HB - GrindBot cannot find path

So I wanted to use GrindBot to farm Raw Tiger Meat in Jade Forest. I created two profiles, one manually and one with zaprecorder, all while riding araound in the area I want to farm - both showed the problem.

I have used a completely fresh installation of HB.

Most of the time the bot has no problem running around but sometimes he gets stuck and says he cannot find a path - this is in no way a 'difficult' terrain with obstacles or so but he gets stuck on several spots.

What could cause this problem and how can I solve it? Mesh problem?

Attached is my grinding profile and the log. In the log there are several "Activity: Loading Tile/s" and at the end the errors with pathing:
"Activity: Moving to hotspot
[04:38:32.611 D] Could not generate full path from {2658.212, -901.5988, 329.6483} to {2698.542, -899.856, 330.0008} (time used: 17 milliseconds)".
^This happened for various places.

Btw; is there a way to force the GrindBot to only use ground mounts? It also bugs around, when using a flying mount and he gets to fly a bit at uneven terrain. The bot then will not land when hovering like 1m above the ground.

well it looks like it was trying to kill a mob that chances are was spawning underground or in a place it couldnt path too.
[04:38:32.484 N] MoveToTarget: Could not generate path to target: Waxwood Hunter, blacklisting!

it should of cleared the target then move on and take care of what it needs to take care of.

is that not the case?


it should only use ground mounts, what you might wanna do is click "Settings & Tools" and uncheck "Use Random Mounts" and "Find Mounts Automatically"

and in the boxes type in the names of the mounts you want it to use.
 
Well it didn't move on.

This log is only from one occasion. I restarted it several times and it stopped at several places and simply didn't move anymore (didn't log them all because it was too much). So it's not a problem with mob looting - those errors also occured with normal hotspot moving.
 
you can also try to clear your mesh folder

btw,it happens only on the specific profile?
 
No.
I created one profile with zaprecorder - there are errors.
Then I created a profile by hand with hotspot creation from dev tools and it produced errors. In this profile I then moved the hotspots a bit but the errors were still there (for different hotspots which were like 50m away from each other).
 
can you try another custom profile plz?
 
disable all your plugins and try again plz
 
Nope; still error.
Already posted in mesh error thread - will this be fixed some time, or aren't there updates coming for this stuff?
 
well its the profile, as long as the next point is not on an island or someplace that isn't meshed, it should have no problem getting there.
my suggestion would be to modify your profile and remove that bad point. where ever it is.
 
So I created a new profile and the last hour I observed the bot and deleted 24(!) hotspots - from my point of view it's in no way 'acceptable' that the bot cannot freely move between those waypoints. And they are in an area of like 200x200 yards.
Now only half of the area I want to farm is even covered because the other part seems to have no hotspots left.
So I kinda doubt it's a profile problem.

Btw; is there a plugin or something to force the bot to run/fly to a certain coordinate for testing purposes?

These are the ones I had to delete:

you could make a quest profile with the flyto quest behavior and make it fly to that point.

are you sure your placing your hotspots on the ground and not while flying?

are you sure your in path-able locations, like not having putting them on balcony's and making sure your placing them on places it can actually walk to.

Well go there and look for yourself: Waxwood Hunter - NPC - World of Warcraft
Nothing that special about this area.
I created all those points while riding on a ground mount. And I did this three times, for three profiles with lots of different hotspots.
 
Created a fourth profile still does not work^^

Well anyway another question; why does the bot not choose another hotspot to go to? This seems not very reasonable to simply give up and stand there until the afk logout, when he could choose another waypoint to go to?

because thats the point you specified so it has to go there, there's nothing else for it to do till it gets there.
