Current Version: v3.2 | 31-05-2014 (16:21)
[HR][/HR]

ANNOUNCEMENT:
This profile is an updated version to the old one which is now not working due to major updates of DB and Trinity. Older versions will not be repeated here.
Link to the old thread: http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...ain-set-soep-aughild-set-iwd-asheara-set.html

I hope you like this profile and hope this profile works for you as good as it is for me. I might not be able to answer your questions because I can't devote all my time to Demonbuddy; developing and testing this profile has cost me too much time. If you have any suggestions, post them here and I will use my spare time to check them.

1. What it does:

• It farms for Essence of the Twin Seas, Shard of Entsteig Plate and, sometimes, Iron Wolves Doctrine from a unique snake (maybe 20% spawn rate).
• It checks three bounty quests (Kill Tomekeeper, Kill Fecklar and Kill Hawthorne) for SoEP.
• It explores the Sewer of Caldeum, searches for Raziel event or Dreadshark's rubble or both. Once it founds one of them, it will stop there and kill the Unique monster, then loot and leave for the next run.
• With version 2.0 and up, the bot won't visit all the dead ends/corners; it will only go to where the event/boss may spawn. I've run this place no less than 30 times manually to check every corner of the sewer, mark all the possible event/boss spawn locations, record all scene ids etc.. I can assure you with my knowledge of this place, the bot won't miss any event/boss if it is there if no programming bug occurs xD
• It is intended that the bot leaves the game instantly rather than teleports back. Because before it teleports, the bot will waste time on killing trashes around, and teleport costs roughly 5 sec, plus the time on loading map...So I believe instant leave is faster in most cases; it just looks slower.

2. Set up:

1. Latest Trinity version (at least v1.9.8), latest DB beta version (at least 1.1.1915.415) and Quest Tool bundled with DB beta.
2. Download an "addon" to Quest tool, details are in the Download section.
3. The barriers in the Sewer is annoying. The bot will trying to attack them several times even if they have been destroyed. Therefore I would highly recommend you to ignore them. I have blacklisted them in the profile, but you will need a pair of Illusory Boots, or a skill which constantly casts AOE around you (to clear barriers), such as:
   • Ice Armor (Frozen Storm) for Wizard
   • Sprint (Gangway) for Barb
   • Chakram (Shuriken Cloud) for DH
   • Sweeping Wind for Monk
   Otherwise, you have to uncomment "TargetBlacklist" tag in the xml file.
4. To speed up your farming:
   • Set "Minimum Trash Mob Pack Size" to 6 or higher.
   • "Trash PACK Cluster Radius" to 15 or lower. - literally ignore all trashes.
   • Uncheck "Extend trash-kill range after combat.
   • Ignore chests or even shrines.
5. I would also recommend you to bring your rush gear and skills, such as Warzechian Armguards. Run it at a torment level you can rush is the best in my opinion. The event spawn rate is quite good. Fast kill, fast run, more games/hour, more chance to get the loot .
6. And, always choose your torment level wisely .

3. Download:
The package contains:

1. EoTS + SoEP: The bot will look for both event and boss triggers. As soon as the found one is done, the bot will leave the game. It is very unlikely that both event and boss will appear in one game.
2. [LegCraftFarm] Essence of Twin Seas: The bot kills Dune Thresher which drops EoTS and won't visit (ignore) the scene where the event trigger for SoEP apears.
3. [LegCraftFarm] Shard of Entsteig Plate: The bot checks bounty first. If there is any, kill the boss. Then it teleports to sewer and searches for SoEP event trigger only and ignores the dead end where Dune Thresher may spawn.
4. QuestTool Addon: Simply copy and paste the folder "QuestTools" to your "DB/Plugins/" folder, AND restart DB. They shouldn't overwrite anything

4. Change log:

Code:

[B]v3.2[/B]
[list][*]Changed game creation parameters. Thanks to Heffalompen.
[*]Added ghosts (Enraged Phantom) to blacklist. Thanks to simpleonin.
[*]Added some destructibles at City of Caldeum: jars, carriages and benches. Thanks to myrgy.
[*]Added offset movement after interacting with the chest in Raziel event (SoEP), preventing it from flying off the tunnel. Thanks to Explonoema.
[*]Added offset movement to trigger Dune Thresher (EoTS). Bot cannot miss the boss now (at least that is the case for me). Thanks to Rodr1k.
[*]Manipulated dungeon exploration settings, so the bot won't miss most of areas. However, I still noticed that from time to time, my bot missed some parts of the Sewer. I don't know what to do about that, but minimize the chance of happening and [s]I blame Trinity xD[/s][/list]
[B]v3.1[/B]
[list][*]Improved logic for searching for bounty bosses Fecklar and Hawthorne. Now the bot searches for markers instead of using ExploreDungeon tag.
[*]Updated profiles. They are now compatible with the latest DB and Trinity.[/list]
[B]v3.0[/B]
[list][*]Added bounty for SoEP farm.
[*]Updated profiles. They are now compatible with the latest DB and Trinity.[/list]

5. Planned work:

• Fix potential bugs and develop this profile further if necessary.

6. Trouble shooting:
For all people getting exceptions/compiler errors, please do a quick check:

1. Go to DB\Plugins\QuestTools\ProfileTags, make sure a file named "DungeonExpFoundObjOrFullyExped.cs" is in there.
2. Go to DB\Plugins\QuestTools\Helpers, make sure a file named "TmxkMiniMapMarker.cs" is in there. - Thanks to r4zzzor for correcting me the mistakes here.
3. Make sure you restarted DB after you copy the addon to DB folder.
4. Make sure you loaded profile version 3.0, not any old profiles.
5. Make sure you are using the correct version of DB and Trinity. Proved working versions:
   DB-beta 1.1.1915.415
   Trinity v1.9.8

 

Thanks tmxkn1!
I like this profile very much.

 

Good job once again!
I noticed for the SoEP Profile, that when he finished he doesn't use TP and leaves the game he just leaves the game which gives you the annoying 10 sec counter. I don't think thats meant to be that way or is it?

Also in your explanation under Troubleshooting you mention to check in the Folder "XmlTags" if a certain file is located. I thought there is no mire XmlTags folder.

Edit: Further (bugs) I noticed, when he finds a bounty for the SoEP he teleports there and starts exploring, in this case the Festering Woods. Even though there is a marker on the D3 Map that tells me that the boss is at a certain area the bot just keeps exploring the woods. It would save up a lot of time if he would react to the marker on the map. Also after killing the boss he keeps killing monsters to complete the bounty which is not necessary.

 

fixed, looks good so far

 

You fixed the bugs I posted?

 

the latest db build, which u mention i shoudl "at least" have keep crashing, and popping up with some weird error "sign" msgs. cant it Work with some older version?

 

Works for me! Thanks alot.

 

I don't see an XmlTags folder either. The installation instructions are a bit confusing.
For example: "4. QuestTool Addon: Simply copy and paste the folder "Plugins" to your DB root folder, AND restart DB. They shouldn't overwrite anything" - I don't see a "plugins" folder in your zip file. Do you mean this folder: "Plugins - for Trinity 1.9.8 and up"?

 

i agree that part was a Little vague. I think you should just copy the "Trinity" folder into plugins folder. It wont overwrite, just "mix in between"

btw, does essence of twins also drop in the sewers?

 

Its like my wiz is somehow not attacking raziel, it looks like the chest raziel spawns from is hindering her from shooting.
Is it intended teh bot leaves game from map, instad of going to town?

 

But there isn't a "Trinity" folder inside the "Plugins - for Trinity 1.9.8 and up" folder, only a "QuestTools" folder...

I am soooo confused!!!

 

Im sorry, thats what i meant. At least i paired it into my questtools folder inside the plugin folder.

 

btw, im still wondering if its finding any EoT. I saw a video in stinging Winds where he looked for 2 spawns.
Ive been running this profile purely for essences, but all it found was iron wolves, and thats after i switched to pure essence profile.
Sorry for the many posts^^

 

Since the two folders that are in the "Quest Tools" folder from the ZIP Archive are also in the actual DB Quest Tools folder I just took the two files from the ZIP and put them into the already existing folders. This way nothing got overwritten and the profile seems to run good.

Yes you can actually drop three different mats in the sewers. You can drop SoEP, EoTS and IWD.

Yeah I noticed that too. When he heads away from the chest he attacks him normally. And I have the same issue with the TP. I guess that'll be fixed soon.

I ran the profile earlier today for about 2,5 hours and I got 6 SoEPs, 4 IWDs and 2 EoTSs. You have to be more patient. The monster for the essence is pretty rare.

 

thanks you. but a ittle trouble...

This message output and no kill elite monster(SoEP)...... restart game

------We have found the boss for [Essence of Twin Seas]!------

 

What quest is this profile trying to run? Every time I try to run it I get an error when it tries to create a game.

 

Well the (error) message is saying that for EoTS a boss was found. That boss would be the shark. If he killed the shark, looted the essence and left the game it's all working fine.

He is not using any quest's anymore. He is doing everything in adventure mode. Is your character level 70? What is the error message saying?

 

Thanks for your report.

I thought instant leave is better because Tele back costs roughtly 5 sec? and if there are trashes around, the bot has to kill them before teleport, which won't be 5sec in many cases.

I will try make use of the marker. I don't see the bot finishes the bounty quest on my computer, I don't know why that is happening at your end. The bot, however, does do a bit of killing after the boss died; that is simply to make a safe surrounding for teleport.

 

That happens to me sometimes as well, it seems the bot can't "reach" the boss when the boss are above the chest...I don't know how I can fix it, but increasing the wait timer. Not a big problem though, the bot still kills the boss right?

It is intended

 

Thanks for your time sorting things out for me .
