ArchaeologyBuddy - An Archaeology Bot

You're on the agro list of something near you. Either run away or kill everything around you.

 

Finally I can blacklist all the Twilight Highlands ones that kept killing me

Very nice job on this

 

Yeah, only problem is that I ended up with all four of them just a few minutes ago. I had to go in and manually clear them out as it was trying to clear "the closest" one per the ruleset (which I'm okay with).

Does anyone know if the survey sites ever change over time if you don't do anything? On server reboot? Because those TH sites are just killer... Literally.

 

If you have the flying mode enabled I guess this happens alot less?

 

ok.. i go problems with pyro digsite..
it kept on trying to go underground..
i think it is the same with all digsites with somekind of underground cave...
maybe when you look for a node point.. instead of using Findheight(x,y).min() or .max() you should try iterating through the points and find the closest one? or atleast in a similar z plane?
just my 2 cents for this awesome bot

 

Got the same issue mate, woke up this morning and it was hovering over a digsite in blackrock mountains.

 

Been using this over the night today, got from 0-390 in about 9 hours. Thanks for this so I dont need to spend 12+ Hours skilling up Arch on my 2'nd char!

 

My toon will do nothing but hover outside of the digsite if current map contains more than one digsites.

 

First of all, this version already works very well

But i have a problem at 2 digsites, like some people mentioned before:

-Tomb of the watchers digsite
-Pyroxs flats digsite

Bot will land but stays in Flight form (druid) if i manually go into normal form he will do his job.

It would be nice to have a "safety timer" in the bot (if char doesn move > 100 Yards in the last 5 minutes stop HB and close WoW for example) this would make it completely afkable

 

In Winterspring my mount did not try to fly after doing the Frostwhisper Gorge digsite. It went to Timbermaw Hold and right in the middle of the tunnel it tried to fly into the roof and started using unstuck techniques.

 

<Hotspot X="-7934.348" Y="-632.9656" Z="-255.3938" /> at Terror run fossil field gets stuck because the fossil is at the very edge of the digsite and keeps stepping out. It just keeps repeating the loop with reseting then following the same discovery path.

 

Been running this a lot and it is very stable guys. Thumbs up to you Raphus for sharing this - I just hitted the 525 skill-cap thanks to this lovely bot. GJ!

 

I also have a problem with Pyrox Digsite, I had to blacklist it because it kept going into the cave underneath instead of surveying on top.

I did not have a very successful night, it spent most of the night sitting at a dig site doing nothing with no error message =/

 

Have a hovering issue at Pyrox Flats Digsite

<Hotspot X="-6883.483" Y="-1300.578" Z="242.2416" />

this is the only spot I've had problems with it hovering one foot above the ground and doesn't land until I manually do it

 

random stopping?

I've been watching my AB for about 2 hours now and it seems that every time it gets with in ~50 yards of the targeted dig site it will just stop and idol endlessly.


The status will say either combat or resting.

The combat issue was touched on by another user(thanks) just to kill stuff around me, but the resting status I can't find a reason for it. The only way I can fix it is to walk into the dig site which causes the bot to work normally. It srsly does this every dig site.

Anyone have an ideas?

 

a few us are Geting this.. my bot wont even land a Dig Site.. by its Self.. i babysat it for 8 hours last nite. 1 out 7 dig sites it would land on Just stops bout 50 Yards from the Dig site... ,all we can do is hope some one will Slove this?
which class are you Runing?

trying it on a new char now. 3 dig site worked Perfect... (had to happen )

 

i have seen it posted about being just above a digsite like it mounted and hit space for a operation to get off the ground so it dc after because it cant survey or anything so you go afk and dc.. and water is still a huge problem for me for troll area's .. I Want my Staff lol.. it goes in the middle of lakes or ponds and about dies..

just for more info

night elf , Warlock, level 85, skill in arc 525, guild speed upgrade level 1, main mount armored blue wind rider, item level 334, max self buffed hp 114k, average dps 3,000-6,000 on mobs..

 

Currently running a hunter. I haven't been able to leave the bot be in between dig sites at all. I have to baby it in everytime.

 

Staff is not from Troll sites

 

annoying isn't it had it at a few digsites, saving there names and blacklisting helps for the time being but do report the hotspot and digsite name so raphus knows.
