[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	If you use Craftbot, do you have problems with it? I have not been running my bot for a few months because of so many problems and I got tired of people yelling at me :-) Things people seem to have problems with... Bot won't tink newer items in game Bot won't return items sometimes Bot won't use several types of salvage Bot sometimes won't stop when users use the # of tinks to do and blows up items It could just be my bot doing this? Don't know. I would like to find out if others are still using it and if you have any problems as well. Thanks Any help would be appreciated -----signature----- (none)

Thanks Any help would be appreciated #1, not seen, but haven't run mine since they went in as the computer it ran on went POOFIES #2 happened more is high lag situations or people started trying to rush the bot along , ie sending new commands before the last was finished. One reason while mine was an open bot, it ran at the mansion. #3 it does NOT like foolproof or pathfinder salvages last I remember. #4 seen that, reported that, never got an answer back, I'd often be around when folks were trying tinks and I'd tell them to cancel out and only put the item and salvage for the tinks that would have a good %. IE to make it so only the item and salvage to be applied were in the trade window, with no 'extra' present. I may have modded the bot says to include that as well, I changed a lot of the standard text for the tink functions to either adjust for my specific situation or to clarify what it said. I also condensed the replies as much as I could, I found that standard replies and rare usage could wind up wasting rare time after the bot go chat gagged, had item loss to boomage as the bot never was able to reply with the say 20% chance last tink line so user said 'Go', not so happy. I infact shut off the bot a time or 2 in later occurances while I was monitoring it. -----signature----- Edits are for spelling :^) Trophy Compendium http://vnboards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=90389010 /a Devil's Saint says, "what we teach our Children we become" June 3, 2008

	"I found that standard replies and rare usage could wind up wasting rare time after the bot go chat gagged," I have a version with modifications to prevent the bot from getting chat gagged. Its in the hands on at least one tester. It also allows manual offsets for skill calculation, for each skill, to allow you to account for jewelry/unknown item boosts/whatever, and corrects a couple issues with the way things are calculated now. I'm not sure why foolproof salvage is an issue(it shouldnt be) but I will look at it after I am done dealing with flood damage and can set up my office again. I know I'm going to have to deal with the 10th anniversary issues, so I have a release planned within 30-60 days. -----signature----- Current developer of Mob Tracker (mobtracker.yewsplugins.com) Current developer of Rare Tracker(raretracker.yewsplugins.com) Current developer of Craft Bot(craftbot.yewsplugins.com) Email:yew@yewsplugins.com

Fabulous, I haven't tried it recently with foolproof salvage but last time it was tried on my bot it didn't recognize it as salvage. The new changes all sound like forward progress so I'm happy to hear you have been working on it and it's not a stagnate plugin :^) The rare useage text thing is tweakable to some extend by the end users(tho anything that makes the bot better is welcome), the bigger show stopping bug is the hard to reproduce and seldom occuring issue of the bot ignoring a t6 (or whichever number it was) command and going thru tinks for every bag of add-on salvage bug. Just had a thought of something that should be easy to check, does it accept both upper and lower case for the Tink number input? I look forward to seeing the next release once you have it ready :^) -----signature----- Edits are for spelling :^) Trophy Compendium http://vnboards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=90389010 /a Devil's Saint says, "what we teach our Children we become" June 3, 2008
