Grindbot not attacking Neutral (yellow bar) mob. ( Great Turtle ) at timeless isle.

Hi,
First of all, I am sorry if this has been discussed before. I searched , even found similar problems, but with no solution. Even did a fresh install of HB but nothing changed.
As the topic suggests, I am running around the shore of timeless isle around the Horde flight point trying to kill the Great Turtles for the purpose of skinning.
BotBase is GrindBot, running Singular.
I read on some other post about Bot not targeting neutral (yellow bar) mobs. If that is the case, if there any fix for that ?

Attaching log, profile used and also a short video.

[video=youtube_share;jgEcKDNzE9g]http://youtu.be/jgEcKDNzE9g[/video]
The video clearly shows the bot running around the intended target but not attacking it. It does ninja skin though.

I am very new to HB, still I feel its really weird that the bot uses "faction id" to target mobs and not like their "entry id" (which is also wowhead id ?).
Thank you

 

- Missing <GrindArea> tag.
- <Factions> need to be below: <GrindArea> to be read correctly.
- <AvoidMobs> should be placed above: <GrindArea> else it might be ignored.
- <Blackspots> Should also be placed above: <GrindArea> else it might be ignored.

Use this, copy paste (should work):

Tip: Old/non-updated profile issues can be google'd like: "<AvoidMobs> honorbuddy" to get top results leading to "Buddy Wiki".
Honorbuddy & Gatherbuddy Wiki - Buddy Wiki
Where you can read to understand why for example the faction tag wont work as intended
- Enjoy

 

Thanks, trying it now.
Edit : Sorry, it still does not work. Going through wiki.

 

Please post a new log file, else there is no way to know if it's a profile issue or an issue with the bot.

Ps: in this profile I've used before, they use:
http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...meless-isle-coins-rep-epoch-greens-epoch.html


<MinLevel>1</MinLevel>
<MaxLevel>999</MaxLevel>
<Factions>2136 16</Factions>

you could try and see if that helps, else I'm really not sure more then maybe you're could try a fresh install of the bot if that's not what you're already running.

 

Hi, Fuzzytonic, and thanks for all the wonderful info you've provided to describe the problem!

The problem is in your profile—the faction IDs are incorrect. You probably populated them from DevTools, and got caught by HB-524 ("Developer tools truncating MobId and FactionId"). This problem is repaired in the next release after .729—so you do not have the fix yet.

To verify this is your problem,

• target one of the yellow named mobs that the profile won't attack
• In the DevTools Console window, type and run:
  
  Log(Me.CurrentTarget.FactionId);​

You will see that the last digit is probably missing from one or more of your faction IDs in your profile.


Props go to MaiN for noticing your problem and analyzing the issue.

cheers,

Thanks I wanted to be as clear as possible as I had a hunch that the problem is not in the profile at all and it must be a core thing.
Running your given command gave an output of "2136" which is exactly as you said, one digit extra than what I was getting the faction id from DevTools which gave me "213" as the id.
Thanks for the help and info
Issue resolved !

 

awesome, if you need anything else let us know.
