I have a problem with the d2jsp Pindle bot. After starting the bot it runs fine for a while, creating games, killing Pindle and grabbing stuff.
But after a certain time it fails to open a new game. Instead of clicking the button for a new game it presses the channel button, then the ladder button, then again the channel button and so on. The bot completely gets stuck in doing and continues this endless. The only way to stop it is finishing the d2jsp loader and manually quitting D2-LOD. After a restart the bot works fine again for a while until the same problem starts again.
It mostly happens after 30-90 minutes after starting the bot.

Is this a known problem? How can I fix it?
It's not funny coming to the computer in the morning and then seeing the bot beeing stuck for hours instead of grabbing items.

this is a problem thats is faced frequently but i do not know what to say because i never had it. It might be because of your connection, and it might be getting slow

I'm connected by DSL with Fastpath. That should be fast enough. Is there no fix or workaround for that problem?
Maybe they should restart D2-LOD in the next bot version if no game is started after a certain time.

It has to do with the "wait in line"

Sometimes it takes to long to create a game and then it get stuck...everybody i know have this problem....too much bot users out there :)

I know. But increase your dCreateGame and dFailGame like this:
dCreateGame=90000
dFailGame=15000

Using these settings i had no problems last night. (I've had problems all other nights about this before i changed these values.)

Anyways, this is a known bug and it will soon be fixed according to the developers of d2jsp.

I watched the behavior of d2jsp today. The problem occours when the bot is trying to open a game waiting in the line. If the game then doesn't start and remains stuck in the waiting line the bot presses the channel and ladder buttons instead of the back (or cancel?, got German version, sorry if the names are wrong) button.
When I press the back (or cancel) button manually the bot continues working normally opening a new game.
So one simple mouse klick is enough to fix the problem. The bot should be able to do this automatically. That would make it perfect for me.
I often realize problems when opening a game when I play. So the bot should be able to handle this.

All that would be necessary to fix the problem would be making the bot press back (cancel) if a game didn't start after x (configurable value) seconds.

I'm going to try your values anyway. Maybe it will help. Thanks.
