HB ARCHIVES: Kick's Old Posts Thread--DO NOT DELETE!

Hi 2702matt,

My guess is you edited the profile to work around the problem by skipping content. The mesh issue is the correct fix, and we'll just have to wait for it.

Without a mesh fix, you're just going to bump into the problem again at level 8, level 12, and any other time you need to use the elevator.

so if this was a navigation error why was kicks profiles just updated to fix this? just curious how all the blame games work around here? these errors cost us a lot of time and money..so the blame game doesnt help matters..thx

 

Hi, Crush1717,

Kick's profiles are constantly being updated. However, I've no clue what you see that was 'fixed' in this regard. I just reviewed the changelog and changes, there is no such 'fix' for the Orgrimmar elevators.

We are not going to argue about this. Please either report a valid bug with respect to the profile, or refrain from posting here. You've already been told what the problem is. And the Navigational issue is not a problem with this profile. If you don't believe it, I'm sorry.

Yes, there may be dozens of ways to work around a problem, but we're attempting to actually repair them rather than apply a bandaid. If you are unhappy with this, you are welcome to use another profile pack. But griefing and arguing in this thread will not be tolerated.

cheers,

Crush, I will fix the issues (as it's mesh related and not profile related). Please do not take it out on my staff.

I fix mesh issues every weekend or so. But elevators are a little tricky and i'll have a senior dev look into either tweaking that elevator, or rewriting the code so that I can more easily add elevators and make them work better.

 

im not a programer nor am i a expert user of hb

what is mesh im a little confused about it ?

 

Hi again, 2702matt,

Its the machinery we use to do navigation over a surface (as opposed to a volumetric navigation which is required to fly or swim). This is all we've written about the topic:

Profile Writing: About meshes, navigation, and blackspots - Buddy Wiki​

You'll have to pursue the references in that article if you want more.

thank you for a response that makes a little more sense..im sorry to come off rude,,it has been VERY frustrating trying to relevel all new toons with these issues..my apologies!

 

Idk if it's common or what's really going on, but the bot has been leveling in Zangarmarsh for ages now, when the guide on the front page says it's supposed to be in Nagrand or Blades Edge now as I'm 65..I try to start it there but it just keeps walking all the way back to Zangarmarsh and resumes the quests again, I'm a little confused? I'd rather be moving on and getting better exp. Explanation would be appreciated thanks in advance

 

Hi, Duffduff58,

Your answer is here: HelpDesk: Quests are 'green' or 'gray'

This one will be very vague, without a log, needing some investigation, and WoW issue, not profile (but profile might help, if it really exists).
When in Dread Wastes, quite in the begining, you save a Klaxxi in a cave and it should give you a quest.
The way the bot behaves now it pretty much stands right on the guy's spot and tries to talk to him to get the quest, but none is given (repeated for a minute or two at least).
I stopped the bot, tried manually and got nothing. What helped was back up a bit and approach again, and the quest was given.

Essentially the same thing happens when the other Klaxxi is supposed to give me a ride to Klaxxi'ves, backing up a bit and approaching solved it again (this time I left the bot running and just manually moves the toon back a bit, and it worked like a charm).

Happened on 3 bots, but I was watching that part closely, so maybe it is an issue that solves itself after some internal timer in WoW runs out, nevertheless, the back off and approach again definitely worked.

 

Hi, Tomasd,

What you are describing are the classic symptoms of a corrupted cache. You might try this to see if it clears your issue:

HelpDesk: Cache corruption problems​

I have read and I still don't think I understand sorry
Can you tell me briefly what I should do?

 

Hi, Duffduff58,

Since I wrote the explanation, I doubt I'll be able to explain it any better here.

Did you try this?

Press Honorbuddy's "Stop" button
Wait for Honorbuddy to stop
Press Honorbuddy's "Start" button​

Did it work?

If yes... you are off and away.
If no... you'll have to endure it with Kick's profile pack, or find another profile pack.​

How do we explain it better?

cheers,
chinajade

 

Yeah I tried that but it still wants to do the quests, it's fine I'm going to leave it to complete them over night and hope that it moves on when its finished or higher level sorry for being annoying and thank you for fast help!

 

Man....sure isn't very afkable in Jade Forest...

Hi, Keifkeif1, and thank you for the logs!

Actually, the profile looks like its performing very well. The problem is your Honorbuddy installation is having all kinds of problems:

At this point, I'd probably recommend a clean Honorbuddy installation (new directory, no additional plugins or Combat Routines, do not copy anything from your previous installation.)

If you are not off-and-away, please follow up to the Support forum, as your issues are not profile related.

Working like a charm

 

Here's my report for the day:

1. Cutting the Swarm seems to have similar problem with previously what I reported on the macro, /click OverrideActionBarButton1
2. The Taking of Dusklight Bridge quest might have changed, it appears that it is no longer necessary to interact with Lao-Chin the Ironbelly to start the quest, thus the bot tries to interact with Lao-Chin numerous times, sometimes the bot just stops there doing nothing.
