FFXIVMinion Bot - Grinding, Questing, Crafting, Fishing, PVP, Assist and more!

Ok I got the bot to run finally, not even sure how to be honest, but now a new problem arises..how to effectively use it? It runs to the fates and random mobs fine, but it hits walls, tries to run up cliffs and just randomly stops sometimes. I tried leveling my pugilist (8) Some fates work well, like killing basic mobs and all, but boss fates are a disaster. It'll run there and aggro the boss and proceed to be killed in 3 hits sitting in the red circle.

I'm going to make my own meshes and markers now since the default seems to like getting me killed haha. So my question is..how do I do that? I checked the tutorial and there isn't one on making meshes. Just placing markers, grinding, fishing etc.

Oh and also I get an ERROR: The gathering manager is enabled but no markers have been detected on the mesh. It SPAMS me nonstop with these errors, never allowing the console to be closed. The thing is..I have the gathering manager deactivated and I still get these. I also tried adding marks..but it still says none detected.

I also made some meshes myself since not all the zones had.
It's very simple though, awesome bot.
Just go into MeshManager -> Editor and check "Show Triangles" and "Record Mesh". Now when you go somewhere it should turn blue around you. When you've meshed out enough to satisfy you, just type in the name you want to use for your new mesh in "New Meshfile Name" and click Save NavMesh.

Now turn off show triangles and record mesh and instead turn on "Show NavMesh" in the general settings of MeshManager and select your newly created NavMesh from the dropdown below.
You should see that the previously blue triangle area is now a yellow tinted NavMesh that you can add Markers on.

Hope it works for you as good as it does for me!

Ah I got it, thanks! I tried that, but it didn't work. But it seems it was because I had an existing mesh selected and the triangles wouldn't show up. As soon as I switched the mesh to none, it worked. I feel dumb now haha. Thanks for the help!

Another question though, can you add potions into the skill set? I don't see them.

Sure, items need to be just added to the lua script, this is quickly done.
The guys made quite some changes n fixes already thanks to the good feedback so far.

Any hint what was causing your crash EclypticAnglex ? I know people mostly only reply when there is something not working, but the experience in our past with gw2minion clearly showed that is was something obvious like AV or overlay tools. I cant make it crash at all on my computer, neither can any of our 5 other devs and a lot of friends, therefore we are more than happy to get some hints where we may still have some bug :)
I have crafting working now also, the remaining stuff will quickly go into the bot over the next days, party, pet, mounts etc :)

The bot would crash me within a few minutes or running it. I was just using grind bot in South Shroud.
These are the crashes:

I'm not completely sure, I was messing with ingame options when it worked. Maybe it was my resolution? I can't be certain. I had all of my Av uninstalled and it still didn't work, so I don't think it was that. Either way, it works excellently. I've gained a few levels in different classes and haven't had any issues yet. Excellent work I would say!

The only thing I really noticed so far that is a problem is the bot's targeting. It constantly runs past mobs, aggroing them, to get to another mob a bit away. Also it doesn't continue combat while resting. If you kill a mob and have less than your rest threshold, if another is attacking you, you just stand there until it kills you. The bot will not start fighting, only staying in rest mode not knowing what to do. The same thing happens if your fighting a mob and another attacks you, once finished killing the original, it will find another non hostile target to fight, while the new one is still attacking you. The target priorities just seem off. It ignores enemies attacking you to find other ones of the same exact level and type 2 feet away.

Auch wenn es eine open BETA ist finde ich ihn echt klasse weider so, vor allem finde ich die Navigation viel besser als bei dem mmoviper bot.

I can see where you're going with the bot, its incredibly unstable and if you are ever engaged by an aggressive mob while already in a fight, you just stand there before the onlookers and die while they all file cheat reports on you, but I can see it having potential.

Additionally, the mesh editor only works about half the time when trying to record a new mesh, reloading the game works usually, but many times the record button does nothing.

I see you use a monthly fee for other bots, I'm sure that works out fine for you, but I'll just say as far as payment goes, its 1 time payment or bust for me.

Thanks for hte feedback, a "search for better target" is already in our next update, same as the resting bug you are mentioning and flee also had a tiny but if no escape marker was set. Beta :) everything will be good in 2-4 days :)

bin selbst nur crafter aber soweit ich weiß musst du bei den "markern" jetzt die itemnamen die du abfarmen möchtest eintragen.

Danke :) Wir haben noch nen großes update in der hinterhand was die navigation angeht, um sämtliche "behavior detection" (= aka das, was die anderen bots sicherlich bald hämmern wird da diese alle immer den selben pfad laufen.. ) zu umgehen wird bald noch was schickes kommen was in der form noch nie da war ;)

This is a great program and I'll be a definite supporter upon release. I'll leave as much feedback as I can. I'm happy to help in any small way possible. My only other issue now is random CTD. No errors, just closing. It sounds like the authentication server thing mentioned earlier, but I change my username and password every time. It seems to randomly happen here and there. Sometimes it will run for an hour, other times it will crash every 2 minutes for an hour straight.

ich weiss nicht was los ist aber seit heute stürzt das Spiel immer ab wenn ich den Bot starte mal nach 5 min oder gleich wenn er in den Kampf geht.

Funktioniert er mit dem deutschen Client auch?
