Ignore KOS Eq2bot Discussion

[Ice]

Hi, I would have updated the script repository but I am not sure how to or access to it.

So I basically added the option to ignore kos mobs while auto hunting. I found that hunting in lavastorm I would run into the lava to attack mobs that were kos and I would also run into the water to attack kos mobs in other zones so I added another check box with the option to Ignore KOS mobs. If you get attacked by a kos mob it should still fight back.

I also made the bot when started change the everquest 2 window name to your characters name and class. This helps if your running multiple EQ2 windows and can't remember what one has what character. It reverts back to its original name when you exit EQ2 Bot.

I posted the changes below and the attached files are edited versions of the latest from the repository.

I'm confused, how does this differ from the Pull Non-Aggro option that already existed?

The Pull Non-Aggro option is only to select if you want to kill non-aggro mobs not ignore aggro mobs. If you have Pull Non-Aggro off you will attack only aggro mobs in range, by clicking it on you will attack both.

I like this personally :>

So Ice your saying that you turn off pulling and only attack what attacks you?

No all that pull non aggro seems todo is allow you to pull non aggro mobs. If it is turned off you will still auto hunt along your path but it will target only mobs that are KOS. For example if your auto hunting with a radius of 50 and a mob thats KOS is at the outer edge and normally wouldn't aggro you because your not in range will be targeted and attacked regardless of if its attacked you first or if pull non-aggro is turned on or off.

hmm, I guess I'm just dense and don't see the value to this.

I set paths and pull ranges to move and kill what and where I want. I want to pull anything thats in range in those paths unless I sometimes set up where friendly npc's roam. In which case I use the current option.

This option would seemingly make me run thru hostiles to get to non-agro mobs much further away, and I'm just not sure why I'd want to do that.

Your right its only useful for certant areas like in lavastorm where there tends to be KOS mobs in/above that lava that you will go into the lava after, or if you want to run a path and not attack anything but what attacks you.

Now I am thinking about an option to check if you want to kill things in the water or not. Also an ignore mobs list might be more usefull then both.

 

[Pygar]

Yeah, I follow you on the lava thing.

I'd think about approaching that by looking at changes in vertical distance. Currently I say anything >10 above or below is not a valid target.

It might be better to make that Y/Distance and some sort of threshold.

5 meters under at 20 distance is probably safe to pull. But a ratio higher might not be.

Does that make sense? Could even add a slider for what the user feels is safe deviation of verticla to pull.
