WoE and bots

Hi,

I've been using openkore for a little bit and I'm trying to see if it's possible to have kore bot navigate it's way to the emperium of a castle?

I haven't botted in a long while and just got back to check on how's Openkore's doing, but from what I recall your bot will need the coordinates that you can use the Console Command where to get your x y coordinates then use the Command Console move to have your bot head towards that location. Your bot will only be able to navigate there if there is a set of waypoints that are known though. Otherwise, you'll need to create those waypoints manually.

For castles that are very maze-like, I highly recommend using the macro plugin, by first manually finding out all the coordinates x y of the route from the entrance of the castle to the emp room and just have a set of move commands using those coodrinates to get to the emp. Set the macro to go off when the bot receives a command or is at the entrance of the castle. Use your creativity.

We have capable pathfinder, why any waypoints or any macro are needed? What's different in castles?

Oh the last time I used it 2ish years ago, my bots tended to get stuck, or it take the long route there or would walk in a loop looking for the final destination in some of the maze-like castles. I used the macros to route the bot in the same manner as I would manually walk there, which would at least made me feel more certain that I wouldn't experience the above issues during a time sensitive situation. I take it the pathfinder has been improved since then, so I'll check it out if those issues still come up and do a time comparison, which way would be faster.

That was probably caused by wrong portal configuration. If there's a problem with pathfinder itself, we need a specific case (map, starting location, destination, portals configuration, routeweights, maybe field file) where it fails like that.

Also it may be like when getting caught in a portal it has just appeared from. That's unrelated to castles and happens on other maps too.
