2.13

I highly recommend a clean reinstall for this update - config.txt and card_details.txt changed a lot

If you are using windows.zip you will have to install .net Runtime 6.0:

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-6.0.5-windows-x64-installer

Re-enabled Features:

• Quest claiming/requesting is enabled again

New Features:

• The bot will now display the current focus element in the summary table
• The bot will now display how many times you won with the focus element

NEW config parameters (see updated config-example.txt):

• MAX_LEAGUE_TIER=4 - the maximum league the bot will advance to

NEW card settings parameters (see updated card_settings.txt):

• USE_FOCUS_ELEMENT_WINRATE_TRESHOLD=60 - If PRIORITIZE_QUEST=true then the API will always try to play the focus element, unless it can not find a team with a winrate >= this
• PREFERRED_SUMMONER_ELEMENTS=dragon,death,fire,earth,water,life - Example: You only want to play earth and fire elements if the bot is not fighting for the quest focus: earth,fire
• PREFERRED_SUMMONER_ELEMENTS_WINRATE_TRESHOLD=48 - If the API can not find a team with your preferred summoner elements with a winrate >= this it will chose a team without element restrictions applied
• DISABLE_OWNED_CARDS_PREFERENCE_BEFORE_CHEST_LEAGUE_RATING=true - Example: If you finished in silver last season the card ownership modifiers above will only be applied once you are in silver or higher
• DISABLE_FOCUS_PRIORITY_BEFORE_CHEST_LEAGUE_RATING=true - Example: If you finished in silver last season the bot will not prioritize the quest focus element before you are in silver or higher

REMOVED config parameters (see updated config-example.txt):

• IGNORE_ECR_FOR_QUEST - With the new reward system it is no longer needed
• DONT_CLAIM_QUEST_NEAR_HIGHER_LEAGUE - With the new reward system it is no longer needed
• WAIT_FOR_MISSING_CP_AT_QUEST_CLAIM - With the new reward system it is no longer needed
• MINIMUM_LEAGUE_FOR_QUEST_CLAIM - With the new reward system it is no longer needed

Again a big thank you to @chaylins and @0xh3m4n7 for helping me to create the new API which is making these new card settings possible

v2.12

I recommend to enable the new API:

Setup the new API:

1. Download this update
2. Change your API Urls by adding v2/ to both API_URL and PRIVATE_API_URL (if you use it)
   Example: API_URL=http://splinterlandsapi.pcjones.de:8080/v2/
   If you want to go back to the old API just remove the v2/ at the end
3. If you are using your old config files make sure to replace/supplement your card_settings.txt with this updated one:
   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PCJones/Ultimate-Splinterlands-Bot-V2/master/Resources/config/card_settings.txt

Some information about the new API:

• It should give you much better winrates
• It will play a lot more different teams than the old one
• It will try to avoid playing starter cards if possible, however for the private API it might take up to 20 minutes after the first battle of an account until starter card detection is working correctly - before that, the API will probably think you own 100% of the cards you play (and it will say so in the API team response).
• Quest Priority is working - however in contrast to the old API, the new one will ALWAYS play the quest color even if the winrate is very bad. This will be changed soon.
• Adding zero mana cards is not working at the moment, this feature will definitely come though

Patch notes:

Disabled Features:

• Quest/Focus claiming is disabled for this version. It will be enabled again in the next update

New Features:

• The bot will now randomly wait for 60-300 seconds if splinterlands is responding with a 429 ("Too many requests") status code
• The bot will now show the amount of cards you own in the API team response
• Updated cardsDetails.json to include the new reward cards
• Added support for the new quests (focuses)

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug where the bot would not submit a team because it thought the enemy surrendered
• Fixed a bug where the bot sometimes sent the wrong account to sleep
• Fixed enemy surrendered message on old windows systems
• Fixed brand new accounts with 0 games not being able to play
• Fixed generel sloan not being in starter cards
• Possibly fixed threads getting stuck forever

API Updates:

• Added experimental support for the new, improved API.

A big thank you to @chaylins and @0xh3m4n7 for helping me to create the new API - I couldn't have done it without them

v2.12-beta-3

Read carefully if you want to test the new API!

Setup the new API:

1. Download this update
2. Change your API Urls by adding v2/ to both API_URL and PRIVATE_API_URL (if you use it)
   Example: API_URL=http://splinterlandsapi.pcjones.de:8080/v2/

• Quest Priority is working - however in contrast to the old API, the new one will ALWAYS play the quest color even if the winrate is very bad. The reason for that is that the reward rework will get out in a few days, so it's not worth to fix this for the remaining season.
• Adding zero mana cards is not working at the moment, this feature will definitely come though
