HB ARCHIVES: ArchaeologyBuddy--DO NOT DELETE

Looking very good, running this at the moment.
Hopefully I don't have to do a thing while leveling this profession!

 

Same here. Tried black listing the site but still getting stuck.

 

GOD DAMN Twilight grove..........

 

^

Same here, got stock there for 5 hours........

 

sign! *argh*

 

Kalimdor works like a charm though ^^ But darn that grove!

 

Hi!
i tried to use old releases, try different mounts, different settings, but still got stuck at ashenvale 60,39 when bot travels from mount hyjal to ashenvale or souther kalimdor. any other tip to avoid this? =) thanks (next time it will happens i'll save the log + screenshot)

 

Here are some issues I have noticed while running this. They may be fixable or just be ignored. Some of them might be related to Flightor.

The bot likes to mount up and simply ground mount its way to the next survey. For example the bot will set down and survey. A red indicator will come up, it will mount up, then walk to the next survey instead of flying. I understand if the indicator is yellow or green but it looks really stupid to walk 150 yards on a flying mount. Sometimes it wont even mount.

If a survey point is near a wall and the artifact is behind that wall then the bot will mount and walk all the way around or up the stairs or whatever to get to the other side. It should mount, fly up and over the wall, then set down on the artifact. This is very very botty and was noticed a while back by a passer by and I simply told them I was bored. The bot needs to detect if the path to the artifact or survey point is blocked and how long it would take to get there. If the walking distance is high then mount up and fly there instead.

If a survey point is on a hill (common for mineral nodes) and the bot cant reach the next survey or artifact point on foot it will simply hump the hill or keep laying down survey points in the same spot. At this point the bot needs to detect being stuck and try to get out of it by mounting up and flying or taking an alternate path.

In outlands the bot will fly across the twisting nether. In most cases this is ok but in some areas taking these shortcuts will mean getting stuck on an invisible wall in which the bot simply runs into it stupid forever. There must be a way for the bot to follow land instead of cutting across the open air.

I have noticed that when surveying the bot will take a slightly different direction than the indicator is showing. Usually enoph to make it have to throw down one or two extra surveys as it cant figure out where the artifact is.

If the artifact is near a lake...... good luck having it fly over the lake instead of swimming through the lake.

Mostly these issues sound like they are connected to flightor. However I know some of them can be tweaked in A Buddy.

 

I turned my bot on before work, and when I got home it had solved alot but I was disconnected and when I logged on I was in Feralas at the huge tree at the Dream Bough-lake. It seems there is an invisible wall along there, so maybe it shouldnt fly as high as it does there because of it.

 

Yes, the Feralas Tree is pretty annoying and I get stuck there almost everytime

Uhm, I honestly didn't read all the 59 Pages but is there a option to turn off the mob looting?
If I get attacked by low mobs at digsites, it always loots the mobs and my bags are full of crap.

cheers

 

so when you get 'stuck', how do you move on? i can't seem to do it :x it gets stuck and that's it, can't use the bot

 

Hey, I'm getting some kind of problem, sometimes I get this problem and sometimes it just keeps flying back and forth in a small line until I stop the bot, I would appreciate if anyone could help me, thanks!

 

My bots get stuck everytime they pass the Dream Bough island at the top of feralas.

 

I had an idea about those invisible walls in the sky like in Feralas and Hinderlands. Every time i found my bot like that pressing "X" - Descend worked like a charm to make him moving again. Is there someone that can code a simple plugin to make your bot descend when stuck for a long time? It would need to detect it's stuck, descend for about 10 seconds and then move forward.

Can anyone help?

 

Getting stuck constantly makes archa bot unusable in its current state.

 

What's the state of Archa bot? Lots of bugs? I am thinking of buying honour buddy

 

Gets stuck at Twilight Grove - makes it almost impossible to use Archaeologybuddy in Eastern Kingdom... i woke up and it was stuck at twilight grove for almost 6+ hours, pretty upsetting.

 

So allot of stuck issues , same as Pirox Arch bot had?

 

/bump

 

decided to start farming my the rest of my archaeology achievements in Kalimdor, got my bug mount first day - 27 solves for the bug mount, also got the ring and pendant of scarab storm.
