For those not familiar, we're talking about this Wiki page (
[wiki]About HonorBuddy Profiles[/wiki]):

Do I have to set this path somewhere? Or do honorbuddy find them automatically?
I wrote that. It has nothing to do with how Honorbuddy operates. That is why it begins with...
"We recommend that you..."
For Meshes, you'd set your
"Mesh folder:" configurable to point to
C:\Games\HB-Extras\Mesh. When downloading a profile, it means you would put the profile in
C:\Games\HB-Extras\Profiles, then navigate to that directory when using the
Load Profile button.
There is no magic here. Honorbuddy doesn't do this for you--its all part of a user's workflow. You may choose to follow this workflow, or invent your own.
Basically, its a management technique for preventing problems created by inexperienced users. User's typically do very bad things like install one Honorbuddy version on top of an existing one rather than do a 'fresh' install.
Keeping the things you want 'persistent' across Honorbuddy releases in a separate directory shuts down a
large number of user issues. How many times in the forum do you see users asking for older versions of Honorbuddy, CC, and plugins? The recommendation shuts those problems down too, by suggesting you maintain your own repository of favorite plugins/CCs/etc.
In short, the page is a technique you may (or may not) choose to employ to keep yourself out of trouble in installing and using Honorbuddy. No where on that Wiki page does it say 'Honorbuddy does this for you.' I re-read the Wiki page, and honestly don't see how the wording and ideas could be made
any clearer. That page even provides the
rationale for the recommendation.
I understand that English is not everyone's native language. That's why I try to write very precisely to facilitate the usage of translation engines such as Google's. If you've suggestions for improving the content, I'm all ears.
As for the bot being 'awful', I suggest you get your money back, and then spend it on the bot you feel is superior. Such complaints are unwelcome here (without commensurate constructive feedback). You voted 'Honorbuddy' with your money, so its hypocritical to imply Honorbuddy is not a worthy bot.
