[GatherUp] A mining/botany profile generator

GatherUp - An orderbot (min/btn) profile generator​

I got tiered of manually writing profiles for my gathering classes so i've made this tool to help me along. Haven't seen any others on the forum so I decided to give it
some extra polish and release it. Let me know if you find any or have trouble understanding the ui.

User Guide:

It should be fairly straight forward but a few clarifications might be in order:

• First entry entered for Item names and gathering skills get highest priority.
• To delete an entry in the lists (item names, gathering skills and hotspots) mark the entry and press delete
• Quantity counts items in your inventory. So if you have 10x of some item already and want to gather an additional 100: Enter 110
• list items (hotspot, items, gatherskills) can be rearranged by holding down left ctrl and using the up/down arrow keys.
• If you want to use the ExGather tag you will need ExBuddy. (25/3-2018: Entrax643 seem to have taken over support, you can find his fork of exbuddy here)

Example:


Installation
Extract the archive in your plugins directory (do not change the names of any files or directories ).

1.0.0 - Initial release

 

This looks awesome! Thank you for this tool! Should help speed up the profile writing practices greatly for those off the cuff gathers that just 'don't belong' in an all in one.

 

Ty Yea there are some great profile packs on the forums but sometimes what you're looking for isn't available. Ive been mainly using this for material gathering, gc dailes and leve quest assists (leves arent really supported but i do the pickups and hand ins manually).

There were some minor stuff i should have thought of adding like common gathering skills and an inventory lookup for item names. Im going away for about a week but ill add that in along with some other ui improvements in a week or so.

 

That sounds pretty sweet to me! I'll look forward to checking it out once you get back!

 

I prefer smaller profiles over the all in ones, so this is awesome =) Usually for a couple of items I tend to grab at the same time or just single item gathering..
I wouldn't mind having the map and aetheryte ids in a drop down, possibly also just combined unless there's a good reason they are not.

 

well they're kind of combined. Typing it in manually is more of a fallback option, the idea is that you go to the zone you want to teleport to, click the "get current zone" button and it should fill out the the aetheryte id and map/zone id automatically.

 

A heads up,im having problems with the current build (1.0.347) of the bot for 3.1. Among other things this plugin isn't working right with it, something changed or broke with the update.

 

Yeah I figured as much about the button, I guess you're in the zones anyways grabbing coords, so it's not the biggest deal, having a dropdown would save us the trouble of looking up aetheryte ids when several are available in one zone though, unless you handle that.. I should probably try it out when I can, instead of blabber =)

 

It is handled, albeit a bit roughly. It will be improved in the next version. Ill keep the dropdown idea in mind.

 

thanks man, will definitely give it a go when I have time.. first there's a world of new content to get through

 

new version is up.

 

1.1.2: Another minor bugfix. The aetheryte name for return teleportation was set to the one used on start. Old profiles will still teleport to the correct location but the logging and profile xml will be confusing and contradicting.

 

1.1.4 - Yet another bug fix, not sure how missed this one. Forgot to add a backslash to the filepath when selecting a folder, resulting in profiles being saved to the parent folder. Hopefully that was the last bug i need to hotfix.

 

Awesome profile maker, very easy to use, thanks for sharing! If your looking for opinions / features, a cool one might be adding a stealth toggle button, that would come in handy!

 

Hey, glad you liked it

Adding stealth support is something i am considering since it's needed for a lot of spots in heavensward zones. Adding it would however require relatively substantial modifications to the plugin and even if I do make those changes im not fully convinced that its the best solution considering how plugins like sneaky should give better results.

I wrote a test profile which applied stealth when arriving at exposed hotspots. While it worked it did bring up the problem where the character is quite often moving around stealthed for no reason which i guess could start looking suspicious to other players. Making profiles with carefully positioned small hotspots could perhaps fix that but then you would have the bot running to unactive nodes.

Still, I would like to add it and the same code modifications would allow me to force a dismount when arriving at a hotspot which should help plugins like sneaky. We'll see

 

But Sneaky force stealth before gather mode is not working with ExMatt ExGatherTag. or maybe I just too noob to fiddle with the xml code.
Also if your profile generator use ExGatherTag it'll be wonderful as Gathertag have delay before gathering node so it look more bottish.

Will surely use this awesome plugin a lot

 

I might consider adding support for some custom tags in the future, if they're easy to incorporate into my template.

 

New version is up: 1.1.5: Bug fix, wind crystals had the wrong id. This bug affected the quantity setting for wind crystals in profiles generated with earlier versions.

 

New version. If you find a profile which doesn't load correctly please attach it when reporting the problem.

Code:

1.2.0
* Can now import profiles created with this tool.
* Removed duplicates from the inventory listings.
* Some minor UI tweaks.
