[FREE] Studio Companion

[Studio60]

A lot of the time the bot just goes straight on to the next raid, I queued every raid in the order listed in the bot without modifying it at all, it didn't vendor at all after ToTC, or Hyjal that I noticed, it just went to ashran and kept going. Having to manually remove things from my inventory because even with all 30 slot bags it is getting full

here is the log, the bot also got stuck, idk for how long I went out to dinner and came back to it stuck dead

Good Morning!

So I took a bit more time to comb through your log, because with a new product there might be hiccups. This is what I found:

[table="width: 100%"]
[tr]
[td="width: 250"]1. Sunwell Plateau[/td]
[td]Bot teleported, sold items and repaired[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]2. Obsidian Sanctum[/td]
[td]Bot teleported, sold items and repaired[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]3. Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj[/td]
[td]Bot teleported, sold items and repaired[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]4. Trial of the Crusader[/td]
[td]Bot failed to do the port/vendor run due to a bug in the ToC "Home is where your heart(h) is" profile
You had 90 inventory slots left[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]5. Icecrown Citadel[/td]
[td]Bot did a vendor run before attempting the Lich King to make sure you had enough space
Bot teleported, sold items and repaired after it was done[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]6. Battle for Mount Hyjal[/td]
[td]Bot teleported, sold items and repaired[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]7. Temple of Ahn'Qiraj[/td]
[td]You died and the bot wouldn't find its way back to the dungeon.[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

So there was one time where the bot was unable to sell his stuff. I am currently testing the fix for this.I would also like to suggest that you revisit the items options once more. Keeping all items your character could equip is not a good setup for chainrunning raids. You will run out of bag space eventually. Remember that for BoE items you can even set up a mail recipient (like an auction house character) and simply mail those item there to have more bag space.

I can't really say why you died in AQ40, but there is apparently a bug in the Twin Emperors profile that seemed to go by unnoticed. I suspect your bot stopped when it stumbled over it and then got killed by roaming trash. When you die while Honorbuddy is not running, the raid profile doesn't have the possibility to get you back to the dungeon even if you press start again. This is Honorbuddy behavior, because before the profile death logic kicks in, HB tries to revive the character itself which doesn't work well in dungeons at all.

So what I take from this thread is that I need to fix the vendor logic in ToC and fix the attribute issue in AQ40. I hope that works for you.

I have been creating profiles for quite some time now and after a while you notice the same issues coming up over and over again. One of the most common causes of problems with my profiles stems from the use of Combat Routines that don't support certain Honorbuddy BehaviorFlags they should honor. A few of the most popular combat routines work really great in standard situation, but once you start to challenge them a bit for example by disabling movement in the first phase of the Kel'Thuzad fight, they just won't do what they are supposed to and the profile seems to fail.

As a result, you as customers are annoyed and think the profile is bad. And I have less time to work on great new stuff, because I have to put in extra support time. Reason enough to spend an afternoon in adding a warning to the Studio Companion should you accidentally or unknowingly use another combat routine. Starting with the next release, you will get a warning if you load a raid profile and have any other combat routine than Singular in use. You can choose to deactivate that warning or you can do the better thing and switch CRs. I think we will all benefit from this small addition to the plugin.

Hi Jaladhjin,

thank your for your feedback. I am happy to reply to your suggestions.

1st.. on Obsidian Sanctum when doing Mount run mode.. you could just literally walk in & attack Sartharion directly.. all the trash runs to you.. any 100 can survive & kill 25 man easily.. very quick..

That is a good suggestion. I could see myself adding it as an opt-in option in Studio Companion.

2nd.. I'm finding almost every time I fail @ Lich King 25h with every profile I try to run for a variety of reasons.. which is no problem.. shadow traps & frozen orbs it's bound to happen sometimes.. anyway the idea is allow a sort of "pause" manual style combat bot / enyo / raid bot for an encounter the bot seems to be failing at..

Mmmh, I am not sure if I want to go that route. My profiles target the "afk" audience. I want to create solutions that rely on as little human intearction as possible. Maybe I could do an exception for those fights with an "Pause and Alert" option. I would have to play with that idea for a bit.

3rd has nothin' to do with your current content I'm just curious.. planning to include BoT & BWD in upcoming plans by chance ?

Expanding my raid profiles into Cataclysm territory seems like a natural progression now that all raids below are basically done, doesn't it? The only issue I have right now is a lack of strong characters on level 100. That will change next month when I regain access to my primary accounts after the ban expires. So yes, you can expect something on that front and I have already layed the groundwork for it. So you can expect those raids to pop up eventually.

 

[Studio60]

hey I'm all for afk.. just have a habit of baby sitting

so I guess my trouble with some bosses not dyin' is more specific to those profiles..
only 2 I have noticed.. even while running Singular today.. I've also tried Tuanha & several others just for the sake of argument..
on a 100 Troll Hunter I ignored Muru in Sunwell Plateau & focused on killing the always spawning adds while running towards the fire wall to head to Kil'Jaeden..
on that same hunter when I get to 25H Lich King rather than just tunneling Lich & killing Frozen Orbs if an AoE doesn't happen to.. there's a ton more logic that ends up with me failing the encounter..
the bot tries to run away from frost orbs sometimes.. & likes to kill trash.. which I guess could be another suggestion..
not sure how much is directed at any particular cr & how much would be profile related buuut with 100s especially.. tunneling boss in most cases = win
if you were interested I wouldn't be opposed to screensharing those kills on another character or making videos to show where I end up dying / otherwise failing..

Well, the M'uru behavior is by design. There is a Blizzard bug where M'uru sometimes doesn't turn into Entropius if you kill him too quickly. That is why I had him wait in the back out of range for a while until it was safe to kill him. But I take from that I have to explain this behavior better to users. I will add some overlay messages to make that clearer.

The Lich King ... well, I am not completely happy with it. It works in most cases and I rarely seem to have any issues with it. It is also my most sold product and compared to all the people running it, the number of bug reports are minimal. But I already have a few requests for optimization on that raid and I will add your comment to that list so I can take it into account when I do another pass on that raid.

 

[Studio60]

3 more & I think i'm done ;-) haha

So 1 idea.. I can't think of any immediate problems that could come of it is in Naxxramas.. Patchwerk.. similar to Obsidian Sanctum any 100 & probably even 90 could easily survive attacking Patchwerk directly which automatically pulls all the trash.. easy.. quick :-D

2nd.. I've been intentionally setting up my scheduler to do obsidian sanctum.. ruby sanctum & naxxramas buuut it seems like there isn't any logic currently to say hey.. I could just do OS.. walk outside.. walk into RS.. walk outside.. fly to Naxx.. would be efficient ;-)

Granted yes I could understand many people might not schedule that way.. so if not.. ignore.. if so.. easy :-D

And uhh.. 3rd.. last time I got hung up on the 4 Horseman for 1 being left alive.. maybe because I resisted all his abilities I'm not sure.. watching it right now to see if it happens again.. --- Didn't happen again disregard

Alright, got little time now so only a short answer.

1. Patchwerk: Put in on the list. Easy to implement as an option

2. Direct Flight: Already on the list, but a bit in the back. I will definitely do it, but I have the idea of moving from "traveling xml snippets" to a purely C# task-based logic. It is a lot of effort to hardcode 150 snippets but once that is done I can do so much to improve travel in Honorbuddy. It will then be possible to travel without loading a memory-based, customly created traveling profile but rather just fire off a call in a script of where you want to go and watch the magic happen. At that point my travel options will go insane. Just wait for it.

3. ... Oh, I'm done...

Alright, after a rough week of being quite sick with little sleep I finished the first Studio Planner overhaul to make it futureproof. I will push the update this weekend and then let's hope approval follows quickly.

As you can see from the screenshot in the next version you will have the ability to configure multiple runs to your liking. I implemented that, because I want to add my existing and coming other products to the Studio Companion so that you could have a task for questing, one for dailys, one for raids etc.

I also rewrote the entire data management and setting structure which means I had to reset your settings once. But from now on only item settings and raid options are per character. Configured runs, activated products and general options are now implemented per Honorbuddy installation. I will post the full patch notes once I submitted the product. If nothing comes up that will be in a few hours.

I'm having a strange issue - On only my warrior am I unable to use this with your retro bundle. I start via the plugin GUI and it will start HB but nothing happens, my character will not move other than to update flight paths.

According to your log, you are having this issue:

Buddy.Coroutines.CoroutineUnhandledException: Exception was thrown by coroutine ---> GreyMagic.InjectionSEHException: Injection resulted in a process exception

Does your problem happen repeatedly? Did you try restarting Honorbuddy and World of Warcraft to see if it happens again? Sometimes these issues even require a complete computer reboot due to some ghost Honorbuddy processes in memory.
I would also like to refer you to the article about cache corruption. The last resort would be Honorbuddy:HelpDesk:"Clean installing" Honorbuddy

I hope this helps you somewhat. Let me know of this fixes your issue.

 

[hosco]

It was occurring repeatedly for only my Warrior which was weird.


Clearing all the caches worked perfectly, I had already tried a clean install of HB and PC restart (that didn't work).

Thank you so much for your help.

I am glad it worked. If anything else comes up, let me know.

Hey I installed the plugin and also purchased the Classic, BC and WOTLK package for raids. Im just confused because the plugin doesn't actually load and show the same interface as the pictures you are showing. The bot does work but only under the questing dropdown. I would like to setup the bot to run mutiple raids after one another. Please let me know what I am doing wrong here. Thanks!

From that description it is hard to tell what the issue is. You open Honorbuddy, klick on plugins and you should find the "Studio Companion" plugin in the list. If it is not activated, then activate it, select it and click "Settings".

Then you can enter the Planner through the menu where you first have to tell the plugin which products you own. So you head to the "Product Activation" tab and "Find" the Retro Bundle you bought. Afterwards you can configure all raids you own under the Configuration tab.

There are two possible solutions to this. I will try the simpler one and hope it works, because it is an easy XML adjustment. The dismount itself is btw already in the profile. Two different dismounts to be exact.

The cumbersome workaround (my other option) would be to let the bot fly to a spot outside of the inner Shattrath dome and then let it run on foot to the portal. Although I already know a few people that will complain about a flight-capable character running around being suspicious. Flightor (the HB module responsible for any flight-related movement) does not really like indoor flying and often shows severe malfunctions. I often notice this in the Drag in Orgrimmar.

This is still an issue btw. Theres a real possibility of getting reported when it does this. Any eta on a fix please?

You are right. This has to be addressed immediately. I changed the travel snippet to now dismount more to the center of the hall, then I disable the use of mounts and let the bot walk over to the portal and only reenable mount use on the Isle of Quel'Danas. Submitted now with the other changes listed below. Should be approved soon enough as it is no major change.

[U][B]1.0.151014.1[/B][/U]
[B]Travel Manager[/B]
- Updated a travel snippet leading to the Isle of Quel'Danas from Shattrath
- Added travel routes for Cataclysm raids
[B]Item Configuration[/B]
- Added item data for Cataclysm raids
