LAZYBOT support thread, Q&A, requests and updates

[jumperu]

Status: WORKING with 5.2 (auto-update)
- only 32bit wow client (HOW TO)
- .NET FRAMEWORK 4.5 REQUIRED for the bot to function proper (HOW TO)
- don't use mouse hook


The link and the bot are on a russian site, Lazy Evolution 5.1.0 16309 - ????? (direct download link: here OR here OR here) (already installed folder here)
Developer: RageHunter , +REP , and a big thank you from all of us for keeping the bot alive.
Seems that this will be the version we will use.
Auto-update feature is added now, so after you download the version above, bot will update itself to the latest version, alot of changes and improvements

It's very easy to complete the new registration thinghy. Choose an username/password and an e-mail (does not need to be real), press RUN and it should give u a code, u don't have to remember it, then press CLOSE. After you press close, the window with the character selection should appear.

If you copy or install the bot to another computer (or run more than 1 copy of the bot) , then just go to the authorization tab and log with the same USERNAME and PASSWORD that u used when u first registered.

A note about the "registration process"
When creating the username you desire, do not use mike.k, or james.k, or jack.r or anything w/ a period in it. I used just a simple login name and it worked, the others did not.

If u cannot create a new account, u don't get a serial, it says username already in use...etc...go to authorization tab and use a serial from HERE

Hello everyone, Jumperu here.

I've been using LB for around 3 years now, so I created this thread to share my knowledge, help the community of lazybot, post updates for the bot and answer any question that u may have.

Second, before you start the bot or do anything please read the MANUAL, it explains the basics of the bot, main functions, how to do a profile and setup the bot. Or, if you are lazy , you can watch the video i made wich explains every setting the bot has.

GUIDES:
Info about the bot:

How to make a Grinding Profile:

1. Profile settings - New profile
2. go to subprofile and hit add ... name does not matter, don't modify anything in the level ranges
3. still at the subprofile tab, go ingame and target a mob in the area you wanna make the profile, then got to the bot and hit the + next to factions, do that for any class of mobs in the area (humans, beasts, etc) , if you wanna ignore a mob in the area target it and hit + next to ignore (usually use it for yellow mobs that don't attack you and don't have good drops)
4. hit + next to Spots
5. tick follow spots in order, then go back to general tab
6. if the area is large and the mobs are far away from eachother, you want select vertice type "ground mount" and record the profile with ground mount, this way the char will walk abit after a kill and if there is no mob near he will mount and go on until he encounters the next mob then dismount, kill, rinse and repeat :) - ground mount vertices will appear as white dots on the graph window of the bot (if area is small choose normal vertices-red dots)
7. tick "top most" and "record vertices"
8. drag the profile maker to the side and maximize the game so you can see both where you are going and the graph of the profile - the path you are creating
9. start walking ingame, when you get within 40yards of something you want to kill, hit "add spot" or F7 ingame
10. walk to the next mob - pack of mobs and hit "add spot" or F7 again and so on
11. spots usually are on the path, but you can add some that are slightly off with no problem, bot will go there ---- a spot tells the bot where to go to find fresh mobs to kill- that's why we tick "follow spots in order" so the mobs can respawn and the bot won't return too soon to a recently visited spot, so u can have spots that are not on the path but be carefull where you put them so there are no obstacles between the spot and the path so your char don't get stuck on the return to path
12. the path you are making can be a straight line, curved line, circle or any shape you want (if it's a line, the bot will go back the same way he came at the end)

13. if you want to record a path for the bot from the GY to the grinding zone, if you want to ress you can... just untick "record vertices" go and die, now you are at the graveyard... choose vertice type "ground mount" (normal verices don't work for gy path, idk why), and hit record again, an go to the zone you recorded your profile - do not add any spots on this path -, untick record vertices - make sure that this line is linked with the normal path (also know that if you don't add this road the bot won't release, there is no setting to tell it to release, just make this path and that's it)

14. if you have a town nearby the grinding zone you can record a path to the town so when the bot has full bags and in general setting the "to town when fulll bags" is ticked he will go there are sell/repair. Be on your recorded path, choose "ground mount" vertices" and hit record again, go to town, be carefull to avoid obstacles, i suggest before you hit record to reduce the vertice distance to 10 or 5, so if you make a sudden curve the bot will follow exactly. when you get to town, go to the vendor you wanna use and in subprofile tab, hit + next to "vendor count", untick record vertices (i suggest not use "sell grey/whites" from the general settings-vendor, instead i use 2 addons: Scrap-autosells greys and if u drag an item, any item, to it's sell list, it will auto sell it next time you go to a vendor, and Auto-repair is the 2nd addon)

15. save your profile naming something like "dustwallow marsh - blackhoof village - humanoids grind lvl 40 - silk farm" for example

*make sure you set the correct key for the ground mount in general settings-keys

I made this guide fast, so tell me if you don't understand something or if there is something to add, everyone is more than welcome to contribute.

Third i will post some common errors of the bot and what to do.

Message: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.Inner exception: 
Source: mscorlib
Stack trace: at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError()

• Make sure you have installed the latest version of .net framework ( should work on win 7 but if it doesn't .net 4.5 would do, for xp get atleast v 2.5 )
• I don't think the bot works on win 8, saw some1 post this error once.
• Don't start wow in x64, bot will only attach if wow is started in 32bit mode... HOW TO
• Make sure you start the bot as administrator.
• Delete from the logs folder, LogFile.txt and OldLogFile.txt ( ty romb0t )

Message: Inner exception: 
Source: Lazy Evolution
Stack trace: at LazyEvo.LFlyingEngine.Settings.SaveSettingsClick(Object sender, EventArgs e) location D:\bot\source\LazyBot evolution\Lazy Evolution\LFlyingEngine\Settings.cs:line 79

• If u get an error like this one, it means you are missing a .dll file, wich u can download here QuickGraph.dll (if you don't have it already in your LB folder)
• If it's not that, check if you have set in engine settings/mount key - the key for the mount, must be same as in wow bar 1-6 key 1-0

Message: Unable to connect to the remote server
Inner exception: Source: SystemStack trace:    
at System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetResponse()   at System.Xml.XmlDownloadManager.GetNonFileStream(Uri uri, ICredentials credentials:

• Something is blocking _Update.exe, a firewall or your network settings.
• Ragehunter's auto-update server is offline, so chill for a bit :P

[Engine] Exception System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Text.StringBuilder.FormatError()

• This error is from mouse hook, disable it in general settings.
• DO NOT USE MOUSE HOOK! I hope i was clear

Other smaller problems:
Check in engine settings that you have ticked on Gather: herb/mine, and at "max enemy at node: 1" (or 2 if your bot can handle, 0 if u don't want the bot to fight at all - lvl 80 botting in twilight or something like that)

If you have a problem and want to post here for help please use some simple guidelines, and make sure u did this before you post:

• Tick "log debug", wich is next to the start button, and copy/paste the log, you can almost always find the cause of the problem in the LB log.
• Put your spells on bar 1-6 key 1-0 (not keys 11,12)
• If the bot presses the ESC key alot, then it's a problem with the behavior, go to combat settings, select each tab (pre-pull,pull,combat,rest,buffs), and take the spells there one by one and at target choose "unchanged"
• Disable all addons before u start the bot, they interfere with LB, most common one is bartender.
• Some problems were reported from users with AVG anti-virus, idk in what way it interferes with the bot, but disable it if you have troubles and keep an eye on it to see if that fixed it
• Mail only works with flying engine, and only if the profile already has "to town waypoints" or if u record them and if u have ticked "to town when bags are full" - check the video on how to make a flying profile, or how to add "to town" waypoints to an already made profile
• There are 2 types of profiles:
  - Grinding profiles that work only when the Grinding engine is selected (the profile is composed from 2 files, like example.xml + example.xml.path,
  - Gathering profile that work only when the Flying Engine is selected (the profile is composed from only 1 file, like example.xml - these are the same as 3-4 years ago when the bot started, so no matter how old it is, they will work, nothing changed). Also the blacklisted nodes for the profile are saved in the file, so edit the file with notepad or whatever, and delete the lines with [Badnode] in front if you want to start fresh or if you have alot of black (bad) nodes on your radar and your harvest/hour rate is low.
  Trying to load a profile with a wrong engine will lead to an error message "Could not load a valid profile for the selected engine".
• If you get this error: "CustomClass returned false on StartOk not starting", you need to have a behavior, so read the q&a below ^^

Q: What are Behaviors?
A: Behaviors are combat rules so the bot knows how to fight, there are different for each char...warr/pala/dk..etc...and each specc fury/retry/etc...The behaviors must be put in the Behaviors folder inside LB folder, then you go to combat settings in the bot, and choose the one for your char class/spec. If the folder does not exist, make it, name it exactly: Behaviors
After this, open the bot, click combat settings and from the drop-down menu up where is says: select behavior....select your class behavior

Q: What are Profiles?
A: Profile is the path that tells the bot where to go and who to kill. you can save these anywhere on your comp, then load them from profile settings/load a profile..
There are 2 kind of profiles....1 for each engine....
fly gathering profile ..wich is 1 file...name.xml....
grinding profile...wich is made of 2 files...name.xml and name.path.xml

Q: Shall i use Mouse Hook or Memory Writing?
A: Never use Mouse Hook. As for Memory Writing:
If you don't use MW:
upside: blizzard scans your comp it won't detect the bot.
downside: it will steal your mouse so you can't do something else at the comp (atleast in flying mode, in grinding mode only when it dies)
If you use MW:
upside: you can use your comp while botting, bot will not bother you, just put it in background, small wow window, don't minimize wow or the bot
downside: if you get reported and blizz scans you, it will "probably" find the bot attached to wow.exe (don't ask me the probability % cause idk)




Some PROFILES to get you started.

If you have more questions, need help with something bigger or anything, any1 can reach me on skype, my id is jumperu


Another guide for LazyBot, altough it is for an outdated version, maybe some1 will find something usefull by reading it LINK

Also a well written botting guide you should read: POST

I do not really support this, but i compiled an old lazybot v 4.0.6 for private servers (molten and others) LINK (not working)

DO NOT USE MOUSE HOOK

AND REMEMBER, DON'T EVER BOT ON AN ACCOUNT YOU DON'T WANNA LOSE.


If i helped you and you wanna give something back, PayPal , anything is much appreciated

[lazyang]

eyy jumperu you lied...lb exists since june/10, u never used it for 3 years :P
but thanks for the thread

[jumperu]

yea, i said around 3 years, can't remember the exact time, i still got one of the first versions of the bot, lazybot v0.3, i see it was created aug 2010 so ur prolly right, im bad at remembering things that happened a few years back

..just trying to keep the bot alive :P

[RedPirate]

Can you post the source for it? I've been looking around but can't find it

Though I would just need the source for updated pointers, I have the source for everything other than that.

[jumperu]

You can find what u need in this post ([WoW][4.3.3.15354] Info Dump Thread) ,i got them from there too

[pEcUrA]

I get Stuck everytime die

[jumperu]

Did u read the first post? or the manual?

Check ur keybinds and disable the addons u got, it's prolly from there.

[Paranomos]

For Some Reason I Cant load a behavior...I always get this message: "[12:48:27 πμ] Could not load the behavior, please select a different one
[12:48:27 πμ] CustomClass returned false on StartOk not starting" Can u plz tell me how to fix this?

[jumperu]

Ye, in the left of the bot choose behavior engine, not custom class. And delete custom class folder from LB.

[Paranomos]

I have Behavior Engine selected already :/

[Paranomos]

Only option is Behavior Engine...then I go to Combat settings,choose Prot Paladin then I close the window and when I press start it shows me the message above :S

[jumperu]

And in the behavior folder of lazybot u have the one for your class. there is a link in the first post, it contains all clases, maybe the behavior you are trying to load is broken. I suggest the "Retry Paladin" one, it's tested and works great.

[Paranomos]

Ok,I will try that one and post the results.Thnx for the tip.

[Paranomos]

Result is the same :S I chose that one,closed window and saved selected behavior and after running same message poped

[lama2p0]

Glad to see you made a new thread jumperu =) I was getting tired of all the spam on the other one and Mckhemo raging. Hope you'll continue to provide support =P

By the way, would you happen to know a way to get this and WoW to run in a virtual machine, or something like it?
