Creating Profiles

[Bishop]

I'm looking for a fairly brief overview/guide to creating HB grinding profiles.

I'm an experienced botter, but new to HB. All previous bots I've used (Glider, OB, etc) have provided a fairly simple waypoint design, but HB doesn't seem to follow the same style.

Can anyone provide a brief explanation, or link to an existing guide? I'm fairly literate, and will catch on quickly if someone can just provide the basics.

Much appreciated.

I asked the same question and was told to check out the wiki xD
There's an empty profile there, all u need to add are hotspots, protected & mail items, and maybe a vendor/mailbox
-edit and perhaps add the right factions

There are three starter profiles in the Wiki... Farming, Grinding, QuestOrder.

Here's the one for grinding, which is the one you want. The full list of Profile tags is now complete and located here.

cheers,
CJ

I'll check it out, thanks for the response.

Quick, stupid question from me on this topic. How do you get the co-ordinates used by HB? Carbonite or any other addon doesn't show them in that much detail. do they include height or something?

In HB, on the tab "Profiles & Meshes" there's a button called "My Position"... should be what u're looking for

Any suggested profile creator plugins for a simple grinding profile?

I see several options out there, I just don't know which one(s) are most liked.

eProfilecreator is what I have my eye on so far.

There's got to be an plugin that will report your waypoints for you in intervals?

For any reasonably large profile, having to cut/copy every few seconds would take for ever? Please tell me there's a better method...?

The answer is no.
The reason the answer is no is because they are not waypoints, they are hotspots.
A hotspot is a point on the map with a set radius, this merely defines where to kill and not how to travel.

If you want to make a profile which uses hotspots to travel then you need to look at adding stuff like RandomizeHotspots and MaximumHotspotTime which is declared in ms.

<chuckles> None that we know of. If you find better, I'll drop it in the Wiki here.

eProfileCreator, ProfileMaker, CreateProfile, etc are all plugins I was looking for.

That's all I needed.
