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

where's the donation button raphus

 

hey dude, i just typed in the box my mounts name (Ochre Skeletal Warhorse) and made sure random mount and find mount auto were unclicked, it just used the land one ^^

 

I thumbed through here and probably missed it but is there wa way to blacklist digsites. seem to have one glitched where item is outside dig area and it stays there untill i shut it off

 

just dinged 85 with this addon.. amazing.. thanks for this

 

Raphus said that there is a new release coming in the next few days that's supposed to address the issues everyone is having. He also said that blacklisting is being looked into after he gets the bot stable. It's back about two pages if you want to look at his post.

 

Issues I noticed so far using this:

• It's flying on buildings or tree's sometimes to survey, and then it's staying on the branch or roof most of the time, not knowing how to get down (since there's no possible path by ground).
• It flies into waterbodies, therefor not able to survey nor mount, so it get's stuck in the waterbody (probably nav issue).
• It flies into the Blackrock Mountain (still doesn't go high enough to go over it).
• When having the Dire Maul digsite, it flies to the middle of the arena, and then stops doing anything at all.
• When having 4 digsites in 1 country (I had this in Un'Goro), it's also confused. After manually clearing 1 site, it went on again.
• It still uses druid flight form for short distances (I ran this on a druid).

Suggestion: Assign a "Safe Spot" in each digsite where it can land and survey on groundlevel. From there on force it to use a groundmount to travel the greater (Red) distances until the survey is complete in that specific digsite. Changes it gets stuck that way should then be minimal if not nil (unless the mesh is faulty or there are objects not recognized).

Either way it's a amazing piece of work.

what he said, hope to see the update soon^^

 

This is incredible! Thanks a bunch!

 

The higher you fly the less chance of getting stuck on something! Fly higher! When I watch my toon flying around STV or duskwood I make it just about hover over the trees and it runs alot better cause like GB it will just dive down anyway to loot the sites.

 

Do I need to have a life time subscription to make this work?

 

I hate this profession so much I just upgraded to life time so I can use this. Cheers. Hope it works.

 

Yes since without it HB will NOT support flying mounts.

It's a fun profession for the first few levels, after its a pain indeed. it's in BETa stage so don't expect too much and expect it to be buggy for now untill raphus has pushed a update forward in the upcoming days.

 

that is ridiculous............... because i only pay for a yearly subscription i can not use all features. give me a break

 

Yeah, I kind of figured it would have its flaws but I plan on baby sitting it as much as necessary. I already worked one toon to 525 on my own and working for the rare sword and staff but no luck. I am hoping this will help ease my 15 hour farm days by hand into less work and maybe a little more sleep.

 

It's not a year payment for this product is silly at first, just go for a Lifetime straight away, its worth it and will show itself in the first couple of uses anyway. then second we lifetime paid more in 1 go so has more prior. You on the other hand have to wait untill they release Flying Paid Plugin (FPP) this will come and you can purchase that in order to fly with HB. Don't be pissed cause you can't use it, be pissed because you haven't purchased lifetime yet.

 

same reason I'm farming the sword is a must for me same goes for the staff^^, when I got those my alt will get maxed archy.

 

Yes, Blizzard are testing users patience with this one.

Next patch due shortly will limit numbers of artifacts to a max of 200, so I guess the plugin will need to check if an artifact can be solved and solve it instead of just finding artifacts as it does now.

Also, just for reference: You can use the money you paid in the year subscription and put it towards the lifetime so that way you don't have to pay any more than what the life time is originally worth. 80 euros comes out to 106.78 in USD. However, if you already bought a year subscription, the 80 euros turns into 55 euros (72 dollars). That at least saves you some money if you tried it, liked it, and want the lifetime with the ability to run multiple WoW instances and experience all the benefits of being a lifetime member.

 

Sword.......droooooooooooool :0 one guy on our realm has it, runs around SW showing it off

a guy in my guild has the sword.. his main is a pally, so he has it on his 4th or 5th alt (warrior) that he never plays.
