LAZYBOT support thread, Q&A, requests and updates

[mi33]

My main problem with Lazy bot grinding profile is that if you are stuck on something you can't jump over, it's game over.

It would work ten times better if the bot mounted up, flew up and descended behind the obstacle instead of running into wall for 15 minutes. Even running backwards and to the side like in the flying engine would solve this problem.

it would work even better if the profile you created .. or you are using... is good. when you make a profile, you don't make the path trough a wall and expect the bot not to stuck, make it on a clear land with no obstacles in the path or in the spot pull range (green circles)

Standing about 40 yards away from the border of the spot, stuck behind crates because bot decided to wander off for some reason.

that usually happens if you minimize the bot or the wow window.

Another 3.3.5a Pserver support noob. XD

Im not asking for direct plug n play info, unless you want to give it to me.

1. Where can i find guides on how to make a behavior?
2. Do the newest profiles work with older versions of the bot? Newest behaviors as well?
3. Does the bot support background grind? I.e. minimize wow and the bot and it continues to run

I used pirox and had a great instance farming profile that supported the traveler's vendor mount. Does this bot have that ability? Thanks for the help.

Ultimately, I just want to mine and herb.

1. Still don't know how to make a behavior, and i havnt found a guide for it. Doesnt necessarily need to be for 3.3.5a version, ill figure it out if i can find an example.
2. Yes they do. Well atleast some do. I ended up making my own so I dont need the answer to that anymore.
3. Yes it does.. looked through the bot and figured it out.

I guess i just need to learn how to effectively make a decent behavior to create a decent large grinding profile.

i think i may have down syndrome, ive gone over the manuel and the video and my grinding profiles just dont work. Im trying to be helpful and make a leather grinding profile as i lvl ny skinner so i can share all the files once im done lvling my skinning, but i cant even get my crap to work, so frustrating. uploading my profile so maybe yall can give me some DO's and dont's.

Somewhat new to LB, but becoming more proficient by the day, I have a few questions:
Do AOE spells, like a 'Locks Rain of Fire, that require placement work with LBs combat profiles?
What grinding profiles for leveling (Horde side) do you guys recommend? I've tried several, but most have incomplete/ buggy ghost and vendor paths. I'm working on a few, but was wondering if there were great works out there that I could utilize.

1. Well, you can find in the first post a link to behaviors. I think there is 1 for each class and specc, but im not 100% sure. There is no guide for making them since its pretty hard for some1 "new to botting", but if you play abit with it, or take from the link an already made one, you can easily learn how to modify it.
3. Yes it does, but only when memory writing is enabled, thus making the bot more detectable. I use it also, since most bans come from reports, cause if warden were to detect us we would get insta-ban

"I guess i just need to learn how to effectively make a decent behavior to create a decent large grinding profile."

Behaviors are just telling the bot how to fight/what spells to use. they have nothing to do with the profiles, it can be a small profile or a flying profile, doesnt matter. You only need a very very good behavior if you are using the bot on a high respawn spot like deepholm or icecrown, and he needs alot of survivability, so you need to add potions and defensive cooldowns aswell since the common behaviors don't usually have.

Chill abit. First of all the grinding profiles must have 2 files, 1 is profile.xml, 2nd one is profile.path.xml.
Start with a small profile, ill tell you the steps:
1. Log char, attach, go to profile new profile.
2. go to subprofile/new subprofile
3. at the subprofile tab, after you target the ingame mob, clik on the + sign next to FACTIONS
4. at the subprofile tab clik add spot
5. go back to main tab and press record vertices (default will record on foot profile, so the bot will walk between the mobs, if you want to make a profile where the bot mounts between mobs, select here vertice type-ground mount)
6. make a circle with your char (clik in the profile main window ON TOP, so you can easily see the shape of the profile), stopping from time to time to add more spots, by clicking in the bot profile window add spot (or in the subprofile tab)
7. after you have closed the circle, save the profile and that is it

adding a vendor is indicated for large profiles/long botting times, if you don't know/can't figure how, post again i'll explain more...

Lb does not support aoe spells (idk if any bot can).
I don't play horde, but the best profile are the ones you make (if you know how) since the common ones are used by made players you could end up botting alongside another fellow lazybotter.
So choose remote areas, record a profile and ggg.

Happy botting all.

Thank you very much for the quick reply! I'll be experimenting with profile creation later today when maintenance ends
I guess a quick idea that comes to mind when finding a substitute for those spells, would be to incorporate things like Multi-Shot/chain lightning or other similar AOE-ish spells into your rotation that only require one target.
-Cheers!

I have a problem with LazyBot that I hope someone can help with. I am using an older version (1.7) for use on a private blizzlike server (3.3.5a). I have gotten everything working well, except that when bags are full and the bot hearths back to dalaran, he appears in the Inn, but gets stuck trying to walk through the side wall instead of using the door...

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance.

Lol, how would you suggest the bot finding his way back to the profile spot if he is in dalaran?
Find a closer vendor to the profile zone, and make a path to him, without spots on this path. After you are next to the vendor, go to subprofile, clik on the + sign next to vendor. continue the path back to the profile and save it. Always record the vendor path with vertice type "ground mount"
GL.

I don't think it would be viable since let's say you make a macro:
/cast chain light
/cast blizz
>you put it on key 1. when you press key 1 once, u cast chain light, second time you select blizz but you still have to clik where to cast the blizzard. so there is no way to make this without cliking ingame spot to place the spell, so it won't work.

[iansamuraiking]

These spells were intended as a replacement for placement AOE spells, not used in conjunction with them. Sorry if I was unclear

Maybe you're thinking Im using a newer version or something because "subprofile" doesnt appear anywhere in the interface. Also, I dont know if this is relevant, but Im using the sholozar profile from this website (mining).
