HB ARCHIVES: Honorbuddy Profile Pack--DO NOT DELETE!

[chinajade]

Dear Kick,
I've found that your level 6-12 Durotar questing profile will do a few quests, then suddenly go all the way to orgrimar just to set its hearthstone there, and then go back to Sen'Jin village. This wastes a lot of time. It's better to put this later on when the character is actually in/near orgrimar.
The code that does this is:

<If Condition="Me.HearthstoneAreaId != 5170" >
				<!-- Set Hearth to Org -->
				<CustomBehavior File="UserSettings" UseFlightPaths="true" />
				<RunTo DestName="Innkeeper Gryshka" X="1573.266" Y="-4439.158" Z="16.05683" />
				<CustomBehavior File="InteractWith" MobId="6929" GossipOptions="1" />
			</If>

Hi, Nuclear898,

This is done by design. All starter classes go from 1-5 using unique race-specific profiles. This includes BloodElves and Undead (that come from another continent), and Ogres and Trolls that come from the same area to which they will be returning.

At level 5, the individual starter profiles chain into the single Durotar 5-12 profile that is done by all classes. The first thing the Durotar profile does is bind at the main Orgrimmar Inn, then move back to south Durotar to take care of business, and proceed throughout the rest of Kalimdor. The Alliance side follows the same pattern, using Elwynn Forest in place of Durotar.

This detour adds about 11 minutes to the bot's overall /played time for Ogres and Trolls. Much less, if it takes the taxis. Recall that BloodElves and Undead had to do continent-hopping resulting in a similar delay. Tauren have to come from Thunderbluff incurring the same penalty. This is obviously a sub-optimal flow for the Ogres and Trolls, as you have pointed out. But, it makes everything 'common' quickly, which is beneficial for a number of reasons.

cheers,
chinajade

Hi, chinajade. Thanks for your helpful response, and thanks to Wullie too. Your solutions worked, in a certain way. I modified the profile as you said and as a result, the bot started to work again. He took my toon back to Zangarmash by flypoint and picked up a quest, but then it started acting wierdly: he was trying to point a direction, but the camera point of view turned sideways and he was running in the wrong direction. As a result the bot log started to fill up with navigation errors "We are stuck". I stopped the bot, tried deleting the caches as described in the post you linked, and then restarted the bot again, it seemed ok at first so I went to "my office" (the bathroom) for a while and when I got back he was acting same as before!

There are a couple of things that jump out immediately from your log.
Firstly, you're running a rather old version of the profile:

[17:15:16.999 N] Changing current profile to [H - Quest] 12-58 K and EK [Kick] ($Rev: 2737 $)

The current revision is 2771, so I'd suggest changing that in the first instance. I actually suspect that would have fixed your initial problem as well (and explains why the bit I linked in my previous reply wasn't getting hit) so I'd be tempted to not make any manual changes after you update, and just start the profile. In theory it'll go to Hellfire and do the rep quests then back to Nagrand.
Please note that when you do the update you'll likely get a conflict and need to select that you want to use "their" version.
The other thing that jumps out is:

[17:13:49.847 N] Compiler Error: c:\Users\Massimo Luraschi\Documents\Honorbuddy\Plugins\buddycon2\BuddyCon2.cs(14,12) : error CS0234: Il tipo o il nome dello spazio dei nomi 'MemoryManagement' non esiste nello spazio dei nomi 'Styx'; probabilmente manca un riferimento a un assembly

Seems you've a plugin that isn't loading right. I'd suggest removing it, or checking for updates. In theory this shouldn't cause issues, but I've had problems myself with botbases and plugins failing to load, and then stopping other stuff loading right too, so it's worth fixing.

Hi again, R?kwon, and thanks for the log.

Indeed we see the stuck:

[17:32:18.355 D] Goal: Flying to Zabra'jin
[17:32:18.355 D] [FlyTo-v501(debug) @line 3633]: Flying to 'Zabra'jin': <276.875, 7849.026, 23.77924>.
[17:32:18.461 N] [Singular] attention: Pull Distance set to 1 yds by Questing, Plug-in, Profile, or User
[17:33:09.284 N] We are stuck!!
[17:33:09.284 D] [Stuck] Trying to ascend.
[17:33:10.820 N] We are stuck!!
[17:33:10.953 D] [Stuck] Trying strafing left.​

What you are describing is Navigational issues--which are not profile-related. Probably the easiest thing to do is to correct this is to place the toon on the ground on a path, dismount, then start Honorbuddy again.

I was able to identify a testbed for one of the failure modes of the Flightor stuck handler. A team member is currently looking at this problem. I'm not sure your stuck failure mode is quite the same--as yours appeared to recover, but the testbed I've located does not.

The camera-issue is not a profile-related issue either--its a WoWclient bug. I've experienced that on occasion myself, and know how annoying it can be. Indeed, it can even happen to 'normal' players (that are not botting). How I usually manage to correct it, is to hit the HOME or END key to cycle through the cameras. Usually one of the camera positions will zoom into 'first person view', and from there, you can zoom back out. However, on occasion the issue is uncorrectable, and you simply have to shutdown and restart the WoWclient.

cheers,

Dont know if its a profile issue, but in Uldum he is flying back an forth, always trying to mail items.
I noticed it in another zone too but cant remember which one.

I get this exact same issue, it's not actually profile related, as far as I know. I reported it here a few weeks ago: http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/70565-bug-reports-honorbuddy-bug-reports-5.html#post1269603
Very nasty one as obvious bot like behavior in a quite busy area. It may be worth you also reporting it on the bugs thread to try and draw more attention to it (not sure of the etiquette on this though?)
Since it appears there's no quick fix forth coming I wonder if we could alter the profile so it avoids mailing when in this area, or at least give a pop up warning to users so they don't AFK anywhere around here; even 5 minutes is really dangerous.

Hi Carniphex, and many thanks for the log!

Wullie is spot on with this?the problem is a Navigational issue, and not a profile problem. In fact, the profile is not even running while a Vendor-run (mail/sell/repair) is being conducted.

This report actually belongs in the [post=727256]Honorbuddy Bug Reports thread[/post] thread, if you'd be so kind to report it there.

cheers,
chinajade

No idea where to start on this one, guess it's either quest behavior related, or CR related.
Questing in Townlong Steps, level 90 demo warlock, using singular.
Trying to do this quest: My Father's Crossbow - Quest - World of Warcraft
Starts of really well, and then it just stops doing any attacking, just moves behind the mobs as per the quest behaviour, but doesn't ever start to attack again. Eventually it dies, but oddly seems to *stay inside* that CustomBehaviour, and runs back to the coords, gets corpse, and then does nothing.

				<RunTo X="2057.646" Y="4858.151" Z="154.6169" />
				<CustomBehavior File="GetOutOfGroundEffectAndAuras" QuestId="30931" StartNpcId="61540" PreferKillingMobId="63677" EventX="2057.646" EventY="4858.151" EventZ="154.6169" MoveBehindMobCastingSpellId1="119688" MoveBehindMobCastingSpellId2="119694" MoveBehindMobCastingSpellId3="125825" MoveBehindMobCastingSpellId4="125845">
					<Safespots>
						<Hotspot X="2012.314" Y="4844.366" Z="159.3651" />
					</Safespots>
				</CustomBehavior>

Couple of logs of behavior:
View attachment 106058
I've had a brief look over the GetOutOfGroundEffectAndAuras behaviour, and it does suggest that it's supposed to release and resume on death, so perhaps those coords are a little far away from the StartNpcId (looks over 40 yards), but that doesn't explain why it's stopping attacking.
I'll leave the toon here, so I can test any potential fix.

Hi again, Wullie, and thanks for the report!

Thanks for the offer of a testbed, but you should move on with your toon. I've captured the issue to [post=1260135]Known Bugs List: MoP 85-90[/post].

As stated previously, another team member is working the MoP profiles at the moment, and will see what he comes up with.

In Felwood queste he never goes to the mobs but does not attack, can kill rather than attacking. what I have to adjust so that he again defends safe and queste executes?

 

[kro1013]

Hey Kick,

been using your profiles for a while now (the grinding profiles, since they are a little more AFKable.

I just wanted to inform you that the lvl 15 - 17 grinding area in Barrens (1-60 Orc Bottom) always targets the Kor'Kron Demolisher lvl 90 elite. so I have added this into the profile

under the Avoid Mob tab I added this as well:
<Mob Name="Kor'Kron Demolisher" Entry="71005" />

Hey guys
LK 68-80 need little update im lvl 78 /Alliance/ and questing borean tundra -.-

I'm having the same problem, level 77 now and done with Borean Tundra quests, now it wants to go to Howling Fjord. It did this in Outlands too.. (I was level 66 but still compiled Hellfire Peninsula quests, so I assume I would need to do the same for Cata, MoP quests as well. I assume this is an easy fix but I can't pinpoint it. Thanks for any help

Open up the profile with your favorite text editor and find where it says <QuestOrder IgnoreCheckPoints="True"> and change it to <QuestOrder IgnoreCheckPoints="False">, and restart honorbuddy while reloading the profile.

 

[lilsavalex]

Quest behaviors that are used by Kick's profiles come with honorbuddy by default.

There's an issue with honorbuddy's stuck handler which has been resolved and will be fixed in an upcoming update.

Hi, Andreas2000,

What you are describing sounds like a problem with your Combat Routine, and not the profile. Please make a post into the Support forum regarding this issue, and be certain to attach your log that captures the problem.

Hi, Kro1013,

I'm looking at v2783 of the [H - Quest] 12-58 K-EK [Kick].xml profile, and it already contains an entry for Kor'Kron on line 56.

I double-checked NPC #71005, and WoWHead claims the NPC is no longer in game. I wonder if its ID has changed.

If you are certain the ID is correct, and Honorbuddy is not avoiding the mob, then please make a post to the Support forum regarding the issue. The profile has already used all the tools at its disposal to prevent you from engaging the mob.

I'm level 65 and since I was level 58, My toon has been running around the western side of Terokkar Forest repeatedly killing bog monsters and not completing any quests. The log says something about going to various hot spots.
I've had to, basically, battleground my way up to the level that I'm at currently. I'm using the [Fly][H - Quest] BC 58-70 [Kick].xml profile.

Hi, Cartzy77,

Some of what you describe sounds like cache issues. To try repairing, please follow the instructions in this article:

[post=1067458]HelpDesk: Cache corruption problems[/post]​

Some of what you describe sound like Navigational issues, and other things you describe sound like they could be profile issues. Please follow our guide to [post=1259963]Reporting Problems or Seeking Assistance[/post] to help parse through the issues.

Wherever you post for help, please include the full log that captures the issue, and let's address one problem at a time?not the whole spectrum.

Hi, Brash21 and Namjax, And. many thanks for the log, Namjax!

As Lilsavalex points out, it seems one of our maintainer's checked in updates with IgnoreCheckpoints="True'. I make this mistake a lot, miself. This issue has been corrected in v2784.

Sorry for the inconvenience. (Thanks, Lilsavalex)
