Exilebuddy will be undergoing extended maintenance for the 3.1.0 expansion this Friday.

There is no ETA for the doiwntime, but since this is a larger expansion, the downtime window is expected to be several days at minimal and possibly up to a week or so depending on the final client changes.

Please be patient as the updates are done as they will take time. Any progress updates will be posted to this thread as needed as the days go on.

Thank you for your understanding!
 
Exilebuddy is now down for maintenance as the realm has been taken offline for patching.
 
Update 1:

Updates are well under way, and things aren't looking too bad. There have been numerous internal client changes that will cause this update to run longer than previous ones though.

We do not expect a Beta test until possibly the late end of this week.
 
We're about ready for our first Beta test, so we'll be preparing for a release some time Friday. Here are the current patch notes for the upcoming build.

  • The new map tab is unsupported and there are no plans to support that tab moving forward due to the complexity of the underlying inventory system used for it.
  • A simple Abyss plugin has been added.
  • Item.IsShaperItem added for the cosmic background items.
  • Item.IsElderItem added for the tentacle background items.
  • InstanceInfo.ElderInfluencedAreas added.
  • InstanceInfo.ShaperInfluencedAreas added.
  • The quest to move the fuel carts in "The Beacon" is now much more combat intensive. Changes have been made to prevent the routine from locking up on infinite monsters, but if your character does not have good defenses or enough aoe DPS, chances are it'll get stuck or die a lot now. Please monitor this quest manually to be sure your bots can get through it.
  • OldRoutine updates:
    • Changes have been made to work around the quest changes of the fuel cart quest in "The Beacon" area.
    • Orb of Storms is now cast on a fixed interval.
  • StashTabInfo updates:
    • InventoryId will return 0 for the new unsupported map tabs. Check against IsPremiumMap to avoid possible logic issues if you're using this member.
    • DisplayIndex is now an ushort.
    • Added LinkedParentId which is related to the new changes for map tabs.
    • InventoryTabPermissions enum added.
    • InventoryTabType enum added to handle the different types of tabs (normal, currency, etc...).
    • InventoryTabFlags enum added to handle the new tab flags.
    • InventoryTabMapSeries enum added for the 4 map series types listed on the tab.
    • MemberFlags now returns a type of 'InventoryTabPermissions' rather than an 'int'.
    • OfficerFlags now returns a type of 'InventoryTabPermissions' rather than an 'int'.
    • MapSeries added (InventoryTabMapSeries enum).
    • IsPremiumMap added.
    • IsPremiumSpecial now checks IsPremiumMap.
    • TabType added to expose the new tab types. This is what the 'Is' properties check against.
    • TabFlags added to expose the new tab flags. This is what the 'Is_Flagged' properties check against.
    • To avoid confusion due to internal tab data changes, and the dual meaning of 'premium':
      • IsPremium now refers to the Premium standard stash tab (the standard size with color header). Before, it would refer to any non-standard stash tab. This is for consistency with the other Is properties, such as IsPremiumQuad or IsPremiumEssence.
      • IsPremiumFlagged has been added to refer to any non-standard stash tab that has the premium flag on it. All non-standard tabs are premium flagged currently.
      • For consistency: IsPublic -> IsPublicFlagged, IsRemoveOnly -> IsRemoveOnlyFlagged, IsHidden -> IsHiddenFlagged to help avoid confusion with the premium wording.
  • TransitionTypes.Labyrinth added for Labyrinth area transitions (type 5) as they otherwise would show up as 'Unknown'.
  • InventoryControl.HasRewardTabOverride added to distinguish the new RewardUi controls.
  • RewardUi changes
    • InventoryControl removed as there is no longer one inventory control for the reward UI.
    • InventoryControls added, which is a list of InventoryControlWrappers that represent all the quest rewards.
    • Use the 'CustomTabItem' property to get the item with these InventoryControlWrappers as you would with any other special tab. The id-less variants of the API have to be used for these controls as with the other special tabs.
  • SocketColor.Abyss added.
  • Socket matching logic updated to properly match Abyss and White sockets.
  • LinkedSocketColors, SocketedSkillGemsByLinks, and SocketedGems are now properly logged in Item.Dump.
  • To avoid breaking changes, various places where the "Skill Gem" text is used will be kept as-is rather than rename to account for the fact Abyss Jewels can now be equipped.
  • InventoryControlWrapper.EquipSkillGem updated to handle Abyss Jewels.
  • MapComponent.MapSeries added and is exposed through Item.MapSeries.
  • StashUi.MapTab placeholder added, but there's no API support for that tab.
  • Updates for 3.1.0.5
  • Updates for 3.1.0.4
  • Updates for 3.1.0.3
  • Updates for 3.1.0.2
  • Updates for 3.1.0.1

There were a lot of client changes in this expansion, so we expect people to find random little things that are broken with the API. We'll test as much as possible to address the obvious stuff, but it's not possible to comprehensively test everything, so as usual we warn users to make sure they remember to monitor their bots to watch out for things that break.

OldRoutine Changes: https://gist.github.com/pushedx/ed659de9afda487c7f3576179c34c6da/revisions

This is a paste of the current OldRoutine with the changes made for the Fuel Carts quest.

There are two issues these temporary changes address:
1 - Avoid combat chaining away from the fuel carts endlessly and never progressing in the quest by preventing movement towards the best target.
2 - Avoid infinite combat near the fuel carts and never progressing in the quest due to the new endless mob spawning by not executing combat logic for a small fixed period of time.

We plan a new routine system for 3.1+, but with frequent game mechanic changes such as this, we always see new things to consider in the design.

So for now, we've made these changes so QB is able to progress through the quest. It's not pretty, but it should work for now.
 
As a heads up, the estimated beta deployment window will be around 12-16 hours from this post or so. If there's another late night patch deployed before then, it'll most likely be pushed back a bit depending on the contents.
 
Sorry guys, we need to push our initial beta back until later today (Saturday).

It was just a bit too hard on me time zone wise to make it on the previously estimated time. Since there was no patch, we just need to merge our final updates and make an addendum thread to our 3.0 release thread.

Thank you for your understanding and we hope to be back soon!
 
Beta #1627 has just been deployed!

Please be sure to read the release thread addendum. An initial Release build will most likely be made early this week, once the initial bugs and issues are addressed over the weekend.

Please keep in mind this was a large expansion and there's bound to be issues, so please bear with us as more testing is done and we work to solve any reported issues.

Thank you for your patience!
 
Our estimated (read, not promised) time frame window for a Release has been moved up to roughly a window of 4 hours at minimal rather than waiting another day. While there are a lot of updates still to do, things appear to be stable enough to the point of us not wanting to keep people waiting.

At the time of a Release build being pushed, keys that expired before the downtime will get an extension. If you bought a key during the downtime, you will need to e-mail support for your missing time.

We thank all our users for their patience during this massive update, and we hope to continue to keep the updates and improvements coming!
 
Release #321 has just been deployed! Downtime compensation will be given out soon.

Please keep in mind additional patches and updates are expected for the next few weeks, as that's always the case with these expansions, but we'll try our best to keep things going.
 
An update for the 3.1.1.3 minor patch that was deployed 5 hours ago will be deployed in roughly 2 hours.
 
Beta #1631 (Release #323 is building next) has been deployed for tonight's 3.1.1c update!
 
Beta #1632 (Release #324 is building next) has been deployed (15m ago) for the early morning 3.1.1d update!
 
Beta #1634 (Release #325 is building next) has just been deployed (30m ago) to update the API to handle the "Shaper" item name change in 3.1+.
 
Another update will be coming soon to fix the MapTier in the API for the Shaper 3.1 changes. Right now it's not being correctly calculated on newly shaped maps.
 
Beta #1639 (Release #326 is building next) has been deployed with the next set of content updates as well as an API fix for the map tier issue on Shaped maps.
 
Beta #1638 (Release #327 is building next) has been deployed for tonight's patch and a few other minor bug fixes.

We hope to post a 2018 roadmap within the next few weeks going over our plans for addressing the two major areas of improvement EB needs: a new routine system and pathfinding library updates!
 
It's about that time of year again where we need to start doing various updates to the packages Exilebuddy uses to keep on top of bug fixes, security updates, and other performance improvements.

In the next update the following packages will be affected:
* AvalonEdit updated from 5.0.3 to 5.0.4
* DotNetCompilerPlatform updated from 1.0.5 to 1.0.8
* Microsoft.Net.Compilers updated from 2.3.1 to 2.6.1
* The package "MahApps.Metro.IconPacks" was added.
Click to expand...

This will result in a new file "MahApps.Metro.IconPacks.dll" being added.

We do not expect any side-effects of these updates, but there's always a possibility, so please report any issues with full logs in Support forums as soon as possible.
