Chocobo Racing Request

[FTAC_14Participant]

I have been using the choco racing portion of the bot and there are a couple of features I think would be very nice if they are not already on your radar.

1) Ability use timing: I think this was mentioned in another post, but it would be nice if the bot was a little smarter on ability usage. For example: My choco has Choco Cure II. It get’s used immediately on race start when I already have 100% stamina. Not helpful. It would be awesome if it would at least wait a few seconds before using it or use it at a specific time during the race. It seems like the bot saves keystrokes, so I would imagine that saving the number key wouldn’t be too hard.

2) Auto switching race classes. I have waypoints set up for each class on a specific track. I typically go AFK when I run the bot (I am sure we all do, else what’s the piont? lol) I run into problems when the class changes. Eg: R-140 to R-160. Since the tracks can vary quite a bit as far as obstacles go, one set of waypoints could be totally useless for another class. Would it be possible to have the bot auto switch to the appropriate waypoint when the class changes? One way of accomplishing this would be to give each set of waypoints properties that the user has to set when creating them. So in addition to giving it a name, you could set what track it belongs to and also what class. Since there are a set number of classes, I would think this would be pretty easy. I don’t know how easy it is to read the pop up messages, but you could read the chat log for what class was chosen. If the class changes, have the bot auto switch to the respective class. I think this is my most desired feature.

I think I had something else, but it is escaping me at the moment. Thanks for all your hard work!

I vote for timing abilities. that one would be very nice.
But Im not so sure about switching race classes. For me the default R60 Miqo waypoints worked pretty well up to R100. And when I made R120 preset it took me all the way to R160 without breaking a sweat. I posted my waypoints in another thread so feel free to try them out. I see your point that not having an auto-switch makes you come back from AFK often to switch manually. But then Id also ask for a multi selection auto-switch and Im afraid we would end up with something very confusing and hard to setup. Lets hear the devs response of course but imo making a universal preset seems more reasonable.

Accepted 🙂

1. Ability Timing is already prepared for release.
2. For Auto Switching, we would have to do some additional research and design a method to store additional properties for each waypoints. And we shall also need a UI to fill those properties in. We’ll try to implement it in a way that’s easy to setup as well. It might take a while, but we’ll do our best.

Thank you for the request!

Awesome! Thanks for listening!

I saw your waypoints, I did try them but ended up making my own. I have an R-300 for Sagoli Rd that is pretty good. I get 1-3rd pretty regularly with my P-9. I don’t think it would be too complicated for the request. At least not the way I am envisioning the set up. Just two extra options to set for track and class. But, it’s out of my hands. 🙂

1. Ability Timing is implemented and available in Miqobot v1.2.4.
2. Auto Switching Classes is still under research. There seems to be no easy way to identify the class of the race currently in progress. Miqobot allows starting Chocobo Racing bot in the middle of the race, and we wouldn’t want to remove this feature.
   It might require more time to find a proper solution.

Also, have we missed a third feature request?
Do you also want an additional option for assigning track name for each waypoints?

At the moment, Miqobot stores all tracks (Sagolii Road, Costa del Sol, Tranquil Paths) within a single waypoints preset. And she selects the required track automatically.
Should this feature be altered?

I have used the new feature for the timing of the abilities. It helps a lot, thank you!

Thanks for continuing to look into the class selection. It’s not super important now that I have a max pedigree and rank chocobo but it would have been very useful when leveling up to get to pedigree 9.

I can’t remember what my other request was. When I do, I will post it. I was unaware that you could combine track waypoints into the same waypoint record. That is useful to know. It might be nice to have an indicator on which tracks are saved into a waypoint set. I suppose I could just edit the name and include a letter for each track (S C and T). I have been putting an S in mine for Sagoli road.

There is an indicator of tracks within a waypoint set, but it’s invisible.
You can identify what tracks you have by following these steps:

1. Select a waypoints preset in question.
2. Select a track in question.
3. Press Start.

• If there is no track in the selected waypoints preset, you will see a warning Message box about this.
• If there is a track already, you will see no Message box, and Miqobot will try to look for Chocobo Race NPC. Press Stop right after that to prevent her from doing anything weird.

This check can be easily performed in any location, no need to go to Chocobo Square.

And you can also use letters S C T as additional, more visible indicator, of course 🙂
