Convert GatherBuddy to HonorBuddy Profiles

[Kamilche]

Here's a script I wrote that will convert a GatherBuddy gathering profile to an HonorBuddy gathering profile. It requires Python to be installed on your computer.

To use it, replace the filename with the GatherBuddy profile you wish to convert (full pathname). Hit Ctrl-F5 to run (if you're in Idle), and copy/paste the output into a new text file. If the default vendor name and mailbox name isn't good for your needs (currently set to Horde Crossroads), replace them. Give it a new profile name, and voila! A new HonorBuddy gathering profile.

Or copy/paste from below, into a new Python window:

name = 'Tekk forest mining'
format = '        <Hotspot X="%s" Y="%s" Z="%s" />'
filename = r'C:\Users\Cindy\Documents\Honor2\Profiles\Barrens Cataclysm.xml'

prefix = '''
<HBProfile>
    <MinFreeBagSlots>1</MinFreeBagSlots>
    <MinLevel>1</MinLevel>
    <MaxLevel>81</MaxLevel>

    <SubProfile>
    <Name>%s</Name>
    <MinLevel>1</MinLevel>
    <MaxLevel>81</MaxLevel>
    <Factions>9999999 </Factions>
   
   <AvoidMobs>
       <Mob Name="Blackwind Warp Chaser" Entry="23219" />
   </AvoidMobs>
   
   <Blackspots>
       <Blackspot X="-8895.609" Y="-428.6633" Z="66.3858" Radius="21.39053" />
   </Blackspots>
   
    <Mailboxes>
      <Mailbox X="-443.3844" Y="-2649.076" Z="97.80752"/>
   </Mailboxes>
   
   <Vendors>
	<Vendor Name="Sergra Darkthorn" Entry="3338" Type="Repair" X="-482.4752" Y="-2670.188" Z="97.3492" />
    </Vendors>

   <Hotspots>
'''

suffix = '''
</Hotspots>

</SubProfile>
</HBProfile>
'''

print prefix % name
print format
file = open(filename)
for line in file:
    line = line.strip()
    if line[:10] == '<Waypoint>':
        line = line[10:-11]
        words = line.split()
        if len(words) == 3:
            print format % (words[0],words[1],words[2])
        
print suffix

BTW, I made this because I could find no good low-level post-Cataclysm HonorBuddy herbalism profiles, but I did see some for GatherBuddy.

there is already a tool on our forums made by Hawker but thx
nice to see more tools from users

 

[Kamilche]

Where's the link to it? I'd like to check it out, maybe it has features to add hotspots? Mine just converts existing hotspots.
