Quest Blacklist Guide

Hi i thought id add a short guide here, just in case it wasn't clear in the other posts (which i felt it wasnt).


Because some quests obviously have to be blacklisted, i am going to show you how to install these blacklisted quests.

1. Go to http://blacklist.honorbuddy.net/



2. Click on the blacklist tab at the top. Press CTRL+A then CTRL+C

3. Open your HB2 installation folder. Find your PROFILE you want to use.

4. Right click on it and click EDIT or Open with notepad.



5. After the first line "<HBProfile>" add in your Blacklist (Ctrl+V)

6. Now you should have:




7. Click SAVE then reload ur HB.



Be sure to update regularly.

 

thanks for this I just tried it in the profile good to know ^^

 

wasnt it in profile.xml ?

 

So this isn't working no more with the Beta 2 right? As they changed the blacklisting option?

 

It works... but it goes into the profile.xml not in quest.xml

 

Thought the changed the standard to the questgivers name instead in the new version?

 

Right.. I did this and the bot just sits there trying to accept the egg-o-matic quest. Yes, I put it all in the right spot. (Using 1.9 btw)

 

aha, kk and where i put the stuff in ?

 

Where in the profile.xml does it go? Should it be right below <MailPurple> or somewhere else?

 

I will upade this thread when an admin tells me the answer. I dont know which line to add it in.

 

Then let me suggest to move this to that questsettings.xml file.
Makes it easier to generally ban quests instead of adapting each profile you use?

 

I think that generally between the profile tags is fine (as it's in its own tags).
As long as you don't put it between other tags it should be ok.
Best bet (to avoid mistakes) is at the start of the profile (as crack00r suggested below my post) or at the end of the profile so just above the </HBProfile> tag at the bottom.

Example

Code:

//This will work fine
<ForceMail>
Mail item 1,2,3 and 4
</ForceMail>
<QuestBlackList>
Blacklisted Quests 1,2,3 and 4
</QuestBlackList>
<Hotspots>
Hotspot 1,2,3 and 4
</Hotspots>

is fine but

Code:

//This will fail
<ForceMail>
Mail item 1,2,3 and 4
<QuestBlackList> //Notice this is in the ForceMail brackets now
Blacklisted Quests 1,2,3 and 4
</QuestBlackList>
</ForceMail>
<Hotspots>
Hotspot 1,2,3 and 4
</Hotspots>

will not be doing that great.

 

You can put it inthe 2nd line in profile.xml right under

<HBProfile>
<QuestBlacklist>
<Quest ID="NUMBER" Name="NAME" />
</QuestBlacklist>

for me this works perfect

 

Ok so i have this:

<HBProfile>
<QuestBlacklist>
<Quest ID="10538" Name="Boiling Blood" />
<LONG LIST OF QUESTS LIKE THIS BELOW>
</QuestBlacklist>


and it has still picked up one of the quests that is in the blacklist.. hmmm

 

it will PICKUP it allways... it just dont do them... you cant block it, just ignore it in the questlog

 

So there is NO way of getting around the egg-o-matic quest?

 

Sweet, this things rocks.

You can add
<BlacklistedQuestgivers>
<QuestGiver ID="9529" Name="Maybess Riverbreeze" />
</BlacklistedQuestgivers>

now

 

Tryed that for the Clothmasters to avoid it, it gave errors. I believe i put it in the wrong place. But i tryed diferent places.
