Can YOU help our allegiance buffbots....
|
We have a unique situation... we have to many donations and they are mainly in the form of tapers. As of right now both bots are stuck with over 5500 tapers. So here is my plea---can any of you decal wizards whip up a small macro program of some sort that allows us to set a number of tapers and drop anything past that on the ground? (If you need to preset it 3500 is a great number) We have tried asking folks to check comps beforehand but the helpful souls forget and then dump tapers on the bots and they are so heavy they can't move. Which means they are spending more time casting regens during buffs and wasting even more plats etc etc.
Thanks

Caly, the bots don't use extra stam if they're not moving, but thanks for being mindful of that. Too many tapers does nothing bad.

In Castaway you would have to edit the BotGifts.xml file: http://www.buwahaha.com/Castaway/manual/Editing_BotGifts.xml.htm

But when they're in combat mode (to cast spells), they do use extra mana, I think?

Combat or magic mode has nothing to do with mana regeneration or mana consumption. Obviously you have to be in magic mode to cast spells.

When incombat mode and over burdened your stam regen isn;'t as effective. You can actually loose stam if your heavily over burdened and in combat mode.
Thats what costs the extra spells and plats.

I haven't noticed any difference in my bot whether he's at 86% burden or 200% burden as far as revitalizing. shrug. If there is any difference it's miniscule.

When we ran our bots we noticed that if they got extremely burdened (I think it's just when it shows them in red), that even if they were standing still, their stamina would go down. The only way for it to go up at that point is to lay down, which some of the buffbot plugins used to do. I used to use CastAway and if the xml config files are similar to what they used to be, you should be able to set a max number of tapers to accept fairly easily.

Yup. My bot used to be at 100% stamina all the time, even with 4000+ tapers. As long as you don't run or walk, standing there casting spells doesn't effect it.

Sorry, but wrong.
Goto the shop and purchase bags of flour (cooking items) in stacks of 100.
Once your burden goes over 200 (red), enter combat mode and just stand there.
Your stamina will start to drain away without you doing anything.
Stamina most definately IS affected by burden. It's not a great deal, but when you factor in your normal regen rate it does become quite a lot over time.

Well, all I know is that my bot, standing in the NW room of the Marketplace is always over 200% burden with tapers, and when he is standing there doing nothing, he is at 100% stamina. When he is buffing someone, it seems to only vary when the stamina to mana spell is cast. Maybe it is so small a drain that it isn't noticable, but when the buffs are done, the bot is back at 100% stamina.

Certainly not enough to be a concern for a buff bot. More hassle trying to prevent people from overloading you than it's worth. The little bit of stam you may lose while buffing someone is a very very small percentage and not worth the all the concern.

I've got plenty of characters that are at very high burden levels. I never notice any stamina problems unless they try to move or heal in either peace or magic mode. HMM Something to check on the low level mules with low endurance. It is possible that the characters I normally have a high enough endurance bonus to overcome any burden related effects.

You most definitely lose stamina over time in combat mode though natural regen bonus and buffs might overcome the loss.
I just did a test with a level 51 mule with a "mediocre" Natural Regen rate and no buffs outside of Strength.
Every 4-6 seconds I lost 2 to 4 stamina points. 6 minutes and 7 seconds to lose 200 stamina
13:51:15 You say, "200 stamina - 249% burden no regen buffs"
13:57:22 You say, "empty"

A bot owuld tend to have a regen buff on, so that may be enough to counter it.

More than enough. In my 4+ years of running buff bots, I have never had a problem. Simply add Stamina and Mana regen and you will never see it happen. I'm sure that it may happen like others have said ... every 4-6 seconds, loose 2-4 points ... but with Stamina regen, you will regain more than that.
But then again, I don't bother trying to set up a buff bot who doesn't have at least 320 base in magic and usually has a 100 base Endurance.
