[BETA] ArchaeologyBuddy - An Archaeology Bot (with flying)

okay so..

disable dbm, dont use experimental pathing, select a windrider for optimal flying, use blank profile, and let all meshes download and load. and after 100 solve the artifacts as you go didnt know that till i wiki'ed the profession

 

Admin no. Custom mesh folder yes.

 

The bot also gets stuck on ledges, it will keep surveying on the ledge and simply get stuck there forever.

Example: in STV and in the NE areas on top of the houses.

 

working so fucking great thanks thanks thanks!!!!

 

Can we download the complete mesh fole for this one o we can speed it up ?

 

Eastern Kingdoms works well - that's the only place I been running it. Couple of big bugs for you to work on though:
1) Burning Stepps - Gets hung on Blackrock Mnt each and every time... I know, I know - only tested in Kalimdor..... My suggestion is go to MAX HEIGHT when flying though this zone - should fix it
2) Wetlands/Arathi Highlands - gets lost trying to go from one zone to the next if it is digging at Dun Modr
3) Duskwood - gets lost flying into the Twilight Grove
4) Eastern Plaguelands - has problems at the pond just SW of Light's Shield Tower - trys to go into the water - but so far all my relics have been on the actual shore - not in the water

Other than those few - EK is good! Anyone with comments for Outlands & Northrend?

 

Wondering the same myself.

 

I've been running this with the newest version on my pally, in Kalimdor, and I did level 1-240 in one day, as well as got him from 82.5 to 83.75. So I am very pleased.

The only issues I've run into is sometimes it stands in the same spot and continuously spams survey on every cool down without moving. And as well as, some dig sites, it trys to begin surveying in the exact center of the dig site, and that ends up being on the roof of a house or in a corner and it gets stuck.

I've been running it on Kalimdor because on eastern Kingdoms I get stuck on BRM every time it needs to go from a Southern Dig site to a Northern one, and vice-versa.

Still, I love this plugin soooo much. I'm leveling my pally to 85 with it.

Code:

Gets stuck on the roof of the house on the South Wind Village Dig Site in Silithis
Stone Talon Mountains, it gets hung up on the mountain south of Krom'gar Fortress (Gets hung up on it just like on BRM in Eastern Kingdoms)
Un'Goro Crater. Gets stuck on the root of a large tree in the Lakkari Tar Pits Dig Site "-6758.035" Y="-1344.436" Z="-243.8464"
 

**Will update this Code section with more Dig site stucks when I come across them.**

 

No you cant.

 

i see many people ( including me) confuse how to setup this program...i suggest if someone can post a video on youtube or post some screenshots about how the f..k do we set this program, what plugins we must download and from where, which profiles must download and from where... anyway mine problem is that my character doesn't move or get mount up when i start the honorbuddy ( actually i don't know if you need to pay for flying) and when i start HB after 10-20 seconds i get this message ''ThreadAbortException caught inside. ThreadAbortException caught outside. Trial Limit!''
!! can you explain me what is this plz? and any ideas what i have to do so i can farm archaeology? thx for your time!!!

 

i got honorbuddy and saying me

Is actually already known when all spots are available in Kalimdor

 

upgrade to lifetime to fly, u cant fly with normal version

 

how much money it costs?

 

ok.

1. Download Latest HB
2. Make sure you have lifetime sub else u cant fly
3. Download ArchaeologyBuddy.zip
4. Unzip directly to main Honorbuddy folder (It should look like HB\Bots\ArchaeologyBuddy\ArchaeologyBuddy.dll)
5. start HB and log in
6. choose the Archaeology Bot from the bot list
7. Load a blank profile (one attached)
8. Press start and ure good to go!

 

HonorBuddy Lifetime is 80 Euro

 

So far i am not having any problems that cause it to not work but it does take a VERY long time to download the route that it needs to take to get to the next dig site. I know that it does sometimes have to fly a long distance at times but i am wondering if there would be anyway to speed up this process to get the flight path that it needs to take quicker. Right now i am using my mage so i am just going to try and fly myself to the dig sites since i can cover alot of ground by teleporting and see if that will help. I LOVE this addon though. I cant wait to see how far it comes along in the future though. I would be more then willing to pay for this pluging just due to the fact that archeology is by far the worst thing to lvl by hand. Are you planning to set up donations to keep the dev of this plugin going?

 

not unless you have been there before, the delay is the downloading of the meshes , even on 50mbit it takes a few mins, 1ce u have them all tho its not bad, may get an updated 1 now and again tho!

 

Ok thats what i was thinking too because after the 2nd or 3rd dig site it did fly back to the fist site very fast and with little delay. Guess i just have to wait for it to cover the really long travels while i am home and able to keep an eye on it.

 

yup exactly i actualy did both eastern kingdoms and kalmidor, just so it had meshes for both, speeds things up quite a bit, gotta start loading outlands now tho!
