[PB] Toney's (very basic) TSM-Based AH Bot Profile

You need to use the version linked in the original post, not the latest version.

I suggest you read the first post thoroughly.

Only works on one character now...

 

Well, this has been a very helpful bug report. Thanks for the details...

Now sarcasm aside, if it works on one toon but not on the other, chances are you're doing sonething wrong.

I suggest you start over from scratch on the toon that it doesn't work with.

This addon + profile combo has been more than thoroughly tested (I've been running it ~8 hours a day for months).
If you can't get it to work, you're doing something wrong and should go back to the beginning.

All the necessary information is right there.

well whats wrong when it works for an hour then just stops?

 

You.

Am I supposed to guess what's your problem? You're not giving me ANY information as to what's going on at the time of the error or what it may be causing it.

Are you assuming I have a crystal ball?

I can tell you this (it may or may not be your problem):

Since the latest patch I have encountered what seems to be a bug in TSM (have in mind the latest version is not supported and the old one will be working increasingly worse as it becomes more and more outdated, until eventually, probably when 5.0 goes live, it'll break completely):

When cancelling, SOMETIMES, the cancel auction button seems to become "unclickable" (normally happens with the last couple auctions left to cancel), and the bot will just get stuck there trying to click it.
It's very random, but it seems the more items it has to cancel, the higher the chances of triggering this bug.

In any case, manually clicking ONCE on the "skip item" button will unstuck the bot, and it will continue working normally.

I encounter this problem no more than once a day, and since 99% of the time I have this running I'm home, I haven't looked into trying to find a workaround (that and because I have other priorities).

If this is your problem, well, you're gonna have to either unstuck it yourself, or just not use it.

If this is NOT your problem, then give me something to try and diagnose it with. Tell me exactly what happens before, during and after it stops working.

 

It post auctions if I have any then it never cancel auctions or retrieve mail, just stand with AH up. Thats what happened to the 2nd account, now it's with both.

 

You do know it only cancels auctions once every 15-30 minutes (random), right?

 

Yea, and it was up much longer than that...

 

That said, this is an extremely simple profile, and it works for me. If it doesn't work for you, then chances are you're doing something wrong.
Help me help you. I've told you before, I need to know EXACTLY what it's doing.

Does it keep posting over and over? Does it post once and does nothing? Does it even start scanning for undercut auctions and just never "presses the button"?

 

Bot says:
PB 1.404: MoveTo Action completed for type NearestAH
PB 1.404: InteractAction complete
Posting Cycle Ended
Starting the next Posting Cycle in x seconds
Over and over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over...
Or only:
PB 1.404: MoveTo Action completed for type NearestAH
PB 1.404: InteractAction complete
And nothing more.

Just to make sure.. Is it supposed to say like "x seconds till cancel auctions" all the time? Cuz when it seems stuck it doesn't say that and when it seems fine it says that in the bot.

So basically the two options you said

 

That's never happened to me, nor there's any reason in the extremely simple code I'm using for it to happen.

Try a fresh install of everything (HB + PB), and follow the steps in the OP.

Let me know how it goes. Also, if it doesn't work, don't copy/past a log. Tell me EXACTLY what's happening before your eyes, with as much detail as possible.

EDIT: Needless to say, use the latest revision of PB.

 

If you tell me how to get it without deleting every non-default profile and settings xD

 

HB > Bots > Professionbuddy > Profiles

Make a copy of whatever is in there.
Settings are stored in the HB > Settings folder. You don't need to mess with that.

 

Tried that once, and it didnt store my settings for some reason. Can you confirm it works to copy -> paste a profile and the settings remain the same?

 

Yes.

To be more specific, the settings are stored @:
HB > Settings > ProfessionBuddy

 

And I lost like 10k yesterday because it put out auctions with the fallback price for some odd reason...

 

I'm sorry, but that's 100% user error (as were all of your problems for that matter). The profile only tells the bot when to post and when to cancel.
What to post, how many, and for how much, is entirely handled by the addon, and you're responsible for it's proper configuration, as stated in the first post.

 

And is there any way to get the speed of the auctions posting faster ?

 

Yeah, open the profile with notepad ++ (basic notepad would suffice too) and do a search for:

Code:

<WaitAction Condition="false" Timeout="200" />

That's the wait time (in milliseconds) for the post/cancel "clicks". You can either change it to whatever you want or delete it altogether.
I chose that number because it's about what it takes a typical human (lag included) to click on it.

There's two instances of this: First one is for posting, second one for cancelling.

 

Hey there! Awesome initiative, wus like "omfg I had a dream about this being at these forums". I have a problem though!

The bot starts fine, the timers are fine and I downloaded the modified addon etc. But it scans for auctions (I had to change fallback, because it doesn't have the same options as the other addon) and then it just stands there and spam the macro that was bound to "F1". I already have posts up, and it seems that if I do it can't see it? Also would it be a major remake for the new addon? I mean, the buttons are the same just located in different areas (never programmed so prolly stupid statement). Thx!
