ShamWOW for HB2 - An Enhance/Elemental/Resto + PVP/RaF Healbot by Bobby53

Aha okey thanks m8 will try this out!

 

HonorBuddy Mode: LazyRaider

Shamans Location: Firelands

What should have happened (be specific): Cast Mana Shield or Earth Shield

What did happen (be specific): Cast Mana Shield AND Earth Shield over and over.

System time of issue (log time stamp): [6:00:26 PM:055]

At that System log, just go up and it happens over and over. Happened several times, I tried loading and reloading HB, but still does it.

 

Thanks for the answer, well I have to say that I am new to HB and don't know exactly what you mean with set CC to auto, can you may take a minute and explain to me, what you mean?

May I've also described my problem not correctly. He is using dmg spells and he is also healing, but I ran fast oom then.

Thanks.

 

drewdenman, Thanks for the detailed post and complete debug log file. The issue is due to the LazyRaider bot selecting your Shaman as the Tank. I'll make a fix in the LazyRaider bot for this. In the interim if you see this occur, go into the LazyRaider Bot Settings and select a different player. Thanks and good luck with your Shaman, Bobby53

 

Thanks for the response. I had restarted my HB and WoW and its working properly now. If it happens again, I know what to do now, thanks

 

*NEW* ShamWOW 4.3.15 available for download!

A quick resolution of a few items. Download the new version from the first post in this thread.

Reminder that I am on vacation until July 8 so may not be able to access boards to respond until then.

Changes History for this Release

Code:

[B]06/29/11 Revision  4.3.15[/B]
- change:  water walking and water breathing buff no longer done for PVP groups > 15 members 

- new:  option to enable/disable buffing water walking and water breathing during Preparation buff in Battlegrounds or Arena Preparation buff in Arenas. 

- new:  initial support Glyph of Unleashed Lightning.  On Fast Pull Shaman will use Lightning Bolt while moving in.

- fixed:  problem for Restos that caused to DPS with Lava Burst and Chain Lightning when they should not.  HonorBuddy API WoWPartyMember.GroupRole property was returning an invalid value causing ShamWOW when in running as Resto with RAF Combat Style: Auto to choose Healing Over Combat when it should have chosen Healing Only.  Errant value is now checked for and worked around to ShamWOW functions as intended.

- change:  PVP and RAF 'Need Drink at Mana %' settings removed to eliminate confusion since they were placeholders for future work.  PVP and RAF specific values will be added back in future release.

 

Kalaran was resuming ins patrol path after trying to enter combat for so long.

The bot should have retarget to nearest enemy instead of trying to catch up Kalaran.

There should be a asif statement to take into account of enemy not doing any damage and ignore them in order to focus on more immediate threat.

 

So here's an oddity, and I don't know if it's with ShamWOW, LazyRaider, or HB.

Healing in Bastion of Twilight and everything is fine with one exception. If Cho'Gall is my target, the bot stops healing. If I target one of his adds (while they're alive) it works fine, but if he's my target it just stops.

I noticed this on a previous attempt some time ago, but I was DPSing as Elemental at the time. Add targeted = fine, Cho'Gall targeted = nothing. (I don't have a log for this one, only tonight's)

I have a log for this most recent fight, it should all be at the bottom of the log (it's actually for most of BoT which worked perfectly fine, it only acts up during that fight).

I wasn't seeing any errors, but nothing was happening at all.

Had to zip it, it's a 4mb log.

 

Sorry HB4717A34, but I'm not following the description as to why Kalaran released.

 

There was actually a lot happening during that time. You were hitting a sequence of exceptions within targeting in HonorBuddy. This prevented control making it to ShamWOW, so no heals were cast. However, I'm not sure if the source of those was HB or LazyRaider. I'll need to look into this more, but I'm unclear why it would be specific to that encounter.

 

Kalaran was chasing the character for too long perhaps? After a certain distance, the NPC releases by itself. The problem was that the CC was still trying to target and chase after Kalaran even though:

i) Kalaran has "evaded" and resume its patrol path.
ii) There was melee hitting and dazing the character.

 

Thanks, that helps. Will have to give this one some thought as there is a little more going on than it appears. HB seems to have added AvoidMob support recently (it has always semantically supported AvoidMob in profiles, but the most it ever did was avoid pulling/targeting them - it didn't try to keep a safe distance away so the CC had to be able to defend itself regardless.) I cant be certain without seeing it, but it appears there was a conflict between the CC fighting back when attacked and the AvoidMob support trying to intermittently keep distance. I say intermittently because HB didn't invoke it constantly, conceivably because it was also engaged in combat with 2 other mobs. Anyway, I appreciate the complete debug log file and multiple posts on this. Will see what I can do for this one. Thanks, Bobby53

 

If its possible, I would do the following check to see if the CC need to retarget.

Retargetting would occured when:

i) Target gives "Out of range" error more than once while taking damage from other target. Target would be Ignored for duration of the fight or until taking damage from Target. Unless, Target HP is less than %... Just in case we have runner in PVP?

 

getting the totem call/recall spam in pvp. I have pvp options to NONE for all totems

 

this good

it amazing .

 

not working for the cho'gall fight. not sure if its lazyraider or the CC or HB. Just stands there and will not heal.

check the end of the log.

 

I had the exact problem except on the Nefarian fight in BWD. Bot doesnt do anything just stands there. The rest of the instance worked fine except the one fight. I’m Just wondering if anyone else has a similar issue on Nef.

 

Trolkin, Thanks for the post, but need a log file with any post describing observed behavior. Thanks and good luck, Bobby53

 

I have the same issue as him, can you check my log posted a few up? I did some digging and it seems this happens to all end boss fights. chogall, nef, ect

 

zomgmage, I don't always reply in the order posts are received since some posts are quicker to respond to ( asking for a log file always takes less time than troubleshooting with one) but I read them all. Don't feel because I haven't replied to yours yet but did to one after it that yours was missed. Bobby53
