Problem - Bard stops mid pull

[dreamflux]

As described above my puller, in this case a Bard, will from time to time simply not return to camp after tagging a mob. There doesn't seem to be a set pattern to this, but it does seem to occur once ever few hours. This is on a machine six boxing with WinEQ2. This occurs with and without MQ2Navigation engaged. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pasting in my Bard's ini here as well in case it's some sort of setting issue.

Did this just start happening?

 

[dreamflux]

I believe that this has been a problem since I began using Kissassist a month ago, but have really only noticed this happening regularly in the past two weeks. It's very strange. The bard tags a mob, will turn around and begin to move towards camp and then just stop. Sometimes it even turns around and engages and fights.

 

[Lucent]

I've been noticing this too sometimes on pulls, usually its when it cant get line of sight, rather than go back its failing to continue and the puller just stands there til something wanders by and kills it. I haven't written about it yet because I've been trying to pinpoint it if I can.

I think that this may have something to do with my issue as well. I'm looking through my logs right now. Wish it had both the EQ and MQ text all in one file.

 

[ctaylor22]

Yea, I have a fix for this one. I don't think this has been added into the core code. This fix can potentially bork the puller if they are COH'd while pulling.. give me a sec so I can find the code..

 

[dreamflux]

Here is a brief excerpt of one of my deaths from yesterday. This is 8 seconds following the death of the previous mob/looting done by a different character. Based on the log I believe the bard went to look for a mob, had LOS issues, returned to camp, went out for another and tagged with Bellow and then just stood there.

OK here you go.

Go to sub pull and find this code:

Add Highlighted line

        /if (!${Me.Mount.ID} && ${Me.Sitting}) /stand        
        /if (${Select[${Role},pullerpettank]} && ${PullRoleToggle} && ${Group.Puller.ID}!=${Me.ID}) {
            /if (${Math.Distance[${Spawn[${Target.ID}].Y},${Spawn[${Target.ID}].X}:${CampYLoc},${CampXLoc}]}>${CampRadius}) /call TogglePullMode TurnOn
        }
        /varset BeginMobID ${Me.XTarget[${XTSlot}].ID}
        /if (!${Me.Running}) /keypress RUN_WALK
        /if (${ReturnToCamp}>1) /varset ReturnToCamp 1
       :PullAgain

and this code.

            | Exit pull and reset if timed out or wandered too far from camp
            /if (${DebugPull}) /echo Pulling 1.2
            /if (${PullTimer}==0 || ${Math.Distance[${CampYLoc},${CampXLoc}]} >= ${Math.Calc[${MaxRadius}*.90]} || ${PullAttempts}>=7 && !${Target.LineOfSight} && !${Select[${Role},hunter,hunterpettank]} || !${Spawn[${MyTargetID}].ID}) {
                /varset PullTempIgnoreList ${Target.ID},${PullTempIgnoreList}
                /squelch /alert add 1 id ${Target.ID}
                /if (${DebugPull}) /echo DEBUGPULL Pull: /echo Adding ${Target.CleanName} ID:${Target.ID} to temp ignore list
                /call PullReset
                /if (${DebugPull}) /echo DEBUGPULL Pull: Done Pulling-Timer expired, Mob unreachable or exceeded max pull radius.
                /if (${ReturnToCamp}) /varset ReturnToCamp 2
                /goto :DonePulling
            }

Now go to sub dowemove and change the highlighted line

        | - Shuts off ReturnToCamp if a toon moves a big distance defined by CampRadiusExceed ie CoH !${Pulled} || ${Pulling}
        /if (${ReturnToCamp}) {
        /if (${DebugMove}) /echo DEBUG DoWeMove:(ReturnToCamp) My distance from camp is: (${Math.Distance[${CampYLoc},${CampXLoc}]}).
            /if (${Math.Distance[${CampYLoc},${CampXLoc}]} > ${CampRadiusExceed} && ${ReturnToCamp}==1) {
                /if (${DebugMove}) /echo DEBUG DoWeMove:(ReturnToCamp) CampRadiusExceed turning off ReturnToCamp.
                /varset ReturnToCamp 0
                /echo Leashing exceeded distance of ${CampRadiusExceed} turning off ReturnToCamp
                /return
            }

This may not fix all instances of what causes this issue, but it fixed it for me. I haven't had my puller stall since I made these changes.

 

[dreamflux]

Very neat. I will know later tonight whether this works as I'm currently setting up in a spot that it happens every 2-3 hours it seems.

 

[ctaylor22]

it happens to me when the mob is right on the edge of my pull range(1400) and the mob is moving away from camp, by the time I get to the mob he is out of range. This is how I fixed my issue of stalling. It has been working for me for a couple of months now..

 

[Lucent]

I see you also added a bit there so if for some reason your puller is not running, it will turn running back on instead of walking. I think i'll snatch that up

I saw that and grabbed it too. Threw me for a loop to begin with. I am decent with code, but by no means great.

 

[ctaylor22]

that is only 1 piece of the code for run/walking. what that does is keep you from getting to far from the mob and loosing them before you get back to camp. If you need that feature just let me know and I will post the rest of the code..

Hah! It definitely just causes kissassist to crash without the rest of the code.

Need to do some more testing, but it appears to still be freezing.

Just looked at my MQ2 window. After I get aggro on the mob MQ returns "Looks like adds in camp, aborting pulls" and the puller just stops dead in his tracks.

 

[Randyleo]

What is your camp radius?

 

[dreamflux]

30. I pasted my INI up top.

Little bit more feedback. I went back and downloaded Kiss 7.3 and used that to run my bard with the rest of my characters on 8.2.1. This worked flawlessly.
