GB question (badnodes)

[nekh]

So I've recently bought Gatherbuddy and so far I think its brilliant! although when using one specific profile I always end up dying while trying to mine. I don't really know how the badnodex.xml works..

How do I add a specific nod to be avoided?

Also, If/when I've added the nod to the badnodes.xml, do I need to restart both wow and GB? or just GB?

How do I "enable" this badnodes to be recognized within GB?

thanks a ton for any answer I might get!

Step 1). Open badnodes.xml
Step 2). Look for: </nodesBlacklist> (Should be the very bottom line)
Step 3). Open GB go manually to the node you want to blacklist, click my location on GB, copy the XYZ coord.
Now copy this line:

<bad_location><name>Saronite Deposit</name><waypoint>5309.018 4437.107 -101.2086</waypoint><comment>Always seem to die here 7/26/2010 4:20 PM </comment></bad_location>

Add just above the </nodesBlacklist>, change the stuff you need Like Saronite Ore, to what the node is your blacklisting, You;ll need to insert the XYZ coord you copied, you'll have to remove the commas (,)

Easy way to see if you have any errors, start GB then open debug.html
You'll see something like ERROR: Badnode blahblah, fix it, something is not correct, either spelling or most likely the XYZ coords are not correct, meaning there's a comma.

Ntsmarkv, thank you for your comprehensive guide! also I did as you told me to, started GB and then opened debug.html found a few errors because of the commas got everything right now!

Still I haven't figured out what am doing wrong here.. Why isn't it being blacklisted?

[07:25:04:346]:badNodes.xml error: Input string was not in a correct format.
[07:25:04:352]:badNodes.xml error: 4669.052. 2456.455. 333.715

and the code looks like this:

<bad_location><name>Rich Saronite Deposit</name><waypoint>4669.052. 2456.455. 333.715</waypoint><comment>Manual Blacklist by Merciless</comment></bad_location>

also here is an attachment of my badnodes.xml

use . instead of comma in the digits behind your commas.. Should look like

4669.052, 2456.455, 333.715

Very bad description, i know.. but's it's 4 in the morning here, i've gotten a bit to drink and english isnt my first language ^^

 

[nekh]

haha nps Venus112 I understood what you meant! but as far as I know I've tried em both.. but i will try it once again and see how it looks like! thank you~~

 

[Ntsmarkv]

There should not be any "," or "."

here is what you need:

<bad_location><name>Rich Saronite Deposit</name><waypoint>4669.052 2456.455 333.715</waypoint><comment>Manual Blacklist by Merciless</comment></bad_location>

Ntsmarkv, Isn't that how I did?

oh.. i can see the difference

4669.052. 2456.455. 333.715

4669.052 2456.455 333.715

will try that out as soon as I get GB working again! keeps telling me that Auth: FAILED!


could anyone perhaps help me out here? can't get pass the auth part of GB, keeps telling me it failed

nvm got it working

Thank you Ntsmarkv, it works as intended now!
