Hey,

Do you think it would be 'a nice to have' built in vendors for hb so it will check your alliance then check your zone then check which vendors is closer then go to it?

Also does anyone have a list of vendors they have used to level a hunter as it will always require arrows/bullets?
 
I dono about the addon.

But for your second question what I do with the new HB2 navigation system it will path you to your destination. So generally speaking my paths run all near big cities, that way I can hearth, train and let the bot run me back. This is a good setup. As for ammo you can get that in the big city when you hearth back just get a lot...a lot. A good way to pick up vendors is looking on here for vendors in the area of the bot and copying the location. If not you will have to find the vendor and go over to them and click target info in HB and get the info that way. Wow Wiki has a good list of vendors.
 
If I was allowed to load DLLs from plugins, I'd write a plugin to auto-choose the closest, and best vendor. It's really not a difficult task, but I can't be arsed to transfer a fairly small SQLite DB, to straight C# code.

Your logic always makes my day. So smart this penguin. Please do make the plugin!
 
Apoc: is that the devs team stopping you loading dlls?

correct me if im wrong weren't some cc's dlls?

Striker13: i currently do just find the vendors but i was guessing someone on here would of botted a hunter through to 80 so they may already have a list of the vendors.

Aside from missing API required to 'override' the vendor selection, no, there is no way to load a 3rd party DLL as far as I'm aware. (Especially not one that contains some C++/CLI code that delves down into native code for the SQLite support)
 
im not that well versed in programming but if im right....sqlite is a db which can be contained with in a programming language so what your suggesting is to write some code that will retrieve data from a db....but wouldn't it be easier to write the npc's and locations in the code as its very static and wont change that often?

This is true, however with an SQLite DB, you can store far more than just the vendor locations (and their flags). You can store which items they sell, so you can proactively pick the vendor who sells a specific item. You can store all sorts of stuff in there that makes life easier.

@Tony; I'm aware. (Hence my new thread in the developer section)
 
Tony - if there is no dll support then is there any way for the suggestion to become a reality?

Also is there going to be an api written that can override vendoring?

There is a way to do it, but it's not efficient, and it's quite dodgey to say the least.

And without DLL support, it's still possible, but a giant pain in the ass.

I see where this could go - you could write it recognize the class then the level then the regent needed aswell
