I've been having a problem for a while in which HB will not use my druid's Flight Form. He will fly just fine on a mount. (He's in Outland, in Terokkar Forest. I know there is not much flying in Hellfire Peninsula but he is long past that point.) I have been trying to troubleshoot this with no success. Brand new, fresh HB installation directly from downloads page, into a new folder, did NOT copy any previous settings or anything at all - check Kick's 1-90 Profiles freshly updated by SVN - check WoW updated - check All caches cleared - check I left both Mount fields empty so they could be "found automatically." When I start the bot, he mounts a ground mount and runs to the very edge of Scryer's Tier (in Shattrath) and just stops and sits there, saying "moving to Hotspot." This is when I stopped the bot. I still get this [ProfileCompatibilityInfo-v1232(warning)] PROFILE COMPATIBILITY WARNINGS: Flying mount (33943) is not known to Honorbuddy. Spelling error? ItemId instead of SpellId? Mount not available on this account? No skill to use mount?Please configure flying mount correctly. I'm also receiving an error "Attribute 'UseFlightPaths' is not recognized by this behavior--ignoring it." but I just figured that this part of the quest profiles didn't use flight paths and it didn't seem a big deal to me. The main thing I'm concerned about is that my druid WILL NOT use Flight Form, even in a brand new, untouched installation of Honorbuddy. Some strange notes about this log file: it claims I altered Singular, which I did not do... it was a brand new install that I did not edit in any way, shape or form... also says I had "AntiDrown" enabled which I did not, because he's a druid. Its box was not checked. It also seems to think I'm using Windows NT, but maybe I'm reading it wrong. In any case, I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.
click "Settings and Tools" and under the mounts section, turn off Random. after that type in the NAMES of the mounts you want to use in the boxes. try and stay away from rare or hard to get mounts. then try it again. if it fails then please upload a new log as an attachment so we can see whats going on. http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/honorbuddy-guides/35945-guide-how-attach-your-log.html
"Use Random Mount" has never been turned on; the box has never been checked. Typing in the name of the mount works fine for the ground and flying mounts, but typing Flight Form results in the error above. Same with typing the ID instead of the name; I already tried all that. As for not using rare mounts, this account only knows common vendor-bought ones. I typed in the names, and got the same results as before.
Hi, Hatredcopter, The profile itself is turning on the Anti-Drown plugin (for all classes). This may be unnecessary for Druids, but it is also harmless. Since we don't know whether the Combat Routine in use is smart enough to shift to 'Aquatic Form' when it needs air, the profile is erring on the conservative side. Windows 7 x64 a 'marketing term'. Windows 7 is a form of Windows NT (NT 6.1.7601) according to Microsoft, and this is how they report it. Look at the "October 2009" entry in the table from this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows [ProfileCompatibilityInfo-v1232(warning)] PROFILE COMPATIBILITY WARNINGS: Flying mount (33943) is not known to Honorbuddy. Spelling error? ItemId instead of SpellId? Mount not available on this account? No skill to use mount?Please configure flying mount correctly. The warning from ProfileCompatibilityInfo is a bug. We've opened HB-437 ("ProfileCompatibilityInfo needs to handle Druid Flight Forms specially") against the problem. This is just a warning that can be safely ignored. Also, it is not the cause of your problem. I've no immediate explanation as to why Flight form is not working for you. Either a name of "Flight Form" or spell id of "33943" should work. There is something curious though. In both of your logs, the Flying Mount Name was unset when Honorbuddy was started: [05:29:12.557 D] MountName has no value yet! [05:29:12.557 D] FlyingMountName has no value yet! This leads me to believe that maybe something is wrong with your Honorbuddy installation, and perhaps your setting choices are not 'sticking'. Perhaps there is some information in this article that can help you work through the problem: HelpDesk: Honorbuddy is not using, or changing, my selected mount There is also the possibility you are not starting Honorbuddy with 'admin' privileges. If that article doesn't resolve your problem, you might try a 'clean install', and see if that eliminates the issue. Please carefully follow the instructions here: HelpDesk: "Clean installing" Honorbuddy cheers, chinajade
Thank you for the explanation! As far as "Anti-Drown" I had disabled it because a few builds ago my druid kept swimming to the surface "getting a sip of air" and putting himself out of aquatic form -_- I just figured it was meant to be always off for druids, and was afraid my settings were doing something wonky all on their own. Now I understand better Ah, okay. My explanation for this is that previously, HB was always reverting to the Ebon Gryphon that had been previously set for another character. I did some searching on the forums and saw the instructions to "delete mount names and check 'find mount automatically.'" This was one reason I reinstalled, so as to completely wipe my settings so it would stop entering the Ebon Gryphon. I couldn't find a check box for "find mount automatically" but I did look in his settings file and saw that it was already set to "true." The forum searches I did had led me to believe that it was important for druids to keep the flying mount field blank. Now, before I reinstalled, I did get it to work ONCE. I opened the druid's settings XML file and deleted "Ebon Gryphon" from his flying mount field that way, started the bot and he went immediately into flight form; it was beautiful. But then hours later when he got stuck on something and stopped the bot, when I restarted it it went right back to the flying mount and the XML was still exactly how I had left it, which is what prompted me to ask for help. Again this was on my old installation that had all the settings for multiple characters, not the clean install which I'm working from now, which the logs I posted are from. I did back up the old logs before I reinstalled, and I can try to find the one where I got flight form to work if you think it will help root out the cause of the issue (maybe for the benefit of someone in the future having a similar problem). Thank you very much chinajade, for your informative and thorough response to my problem. I will most certainly read and follow those instructions carefully, as of course I may have simply made a small mistake and overlooked it. I'll let you know how it goes. I appreciate your time
Can you let us know how the clean install went? I'm having the exact same issue with Kicks but it's at the beginning of Hellfire and just keeps me running the flight path from portal to Thrallmar and back. Trying to get a log as well but it doesn't seem to be logging for some reason, going to look into that as well.
I am completely at a loss. I did a clean install exactly according to the instructions, using the Installer exe (not the zip). I ran it as admin like it says to do. I restarted my computer, ran WoW as admin, logged all the way into the game on my druid, and ran Honorbuddy as admin. No extra anything; just a fresh clean install. I configured my settings, all from scratch, writing a common ground mount in the proper field and Flight Form in the proper field. I configured AutoEquip and Talented2, entered in a mail recipient, and a drink to stock up on. I switched to Questing, loaded up Kick's profile, made sure everything was loaded up and initialized, and clicked Start. Same thing. He mounted his ground mount, ran to the edge of Scryer's Tier, and stopped. Log: View attachment 3104 2014-01-23 18.21.txt So then I moved him out of Shattrath, put him on the ground outside in Terokkar Forest, just in case maybe Shatt was somehow the problem. Exited Honorbuddy and restarted it, as admin, let everything initalize, and started the bot. He mounted his ground mount and ran off toward the hotspot location. Log: View attachment 2404 2014-01-23 18.29.txt I've followed all instructions to the letter; if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. I'm starting to think there is a bug in the program.
Actually, not so much lol. 3 Brand spanking new HB install's in different directories, running as admin, proc priority set to 13. When trying to use the words Swift Flight Form in the flying field or Travel Form in the Ground mount field it auto mounts the first mount in my mount list, Armored Bear. This is 3 separate accounts, 3 brand new HB installs, clean as a babys ass. WoW and HB are running as administrators on Windows 7 x64 in 32 bit mode with a process priority set to 13 for HB and WoW. This happens in Stormwind or Jade Forest with Kicks Alliance Jade forest profile in the questing bot. I just read and deleted last nights logs, I'll get some more today and post them if you need them. BoB
Don't know if you ever resolved this but I am having the same problem. Only on short runs will my guy use travel form. For anything else, he constantly uses his ground mount. I've tried spell id's and names, and I just get: It's not the end of the world.. but I do wish it would work. DX123
