FYI, i figured this out: you have to stop the running profile before you can use My Location (at least for me)

 

"Area: 4000000051FBC315
Area Name: hut_main
Instance ID: 1
Room: small_med_center_adjacent_to_hutpalace"

Both with and without BW you will randomly get stuck in this area and need to use fast travel to get out.

Edit.. Just noticed part of the tree is off the ground.. bet that has something to do with that dead zone.

 

Yeah, now that you mention it I remember getting stuck there a few times when I was leveling my operative.

 

Yeah I see a lot of people companions standing on the spot even now since they are in that void.

Also one in a quest area of a Tatooine farm I got to get to later.

 

It is not 1 ramp on corellia, it is EVERY ramp on corellia that has a mob standing beside it. So forgive me for not running around the entire planet gathering every ramp location.

 

Just like this is how I need information. Going to have them start soon. I just want a very well done list not some rubbish!

 

My Location: <-164.8086, 31.001, 128.7383>

The bot does something really weird here... if it's in combat it just takes the fuck off running through camps to the top of the hill and then resumes combat. It looks like it might be mesh related. I can't figure out any other reason it would take the fuck off like that. There's nothing in the profile that would make it do that.

This problem prevents a profile for running republic dailies from being viable because it can't complete the quest that's in this area. It just keeps running in, pulling the same 3 camps, and dieing.

 

Walter,

One of the issues I have seen is that the bot will not go up into Walkers for slicing the credit cases. Is that something you want here as well? I can go through each world and obtain the XYZ cords of each walker where cases spawn.

Another issue is there is one place I am familiar with that the bot kills a gold star elite and beside the elite is a security chest to loot. If the bot kills the elite it then runs back and forth between the chest and the dead mob loot and never loots either one. If the chest is gone then it will loot the mob. This something I have noticed over several weeks of running my credit grinding profiles. Do you want those as well or should I post those elsewhere?

Thanks to all for the hard work.

 

Yeah a lot of these chest and auto harvest will send the bot into a frenzy. One thing at a time though.

 

Lots of those issues are just the game/mesh. Just give me points of where bot has movement issues like you just said. I have a nice list going to post later of lots of spots that will be remeshed.

 

I do not believe that BW uses "meshes" the same way as HB does, does it? What is the purpose of the "nav server" other than for authentication? When you say you are updating the so-called "meshes"...will that really make any difference in the way that BW interacts with the game and the cause of those "grey issues" that others observed? If it will, then I want to say please update ALL of Corellia - but...somehow I think that is moot.
BW is an awesome product, but me and my tinfoil hat thinks that somehow EA/Bioware is making it very very difficult for botters...

 

No Bioware took a lot of shortcuts. They have 2 processes running in 32 bit since they couldn't come up with a solution in their time/money range to work around it, and that's just a start. People even now on the Bioware forums are screaming and begging for their game to be optimized since to many people with coding experience can see its still in a Beta state.

Way I see it the nav meshes work like you GPS system. If that map isn't updated frequently and new things are added it will run into problems that weren't their before. So if the nav meshes were not updated after every major patch at least their is potential for more problems.

Disney want's to make new star wars movies which might bring back more players.. more players means more chances BuddyWing will be bought, BUT, In Buddy wings current state I don't see many people keeping it long. That means the bot's core might need to be worked on as well as the routines and profiles.

 

They will update the BW.exe with time. Just not worth all resources or enough real hard data for them to know what to fix 100%. Nav meshes are huge for this game and one reason for nav server. Also just that hero engine works differently since of what bioware's core devs did to it. Yes I agree they need to update/fix the BW.EXE but that will take time resources and money. Meshes are the first place to start since lots of stuff moved/changed since of Xpac. They changed areas all sorts of points etc. BW used to work great before 2.0 and I mean AMAZING!



PS: I wouldn't waste my time with this if I thought it was junk. Honorbot just has more support currently since more people play that shit game.

 

Just keep doing what your doing.. its getting better.

 

Anyone know if Section X has been meshed yet? I haven't tried messing around there yet but I've been eyeballing it some for a daily quest profile. I'm assuming it has, but I figured this would be the place to ask about quality of the mesh and how well it works. Does it know how to use the wonkavator?

 

Alderaan is really bad aswell... BW can't even turn in the storyline quest at the very beginning... and well... alot of quests are turned in there ;-)

first is outside, 2nd is inside... bot can't really get in so far ;-)

 

I got stuck here:

[14:26:01.020 N] My Location: <177.834, 44.47966, -367.5>
[14:26:01.020 N] <Hotspot Name="My Location" X="177.834" Y="44.47966" Z="-367.5" />

Yeah, Tatooine is a giant friggin mess.

 

Wasn't a mesh issue but a swtor map issue apparently. I couldn't move out on my own and i could get stuck there again even though there was nothing to get stuck on. weird.

 

Making a master list since I have even more places! I have been testing all last week to get them all! Thanks every one for all the help!
