Ouroboros - Extended OldRoutine

About

Ouroboros is a modified version of Bossland GmbH's OldRoutine. Eventually I may expand it into an all-in-one routine, but currently it just has a few modifications that I've found useful for my characters. I decided to post it now in case it's useful for anyone else, and to get feedback. Feel free to suggest things you'd like me to add.


New Features

• AOE radius settings for melee, ranged and curses.
• Use AOE on different pack sizes depending on your target's rarity.
• No more fatal pause in the combat routine while using abilities such as Vaal skills, curses and Blood Rage.
• Use Vaal skills based on target rarity.
• Pathing exception that made the bot attempt to take Skeletal Shrines even when they were surrounded by mobs was removed, as it could cause deaths.
• Uses Flesh Offering and Bone Offering when they are on your skill bar but inactive, you have at least one living minion and enemies are nearby.
• Uses Frenzy to maintain frenzy charges at maximum, or above 0 when using flicker strike.
• While using Caustic Arrow, prioritises targets not already affected by a caustic cloud.
• Support for Curse on Hit - just put it on your skill bar.
• Can use ranged attacks against mobs that are offscreen - if a monster is over 50 distance away but still within your ranged attack range, the bot will fire in their direction instead of attempting to click directly on them.

Changelog

1.9 to 1.10:

• Vaal Discipline casts at 30% ES and Vaal Grace and Immortal Call at 30% life. I'll add settings to control this later.
• Essence Drain is cast similarly to curses, thanks to Fujiyama. I don't have a character to test with so if this needs changing let me know.
• Offscreening exception added for Caustic Arrow. It can also be disabled by setting MaxRangedRange to 50 or less (should cover the whole screen anyway).
• Curse On Hit + Heralds fixed.

1.8 to 1.9:

• Offscreening support added.
• Fixed runtime error in 1.8.

1.7 to 1.8:

• Curse on Hit support added.

1.6 to 1.7:

• Caustic arrow prefers targets that aren't already in a caustic cloud.

1.5 to 1.6:

• Frenzy charges will now be maintained above 0 rather than at full while using Flicker Strike.

1.4 to 1.5:

• Added use of Frenzy to maintain Frenzy charges.

1.3 to 1.4:

• Added Flesh Offering and Bone Offering compatibility.

1.2 to 1.3:

• Removed pauses from various other skills in the same way as Vaal skills - they don't seem to serve any purpose but getting the player killed by pausing for a second or two after casting a skill.

1.1 to 1.2:

• Removed pathing exception for Skeletal Shrines. The exception prevented the normal check to see whether a shrine is blocked by mobs before attempting to take it, which could lead to getting stuck and dying.

1.0 to 1.1:

• Removed seemingly unnecessary pause while using Vaal skills.
• Separated the 'Autocast Vaal Skills' checkbox into four, one for each target rarity.

Planned Features

• Better target selection for flicker strike/frenzy (hit nearest mob with frenzy, best target already in range with flicker rather than running towards the overall best target).
• Cyclone support.
• Defensive Vaal skill settings.
• Pierce support for Caustic Arrow.
• Prevent Contagion from being cast more than once on the same target before ED is used.

Thanks

Fujiyama - Essence Drain support

 

so by using this can i setup lightning arrow for trash mobs and blast rain for uniques?

 

Yep, that's exactly what I'm using it for. Just set LA to AOE ranged and BR to single target ranged, then set up the AOE ranges and pack sizes. I'm using 70 combat range, 50 ranged attack range and 40 AOE radius (double the default 20, which results in LA being used a lot more against packs). I have Normal/Magic/Rare/Unique pack sizes set to 1/2/5/-1, so if my main target's a white mob I always use LA, if it's blue LA is used when 1 other enemy's around, if it's rare then 4 other mobs have to be around, and blast rain is always used against uniques.

 

Thanks! Works wonderful
Also i found small typo:

 

That's actually from OldRoutine, but I'll change it to 'Max Ranged Range' for the next release

 

I've been using this bot for awhile but I've never made an account because the community here is pretty terrible. But I had to so I could thank you for making this routine. This drastically improves clear times and QoL for several of my builds. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!

 

That's encouraging to hear, thanks, I'm glad it helps. If you have any feature requests (or anyone else does, for that matter) let me know. No guarantees though.

 

I'm also running a voltaxic LA / BR build while also using vaal hast / vaal clarity. This also happens on the default routine so I'd like to know if there is anything you can do about this. The bot before casting a Vaal skill he stops for a bit even if he's in combat, leading to a couple of easily avoidable deaths. Is there any way to workaround this?
Also using the settings you mentioned above and they're working great.
Thanks for the awesome work you've done!

 

Thanks, you're pretty terrible too.

 

There was a pause intentionally added to OldRoutine while using Vaal skills. I tried removing it and it seemed to fix the problem without breaking anything, but there must be some reason the pause was added in the first place. If it causes any problems, let me know. I also separated the Vaal skill checkbox into four by rarity, so you can for example only use Vaal skills against Rares and Uniques.

 

shhh dbf, keep calm dear looowd. or we gonna bring Chinajade over to clean shit up ;D

 

Oh yea forgot about that.

 

This pretty much made everything so godlike ahah.
Thanks alot man!

 

This is actually pretty hilarious. When I wrote that, you are who I was thinking of. Honestly, you are without a doubt the worst person on this board. You drag the entire community down with your immaturity and trolling and make it a pretty terrible place in general.

Infinite, the only other real QoL problem I see with the bot right now is the stutter stepping. The bot often takes these short steps instead of long fluid strides and it slows down clear times a bit. If this is something you know how to fix I would love you forever.

 

I'll take a look, not sure if it'll be a simple fix though. There's no need to be hostile, it's just going to start an argument.
e: Think it might be an issue with the player mover rather than the combat routine. I'm using Alcor75PlayerMover and haven't really noticed that issue, are you using that or not?

 

Don't judge him, he's a good guy he's just making fun of you <3

 

I do for some of my builds and you're right no problems there. For my rangers though I prefer to stack move seed through the roof to just fly around the map and it tends to stutter.

 

Have you tried using it with all of the skills turned off? I'm playing a high move speed ranger with a quicksilver, and it seems to work fine.

e: I just died because the bot kept trying to run to a Skeletal Shrine surrounded by about 20 enemies without attacking them, and couldn't reach it. Turns out the code that prevents the bot from trying to activate a shrine that's surrounded by mobs had an exception specifically for Skeletal Shrines. This seems like a terrible idea since they're more likely than any other shrine to be surrounded by enemies, so I removed this exception entirely - Skeletal Shrines will now be taken when they are reachable, like other shrines.

e2: There were pauses like the one Vaal skills had for other skills too - casting Blood Rage right next to a pack just got me killed. I went through and removed all of the ones that looked unnecessary. Seems to work fine, but I haven't tested every skill that was affected so let me know if anything breaks.

 

Hello Infinite Monkeys,

Thank you for this CR
Could you add Abyssal Cry and Rallying Cry to it, please? I guess you could use the same code from Enduring Cry that's already there, just need some little tweaks like an option to chose how many mobs are around before cast them to get better value.
Thanks in advance, friend. Have a nice week

 

Just a question, is it possible to add sth like avoid detonated deaths after monsters are killed?
