[Plugin] BuddyManager - A Botbase/Profile/Zone Changer (Now w/ Scheduling)

Hello mate, first i want to thank u so much for this just awesome tool, its soooo damn good i love it srsly.
I have few problems, and its not rly buddy manager problem but it affect him, for eg. i have problem with Vashj zone, as teleports for it move u to one of 5-6 posible "bases", most of my bots have teleport leading them to very first base aka ship where players start with vashj quests, so when buddy manager takes portal it cannot leave ship, it clearly read " we are moving out of ship" but i only see my toon randomly bugging into ship walls.
To jump onto question, where is best to make my toons finish their quests in which zone camp? so that when they take Vashj teleport they can without problems leave base and start moving toward given profile.
( im mostly using abysal deeps profiles but soon as im out of ship, HB doesnt have problems swiming all way to zone where profile is )
When ever but literaly every single time bot takes teleport wow will crash, i dont know why that happens but even after Areloger gets me back into game, on Twilight and Vashj, tbh all closed spots where u get after taking teleport, nothing happens, in debug i can see bot has problem saying he cant find proper way to leave that spot.
So how do i use Buddy Manager if Honorbuddy cant do shit before i move charrs out of <insert random closed spot, house, tower what ever) ?

Also i noticed just once tbh, my druid bugged into stone that stand just next to Uldum portal in Org, and it was bugging there for few sec before i stopped it as i didnt want all players around me to see that. Buddy Manager took over from HS spot aka Tauren hood in OG. So i changed HS to another place in OG and bot randomly bugged leaving new HS house, i srsly dont like even thinking about bugging in OG where everyone will see me....

Im guesing there are some problems with Honorbuddy, maybe some of my plugins, Areloger and Buddy Manager, but if i could at least know how or what other ppl that have this great tool are doing to make it work properly i would be very happy

I'll look into the Vashj'ir portal-in areas. I knew they aren't all in there and working perfect.
I'm going to have to quest through it to get all the Port in areas working properly, so as I go it'll get updated.

As for the getting stuck on a rock by the portals in ORG I've never seen it, but then again weird stuff happens.
The getting stuck in the buildings should not be happening. I'll start up my horde toons and have a look.

If you could attach a log next time you have problems with it that'd help a lot.
And also, you were using a Tauren only correct? They have a bigger "hit box" (which is just the size of your character 3-d in-game.

Thanks,
Panda.
 
Hello, thanks for looking into it Panda, Yes all my toons are taurens, but for example stucks in OG happend while they were in fly form, il test buddy manager again later today and il attach logs.
Biggest problems i have atm when using it are crashes after every portal taken, and even when return doesnt leave spot except if its Uldum as portal leads u to open spot and HB doesnt have problem taking over from there, but for some reason twilight highlands horde portal and vashj closed spaces like ship bug HB, as all bot does is stand there for ever.

Now when you say "even when return", do you mean you restarted Honorbuddy?
If you restarted HB while still in that building/cave/ship it won't move. It has a set way of doing things, and when it gets restarted that order is reset.

Yes the crashes are normally from HB trying to access WoW while it's in a loading screen.

All I can ask is how long does it take for your comp to get into the loading screen after clicking a portal, and how long does that loading screen take?
And also are you using any other plugins/wow addons?
 
Hey Panda, I now understand reason for why it doesnt start doing stuff after crashes as u explained, yes i have Areloger that after i crash on portals do relog of wow and HB.
As for second answer, well its top end PCs it takes them very short time to load zones, and this is list of plugins im using: Areloger, Shut-up, decline-all, flask of enhancment, i have about 6-7 more plugins but they are all disabled.
I do have few addons running, none of which i rly need, so i will try with them disabled.

Btw this has nothing to do with buddy manager but i see u know your way around this things so why not ask, is there way to make honorbuddy not wait 2sec+ after he tryes to take node and it fails, for example druid lands, it fails gathering as he was still moving, then honorbuddy waits for like 2sec+ maybe even more before it tryes 2nd time to gather ?
Thanks :D

Coolio.

I'll need a log or two from the crashes (the HB log, not the wow crash log) to find out what's causing it.
BuddyManager forces HB to sleep for like 4-5 seconds after clicking the portal, and then sleeps until you are out of the loading screen (or should), so it shouldn't be causing the crash.
The log should help me narrow it down to what's doing it.

Also if you could disable all but "Refreshment detection" and "bug submitter" and "BuddyManager" plugins, and all wow addons, then have it use a portal, and if it still crashes that'd be the log to attach.

Thanks,
Panda.
 
I will test it in few hours and attach logs back, thank u very much for help!
 
Hey Panda, love the new updates (just started up again after a few months) they are amazing!
I'm just wondering if you could remove the code that sets "Loot Mobs" on, it's getting kind of annoying ;P
Other than that I have only had issues with the Vash'jir horde ship whilst botting with a Tauren.

Thanks for the praise :)

But there is NO CODE in BuddyManager that adjusts the Loot Mobs setting. BuddyHelper does, but I'll be making an update to that soon.

And yes, the Cows are causing problems :p
 
Damn those cows!
Thanks panda.
For your work Blizzard are soon to be making you the next playable race =D

I know.
It's cause I'm just too legit.

The convo went:
"Hey Blizz support... We need Panda's because that's my nickname of thebuddyforum"
"Ok, we'll get right on it Panda. Thanks for the great idea!"

And so it was, and forever shall be.
 
Hi, I am able to get this to work on a 2nd toon. When i attempt to add other toons i receive the following msg and it closes after clicking start. [BuddyManager] We're done here for now. Awaiting something to do :)
I created another bot folder and copied new buddymanager into it separating them and still receive this.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated thanks,

It shows you are starting it in the first zone.
[12:04:09 PM:073] [BuddyManager] Starting First Task![12:04:09 PM:077] [BuddyManager] You have chosen to start the bot in the first zone.
[12:04:09 PM:077] [BuddyManager] First Task Is As Follows:
[12:04:09 PM:077] [BuddyManager] BotBase: Gatherbuddy2
[12:04:09 PM:077] [BuddyManager] Zone: Deepholm
Click to expand...

Are you not in Deepholm when you started it?
I see nothing wrong with the log except that Apsalar (a CC you have installed) is not compiling properly so you can't use it.
 
Looks like i fixed it. Probably should have drank some coffee first this morning..:) One toon had full bags. I had the mail recipient in but it was still check to log and exit. The other toon didn't have twilight highlands portal. I removed the profile using it and now its fine.

Thanks for quick reply. Its working great now..:)

Lol.
I was doing testing of with the newest version of HB, and my toon had full bags.
I was also being distracted by people in my room, and funny youtube vids.

I forgot to change the bot settings to "Mail" items instead of "Hearth and Logout" 4 times in a row.
This caused HB to exit wow, and of course itself, leading me to believe BuddyManager was doing something stupid, until I looked at the logs.
The next 3 times were just out of neglect.
Successful testing for the win :P
 
if my bot and wow idle, i uese relog so the zone will not be the first place, it will crash wow or quit wow process

If you are using a relogger with this, it can create problems.

I'll be working on a "Continue Where Left Off" option where it will do exactly the next thing it was supposed to do.
That way if your wow crashes or you get disconnected while BuddyManager was trying to do something it won't get stuck.

At the moment if it crashes after you use a portal to vashj'ir or Twilight Highlands it will most likely bug and stop working.
I say most likely because this plugin doesn't check if it should move outside unless it just took the portal.
If HB gets restarted, then the plugin starts back at the top of the list, and thinks it didn't just go through a portal.

If you had a different problem please attach the log, and a Screenshot if you think it would help.

Thanks,
Panda.
 
if the plugin can check the zone if this zone list at zhe config , then start this config?
