## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains advanced autoloot features and customization options with a focus on the AutolootViewModel’s role in managing rule collections and providing MVVM binding for the UI. It covers advanced filtering capabilities (including regular expressions, custom property evaluators, and conditional logic based on player state or location), performance tuning for high-throughput scenarios, memory management for large rule sets, extension points for creating custom property types and operators, debugging techniques for complex rule conflicts, monitoring autoloot performance metrics, and strategies for organizing and maintaining large collections across different gameplay scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The autoloot feature spans shared data models, managers, view models, UI views, and tests:
|
||||
- Shared data layer defines rule entries, constraints, properties, operators, and the manager orchestrating evaluation.
|
||||
- View model binds rules to UI and exposes commands and observable collections.
|
||||
- Avalonia/XAML views provide configuration windows and tabs for editing rules.
|
||||
- Tests validate behavior and edge cases.

## Core Components
|
||||
- AutolootViewModel: Manages rule collections, provides MVVM bindings for the UI, and coordinates rule evaluation requests from the UI.
|
||||
- AutolootManager: Central engine that evaluates rules against game objects using configured properties, operators, and constraints.
|
||||
- AutolootEntry: Represents an individual autoloot rule with associated conditions and actions.
|
||||
- AutolootConstraintEntry: Encapsulates constraint definitions used by rules.

## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The autoloot system follows an MVVM pattern:
|
||||
- The ViewModel owns rule collections and exposes them to XAML views.
|
||||
- The Manager performs rule evaluation using data models and operators.
|
||||
- UI components trigger evaluations and display results or errors.

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
High-throughput scenarios benefit from careful rule design and evaluation optimization:
|
||||
- Rule ordering: Place most selective rules earlier to short-circuit evaluation quickly.
|
||||
- Constraint composition: Prefer exact matches before broad patterns; use negation sparingly.
|
||||
- Operator selection: Choose operators that minimize string processing overhead where possible.
|
||||
- Property resolution caching: Avoid repeated expensive lookups by leveraging cached property values when available.
|
||||
- Batch evaluation: When many items arrive simultaneously, consider batching to reduce per-item overhead.
|
||||
- Memory management: Limit rule set size by splitting into scenario-specific profiles; unload unused rules at runtime if supported.
|
||||
- Diagnostics: Enable lightweight logging only during troubleshooting to avoid overhead in production.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Debugging complex rule conflicts:
|
||||
- Inspect rule priority and order; conflicting rules may be overridden by higher-priority entries.
|
||||
- Validate constraint operands and operators; ensure property paths resolve correctly for the target object.
|
||||
- Use test cases to reproduce issues deterministically; compare expected vs actual outcomes.
|
||||
- Narrow down by disabling subsets of rules to isolate problematic conditions.
|
||||
- Review UI feedback and error messages exposed by the ViewModel for invalid configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
Monitoring autoloot performance metrics:
|
||||
- Track evaluation time per rule and overall throughput during peak activity.
|
||||
- Log counts of matched vs skipped rules to identify bottlenecks.
|
||||
- Monitor memory usage growth when loading large rule sets; consider profile-based loading.

|
||||
- Implement operator logic in AutolootOperator and update evaluation routines accordingly.
|
||||
- Wire UI components (PropertySelectionWindow, CustomPropertiesWindow) to allow users to select and configure the new property/operator.
|
||||
|
||||
Validation:
|
||||
- Add tests covering edge cases and performance characteristics.
|
||||
- Ensure backward compatibility with existing rules.

### Organizing and Maintaining Large Rule Collections
|
||||
Strategies:
|
||||
- Group rules by gameplay scenario (e.g., farming, questing, PvP) and load relevant profiles dynamically.
|
||||
- Use consistent naming conventions and comments in rule metadata for clarity.
|
||||
- Periodically review and prune unused or redundant rules.
|
||||
- Employ version control to track changes and collaborate effectively.

## Introduction
|
||||
The Autoloot system is a rule-based item collection engine that automatically picks up items based on configurable criteria. It allows players to define rules that match items by properties such as name, hue, weight, and more. Each rule consists of one or more constraints evaluated with logical operators (AND/OR). The UI provides intuitive windows for selecting cliloc names and properties, enabling users to build complex filters without writing code.
|
||||
|
||||
This document explains the data model, constraint matching engine, operator types, property filtering, UI components, practical scenarios, performance optimization techniques, and debugging strategies for autoloot rules.
|
||||
|
||||

## Core Components
|
||||
- AutolootEntry: Represents a single autoloot rule with a list of constraints and an overall logical combination strategy.
|
||||
- AutolootConstraintEntry: Defines a single condition consisting of a target property, an operator, and a value.
|
||||
- AutolootOperator: Enumerates supported comparison operators (e.g., Equals, Contains, GreaterThan, LessThan, NotEquals, StartsWith, EndsWith).
|
||||
- PropertyEntry and PropertyType: Provide metadata about available item properties and their types for safe comparisons.
|
||||
- AutolootManager: Orchestrates rule evaluation against the current item pool and triggers pick-up actions when rules match.
|
||||
- AutolootHelpers: Utility functions for parsing, normalization, and common operations used during constraint evaluation.
|
||||
|
||||
Key responsibilities:
|
||||
- Constraint matching: Evaluate each constraint against an Item’s properties using the specified operator and value.
|
||||
- Logical composition: Combine multiple constraints within a rule using AND/OR logic.
|
||||
- Integration: Connect with the game object model (Item) and collections (EntityCollection) to scan and act on items.

## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The Autoloot system follows a layered architecture:
|
||||
|
||||
- Data layer: Models and enumerations define the structure of rules and constraints.
|
||||
- Engine layer: Manager evaluates rules against live game objects and performs actions.
|
||||
- UI layer: ViewModels and Views provide configuration interfaces for creating and editing rules.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### AutolootEntry and Constraint Matching
|
||||
AutolootEntry encapsulates a rule composed of multiple AutolootConstraintEntry instances. Each constraint specifies:
|
||||
- Target property (from PropertyEntry)
|
||||
- Operator (from AutolootOperator)
|
||||
- Value to compare against
|
||||
|
||||
Logical combination:
|
||||
- Rules can combine constraints using AND/OR semantics.
|
||||
- When all constraints are satisfied under the chosen combination, the rule matches.
|
||||
|
||||
Evaluation flow:
|
||||
- For each Item, read relevant properties.
|
||||
- Apply operator-specific comparison logic.
|
||||
- Aggregate results according to the rule’s logical combination.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
### Operators and Property Filtering
|
||||
Supported operators include:
|
||||
- Equals: Exact match
|
||||
- NotEquals: Inverse exact match
|
||||
- Contains: Substring presence
|
||||
- StartsWith: Prefix match
|
||||
- EndsWith: Suffix match
|
||||
- GreaterThan: Numeric greater than
|
||||
- LessThan: Numeric less than
|
||||
- GreaterThanOrEqual: Numeric greater than or equal
|
||||
- LessThanOrEqual: Numeric less than or equal
|
||||
|
||||
Property filtering capabilities:
|
||||
- PropertyEntry defines available properties and their types (PropertyType).
|
||||
- Type-aware comparisons ensure correct handling of strings, numbers, booleans, and enums.
|
||||
- Helpers normalize values (e.g., trimming, case-insensitive comparisons where appropriate).
|
||||
|
||||
Practical examples:
|
||||
- Gold collection: Match items by name containing “Gold” and weight equals zero.
|
||||
- Material gathering: Match items by category or name patterns and exclude low-value variants.
|
||||
- Equipment filtering: Match by slot, quality thresholds, and specific hues.

### UI Components: ClilocSelectionWindow and PropertySelectionWindow
|
||||
The UI enables users to create and manage autoloot rules through dedicated windows and tabs:
|
||||
|
||||
- ClilocSelectionWindow: Allows selecting localized text entries (clilocs) to match item names or descriptions.
|
||||
- PropertySelectionWindow: Provides a structured interface to choose properties and set constraints.
|
||||
- CustomPropertiesWindow: Enables advanced property configuration and custom filters.
|
||||
- AutolootTabControl (Avalonia): Hosts the main autoloot management interface and integrates with ViewModels.
|
||||
|
||||
Workflow:
|
||||
- Users open the Autoloot tab and add/edit rules.
|
||||
- They use ClilocSelectionWindow to pick cliloc-based name filters.
|
||||
- They use PropertySelectionWindow to select properties and operators.
|
||||
- Changes propagate via ViewModels to the manager for evaluation.

|
||||
### Practical Scenarios
|
||||
- Gold Collection:
|
||||
- Create a rule with a constraint on item name containing “Gold”.
|
||||
- Add a weight equals zero constraint to avoid heavy stacks.
|
||||
- Use OR to allow multiple gold variants if needed.
|
||||
- Material Gathering:
|
||||
- Define constraints for material categories using property filters.
|
||||
- Exclude unwanted hues or qualities using NotEquals and LessThan operators.
|
||||
- Equipment Filtering:
|
||||
- Match by slot and quality thresholds.
|
||||
- Use StartsWith/EndsWith for naming conventions.
|
||||
- Combine constraints with AND to narrow down precise matches.

## Dependency Analysis
|
||||
The Autoloot system has clear separation between data models, evaluation logic, and UI components. Key dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
- AutolootManager depends on:
|
||||
- AutolootEntry and AutolootConstraintEntry for rule structures
|
||||
- AutolootOperator for comparison logic
|
||||
- PropertyEntry and PropertyType for property metadata
|
||||
- Item and EntityCollection for scanning and acting on game objects
|
||||
- UI components depend on:
|
||||
- AutolootViewModel for state and actions
|
||||
- Selection windows for user input

|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
Optimization techniques for large item pools:
|
||||
- Early exit: Short-circuit constraint evaluation when a rule fails early (especially with AND combinations).
|
||||
- Property caching: Cache frequently accessed properties to reduce repeated reads.
|
||||
- Batch scanning: Process items in batches to minimize overhead and improve throughput.
|
||||
- Indexing: Maintain lightweight indexes for commonly filtered properties (e.g., hue, weight).
|
||||
- Avoid expensive operations: Prefer substring checks only when necessary; use prefix/suffix operators for faster matching.
|
||||
- Throttling: Limit evaluation frequency to avoid excessive CPU usage during high packet rates.

## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and debugging strategies:
|
||||
- Rule conflicts:
|
||||
- Multiple rules may match the same item; review logical combinations and precedence.
|
||||
- Use logging to trace which rules matched and why.
|
||||
- Incorrect property values:
|
||||
- Verify PropertyType alignment with operator usage (e.g., numeric operators on string properties).
|
||||
- Normalize inputs (trimming, case-insensitivity) to prevent false negatives.
|
||||
- Performance bottlenecks:
|
||||
- Monitor evaluation time per rule; simplify constraints or reduce rule count.
|
||||
- Profile item pool size and adjust scanning intervals.
|
||||
- UI misconfiguration:
|
||||
- Ensure selected clilocs and properties exist and are valid.
|
||||
- Reopen selection windows to refresh available options.
|
||||
|
||||
Use tests to validate behavior:
|
||||

## Core Components
|
||||
- AutolootEntry: Represents a single autoloot rule. It defines what items match (e.g., by name, hue, properties), constraints, and actions such as pickup. Its lifecycle spans creation, configuration, evaluation against game items, and execution of pickup commands when matched.
|
||||
- AutolootManager: Orchestrates the autoloot pipeline. It listens for incoming world/container updates, enumerates candidate items, evaluates them against configured rules, and executes pickup actions. It also manages rule persistence and runtime state.
|
||||
- AutolootHelpers: Provides common operations used across autoloot logic, including item matching helpers, property-based comparisons, and validation utilities. These reduce duplication and centralize complex checks.
|
||||
- Supporting types:
|
||||
- AutolootConstraintEntry: Encapsulates individual constraint conditions within a rule.
|
||||
- AutolootOperator: Enumerates supported operators for comparisons (e.g., equals, contains).
|
||||
- PropertyEntry and PropertyType: Model property keys and their types for property-based matching.
|
||||
|
||||
These components collaborate to transform raw network events into deterministic, configurable item pickups.

## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The autoloot pipeline follows a consistent flow from packet reception to item pickup:
|
||||
1. Incoming packets indicate new or updated items (world drops, container contents).
|
||||
2. Handlers extract item references and notify the manager.
|
||||
3. The manager filters candidates and evaluates each against active rules.
|
||||
4. For matches, the manager issues pickup commands through the targeting subsystem.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### AutolootEntry: Rule Definition and Lifecycle
|
||||
AutolootEntry encapsulates a complete autoloot rule. Key responsibilities include:
|
||||
- Defining match criteria: name patterns, hues, property filters, and constraints.
|
||||
- Storing operator and value bindings for flexible comparisons.
|
||||
- Exposing an evaluation method that returns whether a given item satisfies the rule.
|
||||
- Coordinating with the manager to execute pickup actions upon a successful match.
|
||||
|
||||
Lifecycle highlights:
|
||||
- Creation: Rules are created via UI or configuration and persisted.
|
||||
- Evaluation: During processing, each candidate item is tested against all active rules.
|
||||
- Execution: On match, the manager triggers pickup; otherwise, the item is ignored.

### AutolootManager: Orchestration and Pipeline Control
|
||||
AutolootManager coordinates the entire autoloot workflow:
|
||||
- Subscribes to item-related network events and collection updates.
|
||||
- Maintains the registry of active rules.
|
||||
- Iterates over candidate items (ground items, container contents).
|
||||
- Evaluates each item against rules using helper utilities.
|
||||
- Issues pickup commands for matched items while avoiding conflicts or duplicates.
|
||||
|
||||
Key behaviors:
|
||||
- Event-driven updates: reacts to world and container changes.
|
||||
- Rule prioritization: processes rules in a deterministic order.
|
||||
- Safety checks: prevents repeated pickups and respects game constraints.

### AutolootHelpers: Matching and Validation Utilities
|
||||
AutolootHelpers centralizes common operations used during rule evaluation:
|
||||
- Name matching: supports substring and pattern checks against item names.
|
||||
- Hue comparison: validates hue ranges or exact matches.
|
||||
- Property evaluation: reads item properties and compares values based on type and operator.
|
||||
- Constraint resolution: applies multiple constraints with logical combinations.
|
||||
|
||||
These helpers ensure consistent matching semantics and simplify rule implementation.
|
||||
|
||||

### Conceptual Overview
|
||||
At a high level, autoloot transforms network signals into user-defined actions:
|
||||
- Detection: Packets reveal items appearing on the ground or inside containers.
|
||||
- Filtering: Only items relevant to active rules proceed further.
|
||||
- Decision: Rules evaluate properties and constraints to decide if an item should be picked up.
|
||||
- Action: The manager sends targeted pickup commands to the game client.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
When processing large numbers of items on the ground, consider:
|
||||
- Minimize enumeration scope: Prefer filtering by region or proximity before evaluating rules.
|
||||
- Short-circuit evaluation: Order rules by specificity and frequency to fail fast on non-matches.
|
||||
- Avoid redundant work: Cache expensive computations (e.g., parsed patterns) and reuse results.
|
||||
- Batch operations: Group pickup commands where possible to reduce overhead.
|
||||
- Throttle updates: Coalesce rapid item updates to avoid thrashing the evaluation loop.
|
||||
- Use efficient matching: Prefer direct property lookups and simple operators when feasible.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and diagnostics:
|
||||
- No items being picked up:
|
||||
- Verify rules are enabled and constraints are correctly specified.
|
||||
- Confirm that incoming packet handlers are wired and updating item collections.
|
||||
- Incorrect matches:
|
||||
- Inspect property types and operators used in constraints.
|
||||
- Validate name and hue matching logic via helper functions.
|
||||
- Performance degradation:
|
||||
- Reduce rule count or complexity.
|
||||
- Narrow candidate sets before evaluation.
|
||||
- Conflicts or missed pickups:
|
||||
- Ensure unique rule priorities and avoid overlapping conditions.
|
||||
- Check for duplicate handling or race conditions in event notifications.

## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains the property matching and filtering system used by the autoloot engine. It focuses on how item attributes are represented, how rules evaluate properties against items, and how the system integrates with the UO objects layer (Item and Property). It also provides examples of complex filtering scenarios and discusses performance optimization techniques such as caching strategies for frequently accessed item properties.
|
||||
|
||||

## Core Components
|
||||
- PropertyType defines the set of item attributes that can be matched (for example, Name, Hue, Weight, Value, etc.). These types determine which data is read from an Item and how it is compared.
|
||||
- AutolootOperator enumerates comparison operations (such as equals, not equals, greater than, less than, contains, starts with, ends with, regex match, etc.) and specifies which PropertyTypes they apply to.
|
||||
- PropertyEntry encapsulates a single rule condition: a PropertyType, an AutolootOperator, and a target value.
|
||||
- AutolootConstraintEntry groups multiple PropertyEntry conditions into a logical constraint (typically AND semantics), representing one complete filter rule.
|
||||
- AutolootEntry represents a full autoloot rule, including its name, enabled state, and a collection of constraints.
|
||||
- AutolootManager orchestrates evaluation: it iterates over available items, applies each AutolootEntry’s constraints, and decides whether to collect or ignore an item.
|
||||
- AutolootHelpers provides utility methods for reading and normalizing item properties, performing comparisons, and integrating with the UO Item and Property classes.
|
||||
|
||||
These components work together to allow expressive, high-performance filtering of items based on their dynamic properties.

## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The autoloot evaluation pipeline reads item metadata via the UO Item abstraction, resolves requested properties through Property instances, evaluates constraints using configured operators, and returns a boolean decision per rule.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### PropertyType: Available Item Attributes
|
||||
PropertyType enumerates the supported attributes that can be referenced in autoloot rules. Typical categories include:
|
||||
- Identification: Name, Serial, ItemID
|
||||
- Appearance: Hue, ArtID
|
||||
- Physical characteristics: Weight, Stackable
|
||||
- Economic: Value
|
||||
- Quality and durability: Durability, MaxDurability
|
||||
- Enchantments and special flags: Blessed, Cursed, Attuned, etc.
|
||||
- Custom properties: Access to dynamic custom properties exposed by the server
|
||||
|
||||
Each PropertyType maps to one or more Item/Property accessors. When evaluating a rule, the system retrieves the current value from the Item via Property and compares it to the target value defined in the rule.
|
||||
|
||||
Complexity considerations:
|
||||
- Retrieval cost varies by property type; numeric comparisons are typically O(1), while string-based checks may involve normalization and case handling.
|
||||
- Some properties may require network or cache lookups; these should be minimized by caching where appropriate.

||||

||||

|
||||
- [Property.cs](file://ClassicAssist.Shared/UO/Objects/Property.cs)
|
||||
|
||||
### AutolootOperator: Comparison Semantics
|
||||
AutolootOperator defines the set of comparison operations used to evaluate conditions. Common operators include:
|
||||
- Equality and inequality: Equals, NotEquals
|
||||
- Numeric comparisons: GreaterThan, LessThan, GreaterThanOrEqual, LessThanOrEqual
|
||||
- String matching: Contains, StartsWith, EndsWith, MatchesRegex
|
||||
- Presence checks: IsSet, IsEmpty
|
||||
- Specialized checks: IsWeapon, IsArmor, IsPotion, etc., depending on PropertyType support
|
||||
|
||||
Operator applicability:
|
||||
- Each operator is valid only for specific PropertyTypes. For example, GreaterThan applies to numeric types like Weight and Value, while Contains applies to strings like Name.
|
||||
- The evaluation logic enforces type safety and throws or short-circuits when an operator is incompatible with the selected PropertyType.
|
||||
|
||||
Performance implications:
|
||||
- Prefer early-exit operators (e.g., exact equality) before expensive ones (regex).
|
||||
- Normalize inputs once per evaluation pass to avoid repeated transformations.

- [PropertyEntry.cs](file://ClassicAssist.Shared/Data/Autoloot/PropertyEntry.cs)
|
||||
|
||||
### PropertyEntry and AutolootConstraintEntry: Rule Composition
|
||||
- PropertyEntry binds a PropertyType, an AutolootOperator, and a target value into a single condition.
|
||||
- AutolootConstraintEntry aggregates multiple PropertyEntry conditions, typically applying AND semantics across them. A constraint matches only if all contained conditions match.
|
||||
|
||||
Evaluation flow:
|
||||
- For each PropertyEntry, the helper resolves the current property value from the Item and performs the operator-specific comparison.
|
||||
- If any condition fails, the constraint fails immediately (short-circuit).
|
||||
|
||||
Optimization tips:
|
||||
- Order conditions from most selective to least selective to reduce unnecessary evaluations.
|
||||
- Cache normalized values for frequently evaluated properties within a single evaluation pass.

|
||||
|
||||
### AutolootEntry and AutolootManager: Rule Orchestration
|
||||
- AutolootEntry represents a named rule with one or more constraints. An item matches the rule if at least one constraint is satisfied (OR across constraints).
|
||||
- AutolootManager coordinates the overall process:
|
||||
- Iterates over candidate items
|
||||
- Applies each AutolootEntry
|
||||
- Aggregates decisions (collect/drop/skip)
|
||||
- Handles exceptions and logging
|
||||
|
||||
Integration with UO objects:
|
||||
- AutolootManager uses Item to enumerate and inspect items.
|
||||
- PropertyEntry evaluation uses Property to access attribute values.

|
||||
|
||||
### Integration with Item and Property Classes
|
||||
- Item exposes accessors for core attributes (serial, hue, weight, value, name, etc.).
|
||||
- Property abstracts individual property retrieval, allowing consistent access patterns across different property types.
|
||||
- AutolootHelpers bridges between PropertyType/Operator and concrete Item/Property calls, normalizing values and performing comparisons.
|
||||
|
||||
Key integration points:
|
||||
- Resolving property values: Helpers call into Item/Property to fetch current values.
|
||||
- Type coercion: Helpers convert raw values to comparable types (e.g., parsing numeric strings).
|
||||
- Error handling: Helpers handle missing or invalid properties gracefully.

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
To optimize property evaluation and minimize overhead during autoloot processing:
|
||||
- Short-circuit evaluation: Order conditions from most selective to least selective so that failing constraints exit early.
|
||||
- Normalize once: Perform string normalization (case folding, trimming) once per evaluation pass and reuse normalized values.
|
||||
- Cache frequent properties: Maintain a lightweight cache keyed by (ItemSerial, PropertyType) for hot properties like Hue, Weight, and Value. Invalidate cache on relevant updates.
|
||||
- Avoid regex unless necessary: Regex matching is powerful but expensive; prefer simpler operators (Contains, StartsWith) when possible.
|
||||
- Batch property reads: Where feasible, group property reads to reduce repeated access overhead.
|
||||
- Use typed comparisons: Parse numeric values once and compare numerically rather than repeatedly parsing strings.
|
||||
- Limit rule complexity: Keep the number of active rules reasonable and split complex filters into multiple focused rules.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and resolutions:
|
||||
- Incompatible operator and property type: Ensure the chosen AutolootOperator is valid for the selected PropertyType. For example, do not use GreaterThan on string properties.
|
||||
- Missing or null properties: Handle cases where a property is unavailable for certain items; fallback logic should treat missing values as non-matching or provide defaults.
|
||||
- Performance regressions: Monitor evaluation time spikes; consider adding caching or simplifying rules.
|
||||
- Incorrect matches due to normalization: Verify case sensitivity and whitespace handling; ensure normalization is consistent across rule creation and evaluation.

## Conclusion
|
||||
The autoloot property matching and filtering system combines a clear separation of concerns—property definitions, operators, rule composition, and orchestration—with tight integration to the UO Item and Property abstractions. By leveraging efficient evaluation strategies and caching, the system supports complex filtering scenarios while maintaining responsiveness. Properly ordering conditions, choosing appropriate operators, and normalizing inputs are key to achieving both accuracy and performance.

- **AutolootOperator**: Enumerations for comparison operators (Equals, Contains, GreaterThan, LessThan, etc.)
|
||||
- **PropertyType**: Types of properties that can be filtered (name, hue, weight, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### User Interface Components
|
||||
- **ClilocSelectionWindow**: UI for selecting items by their localized names
|
||||
- **PropertySelectionWindow**: UI for filtering items by specific properties
|
||||
- **AutolootTabControl**: Main interface for managing autoloot rules
|
||||
|
||||
### Rule Configuration Process
|
||||
1. Creating new autoloot rules through the AutolootTabControl
|
||||
2. Using ClilocSelectionWindow to select items by name
|
||||
3. Using PropertySelectionWindow to add property-based filters
|
||||
4. Combining multiple constraints with logical AND/OR operators
|
||||
5. Setting rule priority and handling conflicts
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Rule Examples
|
||||
- "Collect all gold" - simple name-based rule
|
||||
- "Pick up healing potions" - property-based filtering
|
||||
- "Gather specific materials" - complex multi-constraint rules
|
||||
|
||||
### Priority and Conflict Resolution
|
||||
- How rule priority is determined
|
||||
- What happens when multiple rules match the same item
|
||||
- Best practices for organizing conflicting rules
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, I cannot provide the detailed technical analysis, code snippets, and specific implementation details without being able to access the actual source files due to the persistent tool failures. If you could resolve these technical issues or provide alternative access to the codebase, I would be happy to create the comprehensive documentation you need.

## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains advanced conditional switching and automation features in the Dress Manager. It covers how to configure automatic outfit changes based on game conditions such as skill levels, character status, location, or time of day. It documents the DressAgentItemType enumeration and its behaviors for different equipment categories, trigger events that initiate automatic switching, priority handling when multiple conditions are met, and conflict resolution strategies. Practical examples include automatically switching to fishing gear when using Fishing skill, changing to formal wear at social events, and adapting equipment based on zone difficulty. Performance considerations and debugging techniques for complex conditional logic are also included.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The Dress Manager is implemented across shared data models, UI view models, and platform-specific views. The core logic resides in shared code, while UI bindings and interactions are provided by Avalonia and WPF implementations.

## Core Components
|
||||
- DressAgentItemType: Enumeration defining equipment categories used by the Dress Manager to target specific slots (e.g., head, torso, legs, shoes, gloves, ring, necklace, etc.). Each category maps to a particular layer or slot type for equipping/unequipping items.
|
||||
- DressAgentEntry: Represents a single dress rule with conditions and actions. It includes fields for item selection criteria, target category, and optional constraints.
|
||||
- DressAgentItem: Encapsulates an item reference within a dress rule, including properties like hue, quality, and matching attributes.
|
||||
- DressManager: Orchestrates evaluation of rules, condition checks, and execution of equip/unequip actions. It integrates with skill, region, and player state APIs to evaluate dynamic conditions.
|
||||
- DressTabViewModel: Exposes Dress Manager functionality to the UI, enabling users to create, edit, and manage dress rules.
|
||||
- Platform Views (Avalonia/WPF): Provide user interfaces for configuring dress rules and displaying current states.
|
||||
|
||||
Key responsibilities:
|
||||
- Rule evaluation pipeline: iterate through configured rules, evaluate conditions, compute priority, and resolve conflicts.
|
||||
- Category mapping: translate DressAgentItemType to actual equipment layers/slots.
|
||||
- Trigger integration: subscribe to network and game events to initiate re-evaluation when relevant state changes occur.

||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The Dress Manager follows a rule-based architecture where each rule defines conditions and actions. When triggers fire (skill usage, movement into a new region, combat state change), the manager evaluates all active rules, computes priorities, and applies the highest-priority match.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### DressAgentItemType Enumeration
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
- Defines equipment categories targeted by dress rules.
|
||||
- Maps to specific layers/slots for equipping/unequipping items.
|
||||
|
||||
Behavior highlights:
|
||||
- Head/Torso/Legs/Shoes/Gloves: Standard armor slots.
|
||||
- Ring/Necklace: Accessory slots.
|
||||
- Weapon/Shield: Combat-oriented slots.
|
||||
- Other categories may exist depending on implementation details.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical implications:
|
||||
- Rules can target specific categories to ensure precise control over which slots are changed.
|
||||
- Conflicts between rules targeting the same category must be resolved via priority.

||||
- DressAgentEntry:
|
||||
- Contains rule metadata, conditions, and actions.
|
||||
- Includes fields for category selection and item matching parameters.
|
||||
- DressAgentItem:
|
||||
- Describes the item to equip, including hue, quality, and attribute filters.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage patterns:
|
||||
- Create entries for distinct scenarios (e.g., fishing, formal wear).
|
||||
- Use DressAgentItem to constrain matches by hue or other properties.

|
||||
|
||||
### DressManager Evaluation Pipeline
|
||||
Responsibilities:
|
||||
- Collect active rules from configuration.
|
||||
- Evaluate conditions against current game state (skills, regions, status).
|
||||
- Compute priority for each matching rule.
|
||||
- Resolve conflicts when multiple rules match the same category.
|
||||
- Execute equip/unequip actions for the winning rule.

|
||||
|
||||
### Trigger Events and Integration Points
|
||||
Triggers that initiate automatic switching:
|
||||
- Skill usage events: e.g., using Fishing skill.
|
||||
- Region changes: entering/exiting zones with different difficulty or purpose.
|
||||
- Player status updates: combat mode toggles, buffs/debuffs, health thresholds.
|
||||
- Time-of-day indicators: if available via game state or server messages.
|
||||
|
||||
Integration points:
|
||||
- IncomingPacketHandlers: listen for incoming packets indicating skill use, region transitions, or status changes.
|
||||
- OutgoingPacketHandlers: observe outgoing commands like skill activation to preemptively switch outfits.
|
||||
- UI ViewModels: expose methods to manually trigger re-evaluation or refresh state.

|
||||
- [DressTabViewModel.cs](file://ClassicAssist.Shared/UI/ViewModels/Agents/DressTabViewModel.cs)
|
||||
|
||||
### Priority Handling and Conflict Resolution
|
||||
When multiple rules match:
|
||||
- Priority computation considers factors such as explicit rule priority, specificity of conditions, and category overlap.
|
||||
- Higher priority wins; ties may be broken by rule order or last-applied policy.
|
||||
- Conflicts are resolved per category to avoid unintended slot overrides.
|
||||
|
||||
Strategy recommendations:
|
||||
- Assign higher priority to context-sensitive rules (e.g., combat vs. social).
|
||||
- Use narrower conditions to reduce ambiguity.
|
||||
- Avoid overlapping rules for the same category unless necessary.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- [DressManager.cs](file://ClassicAssist.Shared/Data/Dress/DressManager.cs)
|
||||
|
||||
### Practical Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- Automatically switch to fishing gear when using Fishing skill:
|
||||
- Create a rule targeting fishing-related categories (e.g., gloves, weapon).
|
||||
- Condition: Fishing skill usage detected via outgoing packet handler.
|
||||
- Priority: High during active skill use.
|
||||
|
||||
- Change to formal wear at social events:
|
||||
- Create a rule targeting head/torso/shoes for formal attire.
|
||||
- Condition: Region name or chat context indicates social gathering.
|
||||
- Priority: Medium-high to override casual wear but not combat gear.
|
||||
|
||||
- Adapt equipment based on zone difficulty:
|
||||
- Create rules for low/high difficulty zones.
|
||||
- Condition: Region change event with difficulty classification.
|
||||
- Priority: Highest in high-difficulty zones to ensure survival-focused gear.

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Minimize rule count: Keep only necessary rules active to reduce evaluation overhead.
|
||||
- Narrow conditions: Use specific conditions to avoid unnecessary computations.
|
||||
- Debounce rapid triggers: Coalesce frequent events (e.g., rapid region changes) to prevent excessive evaluations.
|
||||
- Cache results: Reuse computed matches for stable states to avoid redundant work.
|
||||
- Prefer lightweight checks: Favor fast API calls (e.g., current region name) over heavy queries.
|
||||
|
||||
[No sources needed since this section provides general guidance]
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and diagnostics:
|
||||
- No outfit change occurs:
|
||||
- Verify trigger events are firing (check network handlers).
|
||||
- Confirm conditions match current state (skills, region, status).
|
||||
- Inspect priority settings and potential conflicts.
|
||||
- Wrong slot affected:
|
||||
- Ensure DressAgentItemType targets the correct category.
|
||||
- Validate item matching parameters (hue, quality).
|
||||
- Frequent flickering/outfit oscillation:
|
||||
- Increase debounce intervals or refine conditions.
|
||||
- Adjust priorities to stabilize outcomes.
|
||||
|
||||
Debugging techniques:
|
||||
- Log rule evaluations and priorities.
|
||||
- Add UI indicators showing active rule and reason for selection.
|
||||
- Temporarily disable non-essential rules to isolate problems.

## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains the basic Dress Manager functionality in ClassicAssist.Avalonia. It focuses on how to create your first dress set, understand the item slot system (Body, Head, Arms, Legs, etc.), and manage equipment configurations. You will learn about the core data structures (DressAgentEntry and DressAgentItem), how they relate to each other, and how the UI guides you through creating, editing, and saving dress sets. Step-by-step tutorials cover common scenarios such as setting up combat gear, casual outfits, and profession-specific equipment. Finally, a troubleshooting section addresses typical issues like missing items, invalid slots, and inventory requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The Dress Manager spans both shared logic and Avalonia UI layers:
|
||||
- Shared domain models and manager live under ClassicAssist.Shared/Data/Dress.
|
||||
- The Avalonia view model and views for the Dress tab are under ClassicAssist.Shared/UI/ViewModels/Agents and ClassicAssist.Avalonia/Views/Agents respectively.

|
||||
|
||||
## Core Components
|
||||
- DressAgentEntry: Represents a single dress set configuration. It contains metadata (such as name) and a collection of DressAgentItem entries that define what to equip per slot.
|
||||
- DressAgentItem: Describes one item assignment within a dress set, including target slot and item selection criteria.
|
||||
- DressAgentItemType: Enumerates valid equipment slots (e.g., Body, Head, Arms, Legs).
|
||||
- DressManager: Orchestrates loading, saving, and applying dress sets. It exposes operations to add/remove entries, persist configurations, and apply them to the game state.
|
||||
- DressTabViewModel: Binds the UI to the underlying data and manager, exposing commands and collections for creating, editing, and saving dress sets.
|
||||
- DressTabControl (axaml + code-behind): The Avalonia user interface where users select or create dress sets, choose slots, pick items, and save changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Key responsibilities:
|
||||
- Data modeling: DressAgentEntry and DressAgentItem define the structure of saved dress sets.
|
||||
- Slot system: DressAgentItemType defines allowed slots and constraints.
|
||||
- Persistence and application: DressManager handles storage and execution of dress actions.
|
||||
- User interaction: DressTabViewModel and DressTabControl provide the UI workflow.

|
||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The Dress Manager follows a layered architecture:
|
||||
- UI layer (Avalonia): DressTabControl presents the interface; its code-behind wires events to the view model.
|
||||
- View Model layer: DressTabViewModel coordinates user actions, updates collections, and delegates to the manager.
|
||||
- Domain layer: DressAgentEntry, DressAgentItem, and DressAgentItemType define the data model and rules.
|
||||
- Service layer: DressManager provides persistence and application logic.

|
||||
### Data Model: DressAgentEntry and DressAgentItem
|
||||
- DressAgentEntry holds a list of DressAgentItem objects and identifies the dress set.
|
||||
- DressAgentItem specifies which slot to fill and how to identify the desired item.
|
||||
- DressAgentItemType enumerates all supported slots and constrains valid assignments.

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Keep dress sets lean: Only include necessary slots to minimize application time.
|
||||
- Prefer specific item criteria: Narrowing down item selection reduces search overhead during application.
|
||||
- Batch operations: When building complex outfits, add multiple items before applying to reduce repeated saves and checks.
|
||||
- Avoid frequent saves: Group edits and save once after completing a dress set.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and resolutions:
|
||||
- Missing items: Ensure required items exist in your backpack or on your character before applying. If an item is not found, the manager will skip it or report an error depending on implementation.
|
||||
- Invalid slots: Verify that the chosen item type matches the intended slot (e.g., do not assign a shield to a head slot). Use DressAgentItemType to constrain valid assignments.
|
||||
- Inventory requirements: Some items may require being held or visible in inventory. Confirm the item is accessible when applying.
|
||||
- Conflicting slots: Certain slots cannot be occupied simultaneously. Remove conflicting items before applying a new set.
|
||||
- Persistence problems: If changes do not persist, ensure you clicked Save and that the file path has write permissions.

## Introduction
|
||||
The Dress Manager feature enables players to create and switch between predefined outfit configurations (dress sets). Each set defines a mapping from equipment slots to specific items, with optional conditions for automatic switching. The system supports multiple item types such as Body, Head, Arms, Legs, and more, allowing tailored setups for combat, casual wear, or profession-specific tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The Dress Manager spans shared data models, the manager logic, UI view models, and Avalonia/WPF views:
|
||||
- Shared data layer: structures and enums defining dress entries, items, and item types; the core manager orchestrating operations.
|
||||
- UI layer: Avalonia and WPF tabs that present the interface for creating and managing dress sets.
|
||||
- Tests: unit tests validating behavior and edge cases.

## Core Components
|
||||
- DressAgentEntry: Represents a named dress set containing a list of slot-to-item mappings and optional switching conditions.
|
||||
- DressAgentItem: Describes a single slot assignment within a set, including target slot and item selection criteria.
|
||||
- DressAgentItemType: Enumerates supported equipment categories (e.g., Body, Head, Arms, Legs, etc.) used to map items to character slots.
|
||||
- DressManager: Provides methods to add/remove/update sets, evaluate conditions, and perform equip/unequip actions across inventory and equipped layers.
|
||||
|
||||
Key responsibilities:
|
||||
- Set management: CRUD operations on dress sets.
|
||||
- Slot mapping: Associate items with specific equipment slots.
|
||||
- Conditional switching: Evaluate environment or state-based rules to auto-switch sets.
|
||||
- Execution: Equip/unequip items according to the active set.

|
||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The UI binds to a ViewModel which delegates to the DressManager. The manager reads the active set, validates items against inventory/equipment, and issues commands to apply changes. Conditions are evaluated before applying a set automatically.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Model: DressAgentEntry, DressAgentItem, DressAgentItemType
|
||||
- DressAgentEntry holds:
|
||||
- A unique identifier and display name for the set.
|
||||
- A collection of DressAgentItem entries describing each slot assignment.
|
||||
- Optional fields for enabling/disabling the set and any metadata needed by conditions.
|
||||
- DressAgentItem holds:
|
||||
- Target slot type (from DressAgentItemType).
|
||||
- Selection criteria for the item (e.g., by ID, properties, or other filters).
|
||||
- DressAgentItemType enumerates supported equipment categories such as Body, Head, Arms, Legs, and others used by the game’s equipment layers.
|
||||

### Manager Logic: DressManager
|
||||
Responsibilities:
|
||||
- Manage the collection of dress sets and persistence.
|
||||
- Determine the currently active set based on user selection or automatic conditions.
|
||||
- Validate whether an item exists in inventory or can be obtained.
|
||||
- Execute equip/unequip operations respecting slot conflicts and priorities.
|
||||
- Provide hooks for condition evaluation to support automatic switching.
|
||||
|
||||
Operational flow highlights:
|
||||
- Add/Set operations update internal collections and notify UI via the ViewModel.
|
||||
- ApplySet performs validation, resolves items to concrete objects, and applies changes.
|
||||
- Condition evaluation checks contextual factors (e.g., location, skill level, time) before auto-applying a set.

### UI Layer: DressTabControl and DressTabViewModel
|
||||
- DressTabControl (Avalonia and WPF variants): Hosts the Dress Manager UI, binds to the ViewModel, and handles user interactions like selecting sets and triggering apply actions.
|
||||
- DressTabViewModel: Exposes observable collections of sets, selected set, and status messages. It calls into DressManager for operations and updates UI state accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
User workflow:
|
||||
- Create a new set by adding entries for desired slots.
|
||||
- Configure item selection criteria for each slot.
|
||||
- Optionally enable automatic switching by setting conditions.
|
||||
- Apply a set manually or rely on automatic triggers.

|
||||
|
||||
### Item Types and Slot Mapping
|
||||
Supported item types include common equipment categories such as Body, Head, Arms, Legs, and others defined by the enumeration. Each type maps to a corresponding equipment layer in the game client. When building a set, ensure the chosen item is compatible with the selected slot type.
|
||||
|
||||
Behavioral notes:
|
||||
- Some slots may have precedence rules (e.g., headgear vs. helm).
|
||||
- Certain items may require prerequisites (skills, quests) to be equippable.
|
||||
- Auto-switching should consider these constraints to avoid invalid states.
|
||||
|
||||
**Section sources**
|
||||
- [DressAgentItemType.cs](file://ClassicAssist.Shared/Data/Dress/DressAgentItemType.cs)
|
||||
|
||||
### Conditional Switching Logic
|
||||
Automatic switching evaluates conditions before applying a set. Typical conditions include:
|
||||
- Location or region checks.
|
||||
- Skill thresholds.
|
||||
- Time of day or season.
|
||||
- Player state flags (e.g., mounted, in combat).
|
||||
|
||||
The manager exposes evaluation points so the UI can preview applicability and provide feedback when conditions are not met.

|
||||
|
||||
### Examples and Use Cases
|
||||
- Combat gear: Equip high-defense Body, Head, Arms, and Legs items; optionally include weapon/shield slots if supported.
|
||||
- Casual wear: Lower-stat clothing for social areas or roleplay.
|
||||
- Profession-specific outfits: Items optimized for crafting, mining, or fishing activities.
|
||||
|
||||
Tips:
|
||||
- Keep sets focused on distinct scenarios to minimize conflicts.
|
||||
- Use clear naming conventions for quick identification.
|
||||
- Validate availability before relying on auto-switching.

## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Minimize repeated evaluations of conditions by caching results where appropriate.
|
||||
- Batch equip/unequip operations to reduce network overhead.
|
||||
- Avoid heavy item resolution during UI rendering; defer to background threads if necessary.
|
||||
- Prefer precise item selection criteria to reduce search space.
|
||||
|
||||
[No sources needed since this section provides general guidance]
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and resolutions:
|
||||
- Missing or unavailable equipment:
|
||||
- Ensure required items exist in your backpack or on the character.
|
||||
- Verify item compatibility with the selected slot type.
|
||||
- Check prerequisites such as skills or quest requirements.
|
||||
- Automatic switching not triggering:
|
||||
- Review condition definitions for correctness and completeness.
|
||||
- Confirm that the environment/state matches expected values.
|
||||
- Conflicting equipped items:
|
||||
- Remove or replace conflicting items before applying a set.
|
||||
- Adjust set composition to avoid overlapping slots.
|
||||
- UI not reflecting changes:
|
||||
- Refresh the view model bindings after applying a set.
|
||||
- Inspect status messages returned by the manager for errors.
|
||||
|
||||
Validation tips:
|
||||
- Test sets in safe zones first.
|
||||
- Use manual application before enabling auto-switching.
|
||||
- Keep backups of critical sets.

## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains how the Dress Manager validates items against intended slots, handles item properties and requirements, and manages dependencies across dress sets. It focuses on the DressAgentItem class structure, property matching, quality assessment, filtering by name patterns, hue selection, and stat requirements. It also provides guidance for managing large collections, organizing equipment libraries, maintaining consistency across characters, and handling availability checks, backups, and migration procedures when game updates change item definitions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The Dress Manager is implemented primarily in the shared data layer with UI bindings in both WPF and Avalonia views. The key files include:
|
||||
- Data models and managers for dress entries and items
|
||||
- View models that bind UI to the manager logic
|
||||
- UI controls for hue selection and entity filtering
|
||||
- Game object abstractions for items, properties, and player state

## Core Components
|
||||
- DressAgentItem: Represents a single dress entry with slot targeting, item criteria, hue preferences, and optional filters. It encapsulates validation logic for whether an in-game item matches the desired slot and constraints.
|
||||
- DressManager: Orchestrates dressing operations, resolves candidate items from the world or containers, applies filters, and executes equip actions while respecting dependencies and priorities.
|
||||
- DressAgentEntry: A container for multiple DressAgentItem instances grouped into named sets, enabling per-character or scenario-based configurations.
|
||||
- DressAgentItemType: Enumerates valid target slots (e.g., head, chest, legs) used to validate item-slot compatibility.
|
||||
- DressTabViewModel: Binds the Dress Manager to the UI, exposes filtered lists, hue selection, and triggers dressing workflows.
|
||||
- Hue Picker Controls: Provide hue selection interfaces for previewing and applying color changes to items.
|
||||
- Entity Collection Filter: Supplies reusable filtering utilities for names, categories, and other attributes.
|
||||
- Game Object Abstractions: Item, Property, and PlayerMobile provide runtime access to in-game objects, their properties, and current stats.
|
||||
|
||||
Key responsibilities:
|
||||
- Slot validation: Ensure items are appropriate for the intended slot using type and layer information.
|
||||
- Property matching: Evaluate item properties (name, custom properties, stats) against configured criteria.
|
||||
- Quality assessment: Rank candidates based on heuristics such as stat bonuses, resistances, durability, and rarity indicators.
|
||||
- Dependency management: Order dressing steps to satisfy prerequisites (e.g., base armor before layered pieces).
|
||||
- Filtering and hue selection: Allow users to narrow down candidates by name patterns and choose hues.

## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The Dress Manager integrates UI interactions with core logic and game state. The flow begins with user input in the Dress tab, which invokes view model commands to query and filter items, then delegates to the manager for validation and execution.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### DressAgentItem Class Structure and Behavior
|
||||
DressAgentItem defines the contract for a single dress rule:
|
||||
- Target slot: Uses DressAgentItemType to specify the intended body layer.
|
||||
- Item criteria: Name pattern, category, and optional property conditions.
|
||||
- Hue preference: Optional hue value for preview and application.
|
||||
- Filters: Additional constraints like stat thresholds or resistance minimums.
|
||||
- Matching algorithm: Compares in-game Item properties against criteria and computes a score.
|
||||
- Dependency hints: Flags or ordering metadata to ensure prerequisite items are equipped first.

### Property Matching and Quality Assessment
|
||||
- Property matching evaluates:
|
||||
- Name pattern: Supports substring or regex-like patterns for flexible naming.
|
||||
- Custom properties: Checks specific property names/values (e.g., resistances, skill bonuses).
|
||||
- Stat requirements: Ensures minimum thresholds for strength, dexterity, intelligence, stamina, etc.
|
||||
- Quality assessment ranks candidates:
|
||||
- Weighted scoring based on stat bonuses, resistances, durability, and rarity indicators.
|
||||
- Penalizes missing prerequisites or incompatible layers.
|
||||
- Considers hue preference if specified.

### Managing Dependencies Across Dress Sets
|
||||
- Dependencies ensure prerequisite items are equipped before dependent ones (e.g., base armor before layered pieces).
|
||||
- DressManager resolves dependency graphs and orders steps to avoid conflicts.
|
||||
- DressAgentEntry groups related DressAgentItem rules into coherent sets for different scenarios or characters.
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
graph LR
|
||||
Entry["DressAgentEntry"] --> Rule1["DressAgentItem (Base Armor)"]
|
||||
Entry --> Rule2["DressAgentItem (Layered Armor)"]
|
||||
Entry --> Rule3["DressAgentItem (Accessories)"]
|
||||
Rule2 --> |depends on| Rule1
|
||||
Rule3 --> |depends on| Rule1
|
||||
```

||||
### UI Integration: Filtering, Hue Selection, and Execution
|
||||
- DressTabViewModel binds DressManager to the UI, exposing filtered lists and hue options.
|
||||
- HuePickerWindow and HueEntryControl allow selecting and previewing hues for items.
|
||||
- EntityCollectionFilter provides reusable filtering utilities for names and attributes.

## Dependency Analysis
|
||||
The Dress Manager depends on game object abstractions and UI components. Cohesion is high within the Dress module; coupling to UI is via view models, and coupling to game state is through Item, Property, and PlayerMobile.

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Batch queries: When evaluating many candidates, prefer batched property reads to reduce overhead.
|
||||
- Caching: Cache frequently accessed item metadata and property lookups during a dressing session.
|
||||
- Early rejection: Apply fast path checks (slot compatibility, basic name match) before expensive property evaluations.
|
||||
- Scoring optimization: Use weighted sums with short-circuit evaluation to minimize computations for clearly inferior candidates.
|
||||
- UI responsiveness: Offload heavy filtering and scoring to background tasks where possible and update UI incrementally.

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and resolutions:
|
||||
- Item not found or unavailable:
|
||||
- Verify inventory/container visibility and ensure the item exists in the expected location.
|
||||
- Check slot compatibility and layer restrictions.
|
||||
- Review name pattern and property filters for overly strict constraints.
|
||||
- Hue not applied:
|
||||
- Confirm hue selection is bound correctly and the item supports rehue.
|
||||
- Validate that the hue picker window returns a valid hue value.
|
||||
- Stat requirement failures:
|
||||
- Ensure character meets minimum stat thresholds defined in filters.
|
||||
- Reassess scoring weights if required stats are too aggressive.
|
||||
- Backup strategies:
|
||||
- Export important dress sets regularly to external files.
|
||||
- Maintain versioned backups for each major game update cycle.
|
||||
- Migration procedures after game updates:
|
||||
- Audit item definitions and adjust name patterns or property keys accordingly.
|
||||
- Update dependency ordering if new layers or prerequisites were introduced.
|
||||
- Run regression tests on critical dress sets to verify behavior.

||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
The Dress Manager provides a robust framework for validating items against intended slots, evaluating properties and requirements, and managing dependencies across dress sets. With clear separation between data models, manager logic, and UI bindings, it supports advanced features like name pattern filtering, hue selection, and stat requirements. Proper organization of dress sets, consistent naming conventions, and proactive backup/migration practices help maintain reliability across large collections and multiple characters.

## Core Components
|
||||
|
||||
The automation system consists of several key components, each responsible for specific gameplay automation tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Framework Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
The agent framework provides a foundation for creating specialized automation agents. Each agent implements common interfaces for lifecycle management, configuration handling, and execution control. The framework supports both synchronous and asynchronous operation modes, allowing agents to run concurrently without interfering with each other.
|
||||
|
||||
### Autoloot System
|
||||
|
||||
The autoloot system automatically collects items dropped by defeated enemies based on configurable rules. It supports complex filtering criteria including item properties, names, hues, and custom attributes. The system uses a priority-based approach to handle conflicts when multiple rules match the same item.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dress Manager
|
||||
|
||||
The dress manager handles automatic equipment changes based on scenarios such as combat, resting, or skill training. It maintains multiple equipment sets and can switch between them automatically based on game state conditions. The system ensures proper equipment slot management and validates item compatibility before applying changes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scavenger Agent
|
||||
|
||||
The scavenger agent automates resource gathering by navigating to resource nodes and collecting materials. It includes intelligent pathfinding, inventory management, and route optimization to maximize collection efficiency. The agent can handle different resource types and adapts its behavior based on available tools and character skills.
|
||||
|
||||
### Vendor Agents
|
||||
|
||||
The vendor agents automate buying and selling operations with shops. They support price tracking, stock monitoring, and bulk transactions. The buy agent can purchase items from shop inventories based on predefined lists, while the sell agent manages selling excess inventory to vendors.

||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
|
||||

||||
#### Autoloot Rule Syntax and Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The autoloot system supports a flexible rule syntax that allows players to define complex collection criteria. Rules can be combined using logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) to create sophisticated filtering conditions.
|
||||
|
||||
Key rule components include:
|
||||
- **Property Matching**: Match items by name, hue, weight, value, or custom properties
|
||||
- **Conditional Logic**: Combine multiple conditions using boolean operators
|
||||
- **Priority Handling**: Assign priorities to resolve conflicts between matching rules
|
||||
- **Exception Lists**: Define exceptions to general collection policies

## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
The automation system is designed with performance optimization as a primary concern. Several key strategies ensure efficient operation even with complex automation rules and large datasets.
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Management
|
||||
|
||||
- **Lazy Loading**: Agents load configuration and data only when needed
|
||||
- **Object Pooling**: Frequently used objects are pooled to reduce garbage collection pressure
|
||||
- **Memory Leaks Prevention**: Proper disposal patterns and weak references prevent memory accumulation
|
||||
|
||||
### Processing Efficiency
|
||||
|
||||
- **Asynchronous Operations**: All long-running operations run asynchronously to prevent UI blocking
|
||||
- **Batch Processing**: Multiple operations are batched where possible to reduce overhead
|
||||
- **Caching Strategies**: Frequently accessed data is cached with appropriate invalidation policies
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
- **Packet Throttling**: Outgoing packets are throttled to avoid overwhelming the game server
|
||||
- **Connection Resilience**: Automatic reconnection and retry mechanisms handle network interruptions
|
||||
- **Bandwidth Optimization**: Only necessary data is transmitted over the network
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices for Efficient Automation
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Rule Optimization**: Keep autoloot rules simple and well-ordered to minimize evaluation time
|
||||
2. **Agent Coordination**: Avoid running conflicting agents simultaneously
|
||||
3. **Resource Management**: Regularly clean up unused resources and reset agent states
|
||||
4. **Monitoring**: Use logging and debugging tools to identify performance bottlenecks
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Common automation issues and their solutions:
|
||||
|
||||
### Autoloot Problems
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: Items not being collected despite matching rules
|
||||
- **Solution**: Check rule priority order and verify property matching syntax
|
||||
- **Debug**: Enable detailed logging to see rule evaluation results
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
### Scavenger Manager Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
The Scavenger Manager serves as the central orchestrator for all scavenging operations, coordinating between game state monitoring, inventory management, and inter-agent communication.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Responsibilities:
|
||||
- **Item Detection**: Monitoring game world for eligible items based on scavenger rules
|
||||
- **Inventory Assessment**: Evaluating current inventory capacity and container availability
|
||||
- **Placement Decision Engine**: Determining optimal storage locations for collected items
|
||||
- **Conflict Resolution**: Managing inventory space constraints and item movement requirements
|
||||
- **Agent Coordination**: Communicating with Organizer and Dress agents for integrated workflows
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
### Container Priority System
|
||||
|
||||
The scavenger system implements a sophisticated priority-based container selection algorithm that considers multiple factors when determining where to place collected items:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Container Type Priorities:
|
||||
1. **Backpack Slots**: Primary storage for frequently accessed items
|
||||
2. **Equipment Slots**: Specialized storage for wearable items
|
||||
3. **Personal Containers**: Player-owned containers with specific purposes
|
||||
4. **Shared Containers**: Guild or party containers for shared resources
|
||||
5. **Vendor Containers**: Temporary storage near vendor locations
|
||||
|
||||
#### Placement Decision Factors:
|
||||
- **Item Stackability**: Whether items can be combined with existing stacks
|
||||
- **Container Capacity**: Remaining space in target containers
|
||||
- **Access Frequency**: How often the item needs to be retrieved
|
||||
- **Item Value**: Strategic importance of item accessibility
|
||||
- **Storage Rules**: User-defined preferences and organizational schemes

||||
The scavenger system utilizes an event-driven architecture to maintain real-time synchronization with game state changes and coordinate with other agents:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Key Events:
|
||||
- **ItemCollected**: Triggered when an item is successfully added to inventory
|
||||
- **ContainerFull**: Emitted when target container reaches capacity
|
||||
- **SpaceCreated**: Notified when organizer creates inventory space
|
||||
- **EquipmentChanged**: Broadcast when dress agent modifies equipment
|
||||
- **InventoryResync**: Periodic update to ensure state consistency

### Coupling Analysis:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Loose Coupling**: The scavenger manager uses interfaces rather than direct implementations for external agents
|
||||
- **Event-Driven Communication**: Reduces direct dependencies through publish-subscribe patterns
|
||||
- **Configuration-Based Behavior**: Minimizes hard-coded dependencies through flexible configuration systems
|
||||
- **Asynchronous Operations**: Prevents blocking dependencies through non-blocking communication patterns

## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The Scavenger Agent follows a pipeline:
|
||||
- Configuration and rules are defined via ScavengerEntry and managed by ScavengerManager.
|
||||
- The UI (ScavengerTabViewModel + ScavengerTabControl) allows users to configure and monitor agents.
|
||||
- Scanning uses ItemCollection and EntityCollection filtered by ScavengerEntry criteria.
|
||||
- Distance-based prioritization leverages Map utilities to rank candidates.
|
||||
- Pathfinding uses Pathfind packets to plan routes around obstacles.
|
||||
- Execution is scheduled via ThreadPriorityQueue and ActionPacketQueue to pace actions and avoid flooding the server.
|
||||
- World updates come through IncomingPacketHandlers, keeping collections current.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### ScavengerManager
|
||||
Responsibilities:
|
||||
- Rule evaluation against item/entity collections
|
||||
- Distance-based prioritization using map utilities
|
||||
- Batch grouping of similar targets to reduce overhead
|
||||
- Scheduling via priority queue and action queue
|
||||
- Coordination with pathfinding and incoming updates
|
||||
|
||||
Optimization patterns:
|
||||
- Selective loading: Filter by type, hue, location before scoring
|
||||
- Spatial pruning: Use bounding boxes or radius checks to limit candidate sets
|
||||
- Priority scoring: Combine distance, rarity, and urgency into a single score
|
||||
- Batching: Group identical or similar items to minimize repeated pathfinding and packet bursts
|
||||
- Backoff and throttling: Pace actions to avoid server-side rate limits and reduce CPU/network spikes

### Scanning Algorithm and Prioritization
|
||||
Key steps:
|
||||
- Candidate selection: Apply ScavengerEntry filters to ItemCollection and optionally EntityCollection
|
||||
- Spatial pruning: Limit to a configurable radius around the player or waypoint
|
||||
- Scoring: Combine distance, rarity, and urgency weights
|
||||
- Sorting: Produce an ordered list of targets
|
||||
- Batching: Merge adjacent or identical targets to reduce redundant work

### Pathfinding Integration
|
||||
- Uses Pathfind packets to compute routes to target locations
|
||||
- Considers obstacles and terrain flags via Map data
|
||||
- Replans when dynamic changes occur (e.g., new objects blocking paths)
|
||||
- Integrates with ActionPacketQueue to pace movement commands

## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Selective entity loading
|
||||
- Prefer targeted queries over full scans; use filters early to reduce candidate sets
|
||||
- Limit scan radius based on environment density and server load
|
||||
- Memory usage reduction
|
||||
- Avoid retaining references to transient items after processing
|
||||
- Reuse buffers and temporary lists where possible
|
||||
- Periodically compact or clear caches if applicable
|
||||
- CPU cycle management
|
||||
- Throttle scan frequency; adapt to FPS or tick rates
|
||||
- Use priority queues to process high-value targets first
|
||||
- Batch pathfinding requests and reuse computed paths when stable
|
||||
- Network efficiency
|
||||
- Coalesce actions into batches to reduce packet volume
|
||||
- Respect server rate limits; implement backoff on failures
|
||||
- Battery life optimization (mobile)
|
||||
- Reduce scan frequency and background activity when idle
|
||||
- Lower screen refresh and disable non-essential UI updates during automation
|
||||
- Prefer offline computations (scoring, sorting) over frequent network calls
|
||||
- Advanced strategies
|
||||
- Intelligent route planning: Plan multi-stop routes that minimize total travel distance
|
||||
- Batch processing: Group similar items (same type/hue) to amortize pathfinding and interaction costs
|
||||
- Multi-agent coordination: Share target assignments to avoid duplicate pickups and conflicts
|
||||
|
||||

## Introduction
|
||||
The Scavenger Agent automates resource collection by scanning the game world for specified items and moving to them for pickup or interaction. It supports configuration-driven item targeting, quantity tracking, and integrates with inventory management and container organization systems. The agent is designed to be efficient across large map areas, minimize battery usage on mobile devices, and coexist with other agents without conflicts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The Scavenger feature spans shared data models, UI view models, Avalonia views, and tests:
|
||||
- Data layer: ScavengerEntry and ScavengerManager define configuration and orchestration logic.
|
||||
- UI layer: ScavengerTabViewModel binds configuration to the UI; ScavengerTabControl hosts the tab.
|
||||
- Game object model: Item and ItemCollection provide access to world items.
|
||||
- Integration: OrganizerManager and OrganizerEntry coordinate container organization after scavenging.
|
||||
- Tests: ScavengerTests validate behavior and edge cases.

|
||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The Scavenger Agent follows a clear separation between configuration, orchestration, and UI:
|
||||
- Configuration: ScavengerEntry defines what to collect and how much.
|
||||
- Orchestration: ScavengerManager reads configuration, scans ItemCollection, selects targets, and coordinates actions.
|
||||
- UI: ScavengerTabViewModel exposes properties and commands to the ScavengerTabControl.
|
||||
- Integration: After collection, OrganizerManager applies OrganizerEntry rules to place items into appropriate containers.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### ScavengerEntry
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
- Defines a single scavenging rule including item type filtering and quantity targets.
|
||||
- May include additional constraints such as hue, quality, or location-based filters.
|
||||
|
||||
Key aspects:
|
||||
- Item type filtering: Uses identifiers or categories to match world items.
|
||||
- Quantity tracking: Maintains required amount and current progress.
|
||||
- Constraints: Optional attributes that refine matching beyond base type.
|
||||
|
||||
Complexity considerations:
|
||||
- Filtering performance depends on the number of active entries and world item count.
|
||||
- Prefer specific filters to reduce candidate set size.
|
||||
|
||||
**Section sources**
|
||||
- [ScavengerEntry.cs](file://ClassicAssist.Shared/Data/Scavenger/ScavengerEntry.cs)
|
||||
|
||||
### ScavengerManager
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
- Central orchestrator for scanning, selection, movement, and collection.
|
||||
- Manages lifecycle of the scavenging loop and communicates with UI via the ViewModel.
|
||||
|
||||
Core workflow:
|
||||
- Initialize with active ScavengerEntry list.
|
||||
- Iterate through entries until all quantities are satisfied.
|
||||
- For each entry:
|
||||
- Query ItemCollection with filters derived from the entry.
|
||||
- Apply selection criteria when multiple matches exist.
|
||||
- Execute movement and interaction to acquire the item.
|
||||
- Update quantity counters and notify UI.
|
||||
- Optionally delegate to OrganizerManager for sorting.
|
||||
|
||||
Selection algorithm:
|
||||
- When multiple candidates match, choose the most efficient target:
|
||||
- Nearest distance to player.
|
||||
- Highest stack size if applicable.
|
||||
- Accessibility constraints (e.g., not locked or blocked).
|
||||
|
||||
Integration points:
|
||||
- ItemCollection for world item enumeration and filtering.
|
||||
- OrganizerManager for post-collection organization.
|
||||
- ScavengerTabViewModel for progress reporting and control.
|
||||
|
||||
Error handling:
|
||||
- Graceful recovery when targets disappear or become unreachable.
|
||||
- Logging and UI feedback for failures.

|
||||
### ScavengerTabViewModel and ScavengerTabControl
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
- ViewModel exposes configuration and runtime state to the UI.
|
||||
- View hosts controls for adding/removing entries, starting/stopping the agent, and viewing progress.
|
||||
|
||||
Responsibilities:
|
||||
- Bind ScavengerEntry collections to UI lists.
|
||||
- Handle user actions (start, stop, edit entries).
|
||||
- Update UI elements as ScavengerManager reports progress.
|
||||
|
||||
Interaction flow:
|
||||
- User opens ScavengerTabControl.
|
||||
- ViewModel loads entries and displays them.
|
||||
- User starts agent; ViewModel invokes ScavengerManager.
|
||||
- Manager updates counts; ViewModel refreshes UI.

|
||||
|
||||
### Integration with Organizer
|
||||
After collecting items, the Scavenger Agent can organize them into containers according to OrganizerEntry rules. This ensures consistent storage and reduces manual sorting.
|
||||
|
||||
Workflow:
|
||||
- Upon successful acquisition, pass items to OrganizerManager.
|
||||
- OrganizerManager evaluates OrganizerEntry rules to determine destination containers.
|
||||
- Items are moved accordingly.

- ScavengerManager depends on ItemCollection for world scanning and OrganizerManager for post-collection tasks.
|
||||
- ScavengerTabViewModel depends on ScavengerManager and ScavengerEntry for binding and control.
|
||||
- ScavengerTabControl depends on ScavengerTabViewModel for UI composition.
|
||||
- Tests depend on ScavengerManager to validate behavior.

|
||||
- Use precise filters in ScavengerEntry to reduce candidate sets.
|
||||
- Prefer nearest-first selection to minimize movement overhead.
|
||||
- Battery life optimization:
|
||||
- Avoid excessive polling; rely on event-driven updates where possible.
|
||||
- Batch interactions and avoid redundant path recalculations.
|
||||
- Conflict resolution with other agents:
|
||||
- Ensure non-blocking operations so other agents can run concurrently.
|
||||
- Respect locks and ownership to prevent collisions.
|
||||
- Memory and CPU:
|
||||
- Reuse filter instances and avoid creating temporary collections unnecessarily.
|
||||
- Debounce UI updates to prevent heavy redraws.

## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains the fundamentals of the Scavenger Agent in ClassicAssist.Avalonia. It focuses on how automated resource gathering is configured and executed, including:
|
||||
- How ScavengerEntry configurations define target items, quantities, and collection priorities
|
||||
- The item type filtering system for categories such as ores, logs, herbs, or general loot
|
||||
- The quantity tracking mechanism that monitors collected items and determines when targets are met
|
||||
- Practical examples for common scenarios like mining copper ore, collecting wood from trees, or harvesting herbs
|
||||
- The relationship between scavenger entries and the game’s item identification system
|
||||
|
||||
The goal is to provide both conceptual understanding and practical guidance for setting up and using the Scavenger Agent effectively.
|
||||

## Core Components
|
||||
- ScavengerEntry: Defines a single scavenging target with properties for item identification, quantity goals, and priority.
|
||||
- ScavengerManager: Orchestrates scanning, matching, prioritization, and execution of actions against world items based on active entries.
|
||||
- ScavengerTabViewModel: Binds Scavenger configuration to the UI, exposes commands, and updates counts/status.
|
||||
- ScavengerTabControl: Hosts the Scavenger UI within the Avalonia interface.
|
||||
- Item and EntityCollection: Provide access to in-game items and collections used by the manager to locate and interact with resources.
|
||||
|
||||
Key responsibilities:
|
||||
- Entry configuration: item IDs, names, types, quantities, and priorities
|
||||
- Filtering: category-based selection (ores, logs, herbs, general loot)
|
||||
- Tracking: maintain current counts per entry and determine completion
|
||||
- Execution: select best candidate based on priority and proximity, then perform targeted interactions

||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The Scavenger Agent follows a layered architecture:
|
||||
- Configuration layer: ScavengerEntry defines what to collect and how important it is
|
||||
- Orchestration layer: ScavengerManager scans entities, filters matches, tracks progress, and selects next action
|
||||
- UI layer: ScavengerTabViewModel and ScavengerTabControl present configuration and status
|
||||
- Game integration: Item and EntityCollection expose live world state

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### ScavengerEntry: Target Definition
|
||||
ScavengerEntry encapsulates a single resource target. Typical fields include:
|
||||
- Identification: item ID(s), name patterns, and/or type/category
|
||||
- Quantity: desired amount to collect
|
||||
- Priority: relative importance among multiple entries
|
||||
- Flags: optional constraints (e.g., only certain hues or conditions)
|
||||
|
||||
Behavioral notes:
|
||||
- Multiple identifiers can be specified to match variants of an item
|
||||
- Category filters allow broad targeting (ores, logs, herbs, general loot)
|
||||
- Priority influences selection order when multiple candidates exist
|
||||
|
||||
Practical setup examples:
|
||||
- Mining copper ore: set entry to copper ore ID/type with desired quantity; assign higher priority if you want to focus on copper first
|
||||
- Collecting wood from trees: configure entry for log type or tree-related statics; ensure category filter includes logs
|
||||
- Harvesting herbs: configure entry for herb types; optionally add hue constraints if needed
|
||||
|
||||
Relationship to item identification:
|
||||
- Entries rely on item IDs and types exposed by the game’s item system
|
||||
- Matching uses these identifiers to find suitable world objects
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### ScavengerManager: Orchestration and Tracking
|
||||
ScavengerManager coordinates the entire scavenging process:
|
||||
- Scanning: enumerates nearby or visible items via EntityCollection
|
||||
- Filtering: applies entry criteria (IDs, types, categories) to build candidate lists
|
||||
- Prioritization: selects the most relevant candidate based on entry priority and other factors
|
||||
- Tracking: maintains per-entry counts and determines when targets are met
|
||||
- Execution: performs actions such as targeting or using skills to gather resources

|
||||
|
||||
### UI Integration: ScavengerTabViewModel and ScavengerTabControl
|
||||
- ScavengerTabViewModel binds ScavengerEntry collections to the UI, exposes commands to add/remove/edit entries, and refreshes counts/status
|
||||
- ScavengerTabControl hosts the UI and initializes the view model
|
||||
|
||||
User workflow:
|
||||
- Add new entries with item identifiers and target quantities
|
||||
- Adjust priorities to influence collection order
|
||||
- Observe real-time counts and completion status

- [ScavengerTabControl.xaml.cs](file://ClassicAssist.Avalonia/Views/Agents/ScavengerTabControl.xaml.cs)
|
||||
|
||||
### Item Identification System Integration
|
||||
Scavenger relies on the game’s item identification system:
|
||||
- Item IDs and types are primary matching keys
|
||||
- Categories (ores, logs, herbs, general loot) map to item type groups
|
||||
- Hue and property filters may refine matches where supported
|
||||
|
||||
This ensures accurate targeting across different shard implementations and item sets.

|
||||
|
||||
### Example Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
#### Basic Setup: Mining Copper Ore
|
||||
- Create a ScavengerEntry for copper ore using its ID/type
|
||||
- Set target quantity to your inventory capacity or desired amount
|
||||
- Assign high priority to focus on copper before other materials
|
||||
- Ensure category filter includes ores
|
||||
|
||||
#### Basic Setup: Collecting Wood from Trees
|
||||
- Configure entry for logs or tree-related statics
|
||||
- Use category filter for logs
|
||||
- Set quantity based on crafting needs
|
||||
- Lower priority than ores if you prefer to mine first
|
||||
|
||||
#### Basic Setup: Harvesting Herbs
|
||||
- Configure entry for herb types
|
||||
- Optionally constrain by hue if specific herb colors matter
|
||||
- Set quantity and moderate priority
|
||||
|
||||
These examples demonstrate how entries translate into automated collection workflows.

## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Limit scan scope: Prefer local or filtered enumeration to reduce overhead
|
||||
- Batch updates: Avoid excessive UI refreshes; coalesce count updates
|
||||
- Prioritize efficiently: Precompute candidate lists per entry to minimize repeated filtering
|
||||
- Throttle actions: Prevent spamming target/use calls; respect cooldowns and server limits
|
||||
- Cache stable data: Reuse item metadata where possible to avoid redundant lookups
|
||||
|
||||
[No sources needed since this section provides general guidance]

## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains the Vendor Buy Agent system that automatically purchases items from NPCs based on configured shop lists and criteria. It covers data structures, selection algorithms, price monitoring, stock tracking, automatic restocking triggers, UI configuration, common buying scenarios, and error handling for insufficient funds, vendor inventory limitations, and transaction failures.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The buy agent spans shared data models, network packet definitions, UI view models, and tests:
|
||||
- Data models define buy rules and shop entries.
|
||||
- Network packets model vendor interactions (opening vendor windows, requesting buys).
|
||||
- UI components provide a tabbed interface to create and manage buy rules.
|
||||
- Tests validate core behaviors.

## Core Components
|
||||
- VendorBuyAgentEntry: Represents a single buy rule with item identifiers, quantity limits, price thresholds, vendor preferences, and state such as last purchase time or stock counters.
|
||||
- ShopListEntry: Defines an entry within a vendor’s shop list including item properties, price, and availability indicators used by the agent to match and select items.
|
||||
- VendorBuyTabViewModel: Binds the UI to buy rules, orchestrates scanning vendor inventories, applying selection criteria, and issuing purchase requests.
|
||||
- VendorBuyTabControl: Hosts the Avalonia UI for creating/editing buy rules and displaying status.
|
||||
- Network Packets: VendorBuy, ContainerContentsPacket, ContainerContentUpdate, UseObject, ContextMenuClick are used to open vendors, read shop contents, and request purchases.
|
||||
|
||||
Key responsibilities:
|
||||
- Maintain and persist buy rules.
|
||||
- Match vendor shop items against criteria.
|
||||
- Enforce quantity caps and price monitoring.
|
||||
- Trigger purchases when conditions are met.
|
||||
- Handle errors and update UI state.

## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The buy agent follows a pipeline:
|
||||
- User configures buy rules via the UI.
|
||||
- The agent periodically scans nearby vendors or reacts to vendor window events.
|
||||
- It reads vendor shop contents using container-related packets.
|
||||
- It applies selection algorithms (item matching, price checks, stock levels).
|
||||
- It issues purchase requests through vendor buy packets.
|
||||
- It updates internal state and UI feedback.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### VendorBuyAgentEntry
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
- Encapsulates a single buy rule with all necessary parameters for automated purchasing.
|
||||
- Tracks runtime state like last purchase timestamp, current stock count, and flags for enabling/disabling the rule.
|
||||
|
||||
Key aspects:
|
||||
- Item identification fields for matching vendor shop entries.
|
||||
- Quantity constraints (min/max per cycle or total).
|
||||
- Price threshold controls (max price, optional average price tracking).
|
||||
- Vendor preference filters (e.g., specific vendor types or locations).
|
||||
- State fields for cooldowns, retries, and logs.
|
||||
|
||||
Complexity:
|
||||
- O(1) access to rule fields; evaluation cost depends on matching logic in the ViewModel.
|
||||
|
||||
Error handling:
|
||||
- Validates numeric ranges and ensures required fields are set before activation.

|
||||
|
||||
### ShopListEntry
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
- Represents an item as it appears in a vendor’s shop list.
|
||||
- Provides attributes needed for matching and decision-making (price, quantity available, item IDs, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
Key aspects:
|
||||
- Fields for item identity and properties.
|
||||
- Price and stock information parsed from vendor shop packets.
|
||||
- Comparison helpers to sort or filter shop items.
|
||||
|
||||
Complexity:
|
||||
- Matching is typically linear over the number of shop items.

|
||||
- Check price against thresholds.
|
||||
- Verify stock availability and quantity limits.
|
||||
- Select best candidate (e.g., lowest price among matches).
|
||||
- Execute purchase if all conditions pass.

|
||||
### Network Interactions
|
||||
- Opening vendor windows and reading shop contents rely on container-related packets.
|
||||
- Purchase requests use vendor buy packets.
|
||||
- Context menu actions may be used to initiate vendor interactions.
|
||||

||||
## Dependency Analysis
|
||||
- VendorBuyTabViewModel depends on:
|
||||
- VendorBuyAgentEntry and ShopListEntry for rule data and shop item representation.
|
||||
- Network packets for vendor operations and shop content parsing.
|
||||
- UI components for user input and display.
|
||||
- VendorSellAgentEntry and XYComparer are related but not strictly required for buy logic; they support broader vendor functionality and comparisons.

|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Minimize repeated vendor scans by caching shop contents until updates arrive via container updates.
|
||||
- Prefer early exits in matching loops when criteria clearly fail.
|
||||
- Batch purchase requests where possible to reduce network overhead.
|
||||
- Debounce UI updates to avoid excessive redraws during bulk operations.
|
||||
- Use efficient comparators for sorting shop items by price or relevance.

|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and resolutions:
|
||||
- Insufficient funds:
|
||||
- Ensure budget thresholds are set appropriately.
|
||||
- Review recent transactions and adjust max price or quantity limits.
|
||||
- Vendor inventory limitations:
|
||||
- Check stock counters and vendor refresh cycles.
|
||||
- Increase wait intervals between scans if vendors replenish slowly.
|
||||
- Transaction failures:
|
||||
- Validate vendor interaction sequence (open vendor, read shop, then buy).
|
||||
- Confirm correct item IDs and quantities in buy rules.
|
||||
- Inspect UI error messages and logs for server-side rejection reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
Operational tips:
|
||||
- Temporarily disable problematic rules to isolate issues.
|
||||
- Reduce rule complexity (fewer criteria) to verify baseline behavior.
|
||||
- Monitor last purchase timestamps to detect stalls.

## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains the Price Tracking and Analysis system within vendor management. It covers how NPC prices are monitored, historical pricing data is tracked, and cost analysis supports trading decisions. It also documents the XYComparer utility for price comparisons, price threshold configurations, market trend analysis, best vendor selection, price alerting, profit margin calculations, integration with buy and sell agents, optimization strategies (bulk purchase timing and market speculation), data storage considerations, performance characteristics for large datasets, and export capabilities for financial analysis.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The price tracking and analysis features are implemented across shared data models, UI view models, and network packet handling:
|
||||
|
||||
- Data models define entries for shop listings, sell lists, and agent-specific configuration for buying and selling.
|
||||
- A dedicated comparer utility enables consistent ordering and comparison of items by key attributes such as name and price.
|
||||
- UI tabs and view models expose controls and bindings to configure thresholds, display trends, and trigger actions.
|
||||
- Network handlers integrate with incoming vendor packets to capture live pricing updates.

|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Efficient Comparisons: Use XYComparer consistently to avoid repeated custom sorting logic and ensure stable orderings.
|
||||
- History Management: Implement bounded buffers or rolling windows for price history to limit memory growth and maintain query performance.
|
||||
- Batch Updates: Coalesce frequent price updates into batched processing to reduce UI churn and computation overhead.
|
||||
- Indexing: Maintain indexes on frequently queried fields (e.g., item_id, timestamp) to speed up trend queries and exports.
|
||||
- Lazy Loading: Load detailed price histories on demand rather than upfront to improve startup and responsiveness.
|
||||
- Concurrency: Ensure thread-safe access to shared price data structures; use queues or locks where necessary to prevent race conditions.
|
||||
|
||||
[No sources needed since this section provides general guidance]
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and resolutions:
|
||||
- Missing price updates: Verify IncomingPacketHandlers is wired to VendorBuy packets and that UI view models receive updates.
|
||||
- Incorrect vendor ranking: Confirm XYComparer is applied consistently and that comparison keys match expected semantics.
|
||||
- Thresholds not triggering: Check configuration in VendorBuyAgentEntry and VendorSellAgentEntry, and ensure thresholds are evaluated after each price update.
|
||||
- High memory usage: Inspect price history retention policies and implement rolling windows or periodic pruning.
|
||||

## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains the Vendor Sell Agent system that automatically sells unwanted items to NPCs based on configurable sell lists and conditions. It covers the data structures, filtering logic, UI configuration, profit optimization features, price comparison across vendors, inventory cleanup strategies, and practical workflows such as junk disposal, loot processing, and maintenance routines. It also addresses considerations like vendor reputation effects, selling restrictions, and market value fluctuations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The Vendor Sell Agent spans shared data models, UI view models, and tests:
|
||||
- Shared data models define agent entries, sell list entries, and related helpers.
|
||||
- Avalonia UI provides the tab control for managing sell rules.
|
||||
- Tests validate behavior and edge cases.

## Core Components
|
||||
- VendorSellAgentEntry: Represents a configured sell agent instance with settings controlling which items are sold, thresholds, and behaviors.
|
||||
- SellListEntry: Defines individual sell rules including item criteria, minimum value, and exclusion flags.
|
||||
- VendorSellTabViewModel: Binds UI controls to agent configuration, exposes commands to add/remove/edit rules, and orchestrates selling operations.
|
||||
- VendorSellTabControl: Hosts the UI surface for managing sell rules and triggers actions from the ViewModel.
|
||||
- Supporting types: ShopListEntry and VendorBuyAgentEntry provide context for vendor interactions; XYComparer supports spatial comparisons when needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Key responsibilities:
|
||||
- Maintain collections of sell rules and agent options.
|
||||
- Evaluate inventory items against rules and thresholds.
|
||||
- Execute sell actions through vendor interfaces.
|
||||
- Persist and load configurations via the UI.

||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The sell flow is driven by the ViewModel, which reads agent configuration and applies filtering logic to inventory items. When an item matches a rule and meets thresholds, the agent initiates a sale through the vendor interface.

## Detailed Component Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### VendorSellAgentEntry
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
- Holds agent-level configuration such as enabled state, default thresholds, and global filters.
|
||||
- Provides accessors for rule evaluation and action execution.
|
||||
|
||||
Key aspects:
|
||||
- Global enable/disable toggle.
|
||||
- Default minimum value threshold if not specified per rule.
|
||||
- Flags to include/exclude categories or specific properties.
|
||||
- Integration points for vendor selection and transaction handling.
|
||||
|
||||
Complexity:
|
||||
- O(1) accessors for settings.
|
||||
- Rule iteration cost depends on number of rules.
|
||||
|
||||
Optimization opportunities:
|
||||
- Cache frequently accessed metadata (e.g., item categories).
|
||||
- Short-circuit evaluation when global disable is set.
|
||||
|
||||
Error handling:
|
||||
- Validate configuration on load.
|
||||
- Log invalid rules and skip them during evaluation.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### SellListEntry
|
||||
Purpose:
|
||||
- Encapsulates a single sell rule with match criteria and thresholds.
|
||||
|
||||
Attributes typically include:
|
||||
- Item identifier or pattern matching fields.
|
||||
- Minimum value threshold override.
|
||||
- Exclusion flags for valuable or special items.
|
||||
- Optional category or property constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
Evaluation logic:
|
||||
- Compare item attributes against rule fields.
|
||||
- Apply minimum value check using either rule-specific or agent-wide threshold.
|
||||
- Respect exclusion flags to protect high-value items.
|
||||
|
||||
Complexity:
|
||||
- Per-item evaluation is O(R) where R is number of active rules.
|
||||
- Sorting/comparison helpers may be used for ordering candidates.
|
||||
|
||||
Optimization opportunities:
|
||||
- Precompute normalized identifiers for faster matching.
|
||||
- Group rules by category to reduce comparisons.
|
||||
|
||||
Error handling:
|
||||
- Ignore malformed rules gracefully.
|
||||
- Provide clear diagnostics for unmatched expectations.

||||
Integration points:
|
||||
- VendorSellTabControl for rendering and input.
|
||||
- Underlying vendor interfaces for transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
Error handling:
|
||||
- Validate inputs before saving.
|
||||
- Report failures during selling with actionable messages.

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Rule evaluation complexity scales with the number of active rules; prefer concise patterns and categorization to minimize comparisons.
|
||||
- Use short-circuiting: disable the agent globally when not needed to avoid unnecessary enumeration.
|
||||
- Cache expensive lookups (e.g., item metadata) to reduce repeated work.
|
||||
- Batch sell operations where possible to reduce vendor interaction overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
[No sources needed since this section provides general guidance]
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and resolutions:
|
||||
- No items sold:
|
||||
- Verify agent is enabled and at least one rule exists.
|
||||
- Confirm minimum value thresholds are not too high.
|
||||
- Check exclusion flags that might protect items.
|
||||
- Incorrect items sold:
|
||||
- Review rule patterns and exclusions.
|
||||
- Ensure item identifiers or categories match expected values.
|
||||
- UI not updating:
|
||||
- Confirm bindings are correct in the ViewModel.
|
||||
- Check for exceptions in command handlers.
|
||||
- Vendor errors:
|
||||
- Inspect logs for transaction failures.
|
||||
- Validate vendor availability and reputation requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
Validation and logging:
|
||||
- The ViewModel should validate inputs and report errors clearly.
|
||||
- Tests can help reproduce and isolate issues.

## Introduction
|
||||
This document explains the Vendor Management system in ClassicAssist.Avalonia, focusing on automated trading agents that handle buying and selling operations with NPCs. It covers the data structures for buy/sell entries, shop list management, transaction automation, UI components for configuration, price monitoring, stock tracking, vendor interface integration, item validation, currency management, and common trading scenarios such as bulk purchasing, profit maximization, and inventory restocking. Error handling for insufficient funds, vendor limitations, and network connectivity issues is also addressed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Structure
|
||||
The Vendor Management feature spans shared data models, view models, Avalonia UI controls, and UO networking packets:
|
||||
- Data models define agent entries and shop lists for buy/sell operations.
|
||||
- View models provide state and commands to configure and run trades.
|
||||
- Avalonia tabs host the user interfaces for configuring buy/sell lists and monitoring transactions.
|
||||
- Networking packets encapsulate vendor buy requests sent to the game server.

## Core Components
|
||||
- VendorBuyAgentEntry: Represents a single buy rule or entry used by the buy agent to decide what to purchase from vendors.
|
||||
- VendorSellAgentEntry: Represents a single sell rule or entry used by the sell agent to decide what to sell to vendors.
|
||||
- ShopListEntry: Defines an item listing within a vendor’s shop catalog, including identifiers and pricing metadata.
|
||||
- SellListEntry: Defines an item listing for the player’s sell queue, including quantities and target prices.
|
||||
- XYComparer: Utility comparer used for sorting or ordering related to coordinates or indices (e.g., vendor positioning or list order).
|
||||
|
||||
These types form the backbone of the automated trading logic and are consumed by the UI view models to present and control buy/sell workflows.

||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
The Vendor Management architecture follows a layered approach:
|
||||
- Data layer: Agent entries and shop/sell list entries model trade rules and catalogs.
|
||||
- Presentation layer: Avalonia tabs host UI for configuration and monitoring.
|
||||
- ViewModel layer: View models coordinate user actions, manage state, and orchestrate transactions.
|
||||
- Network layer: Vendor buy packet sends purchase requests to the server.

## Dependency Analysis
|
||||
- VendorBuyTabViewModel depends on VendorBuyAgentEntry and ShopListEntry to evaluate and execute buys.
|
||||
- VendorSellTabViewModel depends on VendorSellAgentEntry and SellListEntry to evaluate and execute sells.
|
||||
- Both view models rely on Avalonia tab controls for UI binding and interaction.
|
||||
- The buy workflow uses the VendorBuy packet to communicate with the server.

## Performance Considerations
|
||||
- Batch operations: Group multiple buy/sell requests where possible to reduce network overhead.
|
||||
- Efficient matching: Use comparers and indexes to quickly filter shop items and inventory.
|
||||
- Throttling: Avoid flooding the server with rapid requests; introduce small delays between transactions.
|
||||
- UI responsiveness: Offload heavy computations to background tasks and marshal updates to the UI thread.

## Troubleshooting Guide
|
||||
Common issues and resolutions:
|
||||
- Insufficient funds:
|
||||
- Ensure the player has enough gold before initiating buys.
|
||||
- Validate budget constraints in the buy agent configuration.
|
||||
- Vendor limitations:
|
||||
- Respect per-item purchase limits enforced by the vendor.
|
||||
- Handle cases where stock drops below requested quantity.
|
||||
- Network connectivity issues:
|
||||
- Retry failed transactions with backoff.
|
||||
- Provide clear error messages and allow manual resumption.
|
||||
- Price volatility:
|
||||
- Re-evaluate prices before each transaction to avoid outdated assumptions.
|
||||
- Log discrepancies between expected and actual costs.
|
||||
|
||||
Operational tips:
|
||||
- Monitor logs for failures and partial successes.
|
||||
- Use stock tracking to prevent overselling or overbuying.
|
||||
- Confirm vendor interactions are active and reachable before starting automation.
