[Plugin - BETA] RaF Quester, a party questing plugin

[Theking]

Greetings, I am now releasing the first BETA version of the plugin I've created called RaF Quester!

What is RaF Quester?
RaF Quester is a plugin designed for Honorbuddy to ease the experience while questing in a group in World of Warcraft.

This plugin is designed to ease group leveling using Honorbuddy, allowing you to use the 3x experience bonus granted by recruit a friend to its full extent.

With the use of normal questing profiles for HB, RaF Quester will make sure that all your party members are within range before turning in quests so everyone will get the 3x experience bonus.


How do I install it and use ?
Download the plugin and unzip it into your plugins folder, once the plugin is installed start HonorBuddy and enable the plugin.
Then select your favorite questing profiles, for example Cava or Kicks and invite your members to a party and start the bot!


Issues
Character phasing on quest turn in.
1-5 questing with different classes.
Characters sometimes goes out of sync (different quests)

Changelog

Spoiler

1.0.7
RaF Quester now uses await Task.Delay instead of Thread.Sleep, this should prevent HB from crashing.

1.0.4 - 1.0.6
I don't remember all changes I made, but there's a few.
Bug fixes and changes.
Increased party member detection range (due to some long interaction range quest givers)
Will wait 10 seconds before turning in the quest, will prevent unintended turn-ins when someone in the party is grabbing a quest that the other members have completed (and waiting to turn in)
The plugin will resume the profile if the "Members are still turning in quests" error occurs more than 5 times
Removed QuestGiverStatus.TurnInRepeatable to prevent vehicle interaction bugs in Eastern Plaguelands (possible more occasions)
The wait time after the quest have been completed is now random between 13 - 35 seconds.
The plugin will no longer reload the profile (to see if we're in the correct area) under level 10.
Will no longer spam the message "Party members are out of range".

1.0.3
Added a random timer to the wait time after a quest have been compete to hopefully solve turn in issues with 4-5 bots running.

1.0.2
Fixed some bugs and errors.
[Experimental] Added a new feature that will check if all party members are the same level upon level up. If they are the same level, the profile will reload to make sure that we are in the correct area for our level.

1.0.1
Bug fixes.

1.0.0
Initial BETA release.

Thank you for the information! It was ages ago I released something here. I've updated the main thread with the attachment included and SVN link removed.
Also updated the bot with a hotfix to prevent an error that occur on longer runs.

Kind regards.

Do you just run the questing profiles on both bots or do you use party bot?

You just run the quest bot as normal but with the plugin enabled. Just make sure that the bots are always on the same quest, else it will get stuck if it tries to turn in different quests.

How much have you used this? I'm doing the starting orc quests with the cava profile (started within 2 seconds of each other) and they have gotten stuck several times. Is there any way to use Party Bot for the slave and possibly tell it to turn in the quest?

When you're doing the starting zones it might get buggy if you have different classes in the party as they're doing class specific quests given by different quest givers.

I've leveled the same classes from 1-20 with only a few bugs (quest givers that starts to talk for a minute, making the other party members unable to complete the quests because the first one already have ran away when completed it) and I am currently leveling from 58-71 with minor glitches.

But this is early beta so glitches are to be expected.
The idea with this release is that we can make it better together. I am far away from a C# coder, I have actually no knowledge of the language so this is totally new to me. And due to this the code is most likely far far away from being optimized.

 

[Modernn]

Awesome. I'd love nothing more than to have this plugin. I was just thinking that you could possibly have it do some sort of check to see if the other one is on the same quest. I was thinking that you could set it up to possibly switch between party bot and questing depending on the status of the other one. I think if you ran a check to see if one was done with a quest before the other one? Enabling the party bot and the leader plugin on the chr that is done wiyh the quest and then turning the party bor on on the chr that is still working on the quest.

I think you could use some of the code from the [Mixed Bot] for switching between the party bot and the questing bot.

Say for instance you are on the quest: [I Was A Lot Of Things...]
You have to loot 10 Shadowmoon Tubers. Chr A get's all 10 and then Chr B still has 6 to go. It would send a message to Bot A from Bot B that would switch Bot A to party mode and turn the leader plugin on on Bot B.
Quests that take you on flight path's you could have them hold until the other chr had the window open with the flight master and then have them click at the same time.

I have little to no coding experience but I have thought about how to go about making this plugin and how to do the least coding possible. I would like to collaborate with you and get this going. I think that it could be a very successful addition to the collection of Plugin's for HB.

great....was waiting for that....

gonna test ))

An update have been released, RaF Quester 1.0.2.

Current issues
Character phasing on quest turn in.
1-5 questing with different classes.

1.0.2
Fixed some bugs and errors.
[Experimental] Added a new feature that will check if all party members are the same level upon level up. If they are the same level, the profile will reload to make sure that we are in the correct area for our level (I do not know if this feature works yet, but I had to push this update).

 

[Malvagio]

will test and report back once severs are done maintenance.

Also it is my understanding that you:

1. Have two HBs synced to the WoW accounts
2. Enable this plugin on both HBs
3. Load the same profile on both.
4. Press start at the same time.
5. Hope for the best?

Also what happens if one character levels faster then the second? For example if one is wearing heirlooms and the other is not.
Also can this be done with multiple accounts. For example if Account 1 (A1) RAFs account 2 (A2) and A2 RAFs account 3 (A3) can i then party A1, A2, and A3 together and run these plugins and get the 3x XP?

 

[Owneth]

You should create a local server between them and have them communicate so one doesn't get ahead of the other. I gave this idea to RAFBoxer from FPSWare also. Maybe you and him should buddy up and you can help him code some maybe? Make the best botbase ever.

Yes, those are pretty much the steps. But if one of the bots goes out of sync, the other one will stop eventually too. And you will just have to go back manually with the bot that's a head.
I do however have some ideas how to fix this.

With heirlooms I think that if you're other character is 3 levels or higher the highest character will no longer receive 3 times the experience, however your lower level character will still get the bonus. I have not tested this but I think that I've read it something like that once upon a time.

FPSWare is way out of my league. He's been a coder for years and have tons of knowledge, I've been playing around with HB plugins for 2-3 weeks maybe and I hardly know anything about C#, so I am not sure he would approve my teamwork. Also, could you give me a reference link for that local server stuff, I could check it out. But don't have any high hopes!

Kind regards.

 

[Malvagio]

So while waiting for "my friend" top get closer to the quest giver i noticed the bot doesnt keep the quest window opne but in fact keeps opening and closing it? Is there a way to stop that from happening?

 

[Owneth]

You should still try. Nothing wrong with sharing information or gaining knowledge on something you didn't know. Maybe he can help you!
