[HB][PB] Tolvir Archaeology + Sonic Locator abuse

[tiptopz]

Simple PB profile to abuse the exploit HERE (Archaeology: Infinite Tol'vir Digsites) before it is fixed in 5.4

got mount after 114 solves! So happy, thanks again for sharing!

Got mount after 198 solves, profile works wonders!

Last night I got a "Recipe: Vial of the Sands" and "Scepter of Azj'Aqir" by this profile. Really amazing!!

works flawelessly, you deserve more rep!

(I Did get the crawling claw, though and the profile works brilliantly!)

You may need to adjust the wait timers etc. based on when the locator actually activates, but 5s should be enough.
There may be some bugs or funkiness with it as I only watched it for an hour, but everything appeared to be fine.

Uldum Exploit.xml v1
Uldum Exploitv2a.xml v2a
Uldum Exploitv2b.xml v2b

What's new in v2b:

• Unsupported Login/Logout feature for those having issues with zoning.

What's new in v2a:

• New routine that should fix issues with getting stuck out of zone.
• Settings to adjust delay for Sonic Locator generation.

Bugs:

• Rarely HB bugs out and will stop moving; needs a restart for Archaeologybuddy to work again... trying to track down the cause
• (Relog method only!) Does not loot the final Archaeology fragment before relogging (should get it after it relogs and gets new locations)

What it does:
(After leaving uldum)
Switch secondary bot to Combat Bot
Wait five seconds
Turn around
Walk forward
Wait until you're back in uldum
Wait five more seconds
Change bot back to Archaeologybuddy


Designed on rev597 or later of official ProfessionBuddy SVN!
Make sure you update your professionbuddy before posting a bug.

To use:
1) Select bot profession buddy
2) Load this profile using the PB interface
3) Configure Archaeology buddy to blacklist all digs except Tolvir
4) Make sure you're in Uldum, then start.


Solutions to common problems:

i found that using the Honnorbuddy Beta download, without restarting HB after it asks you to do so to uppdate Proffbuddy, it works flawelessly

Testing this Now. will report back!

it seems unusual slow takes 5-6seconds before digging after landing, and before moving afterwards, noticed that it seems to swap to combat bot? wierd petspells loaded spammin debug. going to try later with the Beta version and a clean install of the current one. s

Uppdate:it often stops working and randomly flies around in tanaris... so its not worth really



+Rep anyw

Upon zoning to Uldum and surrounding zones it takes a second for the dig sites to appear because of xrealm. Just hop to the surrounding zone, look for Uldum digsites to appear and then zone back to Uldum and watch them reset. 345 solves still no mount...........................

This may be a stupid question since I've never used a bot before.... HB and PB are HonorBuddy and what other bot?

[tihifniz]

HB = Honorbuddy - PB = Professionbuddy, a botbase for Honorbuddy.

Gonna try this profile when i go to bed, awesome if it works, +rep.

If I used all spots in Uldum, he flies up to Un'Goro and nothing happens, just making some weird moves. Any ideas? But nevertheless: Nice work! : )

Once it actually gets to the digsite and surveys for the first time, it does nothing afterwards.

Working better now... first digsite went fine, onto the 2nd.

Do you have any correlating data? Whats your avg latency? I haven't noticed any slowdowns. The tanaris thing is probably due to latency, the bot flies too far out to get back and then just loops the routine. I'm working on a more solid routine today.

Archaeologybuddy will fly to the closest blacklisted digsite if all Tolvir digs are gone. We're abusing that fact by switching to combat bot once we leave uldum (to stop movement and reset archaeology buddy) then turning around and flying back into uldum and start archaeology bot again (to reaquire digsites). Looks like the routine is bugging out for you as well, what is your avg latency?

my AVG latency is 68-78, What do you mean with correlating data, i followed the guide, i dont usualy use proff buddy when botting tho so idk

edit2: i was watching the bot, and it flew stright out in fatigue and almost didint make it back, is that normal?

New update with better return routine: http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/atta...exploitv2a.xml

I'm not using beta, but I'm glad you found a working solution. However you have reminded me that I use the Professionbuddy SVN so I'll include that in original post.

I'm not sure why it would fly out into fatigue. Haven't had it happen to me yet, but I'll look into adding a catch for that. If you were watching it at the time, was it trying the return routine repeatedly? That might cause it to slowly inch out.

edit: let me know if you get fatigue issues with the new version.

hmm, the bot tends to survey in the exact same spot now and then, anything I'm doing wrong anyone can guess of off hand? :x
I'm using the proffession buddy in the beta hb download since my svn client doesn't want to download from the PB svn(insists files are missing)
rep given, of course :P

[tiptopz]

No idea, I've been observing that as well. I made sure to eliminate the possibility that it was exclusive to the PB profile though, seems like Archaeologybuddy just has issues with some of the .wmo's or something.

[qq12345]

Ah not just me then.

Hmm, the bot tends to turn go back from uldum into silithus or tanaris even when there are digsites in uldum.(when trying to refresh digsites)
will see if increasing the wait time helps.
edit:it seems its sometimes still wants to head to the blacklisted dig site, and only after awhile goes for the uldum one.(of course this makes it keep randomising)

I used now v2a and now I have to say: It works fine for me! Thanks for your help anyway : ) - I have another question: Can someone tell me, why ArchBuddy cannot solve the fragments automatically? I just switched it off and on in the options, but when its on, the bot tries to solve and nothing happens. It will just stand still. Thanks mate! : )

Sometimes the form is really buggy, whenever that happens I close the bot entirely and restart it, use the dropdown and select archaeologybuddy and set the settings, then save them and restart the bot again to see if they stuck.
