An evolution is upon us...

It's some pretty slick stuff. It's still heavily under development, but it's making me smile with as much as I have done and working, and there's lots more to come! I think I'll make quite a few people very happy with what I'm working on :)

LOL... nah!

Even my private tester hasn't got to see it yet... Once he's done testing.. You'll all get to hear about it.. Until then.. lips are sealed! ... until I drop a few more hints.

The time is coming near!

I have doubled the amount of testers! (Admittly, that's from 1 to 2, but this is a marketing ploy, so lets ignore the little details).

As my testers continue to test, and make suggestions, it is starting to become quite feature rich even before beta! I think most of you will be very impressed.

Sorry! I'm just missing 1 small part and Amadeus is helping me with it. He's extremely busy at work, so it may be a week or so before I can get it released.
(Without this last part working, it's like 1/10000 of the usefulness).

I PROMISE you, this is worth the wait... :)

So, I heard something about Apple releasing some new 5th generation iPhone today and it's supposed to be kind of a big deal. There was also mention that you were going to release something about this new update sometime shortly after, but wanted to wait as to not steal Apple's thunder. :rofl:

Truth?

The only thing I could think of that would make ogre more amazing is being able to tie certain spells in with other spells cast by others (ie EB on time warp), or being able to point ogre at an epic training dummy and having it fire away all ur spells and figure out an optimal rotation for you (that'd be omg wow, too easy rofl)....that said it amazed me how awesome and easy to configure it was, so I can't wait to see what's next.

...ahh, i was hoping for the DPS configurer...takes input from ACT and tells you the best DPS cast order.

My guess...you are going to put in a way to chain cast the Monk's defensive temp buffs! Yep. That is it.

Unfortunately, the list of things you've asked for is so long, that's not even a hint! HAHA.. :)

was the chain tab the big update?
No sir!

Ran into an issue that Ama is helping me resolve, unfortunately he is extremely busy at work. So it may be a little while yet.

In the mean time, I'm working on a inventory manager that should help some people. As of the time of writing this, it only has the trading. I'll be adding more (like junk selling, and adding items to your broker) at a later date.

Again, neither of these are the big secret project!

Sorry, I can't share it yet.. Because once I do, I'm going to have to deal with 80000 people wanting to beta test it, when you simply can't until Ama has time to work on it.

Good guess! Now just 4 more weeks before any more hints.. :)
I think I just cried a little bit. I saw you were the most recent poster on the thread and about broke my finger trying to click the link button with sheer, brute suspense.

Way to let the little guy down Kannkor. Someone, somewhere just kicked another kitten.

How about this, I'll tell you all what it is in a few weeks regardless.

(And yes, a 'few' weeks is what I deem it to be :p).
 

Kannkor

Great news!

Amadeus was able to find and resolve the issue! I'll work on a write up and release it into beta here in the next few days, week at the most.

So here's my beta release date: By next friday!

I have a few bugs to work out yet, but you'll get to play with it on or before next Friday (and no, not tomorrow... unless, you're REALLY lucky).

Hit a huge bug late yesterday.. However, it's all resolved!

I'll be making the announcement what it is, before the end of THIS WEEKEND! Throughout the week, I'll work on documenting and providing screen shots. Then, by Friday, I'll have a beta release!

If you're wondering why I'm going to spend the time now to document, it's so I don't have to answer 2000000 questions, when I'll be adding feature requests/fixing bugs.. :)

It just means Kevinshp has to wait a few more days... :evil:

I think i figured it out.

He's created a mobile app which will allow for remote access to the uplink so we can play eq2 while sitting on the throne, while at work or....while sitting on the throne while at work.

Win.

I beleive there are some bi-laws that state any new development has to have a press release (with keys details) 7 days prior to the actual beta release....I.e. NOW. So that we can adiquetly prepare.....worth a shot:cool:

Sorry Bob... :(

The new evolution, is indeed OgreCraft.

First, this is completely unrelated to the original craft rewrite. Amadeus gave me permission (and access) to write OgreCraft to offer an alternative to the built in Craft.

http://www.isxgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5326 (Same information as below, plus a bit more).

Few things worth mentioning.
Writ limit is still in effect. It's still 10.
OgreCraft was written from scratch. It is not a rewrite of anything.
Limit for writs, is still 10.
OgreCraft was designed with functionality and speed as the primary goal.
* Functionality - 100% reactions. Yes, OgreCraft does NOT miss a single reaction, ever. I'm sure in extreme latency cases it's possible. The other possibility, is a typo. If a typo exists, OgreCraft puts debugging information into the console, AND takes a screen shot of the in-game window. With these 2 pieces of information, I can fix the typo.
* Speed - How about finishing a writ from start to finish in 4 minutes. Buying stacks of fuel every 1/2 second.
A lot of convincence options have been added also. I personally hated leveling from 1-9, and 10-19. It now assists with this process.
You can still only do 10 writs at a time.
While you are crafting a recipe queue, you can be preparing a second recipe queue! Lets take a look at an example. You start crafting 20 arrows. While you are in the middle of crafting them, you realize you need 20 stacks of shurikens for that OP brawler, you can add the shurikens to the "Setup queue" while your "Active queue" continues to craft.
Writs will continue to be capped at 10.
Like everything Ogre, I use IDs instead of names where possible. This goes for Recipes! Now, you are probably thinking how does this help you.. Remember when you were doing adorning, and you have 2 recipes with the same name? Guess what, they BOTH work!
Global settings. When you change any options in the UI, those same options will be there for all of your characters on that computer.
Did I mention, maximum writs is still 10?
In a bot-friendly guild hall (meaning, everything is in the same physical room, they don't have to be piled up, just in the same room), there is NO map required.
In a non-bot friendly guild hall (meaning in different rooms), a map is required, but you do NOT have to name anything. You simply have to run around. (More on this later).
I'll bet anyone 100plat, that I still get asked about the 10 writ limit. Any takers?
A search option that makes me giggle inside. I don't know why.. but it does.

I'm going to be making a new post with some more information about OgreCraft beta, and I'll be updating the wiki with OgreCraft information and screen shots within the week.

After reading what has been posted (including the Wiki), I can't tell if this will work for working on the special forge in Drunder (to break down items, or craft armor). Does the script only recognize the 6 main station types? Two additional future things I've always wanted include:

- Ability to do commission crafting (i.e., you can select a toon's name that you are grouped with, and the item you want crafted, and it will conduct the transaction ... using ogrebot to have the other toon provide special ingredients like shards). Or a simpler version where it would simply pause the transaction waiting for a manual placement of the the special ingredients, but otherwise would complete the transaction and craft the item.

- Ability to do "writs" in the special group instances. With 6 toons, it still takes me about 25 minutes to complete them and get a chest drop, and I hate all the coordination, keeping track of progress/cycles, movement, loading up on ingredients, etc. that I have to do. I usually just do them until one of my toons has the books, but that still can be a while to get the drops. The only saving grace was the occasional rare back when an expansion came out and you needed them for Adept 3s.

Drunder forge works.

Commission crafting is on my list of things to do.

I'll look into those special instances also, but make no promises on that one.

A better suggestion would be to include it inside of ogre craft instead of ogre bot. No need to get the adventure and crafting bots mixed up.

I'm planning on looking into commission crafting, however I'll have to see what information is available from the non-crafter. It may be comission and wait for the items to be placed, then continue.

OK I have held back. I do like having a reliable craft bot and happy about the fact that you did it. Now I can get my tailor and carpenter to 90 as I was too lazy to add the F'd up recipes to do lower level writs.

Now not what I was hoping for I was expecting some new great all powerful addition to ogre bot like healers anticipating aoes and casting wards before they go off or some crazy shit like that. Like first AOE goes off healer reads it remembers it so when the next one is about to go off they cast all group wards boom dizzle they know AOE is coming so as it hits they group cure as the icon appears boom dizzle. I was hoping for crazy shit instead I got Crafted.

Anyway I know it took alot of work and i can't wait to try it out. :):)

Thanks Kannkor.

P.S. If any of that crazy shit can been done that would be awesome :dazed:

OMG lol

Edit: BTW, my healers already anticipate AoE's and cast wards for them. Because my wards are in my priority tab as combat abilities and thus are always cast.

Craftbot Error Level 50 Provisioner

"There is an issue with your writ count file. Your entry for level ( 50 ) shows ( 2 ) different recipes. Yet the bot is reading LESS ( 0 )

Is this supported yet or is it yet to come?

BTW it sure is fast!
There's no issue with running it on multiple computers, however don't be grouped. The issue is you get updates on other peoples quest updates, which messes with the bot knowing that they aren't yours.
