Release Epic Laziness (1 Viewer) v0.4.25

I just had the same thing happen with the exact same step.
Fighting the Plains Dragon and the Forest dragon and it crashed out.
Manually killed the dragon and restarted Epic Laziness and it took off on the step that would follow looting the crystal.

This was message for Forest Dragon same as above but the PID number

I was able to pause the script and do the step in manual and this never happened. Only when the program is running in auto does it crash.

Good day all.

So beyond the above issues....

1- I was doing the mage epic on 2 different mages and they both encountered the same issue. I was using the "Use inviso while traveling" option. At one point I was following the EQProgression, https://www.eqprogression.com/magician-1-5-epic-guide-staff-of-elemental-essence/ , guide to follow along. When I got to step 8, the program turned in the books and then sent me on my way to go talk to Walnan and Ak'sot. So I thought.....
I half paid attention at this point because everything seemed so smooth and going well.... so I thought.... Long story short, I never got the emote to make the prompts for those two NPCs to talk.
I re-ran the steps and what I found that had happened....1 day later from frustration, the program never made me visible to speak to Walnan that she ignored me. So on the next step to go talk to Akkstaff, he would acknowledge me.

I restarted these steps and having the "inviso while traveling" option checked, it would inviso me too fast and never get the emote to pass on to the next person. So, I did repeat the steps once more and, for some reason, program would inviso me prior to saying the words to get the emote. After this, I clicked off the "inviso while traveling" option and it progressed properly as intended.

2- I was finding that the mages were having casting vs moving timing issues. My guys would start casting inviso but would move before it was done thereby causing them to recast inviso and once again, move before it was complete causing interruptions each time.

3- Running to a faming mob then sitting at open spell book to mem a spell instead of killing mob. This happened consitantly no matter how I set up the Mode since the Lua would auto set the mode. Sometimes I would pause the Lua and it still wouldnt let me pick my own target or stop combat. It kept forcing me to switch to the primary target. This happened on the mobs that require target switching to melt down the adds before resuming on the named.

Sorry I didnt capture the information from the script but most was scrolled past clipping point.

What I noticed was most importantly, the whole script progresses really fast and can cause things to not work out right. Not sure if things need a pause or if that is even feasible but, I have noticed prompts being missing sometimes and once I stopped the script, I could complete the task then restart.

I hope thi shelps out somewhat and I can work with you on testing too if need be. :)

Thank you
 
Toon: lvl 123 (Troll/Big Race) Shaman - CWTN Shaman plugin - Silent Presence invis - Communion of the Cheetah travel
Epic Task: Shaman 1.5

Issue: Looping on Step 9 - Move to Ancient Megalodon

Running EL, the shaman moved successfully to Lake Rathe (Step 6), traveled to Kimm McShanenel (Step 7), and spawned Ancient Megalodon (Step 8).

On Step 9 - Move to Ancient Megalodon, the shaman moved / swam to the shark, but would not recognize that the NPC was close. Below is (part of) my log output:



The Ancient Megalodon was at the same X/Y location as the shaman, but it was far above the Shaman on the Z axis. The script kept looping on Navigating to the spawn / looking for Ancient Megalodon.

I tried a few things - add/remove Lev, pause-move-restart, etc. but without success.

Finally, I paused the EL script, cast a DOT on the shark, and killed it.

When I then restarted EL, it was stuck on Step 9:



I eventually told EL to
--> 'Jump to Step' 11 - Check if we have the items we need: Lustrous Seaweed
and continued from there.

z axis stuff in water can be an absolute pain in the ass. Everything you did here was the proper solution. Kill it and advance the quest step.

I will look at adding greater support for z axis in water.

Issue: Formatting Crash ?? when fighting 'dire griffon' -- solo bard with Cleric merc

While fighting the 'dire griffon' in Karanas, the following happend:

Not really sure what is going on -- I was able to manually kill the Plains Dragon that had spawned, and could continue.

Hope this is useful.

This is an odd one. at step 115 we damage the `a dire griffon` to spawn the `a plains dragon` . Once that occurs we travel to the plains dragon (in case it somehow spawned a distance away.)

Since this is a travel step, and I had it set to do so, it will try to invis if set, which causes the value of the status text (currently "Damaging <mob> to below <health_pct>% health.") When this text is initially passed to the status text it is properly escaped with %% for the percent sign. But then when the text is read, it is not being stored with that escape sequence, so when it is set again things crash. I have changed % to percent to fix this issue. That was a fun one. It will be fixed when the update hits RG.

Ugh, i hate non-see invis mobs. I will add a call to remove invisibility before talking to these two.


2- I was finding that the mages were having casting vs moving timing issues. My guys would start casting inviso but would move before it was done thereby causing them to recast inviso and once again, move before it was complete causing interruptions each time.

I'm going to assume you were using the Perfected Invisibility AA. (because it is either that or potion). I have increased the delay before it resumes movement.

3- Running to a faming mob then sitting at open spell book to mem a spell instead of killing mob. This happened consitantly no matter how I set up the Mode since the LUA would auto set the mode. Sometimes I would pause the LUA and it still wouldnt let me pick my own target or stop combat. It kept forcing me to switch to the primary target. This happened on the mobs that require target switching to melt down the adds before resuming on the named.

EL only memorizes spells when it has to damage a mob without killing. Which off the top of my head is currently only ranger and bard. Whatever issue you were having with it stopping to mem a spell would be related to whatever class automation (kissassist, rgmercs, mq2mage) you were using.

Sorry about that, moved a lot of files around last night and missed a couple of the require statements. The updated version corrects this.
 
so just bought this and it is not populating in the launcher i refreshed it and then closed it completely and reopened it still not showing up in my Lua list and yes i watched the post. any suggestions?

You have to watch *overview* and not *discussion*
 
just bought a copy, so far i click watch and bought a copy. I try to refresh Lua to bring it up and it does NOT appear!!! any idea's. I rebooted and reloaded x 2. tks
 
And just for clarity, the overview page and *not* the discussion page
Correct, Overview page Watched ( I even tried to unwatch and then rewatch ) Launcher Restarted 3x even rebooted pc. It doesnt show up on launcher or in my purchases/license here on this site.
 
same as above, watched from overview page, relaunched launcher, refreshed, nothing showing. Also, my purchases and licenses tabs do not show the product.
 
I am not sure what the wonkiness with licensing stuff is currently. I am looking into it today. Thank you for your patience.

same issue here, waiting for a response.

Just purchased, is there a delay between paying and getting access to this? Not seeing it in my purchases/license

I bought this twice and still can't access it?

There was an issue on my end with paypal due to having changed banks. I have corrected the issue, and checked licenses and you each seem to be showing a valid license now.

Additionally in the cases of multiple payments having been made, I have refunded the additional payments.

If there are still any issues with this please let me know ASAP so I can either check your license, or refund any duplicate payments I may have missed.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience, and grateful for your patience.
 
Thank you for this EPIC Lua! I love it :).

Very VERY minor bugs. I wouldn't have even mentioned them except I know that if it was my Lua, I would want to know about them.

===============================================
  • What were you doing at the time the bug occurred?
    • Ranger Epic 1.5 Pre Quest
    • The step where you use the elevator in Kelethin (GFay)
    • The script paused and displayed the following line
    • [2024/12/08 07:36:26] [Epic Laziness:INFO <3337.673> (RNGPre-1.5-79) (travel.Lua::func():2027)] Waiting for correct Z location. (77.59).
      I typed "/loc" and recieved the following info
      [2024/12/08 07:37:34] Your Location is -23.10, -135.84, 76.22, and are heading south.
    • My character is a halfling
    • I applied lev and stepped forward and the script resumed
  • Can you reproduce the bug? What steps can the creator follow to reproduce the bug themselves?
    • No
    • Run a character through the script
  • What was the behavior you expected? What actually happened?
    • I expected to step off the elevator and travel to the target NPC
    • I was standing on the elevator and not moving
===============================================


Ranger AA Nature's Bounty will regularly give the ranger 2 items on each forage attempt.
The script auto inventories one of these items. The other items pile up on the cursor.

Cheers!
 
Good Morning,

I am receive the following error when trying to run the script. I made sure everything is updated from the launcher as well.

Good Morning,

I am receive the following error when trying to run the script. I made sure everything is updated from the launcher as well.
Version v0.4.23 will hit the website in the next hour or so and should correct this issue.
 
Is it normal to just randomly stop during an epic run (not paused. Still shows running)? I tried running this on a bard and on a rogue. Both just randomly stopped with no error and just no longer moved.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
