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

[Kmica]

[Rep] Shado Pan Dailies [Brodie].xml - r82 has an error and wont load.

Open the file in some text editor (notepad,ultraedit...) and delete

<HBProfile>
in the first line.

After that it will load properly.

A little note.
In the "Pandaria Dalies v2" plugin some if conditions are incorrect.
To avoid

Plugin Pandaria Dailies v2 threw an exception in 'Pulse'! Exception:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at AzeniusHelper2.AzeniusHelper.Pulse() in c:\Games\Honorbuddy\Plugins\Pandaria Dailies v2\Pandaria Dailies v2.cs:line 659
   at Styx.Plugins.PluginWrapper.Pulse()

Change, for example

if (Me.Combat && Amberhusk.Distance2D <= 15 && Amberhusk != null)

To

if (Me.Combat && Amberhusk != null && Amberhusk.Distance2D <= 15)

So that, in this case, null is checked BEFORE the Distance2D property is accessed.
Cus if the the object Amberhusk is null and the Distance2D property is accessed before the null check is done, a null reference is thrown, and that is not what we want

Hey kick, im having a very annoying issue and it wont let the bot pick up quests when the NPC have 2 or more, it doest happen every time but i cant even let the bot afk for like 30 minutes.

ps. Im level 15, human mage using the 12-58 EK profile and already cleaned cache

Shadow-pan profile broken as of last update

Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed HBProfile: Line 1274 position 13
but I opened the profile and it doesn't even have that many lines in it it's 1249 lines total. color me confused.


edit:
oh, the top of the profile has 2 <HBProfile>'s
delete one of them and the profile loads correctly.

I have no idea how that ended up there...same with the /If issue with Cloud Serpent, I really don't remember adding that. And I definitely didn't add another HBProfile call...wierd...

I don't know if you have gotten any feedback yet on the pieces you fixed recently, but A Little Brain Work, Sonic Disruption, and Meltdown worked perfect for me today.
The only issue I ever have is the Angler's dailies, whenever the bot has to dive for clams, it loves to get stuck on every reef and obstacle their is. But no biggie, I supervise it anyway.

The clams...I hate the clams...I have blacklisted and blackspotted that one clam so many times...and it still goes right to it...
Thank you for the positive feedback on the item use quests, I'm glad they are working as intended!

Boom, fixed. That's awesome, I wasn't thinking about order of operations there.

Its quite annoying that when i am botting in Kun lai summit as horde its so buggy. actualy everywhere in pandaria,
it stands still for like days everytime i check it stands still. can that be solved?

 

[tomten]

please fix the quest *Sky race* for cloud serpent so it doesn't cheat.
Or remove it completely until you can fix it (been months now, im sure you've havent turned it in the last 10-20 times its been available...)

Even if you drop the quest manually it still loops and tries to pick it up.
I dont want to cheat but i want the bot to be afkable, which this quest effectively ruins...

Thanks.

Dont really understand your problem at all, in the past months ive been running 2 chars from 85-90, and one from 1 to 90 with Kicks profiles and i never had such problems, heck the last Char just finished Kun lai summit last night and ive had no problems at all.

how about a log where it stands still or some kind of pointers where it stands still? Your telling nothing is working, but dont tell what aint working.

I'd just like to thank you for these profiles.
Dailies are killing my WoW interest, but with these profiles... Well, they're perfect, a few bugs here and there, but what can you expect

Thank you.

You don't want to cheat? Is botting not a form of cheating?

Not that I haven't turned it in or what not...I honestly have not seen this quest in a very long time...
I can add a 30 second wait timer to the start of it and essentially its "fixed", i just need to test it.
If I could control the RNG gods I would...believe me I want nothing more than to never have to fix this profile set again In the good way of course

 

[thebrodieman]

Essentially, current setup of this quest in the bot takes off before the race actually starts...a good 20-30 seconds before...
You still get quest credit, but there is a chance you are raising a red flag.
I thought Blizz had fixed this ingame, but I was wrong. I have tried to fix it but I need to actually have it, as its a phased quest, and i need to test timings too.

 

[tomten]

For me its a pretty big difference of breaking the game (i.e doing stuff otherwise not possible) or playing within the game rules/limits but automated.

But yeh, both ofcourse is a form of cheating, personally, i only condone the later of my first sentence...

Level 60 druid, doing 58-70 profile atm, when goes flying form, actually never flyies, it sticks on the ground.
It never uses Mangle but Thrash instead.

 

[laria]

Chasing the Chicken - Quest - World of Warcraft , the bot really likes to crash into the cage when bringing back runaway chicken.
Not sure if it is your problem or a mesh issue

druids must buy a flying mount that *isn't* flying form / swift flying form for CanFly() to recognize that you have flying

the other issue is not profile related (CC related) - ask in the CC forum for assistance for that issue

 

[stulianos]

Thank you very much Kick, instant response!!

 

[Kickazz006]

Thank you very much Kick, instant response!!

happy to help =)

 

[stulianos]

Oh, hang on! I bought Ebon Gryphon, i learned it, i also added *ID:25471* at the flying space and still casts Flight Form and flying on the ground!


EDIT: Fixed!

The Quest "The Sha of Hatred" doesn't work or do anything:

Compiling quest behavior from 'C:\hb-release\Quest Behaviors\SpecificQuests\30968-TownlongSteppes-TheShaofHatred.cs'
[QDBG] Starting behavior Bots.Quest.QuestOrder.ForcedCodeBehavior.
Goal: shaofhatred: "The Sha of Hatred"
[Singular] Casting Blood Fury on Me 
[CGSpellBook::CastSpell] Override ID: 20572, KnownIndex: 1

Bot just stands there doing nothing. Problem with the QB?

Moved it in front of the mob and started it, and... terrible, terrible behaviour to be honest. Constantly running around like a headless chicken and rarely DPS'ing properly

specific quest behaviors have their own set of rules and logic ... can you please attach a log with any specific quest behavior?

I can find most issues w/ a general description if it's profile related (ie: I need more redundancies or i need to fiddle a little bit ... but the developers have their own debugging and such inside of specific behaviors)

Thanks

Are you in Hellfire? It's possible that you wont actually "fly" until you reach Zangarmarsh.


Edit: Forgot I was in this thread for my own needs. How does my bot know to pick Horde on Panda?
