[SIZE=+1]Cannot reproduce[/SIZE]

Bugs marked as "cannot reproduce" are usually due to problems with your particular Honorbuddy installation. For instance, third-party products that are not working correctly—you should disable Buddy Store streaming for all products. Another cause is interference from external programs or addons. Your best way to recovering from this always starts with a clean install.
If you continue to experience problems after conducting a 'clean install', and disabling the streaming of all products from the Buddy Store, you should seek help in the Support forum with your log that captures the issue.​

• HB-1010: DevTools supply Nav="Fly" as part of auto-generated output?
  
• HB-1148: Honorbuddy caching completion status of repeatable quests
  
  "The 'Now That We're Friends...' quest is no-longer marked as completed after quest is turned in. This allows the quest to be done multiple times.
  This quest is handled specially—the icon for the quest is a normal yellow exclamation mark, and we couldn't find anything that indicates this quest can be repeated. We believe this information is server-side only, so the problem cannot be addressed in a generic fashion. "​

Problem should be resolved in the Support forum

Frequently, your problem can be resolved with a 'clean install', and turning off the use of all third-party products—including all products from the Buddy Store. There is a strong chance the repair for your issue resides in the HelpDesk. However, if you are unable to resolve the problem using these resources, then by all means make a new post in the Support forum. And please, don't forget to attach your full, unedited log that captures the issue
​

Problem should be resolved by contacting the developer of the third-party product

Using third-party products that have not been updated

Once again, we draw your attention to the bright red letters in the first post that are easy to overlook​

Missing critical information (logs, screenshots, etc.)

Your post may also be archived "without comment" for this reason. The posts listed here made an effort to report the problem, but the information provided was insufficient to create a bug report (e.g., wrong log, partial log, screenshot needed, etc)​

Didn't check the "Known Issues" list

Hi, MaxMuster,

We don't see a problem, as it is trivial to drag through the words 'Nav="Fly"' and hit the delete key. Alternatively, you can double-click on the word "Fly" and type "Run". Recall that even if Nav="Fly" is specified, Flightor is smart enough to fall back to mesh-based navigation for non-flyable areas. We anticipate Draenor eventually being a continent capable of flight. In our opinion, it is smartest to leave the attribute alone for now. Where ground-based travel is absolutely required (in the future), explicitly convert them to "Run".

"Configurables" for DevTools is not something we will consider. DevTools is a basic diagnostic tool, that can also assist in profile writing. If you want these kinds of features, you should look to a dedicated plugin to assist you with profile-writing. Indeed, there have been a few available in the forums over the years, and some working ones may still be around.

On HB-1010, we have requested that the Nav="Fly" be removed from the <Hotspot> generation.

Also, for future reference in general, ideas are received more warmly if you don't start by insulting the people you are asking for help. Although such disrespect has no bearing on our decisions here, it might cause you problems in other situations.

cheers,

Hi, Tomten2,

Fair question. Let's start by disposing of "Beta" immediately... Beta releases are not supported. At all. period. If you run into problems with a Beta release, you are on your own. Any problems reported to the Support forum (or any of the other support threads) against a Beta, will be closed immediately.

Unlike "Beta"s, "Test Releases" are supported. The "Test" moniker is just a way to let the Community know there may be some rough edges we are still working through. Although, one may argue with the size of our open issues list, there is very little difference between a "Test Release" and "Release", and that would probably be true.

You should know that it is always 'safe' (as well as botting can be safe) to use a Buddy bot, if we release it in any form—Beta, Test Release, or Release.

But, it is NOT safe to user older versions of Buddy bots. There are reasons we update bots between patch days. Some of those reasons include stronger mechanisms to keep your game accounts safe. Recall that 'the Warden' can be updated on-the-fly, and doesn't need a patch day to be updated.

Hi, Tumbum, and thanks for the log and report.

We caught up with TheBrodieMan to obtain the profile snippet for this. After inspecting it, we opened HB-2158("InteractWith: Pursuing non-defined targets and throwing exceptions") against the issue.

cheers,

Hi, DMan, and thanks for the log.

This a problem with either your BotBase or Combat Routine, and not with Honorbuddy itself. Please report the problem to the corresponding authors.

Hi, Pushing,

Thanks for the report, and the links to those two other posts that contain all the details! We've opened HB-2159("Incongruent results between CanCast() and the GCD") against this issue.
