Greetings!
We've been working on our bot for Guild Wars 2 for a while now, and we feel it is currently in a state where we could have the general public test it in order to hunt down remaining bugs. The software is by no means final, and nasty crashes and bugs will occur - if you are not interested in testing beta software, and you're expecting 24/7 AFK botting, this isn't for you.
However, if you are - that's great! Guild Wars 2 buddy, or Gw2buddy for short is currently offered at no cost during the beta period, and you get the chance to run it as much as you like, and get a sneak-peek at what's coming up.
Currently, some of the main features are:
- Recast and Detour mesh navigation, meaning you only have to define your hotspots in your profiles.
- Support for all professions through an all-in-one Combat Routine.
- Support for Plugins, so you can extend the bot with your own creativity.
- Extensive API for third-party developers.
- Support for cleaning up your inventory; deleting trash items automatically and depositing all collectibles the bot finds.
- Combat and looting, obviously.
- The bot supports multi-botting through ISBoxer, on a first come, first serve basis.
- We update fast. Generally spoken, we have updates available within a few hours of the game updating.
There will be bugs, and there will be dragons. We do focus on ironing out any bugs we come across as soon as possible, and we have a constant stream of fresh updates and improvements coming out on a daily basis.
As aforementioned, the bot will come at no cost during its beta period, the only thing we would like from you in return is active participation in the beta process, which means reporting any bugs you may find, explaining the situation, what was the bot doing when a problem occured, and a full log as an attachment if applicable.
Profiles, and meshes
The bot currently supports two navigators; the first being a Recast and Detour full-map mesh navigator, which means you only have to define hotspots, and the bot will know how to get there by itself. For more information on how to obtain the latest set of meshes, take a look at Navigation - Gw2Buddy Wiki
The second being pre-recorded meshes. Some (older) profiles use these, and for these to work, the profile and the mesh need to be in the same folder.
I have attached a handful of profiles our users have made, but of course, feel free to make and submit your own!
User-submitted profiles can be found on our forums: Gw2Buddy Profiles
