There is a thing i dont get, whenever wow is patching, the bot is shut down, due to fixing needed etc etc.
But why is it impossible to keep the old one avaible on own risk? or even the Beta version?

Couldent care less if i get banned for useing and old version of HB, as long as its working 50% of the time, takeing a risk allready botting, a few % more wont give me any bigger paranoia.
 
Simply because memory offsets change. In a nutshell when WoW release a patch the memory locations that HB finds information changes. Therefore the currently released HB is not going to work with the modified WoW client.
 
thx, that clarified evrything for my small brain, now i can rest in peace, instead of slamming my head into the wall evrytime there is a patch.

Hi, Mistz,

Whenever the WoWclient is patched, the offsets change. Offsets are how Honorbuddy looks at the WoWclient data, and acts on it, or issues directives to the WoWclient.

When the offsets change, its analogous to "the bolt holes don't line up any more". So, Honorbuddy has to be changed to the new WoWclient's bolt hole locations.

If you try to use the old Honorbuddy with the new WoWclient, no telling what would happen. Probably get lots of "Memory access violations", or when Honorbuddy request to mount, the new WoWclient interprets that as 'dance', etc.

Yeah but aren't patterns for offsets the way to go?

The development team is aware of the best practices. But, in particular, patterns fail when the WoWclient is refactored. Not saying it was this time, but it happens too frequently. The 5.3 drop included both a refactoring and a compiler change which threw the existing patterns right out the window.
