[BETA] ArchaeologyBuddy - An Archaeology Bot (with flying)

[cagefighter]

Raphus I just wanted to say I love all the things you put out, this is very impressive! cant wait for all the kinks to be worked out top notch stuff brother.

This is pretty amazing, and in time I'm sure it'll be even more amazing.

I honestly haven't heard of buddy programs, googled arch bot and you guys popped up, bought life time and now I'm enjoying this even though it's still beta and buggy... thank you so much.

welcome to the community

More problems. It seems you guys are not checking if you can fully path to a point before you attempt to navigate to it. This caused my character to constantly want to run into a wall, as I believe the point generated after surveying was inside of this unreachable building. Also, your behavior tree must look horrid, as it continually tries to path to that point, even though I have stopped the bot, and collected any nodes in the area. I suggest you guys use a decorator which checks if the archaeology spot still exists before running ANY logic dealing with collecting from it.

Or, if it runs as I believe, reset the global variables that you guys must have (terrible way of doing it btw) upon stopping the bot.

re read what you wrote please. I have already taken my .NET101 class

My toon won't travel to Un'Goro Crater for some reason

2nd problem is see is that the bot running into walls sometimes. If the new survey point is behind or in a wall the bot always trying to move trough the wall

But most of it works without a problem Nice work

this is due to navigational errors there is nothing that can be done about this until flying is properly integrated into hb

Quick question: since navigation seems to be the main problem atm, is there anyway to disable it so I can just fly to the areas myself and have it just dig for me?

Thanks Raphus, you did it again

Well just only turn on the bot when you're in a dig site. That's what I'm mostly doing right now since it doesn't fly directly to the dig site but instead uses the roads, etc.

So fly straight there and land. Turn on the bot, watch it do the three digs, then stop HB, mount up, and fly to the next site. Rinse repeat.

Used to be a plugin to toggle HB on and off, it worked like a charm, but it is no longer updated

Perfect! still makes the bot great since the digging part is the brain usage part... I can just watch tv while this thing does the hard work. Thanks!

I remember that plugin used to make my pc blue screen of death before i got a new one HbToggle i believe it was called

Edit: what would be really useful is a plugin with a shortcut to make hb go to the next waypoint to solve some of the stuck issues

What is your experience so far from using it? I can't let it run alone more then 30 mins. Until then he got stuck in a tree or keeps standing arround doing nothing.

Well while this works some of the time, other times even though I'm in a dig site it'll still start loading the navigation mesh thing.

Hrm. Although it seems to not like that every so often. Looks like it has a forced list that it goes by no matter how close you are to a different dig site when you start it. Crud.

Yeah. But it is Beta, so that's okay. I never bot fully unattended anyway. Too many chances for something to go asplodey. I normally have a 2nd eye on it while doing other things.

Mine just stands still saying "downloading mesh", doing nothing
