Instancebuddy - A Premium Dungeon Finder Bot

Instancebuddy

Latest Version: 3.0.1.188

A Dungeon Finder Bot. It queues, joins, follows the tank, leaves when dungeon is over, get back to grinding and requeue

How does Instancebuddy work ?

If you are using Dungeon Finder system for the first time, type "/lfd" or hit "i" in WoW and set your role. When all set, set HB to Instancebuddy from Bot Selection and hit Start !

Instancebuddy supports tanking just in a few dungeons. To see which dungeons are supported, go through Bot Settings -> Farming Mode -> Dungeon Selection

Features

• Instancebuddy now rolls for the loot ! It will automatically detect if the item that dropped is an upgrade or not and do the necessary rolling. Disable any looting addon you use.
• IB will queue for specific dungeons till level 80 while filtering dungeons that HB would fail (listed in post #3). It will reset dungeons every 12 minutes.
• At level 80 IB will queue for random heroics.
• You can queue as a group. The group leader will queue while others accepting role check.
• IB supports dual spec. If you queue as healer/dps and assigned as a dps while your spec is healing, IB will detect that and change your spec. (Your CC should also support that)
• IB supports corpse runs except for Icecrown.
• IB sends a message to party chat to notify party members while resting.
• IB cancels resting if the tank gets too far away.
• IB uses a special scripting system. Dungeon scripts are located under /scripts folder. Current special tags are: LastBoss, Entrance, UseObjects, TalkToNpcs, AreaSpells, JumpPoint. Check post #2 for explanation.
• IB allows the use of Objects (like doors, levers, portals).
• IB allows talking to NPCs for teleportation and other stuff.
• IB detects when the tank jumps from a cliff or such and make your toon jump.
• IB allows avoiding area spells.
• IB auto accepts shared quests.

Installation

• Instancebuddy comes bundled with HB. There is not a seperate download link

Known Bugs

• Rolling for loot might be buggy. It will often fail to evaluate correct scores for items. If you are not happy with it, disable rolling via Bot Settings. *It is HB causing wrong evaulations*
• Most of mid-level dungeons are not scripted yet. You may contribute with Entrance points, jump points and other tags seen below.
• DO NOT USE INSTANCEBUDDY UNATTENDED

Special notes for CC devs:

• Instancebuddy has it's own targeting code. Please disable any targeting code you have while Me.IsInInstance
• Instancebuddy runs Combat() portion of your CC. So if you have a check like IsPullCompleted please disable it while Me.IsInInstance.
• Instancebuddy handles movement only while out of combat. In combat movement is left to CCs since most of them have it already. Make sure you have a check for current target's distance for spell/ability ranges.
• Instancebuddy overrides RaFLeader to actual tank in the party. So you can mess with RaFLeader for specific buffing needs like keeping Earth Shield or Lifebloom up.
