Going nuts trying to get the bot to work for first time :/

[Nog]

Ok, I'm really not stupid - honest! But I just don't get what I'm missing...

The bot loads with no errors, warnings, exceptions. I created a Mesh folder inside the folder that HB is in, and the bot points to that folder.
Bot is set to GrindBot and I provided the name of my mount, food, and that is pretty much it.

I decided to try this profile with a 71 rogue I have:
http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...blight-shoalazar-beasts-mosswalker-[hb2].html

The first time I ever ran it, the rogue stealthed...and then did nothing.

I kept noticing this error in the log:

It's as if it is trying to stealth pull but I can't tell exactly why it's failing. Am I missing something in my inventory or some skill (I have all my combat talents).

I also notice that this error shows up:

Finally, I notice this:
Loaded new tiled mesh for map "Northrend".
Received error code from mesh server when attempting to get tile map for Northrend: Invalid session

The Mesh folder has a Northrend folder inside of it, but then that folder is empty.


If I need to attach more logs, let me know - and people seem to say this profile works just fine.

I also loaded the bot with no profile, just hit start, and the same pull error.

And finally, once when I loaded the bot with the same profile, I got a message saying to "Select the default Rogue class" only I don't actually see where/how to load a class, only profiles.

I've tried to figure this out on my own but Googling didn't help :/

I guess until I get some feedback I'll go try another profile or more likely, create a level 1 Paladin and go try some other profile to see if it works better, although it's not really why I got the bot.

Thanks in advance. I hate asking but can't figure out how to help myself in this case.


==============================

NOTE: In the last post of the profile thread, I saw this:

if you open the profile you see its not updated to the latest HB.

so a lot of erros will come out of that.


So maybe that is the reason all this is failing. I will try a newer profile. I'd create my own but I don't see any visual gui for waypoints/hotspots, etc. so not sure how that works. Is it all done by hand?

That looks like a problem with your cc try downloading a custom cc see if it makes a difference

Also you wont have any luck googling things for hb just gotta ask!

Also it seems you need to update to the latest HB because the mesh servers have changed

 

[Mario27]

use shadowstrike3 the custom clas from wired i stil have its an older one he wil update soon when he has his pc

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am what must be the latest HB as I just bought and downloaded it last night.

Honorbuddy 2.0.0.3176 started!

So I assume it can connect to the current MESH servers?

And I really should have to download a custom class if I just want basic functionality...? I'm hoping that profile, as the comments say, was for the older version of HB. But I still get the same pull issues when I load it with no profile and hit Start standing right next to a mob so not sure if a different profile will help.

It's been so long since I played too, I never really pulled with my rogue - I just ran up and killed

I wonder if the default class expects you to have something to stealth pull with?

 

[Mario27]

u need to download the latest one nog its the 82 one at the top of downloads rogue is hard to bot but if u make self profiles with good spots its ok look at Wiki there they explain u how to make a profile

 

[Nog]

Ok, well I'm not sure about the pull problem but I'm definitely having an issue with the MESH server(s).

I created a level 1 dwarf paladin to test out this profile:
http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...-60/9576-[questorder]-dwarf-gnome-1-60-a.html

And I get:
Received error code from mesh server when attempting to get tile map for Azeroth: Invalid session
Loaded new tiled mesh for map "Azeroth".

Also, the first debug tab just keeps flashing "POI: Type: Quest Pickup" and I just sit there.

Is there a specific port that needs to be opened to converse with the MESH servers?

Bah! I went to the download section and that is where I got my copy - who knows what I clicked on I guess.

Will go look for a newer version as that might be my issue

======================

UPDATE: Wow, well I guess the changes from last nights download to today definitely fixed the mesh issue... I wish the bot would check if there are updates and notify you when you start I'd never have been able to tell that is what broke.

Now to go see if the Rogue profile works better with pulling now that it can get the mesh data... Update to follow.

Also sounds like you are using a questing profile too, make sure you select questing on the drop down list.

On and the default rogue CC is absolute ass to be completely honest, get shadowstrike, his combat is messed up but does the job better at least.

Thanks the mesh problem is fixed, and I didn't know the default rogue class was that bad. I'll get the ones you guys mention and see if it fixes the pulling now that the mesh problem is gone.

Thanks again for the quick responses... I feel like I'm learning this with blinders on but I'm guessing everyone else stumbled through things at the start. And also, I did select Quest for the Level 1-60 dwarf link, but selected Grind for the original profile link in my post as that is just a grind profile.

Last noob question - I don't see ANYWHERE to load a custom class. Do I need to replace the default rogue one with the Shadowstrike one and just rename his class to the same name as the default rogue class one so it gets compiled?

EDIT: Nevermind, he has instructions on what to do - I was just trying to figure it out last night from the bot interface and couldn't see where you load class like you load profiles. I get it now... Another update to follow to see if that fixed the problem

 

[Captshiznit]

The bot can't download mesh's....

Mesh server down???

I getting same errors, was working perfectly fine today

Received error code from mesh server when attempting to get tile map for Azeroth: Invalid session
Loaded new tiled mesh for map "Azeroth".

Just paste the CC in your CustomClasses folder, if you have more than one CC for your class, the bot will pop up a selection box when you start it.

The default CC's are no good and mainly just for testing I assume, I'd just delete them all (backup if you wish) and use custom ones.

Questing can be really buggy, in my experience. I have not found a non-buggy profile yet. I'd suggest making your own or avoiding them all together unless you feel like babysitting them. This is what I've found with the horde profiles at least.

Mixed mode exp is really nice till about level 70 unless CTA weekends are on. Instances are really good too, but require babysitting as well with InstanceBuddy from the plugin sections.

Ahhh I didn't expect a pop-up No wonder... I figured if you can browse and load profiles, you can browse and load classes.

I _really_ wish (and I don't mean to sound ungreatful) there was an overall "settings" file you can save...

This would include the last:
- profile you were using
- class you were using
- food/water/mount name, etc.

Basically a "session" if you will so each toon can have a different stuff and I can quickly swap between them. Or is there an addon that does something similar?

hey nog come on steam i stil have shadowstrike if u need it because u said i cant download it

It creates different settings files for each toon. \HB Main Folder --> \Settings. You can edit them yourself in notepad if you wish, but the GUI is pretty straight forward and easy.

One problem I ran into, some CC's and plugins do not include the realm name in the settings files though, so if you have different toons with the same name on different realms, you will require two HB folders.

Ahhh so that makes sense. Thanks.

I noticed it was sort of saving settings but I assumed, given my little experience so far, that it was simply the last settings selected.

I figured the dev's made a great eough app that they would have done what I suggested. My bad for assuming it wasn't there in some form. Sorry.

P.S. I dig this community so far. I had the same when I used my first bot with Aion. The botting community was 100x better than the actual gaming community.
