HB ARCHIVES: Kick's Old Posts Thread--DO NOT DELETE!

How? what profile should i start with in order for the bot to make all the dailys without me chosing each one...?

They follow a path:

Tillers -> Cloud Serpent -> Anglers -> Klaxxi -> Shado Pan -> Golden Lotus -> August Celestials

You can start [Rep] Daily Grind [Brodie].xml to get it to run all, or start anywhere and it will run through them from there, and continuing through the order. It will not double-back, and it will not go back to skipped or already completed areas (unless you manually make it)

 

[thebrodieman]

OK...

My Town Its On Fire, and My Town Its On Fire Again are flipping rediculous...
These are the only 2 quests out of all the dailies that have similar function that when you pick up an item, and use it on a target, it then hangs....forever.
I have 1 shado pan quest that run identically to this one...and that one works flawlessly. And there's absolutely no code difference between the two.

Yet for some god forsaken reason, the bot refuses to continue on after using an item just once, and requires a full stop/start after each attempt. Not to mention it takes a good 10-15 seconds to use the item!
I need help! I have bashed my head into a wall for far too long on this quest. I'm ready to omit it completely unless someone can help me!

This is what I've tried so far, and what the bot really does:
<CustomBehavior File="CollectThings" MobId="63787" CollectUntil="QuestComplete" QuestId="30192" HuntingGroundRadius="30" NonCompeteDistance="5" PostInteractDelay="1000" >
<Hotspot X="748.123" Y="1562.829" Z="373.2433" />
<Hotspot X="717.4929" Y="1588.973" Z="376.5313" />
<Hotspot X="707.0259" Y="1623.922" Z="377.7441" />
<Hotspot X="706.723" Y="1650.557" Z="377.7441" />
<Hotspot X="676.2088" Y="1650.554" Z="377.744" />
</CustomBehavior>

Bot ignores hotspots, and flames, and just stands still.

<While Condition="HasQuest(30192) && !IsQuestCompleted(30192)" >
<While Condition="HasItem(85782)" >
<CustomBehavior File="UseItemTargetLocation" QuestId="30192" ItemId="85782" UseType="ToObject" ObjectId="63797" Range="30" NumOfTimes="1" />
</While>
<CustomBehavior File="InteractWith" MobId="213369" WaitForNpcs="false" NumOfTimes="1" WaitTime="1000" CollectionDistance="5000" ObjectType="Gameobject" QuestId="30192" />
</While>

Bot picks up 1 bucket, waits 10-15 seconds, uses bucket, then stops responding until bot is manually stopped.

<While Condition="HasQuest(30192) && !IsQuestCompleted(30192)" >
<CustomBehavior File="InteractWith" MobId="63787" WaitForNpcs="false" NumOfTimes="1" WaitTime="500" Range="5" CollectionDistance="5000" QuestId="30192" />
<CustomBehavior File="RunMacro" Macro="/click WorldFrame" />
</While>

Bot uses fire once every 30 seconds. Never moves, only reattempts same flame everytime.

<Objective QuestName="My Town Its On Fire" QuestId="30192" Type="UseObject" ObjectId="63787" UseCount="30" />

Same as attempt #3.

See my pain?

Oh my god....it was so simple...UseItemTargetLocation only works properly when you have more than 1 item in inventory...collect more than 1, works flawlessly...so simple...

This is the second full reinstall in a completely new folder. I must be missing something obvious. Do I have to delete any other copy of HB? Would that be messing it up?

The profile started by picking up the Tiller quests, going to the farm, didn't harvest anything, then checked for weeds ect, then restarted the farm harvest in an endless loop, without actually harvesting one crop.

Looks like it started the Farm quest, did the farming part, but then didn't turn in. Am I correct? If so, this is indicative to an unclean cache. Also, your copy of HB is throwing a lot of errors whenever it loads a new CustomBehavior for the first time.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Bots.Quest.Actions.ForcedBehaviorExecutor..()
at Styx.TreeSharp.Composite.Tick(Object context)

at Styx.TreeSharp.PrioritySelector..()
at Styx.TreeSharp.Composite.Tick(Object context)
at Styx.CommonBot.TreeRoot.()

Several times.
When was the last time you did a full reinstall? It might alieviate some of the issues. Also, your log has shown me that my cache verification check is not working for the farm dailies (mostly because by the time it calls it, the quests have already been picked up).

I'll have to get a log, but planting as a druid, if he goes into bear form to fight off an attacker/mole or whatever, he wont get out of shapeshift to keep tilling the dirt etc, gets stuck trying to get the watering can and bug spray over and over

When you say it didn't harvest anything...do you mean it has a whole bunch of plants already out ready to be harvested, and it left them?
Which quest do you have?
Did it buy the seeds?
Did it plant the seed?
What weed situation occurred?
Did it attempt to fix it?
Did it attempt to turn in?
Is the quest completed?

If you break shapeshift manually, does it fix it?
He won't get out of shape shift to keep tilling the dirt...he should only till once, plant once. Once the quest is complete, that's it.
Get's stuck picking up the can and spray...is that because of the bear form?

 

[thebrodieman]

Klaxxi Seeds of Fear turn in support added (r558)

Mind you it will not turn in if you only have 5...personally i like to leave my bags organized in such a way, and not get rid of the last of an item...but if this is an issue to people i'll change it.

Everytime I try to use this profile I get the same errors. Right now I am trying to level a mage in vAlley of the four winds and it does like 1 quest, starts the next and the bot just stops. And I will do the quest myself after trying to get it to go again for 10 min, and it will do it again.


Starting the bot!
Changing current profile to [N - Quest] 86-87 Valley of the Four Winds [Kick]
[Singular] Casting Ice Barrier on Myself
[Profile Message]: Compiling Valley of the Four Winds Quests
Bot Stopped! Reason: Could not create 'CurrentBehavior' in quest bot; an exception was thrown: The type initializer for 'Styx.CommonBot.Profiles.ProtectedItemsManager' threw an exception.


looks like that just about everytime...how do you fix this?

IF you break shapeshift, it carries on as normal

I think the picking up can and spray is because it keeps going over its cycle, eg, till dirt etc, then get spray/can and it goes 'oh, i havent done this yet, i'll do it again'

Hi, Ironman573,

The first post of this thread tells you to copy the Quest Behaviors provided by Kick into the Honorbuddy/Quest Behaviors/ directory. You missed doing this.

Also, if you have any problems in the future, here or in the Support forum, you must attach your full log, please.

Ref: [Guide] How to attach your log​

cheers,
chinajade

Edit by Kick:
This could be a missing behavior, or an error in your HB. Attach the log so that we can see what you need to do.

I can set a "if druid, break shapeshift" call after it fights...but do you have a log on that second part? is it constantly reloading the profile? or is it stuck trying to pick up the items, failing, and trying again?

I'll have to read how to grab the log etc. Its not failing picking up the items, it picks it up over and over, after trying to till the ground and failing

also fails on the mr fishing part, it doesn't break flight form in the Cloud Serpent Dailies

On every toon, there are 16 plots of enigma seeds (golden lotus, ect) ready to be picked, but it just ignores them and goes into an endless loop. There are no weeds or anything. The HB profile says Checking for harvestable plants and keeps looping.

Edit.. Just reinstalled a third time and triple checked that I was moving the plugins and scripts to the right folders. I planted a new harvest and I will check in the morning.

Oh well there you go! Enigma plants generate actual Pandaren herbs (Silkweed, Green Tea Leaf, etc.) this profile isn't programmed to do those.

EDIT: I added in support for the 6 Pandaren herbs. Needs testing to be sure, but should work!

EDIT 2: Lowered collection distance on pandaren herbs, so it doesnt wander off the farm. Let me know if it does.

2. Any chance of adding an optional skip when reached Exalted? I think I noticed in a previous post/reply that you didn't think this worked any more - is this the case? Something like - <While Condition="GetFactionReputation(1271) < NNNN">

I searched the thread for the GetFactionReputation() function, and did some testing myself. It's currently not working and I posted about it, and the [URL="http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/support-issues/100529-getfactionreputation-not-working.html"]devs confirmed it will be fixed in the next HB release[/URL].

Will be great to auto-skip the reps I'm exalted with. Hope this helps.

Yeah I tried to implement that as a check for "If not Revered with GL, skip SP and AC".

Here's my plan:
When it IS working, and the profile is FINISHED (in terms of all quests in) I will throw out 2 versions: Get me Valor, and Get me Rep.

One does EVERY daily, the other does every daily i need for rep.

I will be implementing Operation: Shieldwall and Dominance Offensive into the mix soon, once I get a few more into Dominance. Once I get the 3 of 4 days worth in, it ill go into the mix between Anglers and Klaxxi.

 

[koawinter]

I finished all of mine by hand. But now I have another toon on another account that I need some recipes for. This is a god send, so I'll post whatever I can in the coming weeks. Thanks a ton.

That sounds great - really looking forward to trying those out when the function is fixed.

Hi, Jeanperran,

Unlike his earlier works, Kick's Cataclysm pack and MoP pack do not have Checkpoints.

With these later packs, Kick switch to zone-based profiles. So, you can manually load the zone you want to be in, and start from there. Of course, doing so may cause you to come up short on experience. For example, Dread Wastes requires the ability to fly, which subsequently requires level 90. And, if you skip, you may not be 90 by the time you want to do Dread Wastes.

If you are unhappy with this, you might try another profile pack--perhaps, Cava's profile pack (questing).

cheers,
chinajade
