Stealthcore Scheduler: Error - Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[Praise_the_Sun]

Hi Folks,

For the life of me I can't get Stealthcore's scheduler working via loading text schedule file working. I'm using more than 10 accounts.



Is the format not Account_Name|Task|*|False|Waiting..|No ? Where * and False are start and end times?

It looks like manual scheduling always produces a start time. Is this the problem?



When I load a schedules file for my logged-in accounts I get: Once-A-Day Dailies Error - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I've only had luck manually recreating the schedule each and every time. Haven't been able to load a preset schedule yet.



I'd also like to know the best method of loading different schedules. Is it copy and pasting over the Schedules.txt file with other text?

Your help is so very appreciated!

The schedule format is correct, I normally do it manually but tested now for science

It seems the first account go through dailies normally but when next one is coming the error arises (only for a preloaded schedule with Dailies task). It goes through if you make the schedule manual, which wouldn't be so comfortable doing for many accounts.

Have you tried doing the tasks separately instead of Once Dailies? Yeah I know it's longer and defeats the purpose of Once a Dailies task, but wouldn't hurt to try?

If you can load your Schedules.txt (which yes this is the one and only file SC uses) you would need to do the list once and then copy, paste or rename according to your needs.

Just asking because I was able to do different tasks with the second account with no troubles.

Let me know how it goes! The "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" for the rest of accounts may be something that would need code intervention, speaking blindly here because I'm not sure what triggers it for everything but the first acc.

You're right. Avoiding the once a day daily task seems to fix this problem.

For those interested/lurking, I wrote a simple python program to autoformat a list. It doesn't have scheduling beyond "start now" essentially, but it's a good baseline. Happy to adjust it if people want/I might do because I want it. It also randomizes the tasks:

Some tasks do still seem to cause crashes and I'm troubleshotting. Simply comment out or delete tasks you don't want to run. Remove or comment out

# Randomize the list of formatted tasks
random.shuffle(all_formatted_tasks)

if you don't want them randomized. That will create a schedule in the order of the given list.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Also getting System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero.

TIME PM[Account 1]: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero.
...
TIME PM[Account 2]: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero.

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero.
Parameter name: length
   at System.String.Substring(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length)

This indicates that somewhere in the code, there is likely a substring operation or similar string manipulation that is not correctly handling the string input it is given. The error message points to the System.String.Substring method, which fails when the specified parameters are out of the bounds of the string being processed. Perhaps review the code handling this?

- - - Updated - - -

Going back to manually setting daily operations. Loading the individual task lists is causing crashes later in the schedule.

@(you need an account to see links) that's a nice list generator!

I would suggest to add a bit of difference on start times for the tasks to give SC some breath, especially when using many accounts (and the forever lag on the site). In the past I noticed some tasks crashed the program so a good idea would be to start filtering tasks too.

Begin with a shorter and simpler llist and go from there.

For example, I don't do fishing, lottery (I know don't hate me for this T_T), the different rounds, auto pricer, refreshers, games or collecting either because of past crashes or just simply lack of interest from me (I mean I like to shorten my time haha).

Maybe choose 20 easy tasks first, leave 3 seconds among each one and begin to test. Once you get a batch going the rest is trial and error.

For the times you could use an array by incrementing 2/3 secs on each start_time_item and then pass to your "Generate formatted task for each account" block.

Starting times:
+ for task1
+0:0:2 for task2
+0:0:4 for next
+0:0:6 next
......
and so on

Don't be afraid to play with times.

Very curious about your results! I'm so settled on my lazy configurations that it's been a while since I tried different stuff, but I'm following this for science

If you were open to sharing anonymized configurations in dms it might save a lot of time and energy. Though I will experiment regardless. Eager to get something dependable solved and augment from there.

If anyone's curious:

It turns out breaking up all of the once-a-day dailies across tens of accounts (making discrete tasks) has a high likelihood of crashing StealthCore.

However, the one-a-day dailies task assignment (not its constitutents), seems to play nice with many accounts.

My hypothesis is that once-a-day dailies the task has some built in handling to avoid overwhelming / causing an exception and subsequent crash.

In my attempts to generate via python, schedule.txt files, it has never accepted once-a-day dailies as a task it will execute (note to respect case sensitivity). Only the discrete tasks with the corrected formatting. The actual scheduler builder and official export functions do not export a timing format that StealthCore is able to load.

I'm still experimenting with workarounds. Weird things like automating interacting with the UI so I'm not manually assigning the once-a-day tasks to many accounts over and over again. Launching the program itself via external scripts to function like an external scheduler etc.

For what it's worth, if you click right arrow key twice with the accounts dropdown active, it will move to the next account in the dropdown list. So it's a bit less tedious to schedule (I have a tremor so fine motor function is a pain in the butt )

I recognize it's not necessarily built for many accounts, but I'm moreso motivated to do that.
