someone probably offered fpsware some $$$ to keep it private, it happens with a lot of his work, because his work is always high standards

Ok, before this gets too carried away I need to clarify a few things.

Farmer Joe will be free. What you have seen in the screenshots and the behaviors / actions and what I've described will all be free. I was merely broaching the topic in a "what if" scenario. The poll I suggested was merely so I could gauge interest in those that thought this botbase could be worthy of payment.

Of cause, donations are different story. I am not advise to receiving donations but they are just that, donations. They are not forms of payment for access to bigger, better features. They are a financial gift to show appreciation or gratitude.

Guys, I have some news. Unfortunately it's not good news.

As I'm sure many of you are aware there is a fierce legal battle between Honorbuddy and Blizard. Recently there was a court order preventing German customers access to certain features within Honorbuddy, some of those features being gathering of nodes (herb, ore) and support for flying bot bases.

As these forums are open to all users in all countries a public release of Farmer Joe could be perceived as ignoring the court order by facilitating the use of a flying Botbase specifically for gathering nodes.

In order to prevent any legal complications for Honorbuddy and Bossland I have elected to hold off on a *public* release or Farmer Joe.

How will none-german clients get access to the private version then?

In the german release of Honorbuddy the object manager does not allow the detection of nodes (Ore, Herbs etc). Its coded into HB itself.

That being the case what is preventing you from releasing FJ? IF this is only a "Private" release how do we get in on it?
 
Yeah info on how to access to private non-german version would be great fpsware!
 
there is no private access! there is no release yet!
Currently (after HB Update) FJ does not compile (dunno if FPS already started working on it, if not, i'll start tomorrow)

@All Germans - there will be no german Version of FJ, after talking to Bossland and getting Feedback to my questions which are related to the legal part of the workaround, i got an easy "NO WAY, we will block it if we get information bout a workaround".
So we won't ever add a workaround for german users.

This is pity, but saves some time for other stuff.

Thank you for the update and answering my question.
 
So developing goes forward on FJ?
Just DE users can not profit of it in any single way.

Greetings
 
Forward? strong words ;)
slowly^^ i'm still "learning" what fps did, how he did, why he did :)
nice code so far, and many things he does, the biggest changes which will noone ever see is about updating code and finding issues, cause most stuff is very stable atm in my opinion
but have to ask fps what he have on his to do list, what he planned before is flue to implement
 
ahh i remember at a time you said around 3 weeks release "or was it 2?" 2 months later, we have nothing but tension dropping.

you should lose the sense of entitlement. hes made a crap load of work and been open and honest that this project is not his main priority and that life does actually happen to some people.

just appreciate that some people are willing to make the effort for the good of the community, be patient. it will get released when its ready for release.
 
I think people frequently forget I am only undertaking this as a hobby, I am not a paid employee of Honorbuddy nor have I been contracted to produce this work. As such, it will be given the time and consideration it deserves second to everything else that is happening in my life.

Where delays have been experienced I have gone to great lengths to keep the community informed of my progress, or lack of progress as the case may be. I will admit that from time to time motivation has been one of those delays. This project has taken an absorbent amount of time and continues to cause headaches at almost every step of the way.

At present I have another developer assisting with this project, Stormchasing, but he is also involved in many other works and as we all know there is only a limited number of hours in each day.

This project will still be released in one form or another. It may not be completed any time soon but it will be completed. I am not going to put any deadline on this for a public release as we all know how that turned out :)

I appreciate all the work you're doing here, and I think that the new botbase will pay off in spades.

But, I must do this:

Honorbuddy team should pay your effort.. times go on and on and still Gatherbuddy sucks like monkey ass :(

I'm pretty sure that if you paid FPS a salary to actually work on this project he would likely be more inclined to care about deadlines and schedules and such... Until such time let the man enjoy his life since most coders here do this as a side project /hobby and not for a living. Or a better and more productive use of your time would be to write your own Gather Bot code and quit trying to downplay the tremendous efforts that FPS and others like him contribute to this site and this community.
