Here it is. The much anticipated ZG profile and plug-in! This will farm trash inside Zul'Gurub for reputation and drops which can be turned in for more rep or sold on the AH. Since ZG is being removed in Cataclysm there is a push to get exalted and these rep items are in demand. The bot will likely die a few times in pulls due to crowd control abilities of the trash. The axe throwers have a whirlwind AoE stun ability that lasts about 10 seconds. Priests have a bubble that makes them immune to magic for 10 seconds. Several other mobs have knockbacks that can send you flying into other packs of adds. But don't worry, the plug-in will zone you back into the instance re-start the bot whenever you die. If your bags are full or need to repair plug-in will zone you outside and switch ZG2.xml profile until your bags are emptied, and afterwards zone back inside the instance.


INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download InstanceHelper.cs to your Plugins directory.
2. Download ZG.xml and ZG2.xml to your C:\Profiles directory.
Note: If you place them elsewhere you need to edit InstanceHelper.cs.
3. Click 'Recompile All' in HonorBuddy under Plugins tab.
4. Select InstanceHelper plug-in and check 'Enabled'
4. Load the ZG.xml profile if you are inside the instance or outside as a ghost
-otherwise- load ZG2.xml (These should be under C:\Profiles - see step 2)
5. Click Start. (Note: Latest version I have tested is 1.9.6.1)

Notes about the profile:
I didn't complete all the areas inside ZG and someone could easily add missing hot spots using the comments as a guide. Alliance will need to update the vendor and mailbox in ZG2.xml. I had best results with randomize hot spots since that way after a death you will likely take a different route, or if you can't handle some pull you won't just go back there and die repeatedly. You can use the profile without the plug-in, you will just need to manually zone in and restart when you die.

Notes about the plug-in:
The plug-in I tried to write in generic way that it could be re-used for other instance farming (e.g. Baron mount runs). I wrote this tool before Dungeonbuddy was released and before InstanceBuddy was revived. Special thanks to raphus for the original InstanceBuddy which made this all possible.

Voodoo Piles: I have left looting of these disabled by default since they can proc a mind control debuff that will pull a lot of adds if you have a pet out. If you want to enable looting of voodoo piles then edit the plug-in and uncomment the relevant section.

Note about crashes: I still get occasional crashes (after several deaths and HB restarts). Not sure what is the cause. Might make sense to integrate this with Dungeonbuddy if it runs more stable.

so you do this with a lock?
demo spec?
whats the gs of your lock?

My lock is 5k GS. I had to make a few tweaks to skiWarlock class to make it run more smoothly. I used affliction spec with Voidwalker tanking. Use corruption on adds and you will heal quite a bit with siphon life talent. Also, I edited the CC to make Corruption highest cast priority. It runs fairly well but sometimes dies iwth big spider pulls, whenever you get more than 2 axe throwers, raptor packs, two bat packs, etc. Usually when it dies it kills a few so the pull is easier next time it is encountered.
 
ok sweet, can you pass your lock cs as well i will give it a crack on my lock
he is 5k in pvp gear so has high hp but i think i have him demo/destro...
 
Is it possible to use the plugin on it's own?

I want to run my Paladin/Hunter combo through ZG for mounts/rep/etc. But I want to control the Pally tank manually while the Hunter follows and helps DPS. Is this possible with the plugin?

Sure, just put the Hunter bot in RaF mode while grouped with the Pally as leader. You don't need the plug-in to do that, just the ZG.xml profile. The plug-in just zones you back in when you die, and zones out for repair/mail.

Cool, thanks.

Make sure that you load ZG.xml if you are inside the instance, or if your corpse is inside the instance. If you are outside the instance you need to load ZG2.xml and it will repair/mail if you have less than 30 free bag slots before running inside. You can try to increase the timer before restarting Honorbuddy after a loading screen. It is currently set at 20 seconds (20000ms). Just search for that value in the plug-in and change it. I encounter crashes very rarely (and it's usually WoW that crashed, not HB).

Edit: One more thing, try disabling your other plug-ins, since most plug-ins are not "loading screen friendly".

Testing on DK will let you know how it goes

EDIT:

Works well, some probs with it just standing outside the instance restarting HB but that is because I was messing with it in between, after I restarted HB it worked fine, farmed 1500 rep in one clear and made about 500g from coins and bijous on the AH they sold quick...

I think I might do this a few times a day just to get the rep b4 cata

thanks a bunch!

This sounds a browser-related issue. Yes the link is to php but the page it loads should open a Save dialog for the file as well. Try to right-click on the link and do "Save Target As...". And if that doesn't work, then I recommend you to download Firefox.

Glad it is working well for you! I'm sure it runs more smoothly on your DK than my squishy lock =P.
