Hey guys,

When I run mq2bot all my characters are smooth except for my shaman. Although it is functional, it is extremely choppy and laggy. It is the only character that does this while running mq2bot.

Any troubleshooting ideas to try to fix that?
 
I don't know if it is connected but I have had issues with my cleric and shaman for 5 months or so. I have a fps monitor and it goes from 80 fps to 20 when I turn bot on. Have tried everything from scratch and not a difference. Only thing that works is in your character bot.ini changed cycle delay from 3 to as high as i can get it and still live but that is a dangerous trade-off in my opinion lol. I have noticed the more you have in grp to heal anyway the slower it is framerate wise. If I have my cleric outside grp to heal it is better.

MQ2Bot Troubleshooting:
In your post attach the following:

[MQ2Bot] section of your character's MQ2 INI (serverName_characterName.ini in MQ2 folder)
Debug log (MQ2Bot_serverName_characterName.log in MQ2 Logs folder)


To enable debugging use the following commands:

/bot Debugging=1
/bot DoDebug=1

Post your log, hopefully we can see what is going wrong from there.

Shakuras has mentioned something about silent casting causing problems with MQ2Bot but it hasn't been investigated properly yet.

Is that what you were needing to see?

That's your settings.

I need the debug that is showing what MQ2Bot is trying to do.


To enable debugging use the following commands:

/bot Debugging=1
/bot DoDebug=1

Do a few pulls, then get the file from MQ2Bot_serverName_characterName.log in MQ2 Logs folder and attach it to post.

We should in theory in the debug file see it spam casting something over and over.
 
Hmm. I saw names of my characters pop up about 300 times after posting those lol.
 
Email sent to ya. Thanks soo much for taking a look at it!
 
Framerates

I have the lag issue as well. The frame rate issue will stop as long as a spell is being cast, as soon as the spell is finished casting, the frame rate issue returns.
 
It looks like there is a problem in the debuff routine that the shaman uses.

I need someone better at C++ to look into this further as it's a little over my head.
 
I was messing around with a Heroic Shaman today and I couldn't replicate the lag.

My first guess, would be to disable your two ClickyNukes and see if lag goes away.

If that doesn't work, start disabling spells and AA's until it goes away. Once it does, let us know what it was so we can dig further into the cause to get it resolved.

I'm still looking at that Silent Casting as causing problems, so try disabling. AAIf1=0 Will do it

Here is a list of your spells from the log to help.

Very good observation. I just checked, and it does clear up WHILE a spell is being cast. I didn't pick up on that detail before.

Is your issue with shaman only, or other classes as well?
 
Lag

Cleric and Shaman right now.

Cleric I had thought I resolved. Was chain casting some AAs, Epics and Chest clicks.
I disabled my Nuke options and yaulp, which cleared it up. But its back again.


For long play sessions I end up having to log the cleric and shaman out completely and then reload them after about 4 hours. Otherwise their response time goes down.

My bard does it occasionally. Plus, for some reason, after TOV release, he will not sit to med. I have to sit him on a mount.

My shaman does this as well. I found it was a mq2melee downshit issue conflicting with the bot.
 
Lag

The 2 I experience this lag on have no Holy/Downshits. Melee was causing lag issues when it was taking control of Yaulp (situations where we are not mounted) But I turned it off.

For Shammy, I will double check, but I dont believe he has anything melee related.
 
MQ2Bot Shaman has stopped debuffing since this mornings push.

Setting xtarget to assist makes him debuff

It's the most common reason, that either group role(s) are not properly assigned, or certain/all toons do not have XT1 properly set.
