Warlocks cast create soulstone in combat if they use the last charge during a fight.

I notice the bag framerate when the honorbuddy window is in the foreground but if you put it in the background it runs fine..

All I've noticed so far...may be back with more.

The performance of HonorBuddy is directly linked to your frame rate. In WoW, under 'Game Menu', 'System', 'Advanced', you'll see a slider called 'Max Background FPS'. Make sure that is set to 30% or higher - you'll have to eyeball it, there's no numbers on it. If the framerate is set too low, and you swap to HonorBuddy to see what cool stuff is happening, your framerate will drop dramatically. To see this in action, drag the 'Max Background Slider' all the way to the left, which sets it 8fps, and then bring HonorBuddy to the foreground. See how the WoW window has jerky animation, and HonorBuddy starts failing on a lot of spells? Drag it back up to 30% or higher, and it will start working smoothly again.

Do you mean healthstones? Soulstones don't have charges, or even put an item in your bag now - they're just a regular spell. If you don't like that, you can comment out that line during combat. But sometimes during long fights, it's nice to have, so that's why it's in there.

My Max backgroud fps is 100%..the framrate only drops low when the honorbuddy window is selected..it doesn't matter where WoW is..yes I mean healthstone sorry. I'll need to do some more testing but it seems like a pretty solid CC (only tested on lvl ~40 Destro Warlock/Spriest)

I have been running it for an hour now, works fine, so looks like that was indeed the problem. Altho it never got stuck on eating/drinking, and i'm using the questbot.

Thnx anyway!

OK, I have a few changes for you all today.

• Disengage for hunters has been removed - the bot just can't use that intelligently enough.
• Added a user interface to the product, with a single checkbox - 'Use scroll lock to control movement.' Unchecking that, then clicking 'Save', then closing the window, will result in that HonorBuddy session ignoring the state of the scroll lock key, and moving the character itself. This is useful if you want to run multiple HonorBuddies at once, all in the same party. All the followers should uncheck the 'Use scroll lock to control movement' checkbox, and the leader should set their role to 'Tank.' If you can't set the leader's role to 'Tank', because you're a warlock for instance, all the followers should set the 'Focus' to the leader instead. To do this, from the follower, right click the leader, and choose 'Set Focus.' This is also useful when raiding, if you have to heal someone other than the main tank. Whoever is the 'Focus' will be the tank, in FTW's eyes.
• Fixed bug in eating/drinking that would cause the bot to hang until it was done eating/drinking.
• Changed sample empty grindbot file to be even smaller - this seems to have fixed problems where the mobs were being pulled.

I appreciate the bug reports, keep 'em coming! First week of release is always 'late beta', as every programmer knows.

wouldn't it be easier to have a

[x] move manually

checkbox in the classconfig, instead of making it scrolllock dependant..?

lvl3 hunter tries to cast aspect of the hawk / iron hawk all the way, although it does not have that spell

i know i can simply comment it out, but the cc should detect if i'm not having the spell and ignore it - imo

Does it cast those continuously until you comment those lines out, doing nothing else? Or does it perform its normal rotation, skipping those buffs every round?

The lower levels are less tested than the higher levels, because they required making a new toon to test. I oftentimes just abandoned all my talents then coded from there, when making the 'talentless' version of the classes.

Did you know it's possible to heal an entire heroic dungeon as a talentless priest? You still have 'Power Word: Shield' and a handful of healing spells, and that's all ya need!

Many dungeon party members were harmed in the creation of FightThisWay.

i found out that in the some of the hunter profiles there is no range set, so the bot just walks in meleerange

edited this on your suggestion, works fine:

--====================================================================
@INITIALIZE
--====================================================================
Me.ClipTime 50
Me.Range 30

--====================================================================
@COMBAT
--====================================================================

one more thing: how can i make the bot use misdirection on his pet when beginning the battle? best way to keep the agro off me when starting to fight guess must be something in the combat routine or in the "set pet in first" thingy but no clue how i would do that

also what it "cliptime" for? i just edited it into the phrase but what does it stand for?

 

[Gnobiwan]

Yes - I added a user interface to the program today. Click 'Class Config', and uncheck the single checkbox you see, then click 'Save' and close the window. That way the followers will ignore the state of the scroll lock, but the primary won't.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Awesome! Will try as soon as work slows down. Thank you

Edit: unchecking it will make the slaves move and target regardless of the scroll lock button state correct?

Edit2: In your Readme, the grind profile only has one line. Is this intended? "<HBProfile/>"

 

[Gnobiwan]

From the Readme - Stops casting spells XXX milliseconds before they're done ("clips" them.) For max DPS, set this number higher... but if you start getting 'Interrupted's, turn it back down. Set it to 0 to not clip spells.

Glad you like it! I enjoyed making it, though hoo boy, did it take a while.

I can imagine it did dude. I like how easy it is to edit my rotation and what I want it to do, that's the best part Keep up the good work man! +1 from me

Did you get caught in the buggy "eating/drinking hangs the screen" version? Try downloading the latest one.

I checked out a battleground just to see, and didn't notice any hangs. People laughed at the beginning, and yelled 'BOTS! I NEED MOAR BOTS', as we all were standing on exactly the same spot. After 6 of us grabbed the flag, and 10 of us were standing around at the flag, someone cried 'What's happening?' Someone else said 'Bots. Thousands of bots.' I slunk away from the battleground in shame, I couldn't stand to see any more.

Just don't use it until they fix it, my GOD we stand out like a sore thumb! :-D

I don't know if this is the same issue, but I came back and I had BGBuddy running with the CC and WoW and HB did freeze, I can try to find a log for ya, but if you already know about this then maybe it will be no good to you ha. I didn't get a chance to see what the error was before I shutdown everything.

EDIT: Ehhh, I guess since it crashed no log was created ):

 

[zorkinette]

hi how can I disable the automatic movement please ?

When scroll lock is on - Movement and targeting is disabled (You can find Scroll lock on your keyboard next to Print Screen and Pause)
Or is it the other way around? Cant remember, to tired..

I just checked, and all 4 have the Range set. You might have an old version, you will want to download the latest for the bugfixes if nothing else.

Just cast place Misdirection in the buffs section then - the cast will automatically be placed in the tank (if you're in a group), or on your pet (if you're hunting by yourself.)

Cliptime and all the other stuff is described in the ReadMe.html located in the data folder.

Great, glad to hear it's fixed for you now.

It WOULD be, but you would be fighting it more. Here's why - you're in a dungeon, you just made yourself a sammich, and came back to find you're standing in some green goo! You can quickly hit 'scroll lock', get out of the fire, then turn off scroll lock, and all is happy with the world.

Compare that to a) bringing up honorbuddy, b) hitting 'class config', c) unchecking the checkbox, d) bringing wow back up, e) moving out of the goo, (moot point since you're dead already), f) bringing back up honorbuddy, g) hitting 'class config', h) checking the checkbox, i) bringing wow back up.

See all the steps you're avoiding? You want it to do its thing, until the instant it's doing something lame - then you want instant control.

Edit2: In your Readme, the grind profile only has one line. Is this intended? "<HBProfile/>"

Yes - it defaults to checked, make it the other way (unchecked) to not use the scroll lock key. So all the slaves should unset that checkbox.

Yes, we found the other grind profile was causing our chars to pull under certain circumstances. This one causes it to behave as intended - doing nothing but resting and fighting when a party member is in combat.

Wish I could use this at work, lol! I'm in a cube thisclose to another programmer tho so I think they'd notice.

Well, don't post log files publicly, just send them to me in a private message, because they probably contain your character name in there somewhere. But do get the latest version first tho and see if it still happens. This 'hanging' during rest eating/drinking could certainly have caused that problem for you.

If it happens again, send me the log file or post it AFTER stripping out character name information.

Hello Kamilche,
I've got a problem with my framerate. When I start the bot my framerate drops up and down between 9 and 50 frame's. After stopping the bot the frame rate becomes stable around 50. I'm using FTW only for the routine's. So in combination with the combat bot (but then the frame rate loss is the worse) or Lazyraider. Have tried it also with grindbot but no profile loaded at that moment.
I'm using a macbook with windows 7 in bootcamp. So I donn't have the scroll lock key. Also a virtual keyboard with scroll lock key makes no difference in performance.
I like your cc very much. It's a pity with this framerate drop.
I hope you can advice me how to get rid of this framerate drop.

Thank you Kamilche, you're solution with the hog.bat did the job for me. Perhaps I should consider buying a new compu. But will buy you a beer first. Tomorrow first thing in the morning.
