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

Sometimes it will land on the very edge of a digsite, not servayable, bot will stand there until i nudge him into the accuall digsite, its really close tho talking bout half a ingame foot.

this is in EK if that matters.

 

I'm having big troubles anytime the bot wants to go into and out from Mount Hyjal. It gets stuck everytime on the edge of the mountain surrounding the area(either at the foot of the mountain if going into the zone, or the edge when trying to get out) and just sits there hoovering. I've deleted my meshes folder and redownloaded and I'm using the latest HB and ArchBuddy. Anyone else experiencing the same things?

Other than that, amazing work, I really like it!

 

You need to have purchased Honorbuddy Lifetime. If you do not have Lifetime you can request an upgrade, should you want to

Very nice plugin, however I can not use it ANYMORE... I prefered the older versions, that allowed using a ground mount as well. Now it works only with flying mounts, which is kind of sad.

Why not allow the use of ground mounts, even if it takes much longer ?

 

I hope to see an update soon.
Keep up the good work.

 

Hello, just wanted to say Thank You for developing this great BOT! I know you’ve spent some time developing it and for the most part, it works as intended… Everyone knows the bugs with meshing, and I’m sure you have your hands full there but I was wondering if you could add a small amount of customization in a future release?

Possibilities: (only requesting) Will make it very usable after you level:

1) Being able to select your fly mount, I’m a druid and AB always uses swift flight form for me and when it gets to a dig sight I get an error ‘Cant use while shape shifted’ about 3 or 4 times before I come out of form…

2) Possibly adding a ‘blacklist’ a dig site options page… Either by having an options window with a list of dig sites with checkboxes for sites to not dig up? (would fix everyone’s problems with the troubled dig sites until you have had time to address the meshing for those areas)

3) Possibly adding a priority option for fragment farming… I have now hit 525 and would like to focus on Tol’vir, Fossil and dwarf fragments and don’t have any need for the night-elf (unless there aren’t any of the others, or I feel I need to clear them out) instead of always going to the closest dig site, we can focus on the priority cultures?

Keep up the hard work!
Thanks.

 

this works great so far, no problems yet, thanks a lot for this!!

 

Good idea. Even if ground mount farming would take longer but therefore runs smoothless (on paths not straight through woods and stuff)...and through that it can run the whole night it would still bring more fragments then using it over night and it works 1 hour and then starts freakin out in the sky or gets stuck in a tree and then stops doing nothing for 7 hours.

 

Feeling bitter, huh? It's been said, that it's adviced not to use AFK.

 

Cannot stress this enough: DISABLE ALL ADD ONS!

This plug-in works amazingly well as long as you do this.

 

having a few problems around feralas mainly by north border around dire maul and gordunni outpost also in desolace valley of bones problems with mapping

 

I agree. When I first started using this Bot, I accidently had AutoAngler enabled... It worked for a short bit, then always messed up loosing where it was suppose to go.... Disable addons, also for your first 5 dig sites be patient, there are hundreds of meshes that will get downloaded with this bot... my Kalimdor mesh folder has 756 meshes downloaded! It takes time to download them, but once you have most of them the bot runs very smoothly except for maybe 3 areas! I havent done much with EK as it was stated tested only in Kalimdor.

 

Aye, disabling all add ons really helps

FEATURE REQUEST - Digsite Race Priority - Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the ability to prioritise races would be really handy. ie. Tol'Vir>Troll>Dwarf>Night Elf and if there are three Dwarf sites and a Tol'Vir, it goes Tol'Vir first, that sort of thing.

 

Yeah, early on it was suggested that havin a priority list as well as a black list (don't do these unless there's nothing else to do) would be very nice to have. Especially when you're trying for a specific item.

 

My sentiments exactly.

 

It isnt a problem early on, but when you get to lvl 85 areas is there a way (possibly in the profile that is loaded) to target the mobs in Tol'vir or Hyjal and kill them before walking past and gaining aggro? Death rates would probably go down a bit if i played a little offence vs just defense if you know what i mean?

Also since the last update i notice that AB isnt looting mobs i kills anymore, does anyone else have this problem? I have loot mobs enabled in HB... Please advise, thanks.

 

Mounting in water is improved but my character still tries to survey underwater, and that's usually when it gets stuck.

 

I'm getting this error :

[ArchBuddy v1.0.0.252]:No digsites on the map

And i'm standing on a digsite

Your version is pretty old try, updating it.

 

It doesn't engage the CC until it is in combat (basically once you are agroed and something's on you). He would have to add some of the base grind bot code to it to be proactive with fighting versus reactive.

But then once you do that it'll get a lot more complicated to use the bot. Like right now hardly anything agroes me due to my level. But if the bot gets aggressive (like setting a pet to aggressive mode) then I'll be spending more time fighting all of these low level pissants then actually trying to survey.
