[PB] General questions

[Zikke]

Can somebody please help me conceptually get PB to work? I must be missing something.

1) Now that the profile is chosen within the PB bot settings, what does the Load Profile button do in the main HB window?
2) Do I need to chose a Secondary Bot in the PB settings? I just want to level up Mining 1-525 and nothing else.


Thank you!

Forget the "Load Profile" button on the HB window
You dont have to do anything else than the following: Go grab a mining pick and the professions mining and herbing (or just 1 of them if that's what you want)

Open up PB bot settings and load the 1-525 profile.

Start bot
Profit

I think it needs me to pick a Secondary Bot, because of this error message in the log, which causes the bot to wait forever:

Styx.HonorbuddyUnableToStartException: You have not selected a primary bot!

The Secondary Bot window doesn't seem to have a "None" option. What should I do with that? I'll attach my log if that makes it easier to see the problem. Thank you for helping!

You do have to set one. Just choose ArchaeologyBuddy and hit start.
It'll be just fine as it won't switch to that unless something goes wrong.

And even if it does switch, ABuddy works anywhere in the World of Warcraft (Sorta).

I set it to Arch bot (as secondary bot), and it went and trained Arch and then flew to a digsite... Is it going to only level up mining AS it does something else? Or does the 1-525 profile have routes and zones built into it so it knows where to go?

I have Mining trained to 1 and have a pick in my bag. =/

Sorry for the delay. I'll check it out here in an hour or so and let you know what I did to get it working.
I haven't tried this with the new "BotBase" version of PB yet.
If I don't get back to you within 4 hours of this post try setting secondary bot to Gatherbuddy2. I have to do some training, and I'm hoping it won't take more than 2-3 hours.

For closure, I downloaded a new, clean copy of HB with no plugins and no extras just for this PB "project" and it works fine. There must be something in my normal installation folder that is messing it up.
