OK, so after full reinstall and updates the bot works for a little while then logs ou

I have a feeling it may be caused by making a wandering mob a hotspot and it moving away from the bot making the shadow I am running not attack. but here are 2 logs from my grind script. Due to the 1 meg file size limit on the forums I just uploaded the begining and end part of the log.

The script worksperfectly and then just stops.

 

Hi, Deadlybot,

From your description, I surmise this is the scenario you're encountering:

• The bot hunts fine for a while
• After a while the bot just stops moving/attacking
• Due to the idleness, the SWtOR client logs out
• Buddywing shuts down as a result

If this is an incorrect description, please correct me, so I know for what to look.


Alas, the log fragments you've provided show the bot working just fine. We also see the 'start/stop button' pushed, and Buddywing shut down. Alas, the begning.txt and end.txt snippets didn't provide enough information for us to see any problems.

Please Zip the log file and attach the whole thing, and we'll give it another look. Logs are highly compressible and I've never encountered one that couldn't be zipped to meet the 1MB limit imposed by the forum.

cheers,
chinajade

 

i look forward to the next game patch so they can maybe fix the issues with the bot the next time they update it. because it runs like total crap to level new characters.

after level 10 it is fine, but before that it is endless trouble.

 

well first try, .rar file not allowed to upload to this forum.

 

hopefully this forum accepts .zip

 

these are from another machine.

 

This is what was happening before my full reinstallaion of buddywing. Watching my bot run after a full instalation for 3 hours everything seemed fine. I go and read a nice book on my lounge and come back to being logged out of swtor on both of my bots. One on my main machine and the other on a Virtual machine.

My computer specs Main machine: i7 2600 - 16 gig ddr3 ram - SSD - Windows 64 bit
My Virtual machine is given 4 gig of the ram and access to 2 proccessors and 2 cores - window 32 bit

Both bots run flawlessly, as in not even a stutter while watching them.


If you can tell me how to compress 500 meg to 1gig log files down to 1 meg that would be great.

 

here is a link to download a log file that was too large to upload to the forums. 35meg.

Also, I will give you logs of todays efforts from my two machines.

 

here is a new one. Just started the bot on my main machine and it just crashed the swtor client and turned itself off.

 

As of now both bots seem to be running fine. I have cleared both log file folders and if/when they bug out I will supply new logs for you to look at.

Thanks for your time, hopefully this problem can be sorted out. restarting my bots over and over all day really sux balls.

 

Hi, Deadlybot, and thanks for the logs!

From the 2012-11-10 16.05.zip log:

[18:25:39.443 D] Exception while pulsing plugin Use Lockboxes: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Buddywing.Plugins.OpenLockboxesPlugin.OnPulse() in c:\Users\Paul\Desktop\BuddyWing\BuddyWing 1.0.946.339\Plugins\OpenLockboxes\OpenLockboxesPlugin.cs:line 45​

It appears as if the "Use Lockboxes" is being called when BuddyTor.Me is null--this should never happen (i.e., the plugin's entry criteria have been violated). This is most likely a bug in Buddywing, or its interaction with the SWtOR client. It could also be a side-effect of running Buddywing/SWtOR in a virtual machine, if your environment is such (this is just speculation, as I know that many others successfully use BW/SWtOR in VMs). It appears that the plugin is able to recover from the bug most of the time. However, when it is unable to recover, serious heartburn ensues in the crash/logout.

Your choices are:

• Turn off the "Use Lockboxes" plugin, or
  
  
• Attempt to working-around the problem yourself.
  To work-around the problem, you would need to change line 45 of the .../Plugins/OpenLockboxes/OpenLockboxesPlugin.cs from:
  
  if (BuddyTor.Me.InCombat)​
  
  To:
  
  if ((BuddyTor.Me == null) || (BuddyTor.Me.InCombat))​
  Please note that the plugin isn't the cause of the bug--we are merely trying to work around the problem.

Each of the other logs you provide--including the 36MB one--point to the same problem in all cases--a Buddywing/SWtOR problem aggravated by the "Use Lockbox" plugin.

I can't guarantee that the work-around will work, as there's no way to replicate your problem. If the work-around fails, please turn of the "Use Lockbox" plugin, try again, and let us know how it goes. Save any logs of the failures so we can have another look. If we can confirm this as a bug, we'll have to get someone on the BWcore team to include the work-around as part of the release for the "Use Lockbox" plugin.

cheers,
chinajade

 

For now I will turn off the lockbox plugin and report back as I believe where I am grinding there is only 1 of these anyways. Thanks and I hope this fixes my problem and I hope the person who made the plugin sees this

 

oh 1 last question, is the open lockbox plugin used to interact with objects while using any leveling profiles ?

 

"Use Lockboxes" merely opens unopened containers in your backpack.

I cannot speak as to whether or not one or more quest profiles depend on this behavior. You'd have to ask their authors, or eyeball the profile yourself.

cheers,
chinajade

 

Oh boy, that sux being a slicer like me then doesnt it. After running the bot with the lockbox turned off for the day and if I have no problems I will definitely try your work around. And let you know how it goes if you like, but my main concern right now is uninterupted botting.

 

OK, the bot ran for quite some time with no problems, My character died and returned to its bind point and just stood there doing nothing. I am not sure if the bot stopped causing it to die or if respawning made the bot stop working. The file is 137 meg so I made it into a 7 meg .rar and uploaded to this site.

Can you have a look and see what happened here please as it seemed like turning off the lockbox plugin had fully solved my problem.

Thanks Jade.


I hope I am helping getting this thing stable and not being a pain in the ass.

 

I just found that Use Lockbox plugin is used as default and has to be turned off everytime I login to buddiy. So check the above log file for the lockbox bug first. It may have just been turned on again.

Thanks again Jade.

 

After 3 hours a 3 meg log file and my bot trying to guard itself over and over and over and over.

 

I am starting to feel like I have paid to beta test a bot.
