when my bot is running and a node is taking more that 20 sec, i think its blacklisting right? this list dissapear after each reset of honorbuddy or?
Blacklisting i think, isn?t that reset after like 5 minutes?
Hi,
Colloo,
(In this response, we're using both the words black
list and black
spot. Please keep a sharp eye for which is being discussed while reading.)
Gatherbuddy1 (a long time ago, and not in use today) used a profile as one would expect, and it also maintained a second file of "blacklisted nodes". Gatherbuddy1 auto-blacklisted nodes it had problems with. It wrote these blacklisted nodes into a persistent file (which you could edit to add or remove nodes). Thus, in GB1, if a node was ever blacklisted, it was blacklisted forever (unless you edited the file to remove it). If in its traversal, GB1 again auto-blacklisted the node (that was removed by a previous edit), it would put an entry right back into that file, and you'd be permanently skipping that node again.
----------
Gatherbuddy2 (what is in use today) changed things...
There is no "blacklisted node" file any more. Instead, As
Bengan12 stated, a problematic node is blacklisted
in memory for 5 minutes or so. This means that the blacklist doesn't persist from start-of-GB2 to start-of-GB2. If such things are needed, it is now up to the profile to place a black
spot on any area that contains nodes that are not to be visited. The profile indirectly contributes black
listed nodes that persist across GB2 sessions by identifying black
spots on the terrain that contains problematic nodes.
Additionally, as Gatherbuddy2 traverses the profile waypoints, it will automatically blacklist nodes that it deems problematical (perhaps they are too far under water). When GB2 auto-blacklists things, they blacklist entry only stays around for 5mins or so, and does not persist across Gatherbuddy2 sessions.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
