Another Character not attacking mobs with dif. CC

is there any red text spam?

 

What kind of red text spam? I'll check.

 

this kind of red text.

 

Ah gotcha.
I don't think it does, but I'll take a look.

 

if it does i need the EXACT text, with proper capitalization and punctuation, its important that its correct.

 

Well it doesnt show in the logs right(searched few logs and couldnt find it)
? I have seen this few times happen tho! I dont know the exact words, i ll pay attention to it if i c it pass. Some other way to trace it in some log?

 

if it was something that was in the log i would of gotten it my self

 

Its nice this issue is finally receiving some attention (and thanks!).

Below, you will find threads that discuss this very problem that has existed since late 4xxxx or very early 5xxx releases. Perhaps the information contained therein can help isolate the problem.

The problem is bigger than CCs--it has also been observed in the InteractWith behavior (which uses some 'facing' methods). Laria can confirm this, as she ran into the problem when writing her Goblin profile and tried to do the Librerate the Kaji'mite quest.

There should also be a report in BugTracker that may contain logs. Alas, since BugTracker is still down (going on 2+ months now, geez!), there is no way to point you to the correct report.

Thanks again for giving this a look. Its been a thorn in the side of many users in our Community. The problem is very real, sporadic, and most definitely in HBcore. My recommendation is to chase it as hard as possible as long as Zacharybinx34 can readily reproduce it.

The problem could be due to a lot of hard-to-identify things. Perhaps, it only happens to people with 4-core processors. Or mayhaps, running multiple copies of Honorbuddy out of the same directory. (I'm 99% certain this is the cause of the SQLite 'locking' errors that people occasionally report. I've also a suspicion that this is the cause of Honorbuddy's crashing the WoWclient, but the jury's still out on that cause-effect.). Perhaps, it only happens to those that play Alliance. (I jest, but only partially--as this was most definitely the problem of the Night Elves not able to fly back to their corpse while dead bug).

Alright, it's not doing the Red Text, the locations are different. It happens NUMEROUSLY in Twilight Highlands, either that or it is extremely noticeable because the mobs there are actually tough.

Position
4582.869, -5087,538, -117.8116

Current Target Info
-4,592.53, -5094.80, 117.90


Would the QUEST BEHAVIORS from Kick's profiles mess with this at all? that's the only thing different from the standard installation I have going.

 

Just noticed something else SUPER weird.

The hunter face aggrod a mob, the pet started beating on it, but the Hunter just runs right through it, shows 1 Red text saying something about "you are not facing that mob" then the red text goes away.

This is the weird part.

You know how ALL mobs you are targeting have the red circle around the mob. When this happens I noticed that it is like something is being spammed on it ONLY when the bot is on, because it keeps showing a weird 'outward to inward' red circle at the base of the mob like its pulsing or trying to do something that it can't do.

It's hard to explain.

would the phasing at Dunwald Ruins effect this? Though I have seen it in all the other zones.

This shows it.
It just repeatedly keeps doing the regular circle with the big red one shown above pulsating outwardly to inward to the circle.

I blurred out my tabard because I'm crazy paranoid.

What's interesting is though, this is just ONE of the targeting bugs I have seen.
With the other one, the toon won't even target the enemy mob/mobs beating on it.

 

Yea the bot is having an issue with one of or multiple of ether of these three things.

Targeting
Moving to
Facing

mobs once it enters combat

You can manually run up to a mob and it will use the CC's attack routine but it can't get to the mobs or turn around to face them.

So it can't move to them or face them. But once it is it uses the CC's attack routine no problem.

My bot won't attack mobs EVER, regardless of anything it wont. There is no sometimes and sometimes not. It never does on any toon with any CC.

Edit: I also wanted to just say, I mean this in no spiting manner. But because of this issue I've gone and bought Pirox. I prefer HB and have used it since day one and even developed for it. But this has been an issue for me for the last 2 months and it makes botting with honor buddy impossible.

IF you guys can fix this issue I'll be back to honor buddy but until then, no thanks.

 

apoc is working on it, unfortunately its a hard problem to reproduce.

and Zacharybinx34 theres a button called "Edit Post" please use it, instead of double and triple posting.

 

Any progress on fixing this bug?

edit:

This might be premature, but I think I figured it out.
Kick's Quest's Behaviors. Removed those, haven't seen the problem since. But why would that affect the archaeology bot?
But I did install the new beta, so it could be either of the two.

I'll let it run some more to verify it is indeed fixed. Hopefully it is!

edit 2:
just noticed it is now spamming "you can't attack that target on killed mob" sometimes when another mob is alive and beating on the bot. It just continues to spam attack the dead target giving only that message.

 

This is a CC issue. Singular is a fine example of a CC that suffers from this. More info here...

When will this be fixed?

 

Its my understanding that Singular v1 is maintained by HBdev, but not really. I believe what HB ships is just an early snapshot of Singular v2, but could easily be wrong about that.

Probably best to ask "when will it be fixed" on the Singular v2 thread. Alas, no one is really in charge of that effort, unless its Apoc. <shrugs>

So you are confirming that you were using the Singular CC? If not, you'll need to post on the appropriate CC thread.

I'm just a Community member like you, and am not privy to inside information.

It's been a few days and I've modified FPSware's Hunter CC as per what Gilderoy sent me... I have since run AB 10 hours+ and have only seen minimal problems which I don't think were related to this. (a CTM that was a bit away had my toon ignoring that he was being attacked - finally dismounted and turned to fight - maybe happened twice). When my pet has been attacked, my hunter now attacks it's attacker.

The only issue that I still have with AB is that it's killed me 5+ times in the last 2 days while AFK by making a poor choice for vender or repair in the Outlands. My toon has rep with Aldor so agro's Sryers... but twice he's headed into a Scryer area to try to vendor or repair with predictable results. It was very fortunate for me that I had installed a plugin from this thread: http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorbuddy-forum/plugins/free/33466-[plugin]-what-killed-me.html (it's not the titled plugin, but a deviation - which auto-logs you if you've died 5 times in 10 minutes. (see post #8 in the thread). I've modified it to 5 deaths in 15 minutes (90000 maxtimer vs 60000).

Thanks all... I can't post what Gilderoy sent me of course since it is for FPSware's CC. But Gilderoy now knows that it appears to have accomplished what he wanted me to test and can send that verification to FPSware.
