Final Fantasy Evolution: FFEvo Portal

Gambits is a simple program I have built to simplify partying a bit. Using a series of commands coupled with reactions it waits for certain conditions to be met and then reacts the way you tell it too.

At the moment Gambits can hold up to a max of 9 Targets/reactions, though I suppose I could add more for you if you guys really wanted them o_o

Currently the list of target conditions are:




And the reactions are:



The Wait: <Time> Target/Argument currently does not function as I am trying to figure out how to get it to work. The rest are good.

If you wish to see any targets/reactions to be added to Gambits, by all means ask. It shouldn't be too hard to add anything. Currently I am trying to figure out how to add a monitored wait time so you can have the program perform an ability and then wait 5 minutes before it uses again while still performing all the other tasks.

I am also trying to figure out how to scan for enfeeble effects on party members and add "Member: Poisoned" and etc.

Also I would like to add "Finishes = #" however I do not know how to check for status effects on your own character either. Im sure its not too hard I just haven't gotten a chance to look it up.


Here's a quick guide to setting up and using Gambits.

http://i29.tinypic.com/142hf5w.jpg

1: Target Type
This selects what condition you wish to have the program wait for to occur before it reacts. The program sets higher up targets on higher priority. If the conditions of the first and last target are met, it will perform the first one first, and the last one last. Something important to not is the Party member targets scan your own character with the rest of the party. For example: "Party HP<25%" will target you first if your HP is less than 25%, thefor it is pointless to set "Self HP<25%" anywhere else on the program. It's already being done!

2: Argument for Target Type
This adds necessary information for any Target types that require input. At the moment the only one that requires input is "Chatlog: <string>", this target waits for what you enter in the argument to appear in the chat log, anywhere contained within. It then executes your command. Default target to receive any ability/spell in reaction is yourself for Chatlog, otherwise use the output text reaction to target your opponent.

3: Reaction
Once the conditions are met for a target, its connected Reaction is Executed. Depending on the previous target may change how the reaction works. For example, if you set "Party: HP<50%" coupled with "Cure III" you're character will cast Cure III on any members with their hp <50%, however if it is just "Self HP<50%" you will only cure yourself.

4: Argument for Reaction
This works the exact same way as other Arguments. The only Reaction requiring input at this time is the "Type <text>" Reaction, in which it will output the text in the argument to your game.

5: Enablers
Once a full target/reaction couple has been filled out, the Enabler becomes checkable. When unchecked and running, the program will bypass this Target/reaction and move on, even if conditions are met. This is useful for when editing your settings and not having it react to an unfinished target/reaction. The Enabler will automatically become unchecked when you edit any target/argument/reaction in its set for you. Make sure you turn it back on once you're done!

6: Start/Stop Button
These make Gambits start thinking, scanning continuously over your chat log and settings to see if the conditions are met.


I hope you enjoy my program, please if you have any issues, post them here. If it is within the program itself and not starting/running it, please make sure you tell me, say, if its an issue with an argument not working, tell me what line it is (1-9) as each line has its own code so their could be a typo in one argument and not another. If you can try verifying that the issue persists if you use a different line, like #3 instead of #2 and just leave #2 blank. IF the problem persists it could be with all lines 1-9. This saves me a lot of work and headache as there is a LOT of code to sift through underneath Gambits. Its line by itself has almost 2 pages of script itself to sort through ^_^;


Version 1.1: Fixed some basic errors within coding, specifically the way strings were being combined and some quotation marks. I've now sat and ran this for 3 hours straight healing a trio and fighting mobs. No noticed errors and its reacting pretty fast. Looks like she's good to go! :D


Version 1.2: Working on adding autofill for abilities and spells.

Version 1.3: Autofill and such is working, but not as well as Pro's system. Adding multi process support to this as well soon.

Most of the info you need is in the README, but aside from multi process support, which is my next goal for this project, you can't get much more kickass then this.

Unlike Gambits Light, Gambits Pro has #1 Unlimited gambits you can set, #2 uses a text document to set out its procedure, which means once you finish laying out that perfect red mage solo bot AI, you don't need to make it again.

If you're not much for programming or writing scripts, don't worry. Gambits Pro has a built in IDE right on it for building individual Gambits one at a type. Just open the menus, click your settings, generate the gambit, and copy paste it into your sheet! Easy as pie.

Here's a copypasta of the readme file:



And a couple examples of some scripts I tossed up in like 2 minutes...

Dancer Solo Bot:


And a bard skillup bot... I guess? It'd work I suppose, doesn't beat other actual skill up bots but nonetheless shows the potential for this program. Who know what you guys can come up with :D




Hope you guys enjoy it, it took me all day of converting and serious work to make.


Version 1.1:

Oh yeah, and did I mention.

Pro version is using multi strings


Version 1.2:


Gambits Pro now supports Multiple processes. Go ahead and load up your 6 mules and watch them party by themselves :D



Version 1.3

Gambits Pro now has a browse button, allowing you to select the gambit file through browsing instead of copy pasting its file path into the text box.


-Fixed some bugs with check statuseffect = false and = true, for some reason the function I built to do this was listening very well, but it looks like it works well enough now.

-Added a nice little gambit in for you guys that lets you automatically do the Mumor event thats up right now, worked perfectly for me :D


Version 1.4:


Character will now wait for spells to finish casting before attempting new things


Character will also now wait for a spell's recast to be at 0 before attempting to cast

-Fixed the entire list of spells and abilities in the Enum that list spells like Banishga as Banshiga, however on the auto fill form and in your script you will still need to use its old name, but the program internally converts it to what it should be typed as in game for casting.

GAMBITS PRIME COMPENDIUM

Congratulations on downloading the peak of FFXI botting, Gambits Prime, the succesor to Gambits Pro, the successor to the far inferior Gambits Light.

So what's so awesome about Gambits Prime?

Well, first and foremost it has its own fieltype, .gam files.

When you run a .gam file, it opens and runs Gambits Prime, doing all the dirty work on its own. It supports multiprocessing in the most perfect of all methods, all you do is run the .gam file and everything is taken care of for you, no form, no buttons, just run it and sit back, relax, and watch it work its magic.

Assuming you didn't fuck up part of the script, then sit back and watch the program fail miserably and crash all over the place. Don't worry it'll give you a message telling you what line fucked it up though, so you can open your .gam file and figure out what you did wrong.

So where to start? Well first off, place the Gambits Prime folder wherever you want its residence to be semi permenantly. your windower folder generally works well enough.

Next, open up within said folder the Setup folder. Within should be two files: Gambits Setup.exe and Gambit.ico.

What the setup program does is add Gambit.ico to your system 32, then links it to .gam files as their icon. Second, it links .gam files to Gambits Prime.

THIS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL IF THE Setup FOLDER IS NOT STORED RIGHT NEXT TO GAMBITS PRIME. If you take the folder out it won't copy to the right location. Just don't fuck with it okay?

Now if all is good and working, create a file and make its type a .gam, if all is working well, it will turn into the proper icon and when clicked, open up Gambits Prime, which will yell at you for not opening a proper .gam file. Okay but we knew that, but it works.

Now feel free to delet the set up folder, it is no longer needed. However if you ever move the Gambits folder around, none of the shit will work anymore and you will need to rerun the setup program to relink to the Gambit program.

Don't worry this is temporary, I'm working on making a legit install that installs Gambits Prim to your programs folder. Or if you feel like it, just stick it there and run the set up. In fact thats probably a pretty good spot to stick it, C:\Program Files\Gambits Prime, right there.

Now, next step is to take out the Gambits folder. Don't touch the Macros folder for now, we'll get to that later. Macros folder must ALWAYS be beside the Gambits Prime.exe.

Put the gambits folder wherever the hell you want, its just something to sort and hold all your .gam files. In fact they don't even need to be inside of a folder called gambits, put them in a folder named turkeybaster for all I care. All that matters is they are a .gam file, anywhere on your computer. Desktop, in a folder, the C: drive, system 32, whatever floats your boat.

Now take a look at the new dancer solo.gam, hit open with -> notepad.

Now watch here. There's a chance your version of windows might be retarded and think Open with is the same as Set default program, and you'll see the icon for a .gam file change to a notepad file.

This means from now on if you don't fix it, .gam files will be always opened with notepad. We don't want that. Right click it and hit set default program, and select Gambits Prime.exe. Ok fixed, now it shouldn't happen again.

Now take a look at the script. Hey it looks exactly the same! It is! Except for a few minor details.

Scroll to the bottom and check out the section after END, not only is END now required, but 3 new pieces have been added to Gambits Prime.

Name, Members, and Delay. Name is the name of the character you wish for the program to control. Members is how many members you have in your party. Why is this important? Well when using Party HP and etc triggers the program needs to know how many people to check for. Finally there is Delay, this variable sets the delay in milliseconds the program will hesitate between thoughts. If you don't want to look ridiculously suspicious keep this above 150. Say your character's name is Paul, you're flying solo and you want a delay of 200, it should look like this:

END
Name = Paul
Members = 1
Delay = 200

And thats it! The rest of the program operates the exact same way. Because Prime does not have the built in gambit configurator, I added a nice one for you to use.

Enjoy the program, because I'm pretty sure it doesn't get much better than this.
