[Bot] (Beta) DungeonBuddy - A Dungeon bot.

[botorific]

Fail role check / dungeon queue pops

Hi - getting this issue fairly often in my 5 man bot group. Usually a DPS or a healer won't pass the role checks or que for the dungeons after a few runs. So things start out fine - they just break down after several runs.

Not sure if the log will help or not, but here it is.

Re: Bots not moving to "Loading Titles"

I haven't experienced this issue so far. If I did it would be so much easier for me to fix. Only thing I can do is dig through logs and hopefully find some sort of pattern.

Here's my theory:

"Loading Tiles" was one of the last messages at the bottom of the HB window - but isn't actually the problem. I've noticed several times now messages that are bugged out and not accurate. For instance, it says something like "waiting to pull" etc. but the Tank is already in the fight. Or another example that I'm looking at right now, "Honorbuddy Stopped" but the bot is running. I will post a log(s) next time I experience it.

Hey, I tried all the above ways and it does not work: They will not fight.

I tried it on new fresh install, I tried it on old install that used to work, I tried making the changes you recommend by all the means you recommended: they won't fight. They don't target the mobs. They just get pounded on. The druid makes a vain attempt at saving her own life but they all gang up on her after the others are dead.

I just updated 'A brewing Storm' script has a min ago, Fixed several bugs and improved the escort behavior. This is my favorite scenario, only took 9 min and 40 seconds for the entire run using 3 dps.
Update: slipped in another update fixing issue where bots wouldn't talk to Blanche

Cata Dungeon - Black Rock Caverns

Hi again. Here are logs from my recent trip to Black Rock Caverns. Rom'ogg Bonecrusher issues as described a while back with similar problems on other fights. Including logs from 2 DPS. What I want to point out is after chains of woe are down, the group does not run from Skull *****er.

Now...I outgear this fight currently, so he dies pretty fast - but he still begins casting skull *****er and they haven't run for a very long time.

Also in this log - Corla. The group is not handling the transformation streams properly. More than 1 party member attempts to block a stream causing issues. Once again, they haven't handed this fight properly in a long time. (release .517 was the last time I experienced fights that were handled properly - beating a dead horse, I know, sorry!!! I never supplied logs - hoping it might help)

I couldn't see anything in log indicating whats causing this issue.. This is a sign that HB's lua event handler isn't functioning anymore. Possible causes are bot was logged out of game briefly or there was a /reload command issued in WoW while hb was running.

An interesting log entry.
[21:37:47.586 Q] Bot Stopped! Reason: Auth Session is invalid.
I never seen HB fully recover from an invalid session without needing a restart. maybe something to it.

Damn you! Hahaha I've never managed better than 10m00s exactly but I've never gone in without a healer...

I'll go give it a shot in a few minutes and let you know what happens.

EDIT:

Yeah, so still nothing. They just won't fight. I'm attaching the 1MB 2min long log file for the leader, which like the last one, is full of the same, repeating error. I also saw this just before and after the bot is started; don't know if it's relevant:

Blackrock Caverns - I think I got something in this log!

Highvoltz!!! Check THIS out - log says fighting Corla lasted xx seconds - I wasn't fighting Corla I was fighting Zon'ozz. I hope this helps identify something!!!!

Maybe the reason the fight isn't working by design, the script thinks I'm on Corla already...

The xml errors can be ignored, the other errors are whats causing your issues however. I would try closing WoW and cleaning WoW's cache ( by deleting the entire Cache folder in WoW's folder)

The was a known mesh issue though i thought it was fixed. Could be the fix isn't live yet.

 

[highvoltz]

Highvoltz -

Please remove the leave and rejoin when people die and release. It just does not work well. No one ever leaves and re joins.. Ever. Even when new players join it is up to them to get to you.

Please also stop it from using Mammoths ONLY when in instances... Just rapes pathing. Please make it use the mount selected in the settings..

The port out and port in behavior is there as a pre-caution for situations where the person that died and released can't make it back to group on their own e.g from trash re-spawns or something. Maybe it could be improved to only port out and back in if player dies x amount without reaching group.
Edit: I changed my mind about mounting. I'll keep the logic in but it'll check your mount settings.

Highvoltz -
Drak Tharon Keep - After it passes King Dredd, if it leaves and re enters it will then go back to King Dredd before going anywhere else.

Fixed but not live yet.

Okie dokie. I'll try this in a bit.

EDIT:

No, SSDD. I deleted everything (both folders) under my wow's cache folder, even deleted the WTF for the Hell of it. Created a new folder and new install of HB too. Nothing new. NO FIGHTING. Same errors too.

I'm curious though: you've said that you have made fixes over the past few days, etc... yet the DB version number has remained v368; is that normal?

I'm not attaching the logs because they haven't changed. Same stuff, same guys, same errors. Bummer.

Thanks for all your help though.

EDIT 2:

EVEN DELETED THE HB Meshes folder, just to try that. No good. Here are the logs anyway. Everything went right EXCEPT they won't fight.

I have to admit I'm running out of ideas and I apologize for for the inconvenience. There is nothing strange in the follower1 log. The reason it's not attacking I understand . Followers will not attack stuff the tank/ leader has not tagged. In scenario the leader is picked based on spec > highest Health pool. In next release followers will defend themselves regardless if tank/leader tags a mob.

The real issue is happening on your leader. I can not trace the issue directly because of the obfuscation but I know it has something to do with items in your bag. If you're still up to try some things you can try manually vendering trash loot, restocking on food etc to see if this makes any difference.

In my bag? Really? OK, you got it HV. I will do this butt naked "FOR SCIENCE"!! (and with empty bags, of course). Stay tuned...

EDIT:

Holy S#!t Batman! OMG! WTF? LOL I emptied my bags COMPLETELY and everything works! What's up with that? How can I know WHAT exactly is/was screwing this up? How does an item in my bags screw with targeting on the leader? Did you by chance see a specific item number? Do you have any idea what I should look for in the very long list of things I emptied from my bags?

I'm elated to know that it works again and I'm frustrated that there's no obvious way to know what specific item is/was messing with the leader's targeting. *ANY* idea what to look forward would be welcome.

I noticed that the pathing in A Brewing Storm seems a lot better.

I also noticed that all 3 bots always run together to the same fire to extenguish it; is there a better way where the bots can tell eachother "I got this!" and send the other bots to other fires? Seems awfully inefficient to have them almost always all go to the same fires.

GREAT JOB HV! WoW! I'm dunbfounded. What the HELL is in my bags that's messing this up?

Thanks SO MUCH!

 

[botorific]

Congrats fixing that!

How many bag slots did you have left?

What is the setting in you config to return and sell/mail?

The bots tend to get less reliable over time...they get gummed up zoning out, repairing, buying food, mailing, etc.

Yours must have been stuck in some state where it wanted to dump something and couldn't move on, even though it would perform other tasks.

...empty all our bags...GOOD TO KNOW! (doing it now on all my toons lol)

 

[vibrator]

NOOOO MY WHOLE OFFSPEC DPS-SET!!!! ://

I was just gonna try Dungeonbuddy out, and my char goes to a vendor and sells literally EVERY piece of my OS feral-gear :/ And I cant get it back via buyback because it sold bunch of other crap too...

Just a warning to people trying this out, it seems to instantly go to vendor and sell all your blue/greens.

you can go to battle.net support tab there is an item restoration feature thats instant now you can do this every 30 days you can go through and see everything you ever vendored destroyed disenchasnted and it will come to you in the mail as soon as you do it but you have to pay the gold you got from the vendor back or have the mats in your bagfs if you disenchanted it In YOUR BAGS not gbank or personal bank must be on your character

Scenario: Fall of Theramore still not moving ahead to Stage 4 & Final Stage

OK, I'm very happy this is working again, thanks so much. I just completed The Fall of Theramore and ...

This all brings me back to my post in this thread 6 days ago about the Fall of Theramore scenario (for which I do not believe I saw a response) and the bots not moving ahead to Jaina Proudmore to begin Stage 4 or the Final Stage. Please review that post, linked here:

http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/plugins/featured-botbases/59800-bot-beta-dungeonbuddy-dungeon-bot-97.html#post966574

I'm not uploading additional info because after the run that finished minutes ago, everything was the same. Everything went fine except as described so I intervened.

Let me know.

Scenario: Crypt of Forgotten Kings

In the aforementioned scenario, is there any chance of telling the bots to RUN the Hell AWAY from the Abomination of Anger when he's about to use his "Deathforce"? That s#!t is deadly! and the bots have no clue. It's announced in the chat frame before he actually unleashes it so there IS time to react.

Going through all the scenarios as best I can...

Thanks for them all!

bot just wouldn't start in BRD, worked well the first time in there when the last boss was the one just around the corner.

I don't see anything in log that gives a clue to why bot isn't working for you.
