HB problem

If it is Pull Distance, then it is HBcore's fault. A program should *never* allow a property to be set to an invalid value--either through the GUI or API. To allow such is just plain sloppy programming (at several layers, but the buck stops with HBcore).

Kick's Wintersaber profile is only a couple of months old, and most others are interested a *lot* of other stuff besides Wintersaber Rep. So, its also completely understandable why this error has yet to be encountered. It could also be tied to the class that is running the profile, or other such things.

In any case, it boils down to sloppy programming at several layers (Profile, CB, HBcore). The buck stops at the HBcore.

There is no reason to have pulldistance set to 0. Melee is 5 so at the very least maybe 4.
Programmers shouldn't have to put catches for human stupidity.

They shouldn't but i guess they might start having to. Sigh. When did everyone's mentality go from "let me try to fix this myself" to "omgz why doesnt this work!?!! fix now!11!oneleventeen."

Actually, there's a very good reason for having it set to '1' (since '0' is illegal). You'd have to examine the profile, and look at some of the unaddressed boundary conditions in Honorbuddy and some custom behaviors used by this particular profile to understand why.

I agree that solving one's own problems is a long-lost art. However, to be fair this was a difficult problem to diagnose, and not everyone has the skill set to do so.

but rory you shouldnt base other people's knowledge on your own.
i am not a program or profile developer until now i hadnt realise the new tags in profiles could even change the pull distance from within a profile so how was i supposed to figure out the problem was profile related from the information that had been presented to me [updated honorbuddy > started honorbuddy > got error]

Also i wouldnt recommend calling one of the most active profile writers and forum moderater stupid it isnt something that is going to make you very popular around here.

1) Why does it say "100" is invalid? Wouldn't it say "0"? (Seriously i don't know. Maybe HB defaults to 100?)
2) I apologize. But the simple truth is you should have at least opened the profile in notepad and skimmed it. Then you would have seen the new tags.
3) This isn't high school. Popularity means nothing. (Also he makes mostly alliance profiles which means he already lost some points in my book lol)
 
Welll hold on a second about 20 posts ago you where saying its pretty self explanatory!!!

Pretty self explanatory. 100 is too great of a value. Changing your pull/loot distance i assume? Try 85.

edit: Please change title of thread to "Stupid Stupid User"

So you who has knowledge in profile writing had no idea what it is related to yet im supposed to know its clearly a profile error how do you work that one out?
