Problem - Problem with BST pet buffing

[eqholic]

I'm in the guildhall with my heroic bst, no pet out. I start ka with /mac kissassist manual. ka summons my pet twice even tough PetSuspend=0. No biggie but still. The bigger problem is that many bst pet buffs have very long recast delays and ka doesn't wait long enough after memming the buff and instead of casting, it just mems the next one, causing an endless loop.

Possible fix for mem loop:
in line 2094: /delay 350 ${Me.SpellReady[${castWhat}]} && ${Me.GemTimer[${castWhat}]}==0
change 350 to 380, (370 isn't enough for Spellbreakers Aegis for some reason)

Yea we have been trying to figure out a way to allow for long refresh spells and not hold up regular buffs, but to do this there would have to be a secondary gem used that would be used just for long wait time spells and after it buffs then swaps it out with the original spell.

Still trying to figure out the easiest way to do this.

 

[eqholic]

Well the present delay is already pretty long, just not long enough And a long wait is better than an endless loop I'd say. Personaly I don't mind the wait when it works, can't do it faster manualy anyway on multiple toons. That's one of the nice things with KA, it works in parallel.

 

[ctaylor22]

I am not sure how we are going to handle this in the end, but I would like to be able to mem the long wait spells in a different gem then the miscgem and continue to cast the regular buffs/spells and then when the long wait spell becomes available, cast it and then re-mem back the spell that it overwrote.

Any input on this would be appreciated from anyone reading this post..

Is there any way for KA to read the "refresh/mem-delay" time and just wait accordingly so the timer is a variable set for each spell vs a static number?

Yes. See member RecastTime in http://www.redguides.com/docs/projects/macroquest/reference/data-types/datatype-spell/

Yep. we are on the same page.. You guy's need to get ready for a change in the way you setup your MiscGem.. It will really be important what you have memed above it.. Just get ready for it now..

... You guy's need to get ready for a change in the way you setup your MiscGem.. It will really be important what you have memed above it.. Just get ready for it now..

Currently I have something memed that I let ka use during combat or if ka uses less than 12 spells in combat I mem something I woulkd like to have up when I take over manualy. Please don't let the intricacies of the buffing system dictate that.

 

[ctaylor22]

Well normally any feature that gets added has a way to turn it off if you don't want to use it.. I am thinking of creating a second miscGem in the General section and if it is =0 then it will ignore the Long wait spell code.

 

[Meistro]

I can see how that might be beneficial as long as it remems the spells you have set in the gems when you start KA.

But why can't the timer just be set to wait for the spell then or adjust the timer to each spell wait time?? (note I know NOTHING about coding..

It is not really an issue with the timer as it is with the time it takes the spell to be ready to cast. Some spells take up to 6 minutes before they are ready to cast.. Currently when a spell gets memed the delay is set to 35 seconds, so that means any spell that takes over 35 seconds to refresh will never get cast. Besides that, the caster just stands there doing nothing, when it could be casting the next buff/spell in the lineup..

And yes we took into consideration to remem the original spell that was there when the macro started. I have been testing the new code this weekend and made some major changes to the remem code. It is working as expected but will require some time in production, before it can be completely perfected. Like I said before, you can turn the feature off when you need to, and by default it is off, so if you want to use it you will have to turn it on..

 

[Meistro]

an Idea on the remem part of the spell, could you just have it set to remem the spell list set in the ini after it goes through the buff sequence ... so like, buff check, yes need these buffs cast, buff loop, all buffs cast remem spell set named in ini?

It's worse, ka will try meming said spells over and over. I think it's a user decision whether I want such buffs in my lineup or not. I guess the 6 min spell is Divine Intervention. This one I would only use manualy before a hard fight. Or have it memed on a fixed gem.
