BearCan's Introductory Discussion

Hi Faithful,

I thought a little something of myself should be posted since I plan to be
a rather aggressive future complainer ;-

you seem to have a strong idea of what Rail should be, can do and the
coding skill set to back it up. alas I have 2.5 of the 3.  lol, I'm an old
school programmer. Lua is not part of my set. I'm not exactly enthused with
having to learn yet another language. However I will dabble some. At the
very least I have strong testing and debugging skills that can be useful.

I've been playing Ragnarok on and off for about 3 years on various servers.
Currently I use RampageAI. I have it tuned very well with a few of my
personal code snips included. I started to create a list of feature changes
when I discovered Rail. Until I figure out your vision I'll just hold back
and watch Rail develop.

Currently I find Rail very wanting. I mean from what is already coded not
from what is missing. for example homoculus following needs much work
compared to Rampage. 
1)It gets stuck and targets monsters behind walls way more then it should. 
2) Homoculus runs out of SP while Rampage never runs out  I suspect the
spell delay is way to short. It's sending spells that never hit but cost sp
???? 
3)There is something wrong with how it prioritizes what to hit first in a
mob. I'm still trying to finger just what.

It seems Rampage has two spell delays ( I know if I was coding I would do
it this way )
one is hard coded and is based on server lag, etc. the other is user
selectable. this delay is extremely important. Why? if the creator fights
along with the pet they both get more exp AND they both get both types of
exp. If Rail takes out a monster to fast the creator has no time to get in
a few hits to get these extra points. Recall the creator has a nasty ASPD
delay. It's just not possible to swing that axe more then 2-3 times before
the monster is kill by the pet. so the slower the kill the more the creator
can hit the more points. this is something I've yet seen others understand.
specially on donate servers where one hit kill is the norm.

4) as default setting you should turn off chaotic blessing and set HP to
20% for several reasons. 1st is the pet gets locked into a heal cycle and
quits fighting. this is very bad. better to have the pet give it's all and
possible die. cause if it gets into the heal cycle the creator WILL die.
2nd is setting to 20% sorta saves the user from himself when they go and
start changing settings. if they turn on chaotic blessing auto heal at
least the cycle won't kick in until the actor is about to die anyway.

What's really needed is for auto heal during IDLE time or just after the
mob is dead. there is a secondary problem to this. the pet will not move if
it is giving out heals. so it's possible for the actor to walk away during
the heal process. which is to say a check for movement has to be made as
part of the loop. you can't just go into a heal cycle.

I know you have problems with "does this guy really know whats going on"
posts. I hope this demonstrates the depth of my cognition at your service
and for me avoids that question.

The Future is Ours.

ps if you play on a public server send me an pm and I'll join it.
this will make testing and communication easier for all.

Monster Tactics and longer range of cells for Tempfriend

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
Monster tactics, Tempfriend: better assist mode.

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1. Attack certain monsters only
2. Avoid certain monsters only
3. Better assist mode

What is the current behavior in the above situation?

Attack any monster.

What revision of the product are you using?

revision 166

What type of homunculus/mercenary are you using?
Amistr

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm currently leveling my amistr in mosco but it is still in its minor
levels. It cannot kill wood goblins as of the moment. I am currently making
it non-aggressive, but it is tiring leveling my amistr manually.
Thanks!

Friend Support problem

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I'm a priest with a bow mercenary.
I have a Knight friend.
I call my mercenary and with traceAI i get his ID
I set this:
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["ByID"][1234567] = {}
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["ByID"][1234567]["Friend"] = true
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["ByID"][1234567]["Name"] = 'FriendKnight'

And also this:
rail_state["AssistOptions"]["Friend"] = "assist"

Another thing because it wasn't working:
rail_state["TempFriendRange"] = 8
And i was ALWAYS standing behind him.

I don't exactly remember what my config was when i did this test as i had to 
change it later; i think i tried switching several options such as DefendOnly, 
Aggressive but without any success

What is the expected outcome? What do you see instead?
My friend Knight attacks and gets attacked by a monster, the mercenary should 
assist my friend as he gets attacked but the mercenary did nothing at all. I 
have to add i wasn't using the MobID file, since it's empty, so i  must work 
with the Default option of the ActorOptions. BAsically i just want the 
mercenary assist when my friend gets attacked ONLY (don't want it in aggressive 
mode attacking everything)

What revision of the product are you using?
172

What type of homunculus/mercenary are you using?
Bow Mercenary.

Please provide any additional information below.
I can make this test on an isolated environment if you need, since the knight 
has Provoke. If you need any more feedback let me know i'll try to gather as 
much data as possible.

Problems in adding new ByType and the AI sometimes freezed there without attacking

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Configuring the AI while in-game
2.Adding new ByType
3.Changing the value of MaxDistance

What is the expected outcome? What do you see instead?
The first thing that I expect is that the values don't change as it always 
revert back to the default. 

What revision of the product are you using?
Version.lua 171

What type of homunculus/mercenary are you using?
Amistr

Please provide any additional information below.
One of them is that I want to change it to this 
    rail_state["AssistOptions"]["Owner"] = "assist" 
but after 5-10 seconds, it revert back to 
    rail_state["AssistOptions"]["Owner"] = "indifferent"
Any proper way to actually change it? What I mean is that can I configure it 
while I'm using it or I have to close RO to configure it?
Another thing is that the Ai freezed sometimes without attacking or moving. It 
will stay in that state until I moved my character.

Homunculus stopped attacking

What steps will reproduce the problem?
No idea.

What is the expected outcome? What do you see instead?
Attack the orc skeleton. The homunculus stopped attacking even when the orc 
skeleton is attacking it. But it attacked other monster such as zenorc, 
drainliar and steel chonchon.

Adding feature to sense the number of monster around

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
A counter for the number of monster around.(?)

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1.Monsters within the area of MaxDistance will be calculated
2.Use certain skill if monsters exceed the amount inputted by the user
3.Improvement in efficiency of sp usage. (Not worth it using Blood Lust with 
only one monster around

What is the current behavior in the above situation?
Nothing

What revision of the product are you using?
Version.lua 171 2010-06-19 10:12:41

What type of homunculus/mercenary are you using?
Amistr

Please provide any additional information below.
ince it actually detect all the actor around the user/homunculus, might as well 
make a counter to it and decrease the counter if it dies/ increase the counter 
if monster spawned. (Not sure if this is doable, just a suggestion)

Homuculus skills that need to check the owner's HP (Castling & Lif's skills)

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1.Owner's HP drops below certain amount
2.Homunculus use that skill to help out owner

What is the current behavior in the above situation?
Not sure if it's in.

Please provide any additional information below.
Owner is attacked by 5+ mobs while homunculus only by 1-2. The Amistr should be 
able to detect the owner's HP and cast 'Castling' while Lif can heal the owner 
while he's attacking. Again, not sure if it's in though.

• Merged into: #16

Vanilmirth does not always make use of the fact that Caprice is ranged.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have Vanilmirth acquire a target and go to kill it.
2.
3.

What is the expected outcome? What do you see instead?

I would like for it to use Caprice immediately upon entering range, every time 
(provided it hasn't already used Caprice within the past two seconds, of 
course). INSTEAD, it will often walk all the way to melee range before using 
Caprice.

Add option for minimum SP amount for each skill.

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
Option which does not allow to use Chaotic Blessing (Vanilmirth) if SP at 
homunculus there is less than set.

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1.Since SP it is restored faster, and at small quantity of monsters on a card 
or rest SP already full, and HP is at very low level (5-30 %).
2.Increases survivability at AfK-lvling.
3.It is possible to leave SP on fight that at a meeting with the strong monster 
to beat its not only physical attack.


What is the current behavior in the above situation?
Now Vanilmirth uses Chaotic Blessing without dependence from quantity SP.

Added AutoPassiveSP but there is a "lock" problem

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Update TargettingSupport.lua with part of my script
2.Set some values to AutoPassiveSP, AutoUnPassiveSP and AutoPassiveSPisPercent
3.Make actor use only skills on an enemy, i didn't set AttackAllowed to false, 
but this particular case happens a lot when using Bow mercs

What is the expected outcome? What do you see instead?
I expect the mercenary to "lock" into target when using skills only, but for 
some reason it enters passive mode when the SP is too low instead of continuing 
with normal attacks.
I don't think this is a fault of the AutoPassiveSP part of the srcipt, because 
i've seen many times that homuns or mercs use a skill on a target and then uses 
a skill on another nearby target, i "think" that the "lock" to target function 
is not being triggered by using a skill on a target.

ActorOptions ByID - Not working

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Add actor options for a specific monster (in this case Permeter) and set it 
the skills and attack allowed option to false
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["ByID"][1314] = {}
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["ByID"][1314]["SkillsAllowed"] = false
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["ByID"][1314]["AttackAllowed"] = false

2. Set the ActorOptions(Default) skills and attack allowed option to true
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["MaxCastsAgainst"] = -1
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["FreeForAll"] = false
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["TicksBetweenSkills"] = 0
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["SkillsAllowed"] = true
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["DefendOnly"] = false
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["MinSkillLevel"] = 1
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["Name"] = "unknown"
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["DefaultIgnoreTicks"] = 10000
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["AttackAllowed"] = true
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["Priority"] = 0
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["MaxSkillLevel"] = 5
rail_state["ActorOptions"]["Default"]["IgnoreAfterChaseFail"] = 5000

3.Set aggre mode to true
rail_state["Aggressive"] = true

What is the expected outcome? What do you see instead?
ByID is supposed to override the Default and ByType, in this case, my homun 
(Vanil 99) is not supposed to attack Permeter(1314 ID) because SkillsAllowed 
and AttackAllowed are both false. Yet it still does.

I don't know if i missed out something in the RAIL_State.homu.lua. I'll

Also, i'd like to clarify somethings.
1. I'm not supposed to edit/modify what's in the USER_AI such as actor, 
actoropts etc... (except for the config file).

2. If i'm going to change my homun settings, i only need to modify 
RAIL_State.homu.lua in RO Folder (which i already did /heh). 

And, thanks for this AI! really smooth.

Help request for using stand-alone mercenary

Sorry if this is not the place to do this but i don't see anywhere to ask for 
help.

I understand how the config works when using homunculus and when using 
mercenaries/homunculus as a team, but i don't understand, if i'm using a 
priest, how i can configure a mercenary since they can't see monsters ByType.

Thanks in advance.

Impossible Destinations, Error checking for Out of Reach Monsters

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
Both.

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1. Go to an area that includes a ledge which creates a mob. There will be no 
available routes less than the maximum distance the homunc can travel from the 
owner, so the homunc idles while other mobs attack it.

What is the current behavior in the above situation?
The homunculus attempts to move to a mob that it cannot reach for reasons of 
terrain. The homunc behavior hangs, waiting to get to its target.

It would really be cool if the AI (both mercs and homun) return close to 
the owner after they can't "sense" any mobs nearby.

I use both at the same time was to increase the rate of them surviving.
but at certain times, they suddenly get separated. although the range is 
quite small probably 5~7 tiles.. they does not assist each other. 

This feature also increase the owner's survivability rate. specially when 
afk leveling.

"Type" value range in State file

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
Having the possibility to enter range of values in the State file ; or maybe 
pre-existing families?

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1. It would make the State file way more readable AND more easily 
maintainable/changeable (by not having dozens of copy/paste'd lines of options)
2.
3.

What is the current behavior in the above situation?
Possibly very big number of exactly similar "behaviour description" lines

What revision of the product are you using?
172

What type of homunculus/mercenary are you using?
Vanilmirth

Please provide any additional information below.
So basically no real new functionality, just making use of the State file more 
easy. I actually came upon the idea by wanting my homonculus not to attack 
players, homonculi and mercenaries: I had to have "Type" lines for type 0 to 
25, and then 6001 to 6046 (or something along those lines). Unless I completely 
missed some already existing range functionality (in which case you can nuke 
this request right now), I had to add it one by one, with exactly the same 
settings. And then I thought later that I would rather have the homonculus be 
in DefendOnly mode, with no casting delay (I have some delay in my Default 
case) --> I needed to add/modify lines exactly the same way on EVERY of the ~65 
lines (which I didn't gather the courage to do :D)

You got the idea.

Might be some families instead (e.g. 'Player' = 0 to 25) to keep it simple, as 
I think players, homonculi and mercenaries are the most susceptible to share 
options for their Types, while monsters in general most likely don't get too 
much common options (and do not come in nice Type order).
I just like tidy effortless config files, that's all :P

update tag autoflagging to false?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Include rail_state["update"] = true in your state file
2. Call/summon Homunculus or invoke RAIL
3. Check State file, rail_state["update"] now becomes = false

What is the expected outcome? What do you see instead?
I would expect that 'true' remains true, unless I misunderstand the purpose of 
this hidden tag.

Just a bit odd; pyRO-RAIL hard codes this value to 'true' every time it outputs

Defense thresholds based on priority totals

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?

Allow defense prioritization to be based on the total of all attacking 
actors' priorities.

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1. Owner tanks an MVP's mob
2. AI gains MVP's individual aggro
3. AI should continue killing higher priority (MVP) instead of defending 
owner

What is the current behavior in the above situation?

When mobbed, once a target switches to the homu/merc, the AI will continue 
to try and defend the owner.

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
since RAIL can attack while moving, i would love to see an option that will 
instruct RAIL to try to maintain a certain distance from the target while 
attacking.  would do wonders for the uber low HP bowman, =)

feature?
with AttackWhileChasing set to true, RAIL engages a target.  as target moves

Obstacles/corners cause AI to move outside MaxDistance

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
usability

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1. Set a mob on high priority with a kite distance (4 or so) on tank mode.
2. Approach mob and have the homuncuuls run away from the mob.


What is the current behavior in the above situation?
Homunculus will eventually run beyond the max distance as set, usually 
offscreen, where it does not receive commands.

What revision of the product are you using?
v.185

What type of homunculus/mercenary are you using?

Please provide any additional information below.
Kiting is working quite well, except when a mob pushes the homunculus out of 
range. Perhaps an improvement would be to have the homunculus to maintain range 
from mob at max range AND within maxdistance range.

Delay on Load

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
Efficiency

What revision of the product are you using?
Latest.

It would be nice if we could have a Tick option that delays the AI from 
processing on load, specifically because the homunculus gathers Actors and 
starts doing options immediately on load. When MVPing, you teleport around all 
the time. With this AI, you sacrafice (or your homunc) sacrifice those few 
seconds of invulnerability.

System "Moving" (Behavior, Option)

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
To add options:
 + In fight: 
        - Distance until Homunculus begins chasing owner.

 + Not in fight:

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1. More flexible and exact adjustment.
2. Homunculus will not stack and lag behind(I hope for it).
3. When Homunculus in fight, will allow to move to the alchemist on the big 
distance (for example to bring still the monster's) while Homunculus will 
continue fight.

Allow homunculus to return to user after killing target.

What feature would enhance usability or efficiency?
Have a function to allow the Homunculus to return to its owner after it kills a 
target

What steps would demonstrate the improvement granted by the recommended
feature?
1. Sometimes my homunculus gets sniped by a monster from off screen ,e.g. Orc 
Archers. Allowing the homunculus to return to the owner will draw the monster 
closer and thus within screen range and allowing the homunculus to fight back.
2. By having the homunculus next to the owner, it takes less time on average to 
reach the next target monster when it spawns. If the homunculus were 14 cells 
above you and a monster spawns 14 cells below you, the homunculus would have to 
travel all the way across the screen. Whereas if the homunculus were to return 
to its owner (when there is not monster), it would have to travel only 
half-screen.

What is the current behavior in the above situation?
Homunculus stays put after killing a monster either it be 4 cells away or 14 
cells away. It does not return to its owner. It will still aquire new targets 
from said spot normally.

What revision of the product are you using?
171 2010-06-19

I would love it if we had a way to auto notify the player when certain Actors 
came onstage. In particular, I envisioned the state file addition to look like 
this:

rail_state["ActorOptions"]["ByType"][1159]["Notify"] = true

The behavior would illicit a dialogue box of some sort indicating that the mob 
(in this case, Phreeoni) was found on the screen (this is a pretty good 
indicator for me to stop my teleport happy tendencies).

I know that Actors are processed by priority, but typically this option would 
be used for high priority mobs, like MVPs, so it shouldn't be an issue.

I realize that this has the potential for abuse re: PvP cloaked and hidden 
characters, but that isn't why I want it. Any chance something like this can be 
added?
