New Patch Curiosity?

[Audacious93c]

I know it takes time to fix HB to work with a new patch. But does more effort go into a patch like this one? Where there is more content?

Im curious if pathing? Meshes? etc. are all included. Just curios about how patch does work.

no, all they are doing is seeing if there is anything in the new 7.1 patch that is trying to catch people using HB. They have to screen it first to make sure its okay to open the bot back to the public.

Warcraft has many addresses and offsets in memory that can, and most likely will change heavily after a major patch, so generally speaking it isn't easy to specify an ETA without being broad about it. Pathing however should be dynamically handled by meshes and internal functions. i.e. to reach point B from point A you would path a straight line for optimal efficiency, but in order to avoid obstructions you would need to either know their location prior to building your path, or cast a trace ray and adjust accordingly. Furthermore you would also need logic to determine walkable terrain.

I don't know the inner workings of Honorbuddy so don't quote me, but for the most part addresses/offsets, new meshes, and module dumping (e.g. anti-cheat modules) to identify changes is likely the majority of work involved in updating the bot after a patch.

I figured that the cheat stuff would be in and need checking, like always. But new zones like Kara made me curious what all is involved. Never thought about it before is all haha!

A lot of that stuff is probably worked out in the ptr build
