Guide to GB by Kick Note: This is a text / picture guide by Kick - If you do not like Video guides (Tony's Video Guide is linked at the end of this thread) Note: Your keyboard must be set to English (EN) and your movement keys must be default in WoW! (ASDQWE) Note: Auto loot must be on (Interface -->[x] [Auto Loot] <-- check this box, then hit OK) Hello all, with the new 4.x.x patch, it looks like more and more people are botting and more and more people don't know how to get the bot working. Here's what you'll need to do after you purchase GB: 1) After you have purchased GB from Bossland GmbH, use the login details that you supplied there to verify that your firewall / antivirus will let you log into http://www.buddyauth.com/ Note: If your username is capitalized like mine (Kickazz006) you will have to log in with the letter(s) capitalized Note: If you get error NOT PAID - Then your payment hasn't been verified yet (or rejected) 2) If it lets you log in and you can see PATH (Thumbnail attached), then you know that your account is open and ready for use Note: If you bought GB 1 copy - its only for GB. If you bought GB lifetime, its 3 logins to any buddy products at 1 time Note: This is also where you upload profiles.xml that you download from buddyforums 3) Close the web browser 4) Open a new browser and go to Download details: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (Web Installer) and install .net Framework 3.5 for windows Note: If you have a Macintosh you'll need to emulate windows for WoW / GB 5) After .net 3.5 is installed, restart your computer Note: It's best to verify that your computer is up to date (Window's Update) 6) After restart, go to /WoW/WTF/Config.wtf --> right click and open with Notepad (or edit) Note: I use a second folder for my bots, I suggest you do too if you bot a lot. 7) look for --> SET gxAPI "D3D##" <-- if this says D3D9, close the window. If it says D3D11, change 11 to 9. If there is nothing in there, put SET gxAPI "D3D9" into there, save and exit Note: make sure WoW is not running when you do this! 8) Open WoW and log into your farming character, verify that it has skills (herbing and / or mining) 9) Open GB by clicking Gatherbuddy_Standard or Gatherbuddy_Goldseller (Make sure you unzip it first!) What do these mean? Standard simply farms for X hours and closes when inventory is full Goldseller farms for X hours and mails to another toon or guild bank deposits the farmed goods into the guild bank 10) After it opens, you'll see 2 boxes, move the smaller top box to the side for now and look at the bigger box beind hit. Note: If it doesn't open, please look to find the solution. This guide is assuming that your computer works with GB Note: A common problem is that UAC is turned on, either turn it off or run as admin. Also let GB through your firewall(s) 11) Put in your username and password, click "Login" Note: If you have a firewall, it will ask you to let GB in (or it may auto block it) -- Click yes (or you have to manually let GB through) 12) Click the "Path" tab and choose the profile that you would like in the drop down box Note: This is where you would have uploaded your paths onto http://www.buddyauth.com/ - if you don't have paths, upload some and then come back to this step 13) Click "Load Path" 14) Under Patrol Mode, select "CIRCLE" or "BOUNCE" Note: Circle follows the path from beginning to end, Bounce will bounce around the path points 15) Click the "Get" tab - this is where you select what the bot will do ie: get herbs / ore / clouds and where it will send it ie: exit game, guild vault (dalaran), mail loot to alt Note: If your bot dies a lot (hopefully not) check "repair every 2 hours" 16) Click the "Other" tab - this is where you have other options for your bot such as repair, Flying in Outlands / Northrend, Rez options, eat / drink options, and how long you want the bot to bot for 17) The best thing to do now is click [X] so that GB can now save all of your options (in case it has an error or WoW closes and makes GB close) 18) Set your "Bar 3" to these specifics: 1 - Mount 2 - Cloud Gatherer (engineers only) 3 - Food 4 - Drink 5 - After death, the bot clicks this button --> Some people put an aura or pet here. I leave it blank 6 - Rotation hit every 10 seconds 7 - Rotation hit every 6 seconds 8 - Rotation hit every 1 second 9 - Button hit every 5 minutes (usually a buff / macro) 10 - Button hit every 15 minutes (usually a buff / macro) - - not used = - not used 19) Go to Interface --> Mouse --> [check] Click-to-Move --> hit ok 20) Verify that you are running in windowed (GB will not work in fullscreen mode) by going to --> Video --> Display Mode [Windowed] <-- make sure it says windowed. Hit ok and return to game 21) Resolution doesn't matter, but its a bot and I use 800x600 on my bots and then I shrink them as small as possible and put them in the corner 22) Type: /console maxfps 25 <enter> /console maxfpsbk 15 (if this is made for HB make sure it its 25 / 25) 23) Bots don't need graphics, so mine are set to Low (and verify everything is set to low after the slider bar has been moved to low) 24) Log out of WoW so that these settings are saved to your config 25) Log back into WoW, shrink it, open GB (standard or Goldseller) and click [Start] <-- it should now auto load your settings and start botting (assuming that you're in the zone that you're supposed to be farming in) This concludes Kick's Guide to GB. Note: Tony has made a guide as well if you like video guides http://www.thebuddyforum.com/gatherbuddy-forum/guides/8352-gatherbuddy-guide-manual-faq.html If you're looking to make GB profiles, simply do the following: Open GB Login Set the recording ms at 3000ms (maybe a little lower) Name the profile Press recording Lead your char around the map When you're done, press stop Press the refresh button and you'll be able to see and load your profile!
Good Stuff Kick! btw, do you know anything about writing plugins? I would really like to learn and you seem to like doing these guides xD
Edit the Auto Loot part and tell them exactly where it is . Some people might have a "hard time" finding it . Other than that awsome SUPER MEGA nice guide.
Hit the "Wiki" at the top of the page. I haven't messed w/ code in years. Hopefully someone updates Wiki eventually Done <3
Aint nothing on the Wiki for Plugin writing or CC writing ;( ill just have to learn by looking at others xD probebly the best way anyway! xD ty anyway Kick!
Its alright, I generally don't ask for my stuff to be stickied, but there are soooo many noobs on these days
Well obviously we need more; and mine was made before a few peoples. My FAQ has most of the things in it, but ppl didn't want to look at that, either lol
Hey Kicks! I believe the login site for this is wrong. I believe that Honorbuddy - Login is what it needs to be, buts the guide says to goto http://gb.authbuddy.com. Which is wrong, as far as I know of. Correct me if im wrong, still kind of new lol.
