So I've been coming into a few different bugs this patch/league, and one that makes mapping pretty difficult, I think keeping track of these issues in one place so that new users won't keep asking in the slack what their issue is.. it's AN issue. I have 3 bots running on VMware virtual machines with completely fresh(multiple times) installs of the bot, separate VPNs. One I have running a blackout tool and the others two are normal, all are getting the same issues. 1. Maps - Mod Avoidance is broken in maps.ipd, so is the logic, almost completely. - Temp workaround: change the range in maps.ipd to t1 to t16, instead of 1 to 10, and die 6 times per reflect map. Or just farm a zone instead of maps. - - note, avoid phys reflect appears to avoid ele reflect (comment what you find below and I can update, help me find phys reflect lol) 2. Running State Priority: 1 - Often the bot will stop and do nothing indefinitely and this is the error I find in the last run log every time. So far it appears to be when he's cycling through stash tabs most often this line will then come in and repeat along with "Idling...". I notice this much less often when I'm running BA vs maps, and it almost always seems to happen when I run out of maps, instead of falling back to running BA/zones. - I did not notice this error a single time while farming zones in acts 2-8, and almost never during zones in general, but almost always mapping. If I stop the bot and start it again the problem persisted once at least, so I restarted my client and bot and I believe it fixed it. Out of time for now, I'll try to keep updating.

I'm still having this issue, it just occurred when one of my bots ran out of maps. I tried restarting multiple times, nothing seemed to help, I just set him to run BA for awhile and find more. also I've uncommented the phys reflect modifiers in the maps.ipd but he still runs them, it's racking up my deaths/hour and slowing down the farming.. The log is the same, running state priority 1, idling.. WHY lol

I've done a complete reinstall of the bot from default with the new version 0.82b and I've also redone my maps.ipd file off the default by only changing tier to be 1-16 instead of 1-10, and un-commenting what i want to avoid.. and it seems to be working properly now. Will update if anything changes.

Turned off maps and it went all night, going to do some testing today, with another account as well hopefully, gotta bust out some quests.

I have maps in my configured maps tab, it will run a few usually, or even 30 last time before this run, only 2 this time.. they are all white maps, I've changed the maps.ipd to run tier 1 to 16 as it seemed to ignore some of the white maps otherwise. Last league when I'd run out of maps the bot would switch to my configured zone and keep farming.. which may even still work sometimes, I'm just getting started this league.

Anyone have any ideas? I've been having this happen what seems randomly.. 30 maps, 2 maps, I only had it happen once I started maps, which I had to change to 1->16 to get working. I'm changing some stuff to see if I can get it resolved, will report back. 2020-06-23 23:43:55 [info] -> Running state priority: 1 2020-06-23 23:43:55 [info] -> Idling... lastrun.log

@GreyMane You've spoken to or heard from the programmers that they're working on it? If that's the case why not a quick post saying "we're working on it"? I'm all for giving credit where it's due, in terms of functionality it's clearly appreciated when the bot is working and the programmer(s)/developer(s) (no idea if it's a team or one person) are awesome, but in terms of support and communication there's little to none and it's kind of frustrating to say the least, especially when you're trying to help make it better in your own time how you can. All said this thing has been awesome and has helped me enjoy the game even in the limited time I have to play, so I hope it continues to get updates and development as time goes on. I've tried to chip in for that effort via many lifetime license donations 😁

I used your instructions regarding unique items but it doesn't appear to work. I responded in the Pickit thread.

I believe this is incorrect, the bot cannot recognize premium tab names but it will use normal premium tabs and the currency tab from my experience, I have my primary tab for currency as a premium currency tab and it appears to be working fine.. I just got it set up today though so we'll see. You need to refer to stash tabs as 1,2,3,4 etc, not by the names on the tabs, it's just by the order.

I've been struggling all league to get uniques working myself, I've used the syntax support gave me as well, but after thousands of maps not a single unique.. check out the Pickit Thread, I just left likely my last version for this league.. unless someone gets uniques working lol. https://www.exiled-bot.net/community/topic/7679-the-pickit-thread/page/11

Did you try just calling them a golem? I'm curious if that would work, because adding zombies during leveling would probably help a lot.. I'll see if I can make it work next league.

I just realized there isn't a zombie option under minion type.. if that's not working have you tried choosing a golem or skitterbots? https://www.exiled-bot.net/community/topic/11439-minion-type-zombie-or-skeleton/?tab=comments#comment-53524 Actually from this post it doesn't sound like they're really supported, but you could make it work like a normal skill, add max distance and like a 5-10sec cooldown with a pri just lower than your main skill.

Don't download if you're helpless*

@Malphual There are many things that would be helpful.. but I think they're only shooting for a certain level of helpful, if the bot was too good everyone would use it right? You can almost make any skill work.. you just have to set it up right, the only setup is on the combat tab so you don't have too much configuration to mess with, honestly it's pretty straightforward. I have a summoner using both bars, total of 8 skills, so it's possible just takes trial and error @SupZerg You asked him why he thought it's outdated and then said it hasn't been changed in a few years, I think you answered your question but the only thing really needing attention I'd say is the maps file working properly, a better looting system for uniques/items, the config you gave me doesn't seem to work(zero uniques from 3 bots in a month..pickit thread for info) and the progression is broken. I personally don't NEED these things, but they would be nice and a welcomed update by everyone I'm sure.

@iffysam all you included was a pic of your left click config.. @jewish44 find/follow some instructions.. this is basic level stuff guys, you're gonna have a bad time if you can't get this.

@superbass667 if you do let me know what you find out I started to on previous versions of it but nothing was working, I successfully got it to at least pick up only the base unique types I wanted with the current config but I can't get it to keep them. I'm thinking a modifier tied to it should work, [Type] == "Occultist's Vestment" && [Rarity] == "Unique" # [itemlevel] > 70 && [StashItem] == "true" I don't know the item level syntax.. but I could figure it out, but idk if item level is a valid enough number to use, I think low ilvl uniques can drop that are really good, you'd have to go through them one by one to find something unique to the item you want, and then update it if there are any changes to the game or economy lol. If they can't hard bake in names then I figured I wasn't going to bother, the bot makes multiple exalts a day so I've been fine with that.

@superbass667 Yeah, I made that config lol, I don't think it works, but I don't think anything works honestly unless you keep the default and want to sell every single leather belt that isn't a headhunter..

That's what I've seen everywhere.. 0-9 to be precise? If my answer is incorrect, please correct me.

Your settings are wrong, priority can be 1-9, with 9 being the HIGHEST priority, aka it will always cast first.. Set up ED with pri 8(I save 9 for a curse or something later if I want it), set max distance to 40(I use 50-70), and then set Contagion to pri 7, max distance 39(just 1 less or so, this probably ins't even necessary), and match their cooldowns, that should work for you.

Yes I use a golemancer just fine, if you have it configured properly it should resummon them as they die.. and while I haven't used zombies it should work just the same. Post pictures of your combat config. I think I did run zombies awhile back while leveling and it was fine.. PS progression is a waste of your time, you can get the quests done yourself in minutes and then set the bot up to catch up on levels whenever you need, I found it just wasn't worth it to me but I'm somewhat of a speedrunner.

@superbass667 Unfortunately the bot's logic in the maps.ipd file is not fully functional, so if you try and change it to say [MapTier] >= "4" && [MapTier] <= "16" # [RunMap] == "true" it won't run many of the maps that meet that criteria, it hasn't been updated since the changes to the atlas allow maps to drop with varying difficulty, so it takes the name and ties that to a level.. theoretically if you had it sustain a map that was in that range it could be fine, but then the problem becomes you hit your max maps to keep limit even though none of them fit in the range/it doesn't recognize them properly so you'll have to clean out the ones it won't run every so often.. Hence I went back to [MapTier] >= "1" && [MapTier] <= "16" # [RunMap] == "true" and have figured if I maximize speed I can make up the difference. After writing this, I think potentially you could limit the pickit file to only pick "t10-16" and then the maps.ipd only run "t10-16".. which may align the tiers/maps it will run? Next thing I may try. I've also spent hours developing a pickit to grab valuable uniques.. but have yet to find a single unique in my stash, after hundreds of hours between multiple accounts I know that means it just isn't working properly and idk how to fix it. I think you'd have to call out the base type of the unique and then a modifier ONLY that unique would have... and I don't have the kind of patience to develop that list when it will change every league... and throughout the league.

@superbass667 Are you running and sustaining higher tier maps successfully? I'll trade my lit pickit(many hours spent) for some help understanding how to get a fresh account to sustain high tier maps lol.

What have you tried.. because the bot never stopped working for me rofl. PS turn your map explore and clear % down to like 95%, or lower your timeout.. otherwise your bot is probably wasting a lot of time running around the map. In regards to your issue I have no idea why it wouldn't select the right act.. you're sure you have the waypoint available?

Do we think running higher tier maps is even worth it? The bot doesn't recognize map levels properly I don't think, so I've just let it run low tier maps, honestly the currency doesn't seem all that much different, I think the items being lower ilvl means less things can drop though maybe? I have not ran many "high" tier maps to compare to be fair, I only ran T4-6 for a week or so. I've also been using ice shot and a golemancer.. but I've found the golemancer is a pain to gear up, and it's not cheap, and in that regard I like the ice shot more as he can suck for awhile but still get the job done and you build him up a bit for low tier maps

Appears to be working now.
