Diplomacy Bot Revisted Discussion
- Thread starter Eris
- Start date
Doesn't work right. Looks really cool though 
When adding npc's, they never show up on the list. I click start, and it targeted the first npc I added, opened the window as if I hailed him, but then closed it and vgtext box said "The parley is already over" twice.
I then right clicked the npc and the bot took over and started doing parlays.

I will be adding some debugging logs to it this afternoon when I wake up. After these are added, if it for any reason freaks out or does something that it should not, get the log to me so I can look at it and track down this issue. It is intermittent enough that I can't figure out what is causing it yet, so these logs will be a great help.
New version released. This contains the debugging setup which will output quite a bit of information to ${Script.CurrentDirectory}/dip/Dip-debug.txt
It also adds a button to the options tab, if debugging is enabled. "Dump Variables"
If you run into an issue of the script hanging, and not doing anything, please press that button, then immediately copy out the log file. It is deleted each time you start the script. Send it to me in either PM, AIM, IRC, email, carrier pigeon, whatever.
If for some reason you do not wish to help in the debugging, and create this horrible file....
On line 135
Change that to FALSE
Thank you very much.

open door
Possible for anyone to add "Open Door" option for when "map pathing". Would be a great addition!

OK, I believe that you should check off the color that the NPC is likely to use based on their race/class and the ratecard function will be less likely to give that color to the NPC. If this is wrong, please let me know.
I made some small changes to movement because the lavishnav pathfinding is spiking my processor use for a second and it's long enough to make me run off the mapped area, so I put in a pause and disabled the code that rechecks the path when you get near your destination. If anyone is having similar problem I will post it.

red=demand majorilly played by soldiers(guard npcs)
green=reason, depending on the race u face some prefer this but majorilly it is the 2nd card choice if npc e.g. can not play flattery(yellow) cards.
reason and flattery are linked together as are demand and inspire.
You can all read about this going thru the diplo tutorial or have a look at www.vgtact.com
blue=inspire majorilly played by clergy npcs(not guards and non outsider so i call these guys the monk/disci/cleric/pala npcs)
yellow=flattery majorilly played by rakis but also note that a raki soldier will aways prefer to play demand cards usually before flattery.
and as already said have a look at www.vgtact.com really helps to get the basics of diplo
now happy presence and information grinding

Is this the best program to use? I've been combing the forums, and have seen several threads about Diplo-bots, and being new (and having had a GREAT experience with vgcraftbot), I figure I'd just cut right to the chase and ask here.
I've heard that it is a bear to set up (as compared to vgcraftbot) and get running. Is this true? Any recommendations as to where to set up this program for say a level 8+ for best effect?

In my version of dip, I have corrected the following:
Facing Movements
Getting back on the map correctly
corrected one of the stats
I am still working out the kinks on the movement routines. Once in a while it will ziz-zag in the same spot because total mapped points will report 2 instead of the correct total.
Setting up is very easy. Follow these steps:
1 - Start fresh by deleting the path file
2 - Stand near the 1st guy and turn on mapping
3 - Add the Targeted NPC to your list
4 - Move to the next NPC and repeat #3
5 - Move back to the 1st NPC and turn off mapping
To test your path.. simply uncheck the parlay options and run it.
Hope this helps.
as i am a newb to the scripting, i want to ask: is there an option to let the bot take the last parley-option, not the first or a parley-level-restriction?
i mean: if i have a NPC who offers about 10 Parleys of different levels, i want to take only the levels of 40 to 50, but not the 5, 7, 10...
it would help alot if it starts at the lower end, where the higher ones are.

Well, I finally tried this one, and it works great.
Only two problems I see with it (actually, it would fall under "would like to see features"):
1) It doesn't have a separate configuration file for each character and zone you start in (like vgCraftBot).
2) It doesn't have a /tell "Gong" (like vgCraftBot).
Other than that, I was surprised how fast I went from level 10 to 14 on 2 characters tonight, with little more than checking a few boxes and setting up my cards in the tray.

I like this suggestion. I will work on implementing this as time allows.
Unfortunately I feel this leads down the path of AFK botting, and will not implement it into the script.
Great, Other then that this is a freaking awesome script.

Kewl. I'm sure it will be more than "easy", but I think it will be a good feature to add. I look forward to it.
Quite true, and also very simple to just write a small script to handle tells anyways. Hence why that will never be added.
Doors? Different story, and worth doing.
