We happily present you Miqobot v1.2.6 Beta 🙂
This release introduces a brand new layer of Miqobot – scripting engine to connect and streamline activities in almost any way you can imagine.

What Is Scenario

You can think of scenario as an adventure, a movie script written by you, starring your character.
Miqobot is the director and you are the creator.
You describe what you want to see, and Miqobot follows your instructions to recreate the finished movie directly on your screen.

Scenario consists of chapters.
A chapter is a sequence of logically connected actions made to achieve a certain goal.
For example, when you want to fish, you teleport to a desired location, navigate to a fishing spot, equip a bait, choose what skills to use, decide how long to do it, and then finally start fishing. Until today Miqobot could only do the last step. From now on she is capable to do all of them. You only have to tell her what exactly to do.

Chapter consists of script lines.
Each script line describes a single action – teleport, navigate, select bait. In technical language we call them functions.

Function consists of function name and arguments.

• Name describes the action itself: teleport.
• Arguments describe details: teleport(where).

So if you want to teleport to Zenith, you would write: teleport(Zenith)

And that’s it.
By combining multiple actions together you create a detailed script of what you want Miqobot to do with your character. She will follow your script step by step and will try her best to recreate your adventure.

Functions

This is the list of currently implemented functions.

An important note!
The previous version of Miqobot is not aware of scenarios. If you launch Miqobot v1.2.54 from the same folder, your scenarios and new presets will be lost.

Of course, you can always restore them from automatic backups.

Planned Functions

This is only the beginning.
There will be many more actions available in the future. We will be making new functions for you to experiment with.

• Vendor NPC interactions.
• Equipping recommended gear.
• Retrieving items from retainer.
• Assigning retainer ventures.
• Converting spiritbonded gear.
• Accepting and initiating levequests.
• Training chocobos in stables.
• Custom popups.
• Switching chapters and scenarios.
• Fish whitelist to customize Release feature.
• GP-based and hidden-based rotations selection.
• Smart cordials usage.
• Smart food and manuals usage.

There are already lots of accepted feature requests that will be implemented as addional modules for Scenario Engine.
But first, please try creating scenarios with the current toolkit.
And please give us your feedback!

Additional Features

Scenario Engine is the main theme of this release.
But it is worth noting there are some minor adjustments and improvements to existing features as well.

To avoid distracting your attention too much, we’ll just name a few.

• General: Gathering presets are implemented. Now you can select grid and gathering rotation in a single click.
• General: Crafting Solver presets are implemented. Two presets are created by default: ‘recommended’ and ‘fastest’.
• General: Scenarios are added to Import / Export.
• General: Feast Hellhound mounts are supported.
• General: Mount roulettes are supported.

• Gathering: Error recognition is implemented. If you run out of inventory space during gathering, Miqobot will automatically stop.
• Gathering: Aetherial reduction is implemented. It’s a scenario function startAetherialReduction().

• Crafting: Automatic selection of NQ/HQ materials is implemented.
• Crafting: ‘Max’ count is implemented. When specified, Miqobot will craft as many items as possible.

• MGP Minigames: Navigation is improved. Miqobot will no longer run through center of the room, but instead use an integrated grid.
  (If it’s still not enough for you, you can create custom randomized routes with Scenario Engine.)

This looks awesome thanks so much for all of your hard work!

[AiKeymaster]

This is really nice news, thank you! Time to try scenarios ^^

[anatacerenityParticipant]

Thanks ! Seems difficult xD

[IceDeathTKParticipant]

As a fellow programmer, this is awesome! Will definitely be writing up some custom scenarios. Great work!

Fantastic, thank you so much! A question, though, since I don’t see it on the list (or I missed it); can we also set it up to buy from NPCs? (for desynthing grinds)

[seeshivParticipant]

Looks interesting! Can we teleport to set coordinates?

It would be also cool to setup a keybind to quickly teleport to anywhere on the map?

Not at the moment, this is one of the next functions in our todo list 🙂
We apologize for inconvenience.

No, only to attuned aetherytes. Teleporting to coordinates is a hack and we will never implement hacks 🙂
You can however navigate to any specific coordinates.

You are actually able to buy from NPCs using key commands for example

key(num12) //select the closest NPC
key(num0) //activate the npc
key(num2) //scroll down through npc until you find the item repeat as needed
key(num0) //buy the item
key(esc) //close out of menus
desynth

The idea is that you can treat it as you would if you use a controller. Because vendor items don’t change order this should be safe to use over and over again.

Happy times. This gives us sooo much power now to come up with custom scenarios.

Yes, you are right.
This is the idea behind sendKey() and sendIcon() functions. The only flaw is that you can’t move mouse too much, or some keys will miss. And that’s why we are planning to implement more robust functions which will constantly receive feedback from the game and verify every step.

But of course, you have the absolute right to use your imagination to create new ways and new activities. And we will be supporting your ideas by enhancing and polishing tools at your disposal 🙂

Thank you for your feedback very much!

[AnonUserParticipant]

Thank you Miqobot! Very excited!

@exarchcoercer That’s awesome thanks!

Here is a breakdown of a scenario that I’m working on… As this is the Gold Saucer event, it seems timely!

Go into Gold Saucer…
Teleport to minion square,
Move over by the mini games (I always start at a specific machine, I’m a miqo of habit!)
Use an item “Gold Saucer VIP Card” (Do this with a hot bar button press)
Start playing the games!
Now wait till 44 minutes after the hour real time (I see a few options to do this… not sure which one works best yet)
Navigate to the tele crystal in minion square
Teleport to event square,
navigate to GATE NPC, and talk to them

Now here is where things get tricky….
If it is “Typhoon”… I want to join the gate! ExarchCoercer’s method works for selecting options, and I can use the navigation to get to the spot I want and wait for the gate to end…

How do I get MiqoBot to detect if its going to be the Typhoon GATE? I want to just go back to minigames if it turns out to be one of the other gates. (I suck at that dancing one)

Anyone have any thoughts?
