new version about to hit!
preamble
HB is available as a test release
only.
what does this mean:
"Beta" and "Test" releases are not optimized for performance.
This is not a consideration at this time.

so, i am sure a few of you might understand what developing such a powerful bot like Honorbuddy is means, for all others: a shitload of work.
there was a major patch, many changes were done to HB and
it takes time to properly adapt to this situation
since i'm aware of that many of you want to use Honorbuddy, and dont really read posts on this forum, but just click on download and expect a fully working bot, i must tell you: it doesnt work like this. give the devs time to fix things; doing stuff properly takes time. it always does.
what does this mean for rndbuddy:
i am a community dev, i dont work on HB itself, i work with the API the very skilled Honorbuddy dev team provides.
when you're building a software it's like when you're constucting a building. if your foundation is weak, things will fail (e.g. tower of pisa)
in software developement things are not different at all. if the API you're working on has known issues that need to be addressed you WAIT for that.
and so do I. i can not make sure if crashing or unusual behaviour is caused by rndbuddy/by me if i can not fully rely on my fundament to be solid.
anyhow, to addressrecent issues i
REDUCED rndbuddys features to the minmum: gathering.
new version: 3.0.1.5
channel: release
changelog:
Code:
disabled version check on startup

i will bring back all of those features when honorbuddy is made available as a release version
users not having any issues please note:
i am willing to grant you svn access, where the full version will be still available.
to make those changes i will be taking down rndbuddy now and do a 2 hours maintenance on the system
/edit: maintenance is over!
thats for it now.
