Can I make with ZapRecorder2 a grind profile aswell? I only made now a gb2 profile and it works great! thanks for the amazing program
 
Does this plugin still work? I attempted to use it and it would not work w the latest build... how does everyone make their profiles? im sure there is a mega thread for this so if someone could be kind enough to point me in that direction...

yes and it wil be longer paths then the public profiles here and difference directions. and if you see a bug you just blackspot it
 
Looked through all 21 pages, DL it and used it to make a simple circle profile. Put grindbot on, seems to work OK as it does move around in the circle I recorded. It does not attack some of the mobs and passes by them. I used a level 80 in Negrand Warmaul Orgre farming so most Ogres ignore me even when I get close. I probably need to put a few more specific hotspots closer to the Ogres I want to kill. How do I pull the Ogres to my spot? I am new to HB and learning stuff.

I am making my own profiles to fly under the radar and find the few that are out there with the same problems. If I put down the faction will it target them?
 
Just increase the pull distance in your HB settings.

Might also be, that the ogres have different faction IDs (not testet) you have to insert into your profile.

Also make sure that at least <Factions>-, <AvoidMobs>-, <Hotspots>- and <Blackspots>-Tags are enclosed globally within a
<GrindArea>... </GrindArea> Tag.
AFAIK the recorder doesn't write them per default.
 
And how do ya get Zap to stop anouncing starting ZapRecorder and Stopping? To me that is a flag for banning. The conspiracy nut in me says that zap was written by Blizz to catch peeps doing bots.
 
Announcements are only shown locally on your screen. They won't be sent via Blizz.
No room for conspiracies here. :P
 
So how do you keep the ZapRecorder from announcing in your chat window?
 
Read again!
Everything the bot spouts off is for you eyes only and can only be seen on your PC as a notice.
It is NOT a chat message. No one but you can read it.
So there's no reason to keep the bot from announcing anything.
 
LOL, "So there's no reason to keep the bot from announcing anything"
Sounds like the age old refrain that people in power say to keep the rabble under their thumb. I accept what you say, however I would feel better if it did not announce it. The question is why does it announce it? And yes I am paranoid, remember the paranoid are usually the last ones standing.

Exactly the same day i've made a new profile with this plugin i've got banned for good! so this announcing thing is the key for you BAN!
GL and use it if you want to start over again!
 
BadWolf probably wasn't online for a long time, so I'm afraid he isn't able to check and correct his code.

Ok, now I see the problem.
Per default, ZapRecorder2 writes his messages to ChatFrame1, which is /say after WoW started.
This makes no problems as far as you are not in a crowded area and haven't declared another Channel for ChatFrame1, like /1 or /2.

This is really a bad fault in the plugin code!

May BadWolf excuse me for altering his code here. ;)
I hope, he will read this post and implement the changes into the next update.

To fix that ChatFrame thing, search for a file named "ZapForm.cs" in the Plugins/ZapRecorder2 folder, open it with a text editor (i.e. Notepad) and go to line #1721

Look for
Code: 
Lua.DoString("getglobal(\"ChatFrame1\"):AddMessage(\"|cff2dbbc4ZapRecorder2: |cffffffff " + message + "\",0, 0, 0, 0);");
and replace it with
Code: 
Lua.DoString("UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(\"|cff2dbbc4ZapRecorder2: |cffffffff " + message + "\",0, 0, 0, 0);");

This will output the message as a WoW error message directly to the screen, just like a raid warning.
(Needless to say that HB has to be restarted to take effect of this change.)

But be aware that after an automatic update or re/install of the plugin, this line will be overwritten with the original line again!
This is an inofficial quick fix, so keep an eye on it!

HTH
 
i cannot figure it out some things:
1. the tool for testing route is'nt working cause all hotspots are grey and i cannot use the "go to" .
2. i dunno how to make it/save it in reverse, i opened the route i made and choosed reverse and save it , but it crashes HB when i load the route...
3. i made the route while on combat bot, shall be ok , cause the route works (it crashes with some pathing message once in a while..), but now i cannot use grind bot to test it/blackspot it cause bot starts to navigate thru the route and i cannot test it properly, also tried in combat bot but hotspots are grey, button for go to is also not press-able.
4. i set 2 blackspots till now in my routes, i set blackspot radius to 100 yards, just to be sure :D, but i saw that bot still gets in there (i went to middle of the region and made there a blackspot of 100 y), can i make it bigger? will this work somehow, maybe my 100 yards is too less? (but i repeat, bot went exactly in that spot trying to get a node)


please help a bit, this is great tool, and will help a lot in long run of HB if everyone will make their individual route, which takes the fly time plus blackspoting, only that we need a better tutorial :(
 
For 3.)

You have to define a GrindArea tag for grind profiles that includes the following tags (only).
AFAIK Zap2 doesn't apply them itself.

Just an example(!):
HTML: 
....
....
<Blackspots>
<!-- Your blackspots here -->
</Blackspots>

<GrindArea>
  <MinLevel>1</MinLevel>
  <MaxLevel>91</MaxLevel>
  <Factions>99999</Factions>
  
  <Hotspots>
    <Hotspot X="3769.295" Y="2677.377" Z="737.0806" />
    <Hotspot X="3806.136" Y="2689.894" Z="737.0806" />
  </Hotspots>
</GrindArea>
....
....

HTH ;)
