MESHing Question.

[Bliss]

I read some guides and learned all the basics of how to mesh and profile.
I only had a few questions that puzzled me.

I know what a profile is, basically rules that you set for HB. But a mesh? A mesh is for navigating the bot around right? Basically a map nothing more nothing less.

When creating a profile I notice you have to space stuff like <Avoid Mob> and <Mailbox> can't you just indent? Instead of spacing x1000?

And last, what is the difference between HB1 and HB2? Is it just the layout, questing, and the fact that HB2 can only use CC's designed for HB2?

If you could help that'd be great, Thanks.

HB2 downloads meshes from the server, HB1 doesnt. So HB1 needs an XML profile and a mesh file, HB2 only needs a profile.

Mesh Question: You are correct, just a map.

Indenting Can be usefull if your using notepad, but people do spacing because some people use Visual Studio to make them. Also, you do not HAVE to space them, it just makes it look neater and easier to edit.

HB1 is no longer updated, and is used for RAF mainly, HB2 is mainly used for grinding/questing/PvP. Also, with HB1 you have to make your own Mesh, with HB2 you download them from the HB servers.

i like to pass on an anwer i once received

"HB2 is just a nickname used for the new navigation and questing features - anything above 1.333 is considered "HB2". The current newest version is 1.9.2.5 for stable (non-questing) and 1.9.3.1 for beta (questing). " thanks Sky
of course the latest vers now is 1.9.5.5
cheers

So should I use HB2 because HB1 is no longer updated? And that makes sense to just make a profile, but where can I get the meshes? Mezz said that it downloads it from the server, but what if the mesh that is on the server isn't good, and I want to make it better?

The mesh from the server is brilliant. It works perfectly imo. No need to edit it

 

[Bliss]

Can you elaborate on the mesh from the server?
1) Where do I download it.
2) What does it work with.
3) And if I just download "a" mesh, can I create a custom profile for it?

 

[gimik]

When you enter a zone you've never been to before, if your using HB2 it will automatically start downloading the meshes for that zone.

In your guys opinion which do you like better for grinding? HB1 vs HB2. I really like the original one because I've never made a profile before and would like to try but I'm thinking it may be tedious and time consuming. But I haven't tried HB2 yet, and since it has it's own meshes I guess profile is going to be easy?
