[Stable] Honorbuddy 1.9.5.0

Hawker · Jul 12, 2010

This is a release to flush out the last bugs in Honorbuddy grinding, pvp, party mode and questing.

As you can see, Nesox, Main and all have done a huge amount of coding in last 2 weeks so there will be bugs. Please use the template below to report them. It has been tested by combat class developers and hopefully any remaining bugs will be found over the next few days so we can do another release next week.

Changes:
- Improved anti-detection measures.

- Grinding, PVP and farming greatly improved in terms of targeting and in terms of speed.

- Honorbuddy will now only target mobs actually in our path when looting, skinning, etc, instead of the first unit in the target list. This avoids going backwards, or skipping nodes for no apparent reason.

- More stable decision making on quests and grinding. - Combat Assist, formerly called RAF, works better than ever. Combat classes need to support it.

- Improved Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin and Eye of the Storm profiles with randomised hotspots.

- Improved Strand of the Ancients support.

- Improved Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley start system so that it no longer has all HB bot in a battleground waiting at the same spot.

- Improved quests overrides so that almost all collect, kill and delivery quests can be supported.

- Automatic training is in the base now, but needs to be enabled in the settings file if you want to use it. Its not 100% reliable so don't post bugs with it.

- Automatic vendoring is in the base now, but needs to be enabled in the settings file if you want to use it. Its not 100% reliable so don't post bugs with it.

- Added the ability to turn the 'Kill Between Hotspots' targeting option on and off. Turn it on to have Honorbuddy act as it used to. Turn it off to keep full control on where you can kill mobs.

Moderator Edit: Autoequip does not work with this release. eTrain and other older plugins may also cause issues.

Some suggestions for the CC devs if they want to adapt their cc's for the Combat Assist bot (RAF)

Ignore TaggedBy / Tapped checks in pull/combat if you have any
Make sure the current target is the leaders target, hb should do this but just incase if you lose it
Party behaviors, Heal/Tank/Buffing
Aggro Managementm, if ure really nitty picky
Crowd control etc.. regular cc behaviors

BTW! Noone seems to have noticed the new members of the CombatRoutine it's been there for a while!
Example from my mage:

Code:

    public partial class Merlin
    {
        private Composite _preCombatBuffBehavior;
        [COLOR=Red]public override Composite PreCombatBuffBehavior[/COLOR]
        {
            get
            {
                if (_preCombatBuffBehavior == null)
                {
                    Log("Creating 'PreCombatBuff' behavior");
                    _preCombatBuffBehavior = CreatePreCombatBuffsBehavior();
                } 
                
                return _preCombatBuffBehavior;
            }
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Creates the behavior used for buffing with regular buffs.
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns></returns>
        private Composite CreatePreCombatBuffsBehavior()
        {
            return new PrioritySelector(
                new Decorator(ret => !Me.Mounted,
                              new PrioritySelector(
                                  CreateBuffCheckAndCast("Frost Armor"),
                                  CreateBuffCheckAndCast("Arcane Intellect")))
                );
        }
    }

    public Composite CreateBuffCheckAndCast(string name)
    {
        return new Decorator(ret => SpellManagerEx.CanBuff(name),
                             new Action(ret => 
                                 SpellManagerEx.Buff(name)));
    }

If you override any of the behaviors it won't use the NeedTo../Do...Action() functions meaning you don't have to check the same thing twice eg;
check if you need to rest in NeedRest and then have the same checks in Rest() to determine what needs to be done.
PM me if you need more example or want some tutoring

-Snip-[/B]

I'm most interested about this one.
Does that mean that the previous Anti-Detection measures were flawed and are now improved? Or does it mean that there was nothing wrong with it yet you improved it for increased safety?
Or it just means that the annoying "Warden Check" is now gone? =D

Thanks for the lovely release guys!
Gonna start a new account just to try it

Flyryan · Jul 12, 2010

Thank you so much for your hard work guys.

ryoko90 · Jul 12, 2010

Great work guys !

Nuok · Jul 12, 2010

I have a few questions, and a bug find;

So i notice the new use object type, can this also be used for spells? (also could you possibly give an example, im not sure if say you have to use an item on a specific mob)

Bug report:
Got stuck after handing in a quest, log shows an exception so it should help you

(i dont think you will need much more info as the log is very short and the exception seems to be detailed).

I left it for around 1min, after that a stop and restart forced it to move on.

Actually, just relaized i left some addons on so it could be that.

ps. any chance of an update to auto equip?

Ibot112 · Jul 12, 2010

First update

Hello devs, this is the very first update of HB I am getting, and it seems that you're striving for perfection, very well done. Thank you for your hard work.
