AFCleric.mac - Cleric automation macro (updated Aug 24th)

As for CR: I have all the CR's maxed: Basic, PoP upgrade, Gates upgrade and Omens upgrade. So whatever is in the code should work for me. But after Div Arb it's been using my group heal. Which is fine. IMO in a place like RS or MPG CR or any other HoT doesn't cut it except as backup or secondary healing.

Dunno, I've surveyed quite a few clerics, and they all blow CR after DVA. Even if you group/pad on top of it, it's a guarenteed heal within 6 seconds of DVA landing, and it "self-pads" if the tank was taking extreme damage or whatever that caused you to DVA in the first place.

I've also talked to quite a few that just hit DVA the instant the button pops up if the tank's taken any damage whatsoever, claiming it improves efficency...going to play around with both.

With this macro tho, I've played for hours straight without having to do anything other than sit now and then and move around to follow the group from camp to camp. And it has performed flawlessly.

It really is a fine piece of work. I hope my small changes improve it/do it justice.

Div Arb does improve efficiency tremedously. It's a no agro CH to the tank every 3 minutes basicly.

I have to look into why my CR never fires. I'm going to see if the code is calling the right AA skills and will adjust accordingly.

Tonight we're in Time so the macro is going to get a workout in P1, 2 and 3.

/applause Cr4zyb4rd, and others, on the ideas and code snippets for this macro. The divine arbitration code to go into the CheckHP sub was an excellent idea, I love it.
I changed it only slightly (added a check to make sure the target triggerring the DA cast is in group)
I'm sure there are some more refinements to improve the logic, such as interrupting a cast on the MT to heal a groupmember with critical health. For now however, that small code snippet is enough to warrant a new posting. I've also written a little documentation to help people get it set up.
Haven't done anything with ini support though... I hope to get around to it eventually, at least so that it can store the variables and initialize those when the macro starts, so people can store different configs and not have to edit the actual macro.
Here t is. Will move it to page one once a couple others test it and give the OK, in case I have a fatal typo in there someplace. (working well for me so far)
P.S. I also updated the buffbeg routine, and trickyda routines to accommodate the new buff spells released in oow. Some other minor tweaks also.

AFCleric Documentation:

Code: Select all

|**----------------------------------------------------------
AFCleric.mac

Run the macro with Main Tank targeted.   
   Usage: /mac AFCleric <%health> <Heal spell>
   Defaults to casting Complete Healing at 60%

This Cleric macro operates in 4 modes:

   autohealmode=0 will watch a single target's health
   relentlessly. The cleric will not heal self or group, only
   the specified Tankname at the specified %health.
   If the Tank takes dmg fast enough that HP is less than 70%
   of the specified %health, the patchspell will be cast.
   The Tank does not need to be in your group.
   
   autohealmode=1 will watch Tank as above, but also heal
   self and even attempt to cast DA if self HP get too low.
   
   autohealmode=2 will watch Tank, self, and also the rest of
   the group. Heals will go first to the person in group with
   lowest HP percentage. Healtypes for people other than Tank
   and self will be based on Class and HP percentage.
   
   autohealmode=3 is exactly the same as mode 2, except that
   Tank HP and self HP are double checked immediately before
   healing anyone else. If Tank or self HP are low enough to
   justify a heal, they get it first even if other group
   members have lower HP. IE: it tries not to let Tank or
   self die while healing that overnuking wizard. =)

----------------------------------------------------------**|

Configuration of this program is important. If you run this "out of the box" it may work for you, but will work better for you if you read over the declares in the beginning carefully and make adjustments for your cleric in your environment. Setting something to 0 turns it off, 1 turns on. A couple things can be set to various modes like healmode and autosit.

|Examples:
   /declare mychannel string outer mychannel
|as is, will make you autojoin "mychannel." BE SURE TO CHANGE THAT.
   /declare autohealmode int outer 3
|SEE ABOVE, THIS IS KEY
   /declare healspell string outer Complete Healing
|Primary healspell to be cast on the main tank
   /declare healspellrange int outer 100
|Range of primary heal spell
   /declare patchheal string outer Pious Light
|Patch heal spell. Could be remedy or a light spell, usually
   /declare patchhealrange int outer 100
|Patch heal spell range
   /declare hotspell string outer Pious Elixir
|HoT spell of choice, will be cast only on casters and druids, unless requested via chat command.
   /declare hotspellrange int outer 100
|HoT spell range
   /declare daspell string outer Divine Barrier
|Divine aura spell of choice
   /declare yaulpspell string outer Yaulp VI
|Yaulp of choice. Will only be cast if spell is memmed and clr is standing. Recommend autosit mode 0 if you like using yaulp
   /declare usegroupheal int outer 1 
|Toggles use of group heals
   /declare groupheal string outer Word of Replenishment 
|Group heal of choice
   /declare grouphealrange int outer 70
|Group heal spell range
   /declare usedivarb int outer 1
|Toggles divine arbitration usage
   /declare healafterdivarb int outer 0 
|Selecting 1 will always cast group heal spell after a div arb. Careful with this one if not grouped with the main tank
   /declare announce int outer 1
|Toggles annouuncing to group. WHEN GROUPED WITH UNTRUSTED PEOPLE, SET IT TO 0 SO YOUR NOT OBVIOUS ABOUT RUNNING A MACRO
   /declare autosit int outer 1
|3 Modes: 0,1,2:
|autosit=0 never sits automatically, allows manual control
|autosit=1 will sit between heals only if no mobs are within (atack range + distancetosit). When any mob comes within (attack range + (distancetosit / 3)) it will stand.
|autosit=2 will always sit between heals if nobody is hurt.
|TIP: make a hotkey in game to toggle autosit mode so you dont autosit while trying to move: </varset autosit 0> will work from in game.
   /declare distancetosit int outer 40
|See above. Adjust distancetosit up or down if needed depending on the zone, etc.
   /declare autointerrupt int outer 1
|Toggles automatically interrupting spells. Setting to 0 isn't recommended except for spamming a tank on a raid, etc
   /declare onlyhealfd int outer 1
|Set to 1 to prevent healing monks and necros while standing. Helps prevent messing up a pull and training the group
   /declare interrupt2healself int outer 1
|Toggles interrupting heals on others to heal yourself
   /declare interrupt2healselfhp int outer 50
|How low your HP can go before heals on others will get interrupted to heal self
   /declare noInvis int outer 1
|Setting this to 1 will prevent you from breaking invis to cast a spell
   /declare defaultstophealpoint int outer 80
|If target HP go above this level, you will duck heal (if autointerrupt is enabled)
   /declare acbuff string outer Ward of Valiance
|AC buff of choice
   /declare longhpbuff string outer Conviction
|Temp, Virtue, Conviction
   /declare singlesymbuff string outer Symbol of Balikor
|Single target symbol spell
   /declare groupsymbuff string outer NULL
|Group sym spell. Set to NULL will make the group buff routine use a single target sym spell on everyone
   /declare spellhastebuff string outer Blessing of Reverence
|Single target spell haste. Careful with group spell haste here, would cast repeatedly single in group buff routine. Will use ornate BP if you have one
   /declare rgcspell string outer Remove Greater Curse
|Remove curse spell

|2=heal pets as long as MT and group are all above their specified healpoints
   /declare pethealpoint int outer 65
|Threshold for pet heals
   /declare manatohealpet int outer 25
|Must have at least this much mana to consider healing a pet
   /declare pethealspell string outer Complete Healing

Mislaid some of your code brackets there Fantum

And the macro:
Transplanted to the front page of this thread. Page 1 version current as of now~

Enjoy

Maybe I'm remembering something from EQ2, but I thought they added in a spell interupt command other then ducking.

fantum409 · Post by **fantum409** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 5:19 pm

they did but not sure it works when mounted. and there is a recast delay imposed, whereas a spell interrupted by ducking does not impose that delay.
Anyhow, the Interrupt routine is actually a part of spell_routines.inc by rusty~. I would hope that EQ would properly implement the /stopcast command some day, then that inc file could be simplified considerably.

Ah, I didn't know about the recast delay, thanks for the explanation.

Uqua raid tonight.

Will give it a workout snd let you know how it does :)

Cr4zyb4rd · Post by **Cr4zyb4rd** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 7:28 pm

I've got my "dps parsing" version working to the point where it doesn't even use a heal %, but bases everything upon incoming damage and expected tank time-to-live. This frees up a lot more time for sitting, buffing, watching the health of group members, and so on over the one I posted here earlier. I'm going to make a few more refinements and probably post it under a new thread calling it compu-cleric or something, so-as not to detract from fantum's excellent work. I'm still just playing around, and my version just "feels risky" the whole time it's running, whereas fantum's afcleric is rock-solid.

Clueless_Coder · Post by **Clueless_Coder** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 8:05 am

I've got em both working very well atm

Named Cr4zy's differently from Fantum's and created hot keys for each one.

They both work rock solid actually but because of the differences in approach are best suited for different situations. After hours of using both new versions I've never had either fail yet and they've both kept the tank and rest of the group alive under strenuous testing (Ok.. I lied... I did lose one over agroing wizzie the otehr night but truth to tell he deserved to die)

Great work, both of you. Thanks for 2 great macros.

.

Just for that reason i actually commented out wizards/mages/rangers in my guild that do that continuasly

I've warned people if you not supposed to get agro you wont get healed if you do., since each time that has happened my cleric was next for overhealing ;P

Works great, cleric deaths down to minimum, other peoples deaths up by 10 but got compliments from guildies for teaching people good agro management )

I would definately be interested in that.

Still working on it, patch day threw a monkey-wrench into a lot of my side projects.
