SGather - A simple and powerful gathering bot

[Ronnyv1]

it seems the town way points are exactly what it says, it leads the bot to the town and the bot searches for repair vendors/mailboxes in a similar fashion to which it finds nodes. shame on the author for not posting the obvious stuff.

[Kithkin]

This is a very nice program, great work!

I've been testing it out today while monitoring it. I made a profile for Icecrown and in the last hour it's collected a stack of titanium and a dozen saronite stacks. Very handy! I've only come across a few issues with it, but they're not bad at all.

Sometimes I find nodes on a hill or a steep slope. If a mob aggro's and it causes me to run down to defend and kill it, if the slope is too steep the bot cannot run back up to gather from the node. Instead of remounting and approaching the node, the bot gives up on it and moves along the waypoint path to the next hit. A minor inconvenience as there will be plenty of other nodes on the profile, but worth noting.

Also, when you aggro and kill a mob during gathering, is there any way to have the bot loot that kill? The mechanics are already in place to mail or sell anything unwanted from your gathering, so it isn't like filling your bags twice as fast is going to be a hindrance.

Again, great work and keep it up!

The converter doesnt work

[brad55590]

yeah the Converter doesnt work, also has anyone been able to get a profile for mining copper or tin working?

I have tried to create a new profile but the bot only mounts and stays in one position.

Please help.

The converter doesnt work

It didn't work for me at first either, so what I had to do is:
1. Make a new notepad
2. Open original Sholozar Basin.xml in notepad
3. Copy and paste all of Sholozar Basin.xml into the NEW notepad
4. Convert whatever profile you want, then replace the waypoints in the NEW notepad you made(from the first <poisition> to the /<position above </TownWaypoints>) with the waypoints you got after converting your profile
5. Save as -> any name with .xml at the end
IE:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

</GatherProfil>

Sorry if that was a bad explanation.

As stated by others and the author on previous pages, this is a FLYING bot. Profiles created in old Azeroth areas where you cannot currently fly will not work.
You can only effectively use it in flying zones. If you are mining, you can gather any BC and Northrend mineral veins. Nothing from copper through thorium spawns in current flight zone areas.

here is a converter for gatherbuddy profiles:

remember, it's pretty sloppy and fast coded - it worked for almost every profile i had, but it might not work for some of yours.

ah, and thanks for crediting to my epvpers accname

Edit: created a new version, should work better.

Great bot Juju !

Just add a deposit to bank function like gatherbuddy for perfection !

Thanks a lot !

hrm, edited it once again

would be helpful if you could post/upload me your waypoint file cuz the previous version worked for almost every profile i've downloaded in the HB Forums.

Is there any requirements for this to work without World of Warcraft errors and the gathering program to not put out an error?

I've tried some things but can't get it to work properly.

[ipodnano]

Hello. Just out of curiosity , does this bot work for patch 3.3.5a ? I've read the entire thread about errors trying to "attach" the bot and getting it to work but I can't seem to make it up and running. I have net framework 4 installed and also tried running it on Admin (right click -> run as -> check admin box). but yet i'm still getting the same error. May I know what seems to be the problem here ? Old patch problem maybe ? Would appreciate any given explanations regarding this. Thanks in advance !

And oh, I'm running on XP , if in any case, being a matter here, lol.

[Kithkin]

In an effort to contribute something, let me throw these up here.

I have put together a few profiles for this bot which I've found so damned useful. XD Take note these are more oriented for Mining and follow paths near foothills / crags etc.

I made a Wintergrasp profile which does a full circuit of the zone, starting south of the fortress gates. After a full pass, it will also cut across the zone and do a very wide U-turn around the middle, to catch any missed nodes around the bridges and towers. It should be flying high enough not to get hung up on anything as well. I have added only one town waypoint in each of the files - about 100 yards up in the air above your faction's respective base camp, in case your faction is not in control of the battleground. I strongly advise against AFK-botting here, because, well, it's WG and you're likely to get ganked if you're on an active server, in addition to the bot going 'LOLWUT' when the battle starts every 2:15:00.

Kithkin's Wintergrasp for Alliance Base

I have also created an Icecrown profile that starts around the 'dead dragon crater thing' south of Tournament grounds. Altitude is a little higher because of flying NPC's but nodes still showed up for me on 3 full circuits. City waypoints are in the tournament grounds, neutral repair vendor and horde tent mailbox also have city waypoints, plus one up in the air close to the circuit waypoints so you don't get stuck approaching town. I also have several blacklisted nodes near elite mobs so you don't get capped defending yourself. (I let it run unattended for a half hour test run doing dishes, came back fully broken with 130g repair bill BEFORE I blacklisted the nodes. All good now!) I tried using testhb2010's Icecrown profile for a while, but even after blacklisting a few nodes I kept running by a lot of elite spawn areas, so I just made a new one and bypassed the danger zones.

Kithkin's Icecrown profile

You may have to blacklist a few extra nodes that didn't spawn for me while I was making the path files, but all around, I did a supervised 1 hour run on each and it went very well. I even raked in 5 stacks of Titanium Ore once it was all said and done (lucky night!).

As usual, bot unattended at your own risk!

Right guys got a massive map (covering 3 zones with 1k+ waypoints) but apparently forum file size is only 40kb for attachments. Either way it's not quite done yet. http://rapidshare.com/files/430542191/Massive_Map.xml

Got the waypoints for bad nodes (over 100kb file). But for some reason isn't letting me convert them. So lets get together a badnodes communal text file that people can add to.I'm sorry but I'm not going to go through thousands of waypoints by hand.

That way every time we make a new profile we will be able take the most recent badnodes and copy paste them into our profiles.

We should end up with an outland/northrend magelist of bad nodes

Chester can't seem to get your converter to convert my bad nodes waypoints into SGather format.(again for some reason keep getting an error [500 blah blah blah] on trying to attach it- really starting to piss me off).

http://rapidshare.com/files/430542052/safebadnodes.xml <-----That is the super bad nodes file I have,

[Chester]

well that with the badnodes is right, haven't them implemented yet cuz i got to no SGather Profile with badnodes, so i dunno about the syntax.

Edit: there you go,
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K3DIE19X V3 with BadNodes.

Remember: SGather doesn't save the BadNodes in a seperate file, they're saved in each profile.
