It generally comes down to build. What skills, stats, and items did you have? Do you have max block, max resistances, holy shield pumped, and a tanky merc? Share a codedeception.com character planner.
Your experience is consistent with the nature of hardcore botting in my experiences with jsp, etal, d2bs, and kolbot.
You want to maximize the amount of time the bot can run before dying so that it nets positive on loot. Your character will die. Your goal is sustainability and profit for your account, not immortality for the single character.
Let's look at the settings, since that's the second easiest thing to change after gear. You lose run speed with more conservative settings, but you save time making a new character.
1. Bump up your chicken % from 45 to 65 and rejuv % from 60 to 75.
2. Add a merc chicken. If your merc is dying, you probably want to leave before whatever kills him gets to you.
3. Disable TownHP. Watch the bot - if you're clearing non-boss areas like your configuration is set to, you generally aren't taking a single big hit but are getting swarmed. If the bot gets to 50% health, you want it to leave the game. Whatever enemies put you there, you don't want the bot going back into that area.
4. You have your dodge set to 70%. Try 95% - so your bot will start kiting immediately when it gets hit. Alternatively, since you're a hammerdin, disable this entirely since you want to stand and fight and hope the monsters don't get in your deadzone.
5. You don't have any SkipEnchants set. At the minimum, I recommend these three combinations:
I also recommend testing builds in single player with exact item setups, skills, stats, and routes first. You should trial and error to see what % of runs end in a chicken.

Code:

Config.UseRejuvMP = 0
Config.UseMercHP = 70 -- Give a healing potion to your merc if his/her life is under designated percent.

Try 95% - so your bot will start kiting immediately when it gets hit.

some great advice here. While the random freezing does really upset me I think outside of that the bot is quite good at surviving. managed to get a character to lvl 95 in HC realistically i should have been banned before reaching this level. im scared to even play manually on that character because im way more likely to die than the bot is(and im a good player lots of experience). the auto chicken and save+quit is just way faster and reliable than a human can be.

Yeah, on my sorcs I rely heavily on the ability of the bot to kite and dodge - reverse telestomping kinda. It never accidently teleports onto another mob like a human might.
Any chance you can share your general setup? You're way more successful than me! Would love to see.

honestly I saw somebody from here in the hardcore section of jsp and stopped giving advice haha. I know its kind of a toxic attitude but yall really are my direct competition. nothing personal

That's not toxic, no worries. It makes sense. To me, optimizing the bot is my endgame, not the FG
I have botted a few characters from 0-90 on hc, rarely die unless it's my own mistake (sending the character to the wrong bosses, bad config, etc). Like mentioned above if your chicken was set at 20% it's a big issue. Even if you set it at 50% it will help a lot, but it depends on your characters total life and if you have cta or not. If your merc is chickening a lot past 50% it means you're not geared enough, farming the wrong areas for the character, or configs are bad

Yeah, it's frustrating. Software/hardware bugs are out of our control
Glad you didn't give up entirely - I sometimes go back to SC for the sweet relief of not waking up/coming home to "Dead characters cannot make games." Hardcore always lures me back hah.
just do
Code:
Config.Sorceress.UseTelekinesis = false -- Use telekinesis on units that allow it. Example: Shrines, Waypoints, Chests, and Portals.
Config.Sorceress.UseTelekinesisWaypoint = false -- Use telekinesis for use waypoint [ THIS IS TAKE YOUR MOUSE IM NOT CAN STOP THIS IT IS D2R THAT IS DO MOUSE TAKE ]and it is 100% same for before update
d2r is take mouse if you are open waypoint screen im not can stop this
while this did not work for me as far as making it like the way it was, the blockhd mod stops the mouse takeover and also seems to have removed the random freezes I was experiencing - hopefully this is the fix I needed
Thanks again for all you do, ZhiPei! You are amazing <3
I have done thousands of succesful hc runs. I had 2 characters die at the beginning....BUT it was my fault both times.
You must have max block, you must have res maxed, Damage reduction over 30% is super helpful, fire/light absorption is super helpful.
I have my chicken set to 48%. 20% is crazy! If you get hit with fanat mob and you are amped it could easily take out half your health.
But both times I died I was new to botting hc and learned my lessons. 1st time I was not running proper gear and didn't have over 2.6k hp.
2nd time I had a timer shut down or stop the bot during a run...that is NOT a good idea on hardcore if you are running act 5 anything.
Burning souls and those red dolls that explode on death can kill you even if you have a good setup if you close out of the game at a poor time.
TL;DR guide to hc botting-
-Use Paladin
-Max block & Max res
-Lightning absorption is 100% necessary if you run act 5 (better to just do Nihl and that is it on act 5)
-Damage Reduction over 30%.
-Manually stop the bot AT A SAFE time (when he is in town or safely BO'ing, or when you pause it with delete key)....can use remote desktop for this.
-Health should be over 2.6k after BO from your CTA
-Chicken set to ~50% HP
I hope that helps!

This is a D2R thing as there is a few second gap before data fully says you are out. what d2r does is even tho you leave game, in that 2sec gap if you die your player state gets overwrote with you died state. Only way to solve this is to higher the thresh on chicken or ask d2r to remove this delay or ignore any dmg after leave happened.

Did you try to change pickit file being used to see if crash was fixed after the pickit change?

just curious did your sorc die to wave 3 of baal?
because there is a known bug that is not fixed from d2r part. light+fire enchanted council will explode upon death and it will insta kill u. it nuked many people from 2khp to zero.
So i have successfully left the game with zhipei tool leaving at 5% and 15% but coming back to a dead body sometimes on login, so i guess on hardcore the default chicken setting should be like 75% by the sounds of things? What is a suggested hardcore setting for chicken not just for jieguan but also zhipei? Someone the other day mentioned they got killed because of the map hack portion of zhipei with the lines draw causing them to crash and so the game froze and you know the rest of how that goes. Maybe there is a way to kick your character offline by automating a password reset and login tool to kill the current session faster, as i have noticed when sharing accounts if i login it won't usually kick the other person off anyways if they're already in game it just won't let me login.
If you would please read the post i made or admins post above as ive explained this and its not a bot issue its a d2r issue.
Here is video proof that the bot is only as good as you set it up
You crashing may be attributed to pickit misconfiguration.
Also due to the cornhorn members that are not moderators/admins cannot edit their own posts, there is other people viewing this site and your constructive conversations are what we are here for resolving problems and questions raised, we are not concerned about drama, we are looking for solutions to problems. If you have a problem and are looking for a solution, you should leave your emotion out of it as well. There is no room for any clowning around. Maybe take that behavior to discord where the IQ level matches disgruntled users who don't read. Next time you're angry just know you look stupid.
