any mob. Anything larger than that, and it will only fire on named mobs (I think. Pete can correct me on this) . If you set it lower, it will save anything over that amount for named only. So if you set it to say AACutoffTime=7, any listed AA with a refresh timer of 7 minutes or less will fire when its up and anything greater than 7 will fire only on named.

Now lets say you want it to be a mix. If you have one AA with an 8 minute refresh that you want for named only and an AA with a ten minute refresh that you want it to pop whenever its up, you obviously can't fix it with the AACutoffTime adjustment. In this case, you keep the adjustment at 10 and let's assume when you typed /bot on, the AA you wanted to save for named was called FightBuff3=Frenzied Devistation. Go to your server ini and scroll down to the MQ2bot section and add in the following line near the bottom:

FightBuffIf3=${Bot.Named}

With that command, the FightBuff3 will only fire if the bot senses it is a named. You can also use ${Target.Named} although Pete says the Bot.Named is more accurate so I'll believe him. You can set conditions for any spell or AA listed when you /bot on. All you have to do is add the condition to the server ini in the MQ2bot section. Want Nuke0 to only cast when there are 3 or more mobs in camp? Just put NukeIf0=${Bot.AddCount[100]}>2. What this tells the plugin is to fire Nuke0 when there are more than 2 mobs within 100 range of you (in other words in camp). You can pretty much personalize any aa or spell you want with the if commands. If you look at the Bot plugin Wiki, Pete has added a lot of really useful TLOs that make filling out conditions a lot easier.

With that said I have found some quarks when setting up the bot plugin for my team (which I need to ask Pete about in the MQ2bot thread) that may be a road block for some. In addition, I have found that some of my characters do far better with the plugin such as the bard and shaman, while others such as my mage nearly double the damage operating on the macro instead of the plugin. Once you get your characters where you want them and are ready to fill out the ini files, I would try both and see which one works best for you.

 

[Artemus]

Look if it wasn't obvious, I'm not very good at programming INIs. I'm very dependent on shared INIs for the macro. When we get to the point we are trading INIs for the plugin like we do for the macro I'll look at it. Right now I'd rather stay with what I sorta know than something I don't know at all.

 

[ticker000]

No worries, I understand. If you have a change of heart and are interested in learning about it, you are more than welcome to PM me and I'll help you out.

 

[Artemus]

BTW your edits are working nicely. So thanks again.

 

[PeteSampras]

BTW your edits are working nicely. So thanks again.

You might be interested in the core mq2bot changes I am currently making as it will include the option to have inis identical to bot.mac that you can share around. It will need some testing, but once done it will let you decide every spell to use, or automatically do it for you, or a combination in between. I can't speak to when it will be done because that is entirely dependent on user testing and feedback. Could be days, could be weeks, could be longer.

I can't speak to when it will be done because that is entirely dependent on user testing and feedback. Could be days, could be weeks, could be longer.

While I'm working to make small fixes to bot.mac, the only things that really turns me away from the plugin are:

1. I can't fix things when they are broke, because it is closed source as far as I can tell.
2. I can't fine tune them in the INI
3. When a crash happens, it takes a lot longer to recover as all of EQ crashes, as opposed to the mac failing with an error message to go diagnose.

I'm happy #2 is slowly being solved, but what about #1? Am I wrong and have missed the source somewhere? I'd love to try to contribute, though it's been years since I've done C/C++, I live in python/ruby/bash/Java/various DSL land for work, not C, but I'd be happy to try. If user testing is more useful, I can stop looking at bot.mac and help there. Also, from my limited understanding of how MQ injects itself, I assume there's no good way around #3?

#1. I occasionally post parts of the code, but it is otherwise limited to those with developer access. I was able to obtain developer access by contributing to the baseline source code via adding TLO members and other things as well as creating and updating bot. I can't speak for fry/htw but it was obviously the case for me that if you show an initiative and contribute then dev access isnt out of the realm of possibility. i knew 0 c/c++ until i started writing mq2bot. i am slowly getting better at plugin coding but i still dont know how to do the base code.

#3. CTD is it. though if you have all the source code and pdb files you can at least see where it crashed. I asked for help here and there to write the plugin but it was really just trial and error and so i have a lot of bad practices in there that brainiac/htw/fry will occasionally correct to make things stop crashing. Now that I can am familiar enough with c/c++ for what is in the plugin, i want to go back and make it better. I have been stuck on a spawn tracker/buff routine and realized some other core code needs to be in place to reduce the number of checks/calculations/redundancy. I am trying to frontload as much info as possible on the load (which takes less than a second) so that I can remove hundreds to thousands of checks per cycle while massively expanding customization options.

That's what I figured on both fronts. Thanks for the info =) I'll just do my thing then, and what happens happens.
