Hello AC Community,

I spent my Christmas vacation working on CraftBot. I disassembled the DLL with Reflector as Paraduck suggested in this thread (http://vnboards.ign.com/ac_utilities/b5432/115752532/p1/) and was able to rewrite it and fix the tinking of Salvage.

Because I disassembled the DLL, instead of using the original Source, I had to touch almost every line of code so there is a chance this new version has bugs introduced that the last version didn't have. I also added brand new code to make salvage work, and that may have introduced new errors...

This topmost post had links to download the program and directions on how to install it (I have not had time to make an installer for this yet, and won't take time to do that until the tink app is finished).

I am taking feedback in this forum post, please let me know of bugs and issues you run into. I do not know any of the old bugs, so please post those too. When I get some more work done with the Source Code, I will post it for anyone to get.

---Download/Install instructions---

(Note, you do not need to reinstall, if you already have this installed, skip the install step)

Download the original installer here:
http://www.firesickle.com/files/CraftBotInstaller.zip

Download the new DLL here:
http://www.firesickle.com/files/CraftBot.dll

Download the new Recipe's file here:
http://www.firesickle.com/files/recipes.xml

(if the recipes file just opens in your web browser, go to File -> SaveAs in your web browser to save it)

(Note, you do not need to reinstall, if you already have this installed, skip the install step)
1) Install CraftBot

2) Overwrite the CraftBot.dll file in your install directory
Default(C:\Program Files\Paraduck\CraftBot\)

3) Overwrite the Recipes.xml file in your mydocuments folder
Default(C:\Documents And Settings\Username\My Documents\Paraduck\CraftBpt)

4) Enjoy some good old tinking...

----

Your old settings should be saved if you already had this installed. I suggest backing everything up, because I am a stickler for that.

Hope to hear back from you guys,
Take care,
FireSickle

CURRENT VERSION
1.11.12.27
Last updated 2AM EST (12/27/2011)

Update Info:
1.11.12.27
Just uploaded the first version of the fix. Have several things I need to look through and test, should be uploading a new version tonight after work (around 11PM EST). I will be around on HG as FireSickle II or Makain most of the evening after 5:30PM EST if you want to get on and chat about anything.


------------------
---KNOWN ISSUES---

-Telling the bot T# will sometimes cause it to tink all the way and blow up your item
----This issue has not been reliably reproduced. Seems to occur most when 7 or more salvages were entered into the trade

-The Workmanship of Salvage is not being displayed properly
-As a result of the Workmanship, the Salvage may not be being organized properly, and will need tested
-The bot's message back about what Salvage it is using is now hardcoded, the message needs cleaned up and a way to identify exactly which bag is in the message should be discovered

you might want to consider keeping a record of your changes and putting the 'source' up somewhere public

I will be doing both of those. Right now, the source code is still not finished having all of the objects renamed and the XML data recreated. The disassembled version was obfuscated, and doesn't have comments on top of it, so it's been a pain to bring back from the dead. I just got the web requests working with my website so it will tell you if a new version is available and give you a message about it.

I have an SVN account, so once this is stabilized I will post a public SVN account for others to use. Until I create an actual website for the project, I will track changes and known issues here. I do web programming for a living, so getting a website up is a definite possibility in the near future.

Cheers :-),
FireSickle

EDIT:

Didn't know that I cannot edit my posts after a certain time.
New Version Up:
Version: 2.11.12.001 (changed versioning string so I can do multiple revisions a day if needed)

Added: Requests http://firesickle.com/craftbot/craftbot.php?mode=version&version=CURRENTVERSION to check if the version is up to date
Fixed: Tinking success calculation and Workmanship calculations of added salvage. The sorting of salvage is now fixed as a result

Known Issues:
1) Sometimes the program adds extra items and people to the mailto: list, duplicate records. I was told this is an old issue from the first version, will look into it shortly
2) If you initiate a trade with the bot while it is undressing, it will sometimes cause it to freeze and will not hand back items, even after resetting it with the reset command. ::I have an Idea what causes this, but will require testing:bserved it this morning
3) Sometimes the bot will do all tinks even if you tell it a T# to do. I believe this is a bug due to how that section of code is written (it uses JumpToLine code which isn't always reliable): I am going to rewrite the whole section this weekend and will see if the problem persists.

Looking for feedback and new feature suggestions. I am going to build a chance success calculator for when you are holding items, as well as a pack sorter in the next few weeks as I find time amongst the bug fixes and get more familiar with the last few sections of the code I have not yet commented out.

Happy Tinking

New Version Up: 2.12.01.001

Fixed Salvage Workmanship detection, now rounds to nearest 2 decimal places instead of to the nearest whole number.

Fixed the web requests so it no longer double posts the message.

Added Check Version Button

New version message exposes my email for feature suggestions and bug reporting - I have started working on CraftBot2 (a complete rewrite). I will post again when it goes into the Beta stage (unless there is a critical bug in the current version, I will not post another update until the Beta is ready).

Cheers and happy tinking,
Firesickle

ok next stupid question.

i put the buff spells in an order id like for the bot to buff but she isnt doing it in the order i specify. how does it determine the order to buff?

i have 4 level 7's to use as a prebuff so she doesnt fizzle on the 8's but she is going right to the 8's.
