Fly R: Update issue

[Skaggy]

I realize it's probably HB overall as even when i Switch profiles, it seems to do it.
it's never at a "certain" quest or certain lvl or place, it happens all over 1~90.

only fix so far (which works half the time) is to drop all quests, restart both and/or reload WoW.
this gets highly irritating as it'd just sit there and leave me for hours doing nothing, if I don't decide to go to another bot (prof/gather/etc)

Is this a common issue? i've been searching the forums and I don't see this too much.

well theres a couple of things you can try, first in your Settings (you can get to it by clicking the "Settings and Tools" button)
uncheck the Learn, and Use Flight Point checkboxes, this should prevent it from even going there in the first place.

if that doesn't do it for you, try using the latest honorbuddy beta and see if that works smoother for you, as they are working on that part of the code.

I believe I'm using the beta one? Use flight point does not exist. I've unchecked use flight paths and will report if error occurs again tomorrow

Is there somewhere else on the one i am using that will just not go to those points, or rather, what is causing this error?
looks like it goes there , clicks and tries to go somewhere and/or update but never realizes either the Flight point doesn't exist that it's trying to go to, or that it's been updated already.

if your wow was dced or you changed chars without restarting both Hb and WoW,flight pats will bug

 

[Skaggy]

is that what causes it?
i'll try it out and report back with a log if it happens again

 

[Tony]

is that what causes it?

I assume it's because the lua events that get attached while honorbuddy attached to wow get lost when you logout/login. I believe this is a bug, that should get fixed (When honorbuddy detects a new character logging in, it should reattach events/update singular with new class/etc...)

no, thats because during startup theres a lot of things that run that get initialized to that character, when you switch characters without relogging honorbuddy you cause a lot more problems then just some bad lua hooks. as far as a fix, there is none, as switching characters without restarting honorbuddy is improper use as it was not designed to do that.

Well, if it wasn't designed to do that, then why doesn't is auto close when you log off the toon? Or prevent hitting start / say an error when you try and start with another toon. If this is intended design, then it's pretty poor design.

because you can then log back into your toon, (say you get disconnected) and you will be fine.

Again, still poor design. The game can clearly read the name/realm you are currently on, if it's a different name/realm then it should kick back with an error. Poor design or bug. At this point, I'm done trying to argue. Report it or not...it's these types of problems that cause these types of posts to keep occurring, which in turn cause more support problems for you mods. HB needs better error trapping IMO. Sitting there trying to update pointlessly is not my idea of "working as intended".

why are you going on about this? it is the way it is, its not changing anytime soon.

Then continue to mask problems, and continue supporting problems that should be fixed.

End of story /facepalm

its not a problem, we'd get more people going "my honorbuddy closed out for no reason" then we would get by implementing a "feature" no one asked for.
