ACME Crafting BOT

Silentprotaganist · 04/08/2016, 01:54

2 pics there, 1 is the error and it's a generic Windows error. I haven't tried to run it in any sort of compatibility mode yet. I'm running 64 bit Windows 10.

2nd is the Hotkey section. I didn't hotkey everything. I just hotkeyed what I thought (read) was necessary. My usual practice is to switch to the class I want to craft with, open my recipe book and then start the bot. It works, it's just hyperactive with the occasional mistake which I can live with. That said if most people have it working like buttah that would be preferable. Performance SHOULD be fine. Anytime I've checked the FPS it's been a steady 60. My bars look all sorts of messed up because I usually use a PS4 controller and just switch to PC controls for the bot. I made 2 bars shareable so I could use them as a template so for any new classes I start I know exactly where to put each skill as I learn it.

I could always create a short 10 second clip of what it looks like if you're curious.

you have a sounds directory in your install? (aka you extracted the first file then extracted the update over?)

your hotkey setup might cause you problems, you have skills bound to 1,2,3,4,5 and stuff bound to ctrl+1,2,3,4,5

Silentprotaganist · 04/08/2016, 02:04

Didn't extract on top no, just copy/pasted the files I saw that were created in the top level folder than we're missing in the newly downloaded one (which I assumed we're my saved settings. I had the same issue across both versions. It's not just since the newly dropped version Tuesday.

I am open to the idea that it has to do with how I have my hotkeys setup. Would tend to think that messed up hotkeys would be a make/break type of thing, not works pretty good but not perfect scenario which is what I have.

The skills I have bound to 1-10 are a part of my PS4 hotbar I believe so I would use that when not using the bot. I could experiment by trying to remove them all and see what happens. Thing is it's not when it's crafting it's going crazy, maybe I wasn't clear, it's when it's picking mats. So the up/down is what going nuts on me and can cycle over and over and over before it picks the mats and starts the craft (or it picks the mats and then cycles up and down over and over before starting the craft). Once I'm in the actual craft progress window it's 99% fine, just the odd hiccup where it asks me to take over and finish the craft and that's VERY rare). Or it sometimes tries to pick the wrong item. Right now as a type I have the bot making Steel Ingots and about every 3-4 ingots it's trying to make a Thunderstorm Axe (but it auto-corrects itself usually)

So you have the sounds folder? My guess it's crashing because it tries to play the sound file when it finishes and you don't have it, if you hit STOP does it crash as well?

I was just mentioning the skills hotkeys because it's something that will bug out eventually but rarely (losing items suck!), your recipemenu navigating hotkeys seem perfectly fine, so I'm a bit baffled how it's selecting wrong recipes so often, and yea there's a check I've added a couple months ago before it hits synthesize again that we have the right recipe, I have a hard time getting it to craft the wrong recipe when I'm actively trying to sabotage it(I keep manually changing the recipe and it keeps swapping back).

I believe I showed a video of similar behavior a few months ago where the bot will rapidly press down twice for example, when it's expecting to press it once, and then get confused and try to fix it itself. I don't know why it does this even at 30fps caps sometimes, but usually it's okay. Also I haven't watched for it in a long time so my problem might have been fixed.

If I had to make an absolutely wild guess, maybe bit 30 or 31 of the lParam for the

PostMessage is wrong, and it's taking the keyup press as a keydown?

No, I can stop without issue, it's only when it finishes and has nothing left in the queue.

How's the saying go, make something idiot proof and they build a better idiot? I'm actually new to the game and right now am largely using the bot to grind classes so losing the odd items means nothing (right now). The synthesize check isn't what's saving me it seems, it tries to craft the wrong item but because I don't have the mats it fails then selects the right item and crafts it. As mentioned, earlier I was making Yarn and it would sometimes craft the wrong item and would craft it successfully to HQ. I ended up with 96 Yarn and 3 Hats. My Steel Ingot is still chugging away here and it's regularly trying to start to craft the item below the Ingot, gets an error, then grabs the ingot but it's been doing that for an hour now and hasn't actually failed. Just keeps correcting itself after the initial "you don't have the mats" error.

So for the crashing bug what you said is consistent to not having the sounds folder with the sound there, because that's the only time it tries to play it. (So double check if you have it)

For the selecting bug, add optional hotkeys to navigate the recipemenu and use those (ALT + arrows for example...), see if that fixes it.

If you're leveling try to post your progress.csv/quality.csv under logs once you're done so I can make the sim better for low level players, the program under performs a bit at low lvl because it's playing against a much harder game than the game actually is.

I'll try the suggestions you mentioned and no I do not have a Sounds folder.

I can post them anytime, I have 5 or 6 crafting classes between 35 and 50 now.

I also took 2 short screencaps of what I'm seeing if it helps

This is the bot selecting the wrong item and then correcting itself. It was doing this every 2nd or 3rd Ingot.

This one is an example of where it seems to be confused when selecting mats and trying to start the craft.

Well one problem is fixed for sure, get the sounds folder.

Try the hotkeys I said, and swap either your Confirm hotkey or your CS2 hotkey if it doesn't fix. That might be whats causing problem 1, problem2 I got no clue since you actually have good FPS and I increased the delay between keypresses.

Silentprotaganist · 04/11/2016, 03:07

The Sounds folder was spot on. Don't why it was missing but it was, I tried remapping my hotkeys but the bot still goes a little crazy at times but perhaps it seems a little better. Hard to say.

Site wouldn't let me attach the CSV's. If there's another way to get them to you let me know.

SenselessEntropy · 04/12/2016, 00:17

DX11 Please. This is a major thing for me!

AcmeCrafting · 04/14/2016, 17:05

Small fix for NQ 3*, if you aren't crafting 3* and you're lazy, don't bother.

P3n1SD1cK · 04/16/2016, 06:49

as a GSM the bot will not use makers mark when beginning a 2 star craft.

edit: turns out i didnt have the keybound -.-

jelio · 04/16/2016, 12:27

The bot will sometimes get stuck on the (empty) Culinarian Housing recipe section. For example when trying to craft a bunch of Birch Syrup with ToggleCraft, it might accidentally select the housing section and then mash Confirm.

P3n1SD1cK · 04/16/2016, 19:11

A suggestion... not sure if its possible but are you able to make the bot send "/ac Great Strides" to the client instead of keybinds?
