[Release] ArchaeologyBuddy and Gatherbuddy2 Bug Fixes

I got stuck in strat's backdoor with arch buddy. Idk how, but I looked like an idiot to a passerby.

 

What wrong with Arch buddy, its been in the same area for like an hour now...

 

Heh, let me guess...Jintha'Alor?

 

I have to ask? Are everyone?s problems being acknowledged? Or looked into? I have been monitoring the forums for the last week or two and not one reply from a dev about them? Is AB still being tweaked or worked on or are they done? It doesn?t take too long to write a reply every now and then saying ?thanks for the tip, we are working on it? does it? Being left to hang after spending a lot of money on lifetime subscription makes me a bit nervous? is the new Rift bot taking up everyones time or is it an addition to HB? Or is there a different team for that?

I would of assumed that with these new problems with this release that someone would jump on a solution a lot quicker than this? I just would like to know the status/situation? Being left in the dark isn?t really cool.

 

Yeah you would think with the fat lifetime fee we paid we would receive better customer service. But then again, botting IS a shady business...and I guess you can't expect much from those who run a business based on shadiness =/

 

So in the next release can we FINALLY expect to see the STV trees not kill it?

 

Stuck all night Flying in Circles, Logs attached

logs attached was stuck all night flying in a circles in plaguelands, trying to get to the next digsite

 

its a invsible wall..

 

Yeah I figured. Hopefully it can be fixed

 

please blacklist Ironbands Excavation digsites its verry annoying with those 85 guards respawning afther killing

 

you can do this yourself

 

no it isnt working at al i black list it general in the new one i go to the ab text document blacklisted its blacklisted but it stil does that digsite

 

hey archeology doesend do need or greed on items could u fix that?

 

Is there some way to stop the bot from collecting blacklisted fragments?

I understand that the bot has to go dig blacklisted spots sometimes when there aren't any valid dig sites and that's fine, but it would be handy if you could set it to go dig up the fragments but not collect them so it just clears the site to open up new spots.

Basically I'm trying to get to 450 without doing any troll to try and maximise a zin'rokh drop, but currently the bot gets stuck at troll sites because im already carrying 200 troll fragments and it just repeatedly tries to collect more which it can't. So if it could just dig up the artifacts but not collect them it would be a lot easier for people to min-max their gathering strategies for the harder to get epics.

 

I understand that, I even said so in the second line of my post

I don't want to have auto-solve turned on because I don't want it to solve any Troll artifacts at all. Currently I'm keeping an eye on it and solving other races by hand to continue the levelling.

What I mean is that the bot should be able to dig the blacklisted sites without actually picking up the fragments, so the fragment cap doesn't stop it from carrying on to the next digsite etc. etc. until it can go back to sites that aren't blacklisted. Currently I have to stop it when it's forced to dig a troll site, then dig the blacklisted sites myself ignoring the fragments until something else pops up and I can turn the bot back on.

Hopefully that's clearer.

EDIT:

Infact that might be a cool feature to have, if you could have say 2 different types of blacklisting which would be A) sites you don't want to go to because of dangerous mobs and B) sites you don't mind going to but don't want the fragments from.

For A) you could have it configured to always avoid unless it has no choice like it does now, and for B) it could be set to just go and clear them out without picking up the fragments (it should try to collect them once just so it gets the XP, but after the first failed attempt to collect the bot should ignore this fragment and move to the next) just to speed up the opening of unblacklisted sites. Would probably work out a lot faster than the current system that often ends up with you crossing the continent to avoid blacklistings.

 

Been running the new version 24/7 since release and I have no issues to report. It appears some shit has actually been fixed. Thanks, Raphus.

 

think you could update these for the latest hb? seems there are still issues with the new ab/gb2 in the test versions, already reported them but a temp fix for new releases would be nice untill its incorporated in the main

 

I'm not sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you might think I'm responsible for fixing this shit. I am not. I wish I knew how to fix any of this shit as it would probably take a load off of Raphus's hands. Since I'm privileged enough to run AB consistently, I feel obligated to the developers (and the money I paid) to report any issues I come across...using the BugTracker, of course.

 

Carrying 200 Troll artifacts to 450 would probably decrease your chances of a Zin'rokh drop. The average artifact is about 35 fragments which would give you aprox. 12 solves once you hit 450. Once you've used up your fragments and have no Zin'rokh, you'll be kicking yourself for all the fragments you passed up and artifacts that were never solved. The only thing I can't confirm is whether or not the chances of acquiring a particular artifact in your book increases once you've solved a certain amount of artifacts (the first time around). I doubt this since it's possible to have the same artifact you have just solved to appear in your book. But I can only confirm this AFTER the initial solves of your grey artifacts.
