Farm Manager - Tribal Wars 2 Farmbot (old version from 2018)

[kni4x]

It just happened again when i was watching. However i noticed it opens the Raport window and all reports where normaly visible, and then sudenly the browser closed.

20-13-46.557: I click on the button to navigate to the next report.
20-13-49.765: Caption of the current open report: ‘Dziś o 11:17:23 - xx atakuje: ( Wioska barbarzyńska )’
20-13-49.765: Hey, I have seen a report with the same caption before! I skip this report and continue with the next one. If you see this happen all the time, make sure that the game is visible in the web browser.
20-13-51.118: I click on the button to navigate to the next report.
20-13-54.335: Caption of the current open report: ‘Dziś o 11:17:23 - xx atakuje: ( Wioska barbarzyńska )’
20-13-54.336: Hey, I have seen a report with the same caption before! This has happened 3 consecutive times. This could be caused by the the bug in the Tribal Wars 2 Web App which breaks reports display (Bug In Tribal Wars 2 Web App - Broken Report Display). I start the process to recover from this bug.
20-13-54.336: I begin the process to restart the report UI and continue at report with time ‘11:17:23’.
20-13-56.090: I clicked the button to open the report list. Next, I set the page size to 100.
20-14-02.831: I parse the reports in there to find the best to continue with.
20-14-02.836: I parsed 0 report items.
20-14-02.836: I did not find a report item with time of ‘11:17:23’. I continue with the last report in the list.

@kni4x

Could you provide me with some work around for this problem before you come up with an solution.

Sure, when we know what happens in your case, and what option you prefer, we can adapt the bot.
Last time I dug up some information about this case was here:

Farm Manager - Tribal Wars 2 Farmbot (old version from 2018)

Thank you @kni4x for the report, I am investigating the problem. This report indicates the problem happened at the following code location: For some reason, the bot only read 0 reports in the report list before the crash. Not sure why this happened yet. Maybe the list of reports was populated slower/later than expected by the bot. In this case, a fix could be having the bot wait longer here, or retry once if this number of reports is 0 in the first try.

To continue, from there: How did the report list look like when the bot crashed on the same code location? Did the reports eventually show up there? If that is the case, a solution could be to wait longer. But if the reports do not show up in the list (quick enough), would you prefer to have the bot start from scratch?

@kni4x

Either by commenting some code lines that couse the error, or reducing in some point the functionality of the bot just to make it run whole night ?

Commenting out a known line is simple: A comment can look like this:

// Text on this line is not interpreted as program

So what lines couse the error?

@kni4x

Also have a question about credits. Does the bot eat credits if the browser closes but the bot engine is still open ? And during breaks between cycles?

Credits are only consumed when the bot is Running or is Paused.

@kni4x

Viir What you are saying is possible. Often when i see the bot working, the report window shows no reports in it. Just a message “No reports to display with current filters” However its some game issue. I dont change the filters during the bot useage and the bot itself doesnt either as i presume.

Ok, that is some progress on the way of finding out what happens in your case
When the game has arrived in this state, how can you make it display the list of reports again?

[Viir (Michael Rätzel)]

@kni4x

Please if possible gimme some work-around before sleep (thats in 10h from now :P) so i dont lose another night

Sure, I made a version of the Farmbot which is adapted to your case. You can download it from https://botengine.blob.core.windows.net/blob-library/by-name/tribal-wars-2-farmbot.v2018-12-09.cs

How does this version work for you?

[Viir (Michael Rätzel)]

@bdc

I tried again, and i can see that the bot tries to select the villa, but doesnt push the button to move it… could it be that the bot dont see the button to click?

Maybe it works when the bot waits more time before attempting the click, or clicks another time if the first try fails.
I adapted the bot to try this, you can download this version of the bot from https://botengine.blob.core.windows.net/blob-library/by-name/tribal-wars-2-farmbot.v2018-10-12.cs

What log do you get with that version?

[bdc]

Hello VIIR,

Still the same… i can see he goes to the map to select the villa but the button to activate the villa is not pressed…or activated…

I don’t know if u guys were with the same problem as I was, but when the bot was trying to switch villages, he couldn’t do it. I realize it was chat’s fault (The village was too close to the chat, and the bot was probably conflicting). I closed the chat and the bot work perfectly.

Hope it help!

[kippie (kip)]

it stops after 1 session , how can i increese it ?
and it farms only with 1 village
how can i fix it ?

[PlayXLD (Math)]

For the second case try to follow the instructions in my commentary above.
For the first case change this on the script:

const int numberOfFarmCyclesToRepeatRandomAdditionMax = 0;

if you scroll through commentaries you’ll find with more details how to proceed.

[kippie (kip)]

can you repost it here ?

[PlayXLD (Math)]

Farm Manager - Tribal Wars 2 Farmbot (old version from 2018)

Hey, you have to set yourself how many cycles to do! Change the “1” in this line const int numberOfFarmCyclesToRepeatMin = 1; to how many cycles you want!

This is the part. Trying to be more precisely:

Open the bot engine and before started go to “Development Environment”, it will show tons and tons lines of code.

In my bot is line 38, yours should be near. Change the number to how many cycles your want.

There’s also line 31:
const int breakBetweenCycleDurationMinSeconds = 60 * 60;

The cycle will only repeat after this 60 minutes, so u can change it and put 30 minutes, or 120 minutes…

Give a look at the green lines of the code. It explains better than i do haha

Thanks, this will be helpful for many people.
I am going to add this somewhere well visible.

Hey @bdc , thank you for the feedback.
One more question about your setup: Do you see a chat window in Tribal Wars 2? Can you send me a screenshot of the game when the bot has tried to switch the village?

[bdc]

Hello VIIR,

You are right, the chat was open, and i think that was prohibiting for the bot to switch villas.
I closed the chat in that chrome browser and started it again ,and now it switches from villa. The bot works with all villas that it can find reports on now. Thank you!

[Mark]

Why is it telling me there are no credits when I just purchased them?

“The current balance of this account is 0 BotEngine credits”

[kippie (kip)]

can we program it, that the bot always sent 50 attacks each village ?

[Viir (Michael Rätzel)]

@Mark

Why is it telling me there are no credits when I just purchased them?

“The current balance of this account is 0 BotEngine credits”

Hello Mark, thank you for the purchase!
After the purchase, an email was sent to you email afddress. In this email, under License Key there is secret code that you can use to add the credits to your account.

To add the credits to your account, log in to your BotEngine account, then enter the code received via email from paddle on the BotEngine website at https://manage.botengine.org/credits/RedeemCreditsVoucher
Below is a screenshot of the form to enter the voucher code or License Key:

You will then see the added credits reflected in your current account balance at https://manage.botengine.org/credits

[Viir (Michael Rätzel)]

I updated the bot to fix village switching:

[Mark]

Yes ty i figured it out

[kippie (kip)]
