Did Tony come up with a price/rate table yet?
Want to play some future investments ;-)
 
It will be $400 eur paid directly to me for beer funds. Tyvm.

Seriously though, we haven't discussed pricing yet, but expect it to be competitive.
 
I do see the economy getting more stable as people progress through the dailies stage, at least for pve progress the repairs aren't funny... Spent 200k last raid on repairs alone(lots of deaths to the grass boss).. And since I don't do any dailies it will start to hurt soon enough :)
 
I'm pretty excited, I came into HonorBuddy very late in the lifecycle, and I really enjoy doing BOT dev work from the ground up so I may actually be writing some stuff. And, I am one of those casual guys who is more concerned with not looking like a BOT so maybe things will get interesting.

So I'm guessing QuestBot and GrindBot?

Kick you're awesome, and no offense but the WoW quest profiles get stuck (A LOT); what can we do to make that happen less? Slightly more waypoints? Better internal path finding? Better behaviors?

Specifically I've noticed times when the bot will get stuck at a NPC and open and close dialog over and over because one condition is not "meet" and the bot/profile is not aware... I'm just rambling here but is this a profile issue or a bot base issue?

Anyway, another thing is that when a BOT creates the path between 2 way points it always uses the same path (the most direct?) it would be amazing if the BOT would plot Math.random()*# paths and select one at random. Seems silly and may wast time, but it is a strong anti detection measure. Nothing makes me more edgy than when I'm running several BOTS and they are all walking running and stacking on each other. Back in GW this was actually the major cause of BOTS getting reported... because they would just stack up on each other. I mention GW because there are aspects of this game that are like GW: instances, map travel, etc one big anti detection aspect of grind bots in GW was selecting a random farm spot from a large pool every 30 minutes or so add to that random path additions and your bot already looks much more human...

P.S. is there any type of recorder yet?

BTW, WTB GW BOT.

Click to expand...

mesh / nav issues, which i can try to add blackspots to - but ultimately it still goes back to mesh / nav issues, sadly

as far as the quest not complete issues... those i can fix - i've fixed most of them unless you're playing a weak character that dies a lot like a noob. then those quests will need to be brought to my attention (with a log) in the appropriate thread

I assumed it was mesh issues; but mostly it looks like the BOT is always trying to be as stream lined and fast as possible in moving and this often gets it stuck. Usually if it had attempted to take the most viable path instead of the most efficient it would succeed.

The specific quest I am thinking of would be the quests in helfire, for horde, where you do bomber missions; they almost need to be removed from the profile as they just don't work even with all the behaviors setup. I can't provide a log as I have no characters that are able to do the quests; but maybe next time I level a toon if I do any quests I can capture those. If it is a level issue the flaw is in the profile as I used it to level every time and every time the problem happens. You may need to add a short grinding bit to it.

Blah, blah, blah. Program defensively: expect to fail and handle it before hand don't expect to succeed and blame others for your failure. What I mean is a simple check would prevent the BOT from doing this, but instead it gets stuck in an infinite loop. That makes the DEV a noob not the user.

Edit:

That last bit may have come out wrong; not trying to be insulting just pointing out something that happens a lot in development; a programmer forgets to check for null for example and something crashes. Obviously the user is to blame because they put the program in that state -> NOPE

-- Also thanks for telling me about the plugin. That leads me to another comment.

Maybe there could be a tag that states xyz plugin is required and display a message about it. There are a lot of plugins and if you are just running profiles from a subversion trunk you never see the original thread for whatever may have happened way back in the day.

The more tools we have the better stuff we can do. And, Kick I didn't pay you anything for all those amazing profiles, so like I said awesome work ;)

@Xsol, please reply in the right topic page, this is a thread about SWTOR not WOW,

Also Apoc how is the development getting along? i read somewere that the HB team has created a profile for 1-10 leveling but with every alt having different start location's and quest's unique to alt your playing would'nt that take alot of coding time up or are you releasing it and the community can build there own profile's? ( or have the like's of Kick have there hand's on a copy already? :) )

When are we hoping on getting a beta release since i have a new account awaiting botting :)

P.S. Hit me a PM if you need any tester's to flush out bugg's for you, i have been with the HB community since the beggining Of GB1 :)
 
you guys should list the bots current features and future upgrades in the first post so more pple can see whats up.
