Gem value in item calculation

[Chos5555]

Hi,
I wanted to ask about how the gem value calculation in equipped items works. I've had it set to automatic in the advanced "Gem behavior" settings, but MFBot replaced my equipped item (with gem) with an item that had just a little bit more stats not counting the gem, but with the gem the equipped item was far better.
I then tried to set the setting to custom and set the gem value to 100, but I don't really know what that means, is that 100 gold? 100% for item comparison? Does anyone know if I can make the bot count gems when comparing items to see which is better?

Thanks for any replies

PS: Also another question, is there anywhere I can check out the code for MFBot? I'd be interested to look at it

Hi,

When you set the gem behaviour to manual and define the gem value to 100, the Bot will simulate all items having a socket witth a black gem with +100 to all attributes. If the old item also had a socket this item would also be simulated with +100 to all attributes. So if you find the Bot changes your items too often you may be better off with increasing the minimum improvement for items to be equipped.

Please understand that we have lots of reasons to not provide our code. Some of them are:
Playa could improve there Bot detection if they now how our Bot works.
Others could upload our Bot with Malware in it and then blame us.
We invest a lot of time and do not want others to claim ownership of our work.

Thank you for the reply!
So currently the bot doesn't take into count the actual gem that's in the item, right? Alright, time to set the minimal improvement to a higher percentage

To the code question, I understand completely, I've been contributing to some open-source projects lately, so that's why I was wondering, just curiosity.
Thank you for your time and effort!

That's right, the Bot doesn't take into account the current gem because you may find better ones in the future(e.g. a black gem instead of a normal one).

The automatic behaviour is that the Bot detects what gem values you currently find in the mine and uses this as the base of calculations.
