LAZYBOT support thread, Q&A, requests and updates

[charles420]

ok first, thank you so much for all the fixes
- next, if someone's experienced a problem with mailing like i had - bot came at mailbox, went through every bags' slot with mouse and didn't click on any, though you were sure that you have put those names into appropriate 'mail items' options field - then just make sure that you typed herbs' and ores' names with capital first letters like Green Tea Leaf (though it detects them on radar if you type what-to-gather names like green tea leaf). At least that's what i have in russian client
- finally i'm not able to use vendoring because of vendor's name typed in russian makes bot panic and even not to recognize a profine at all. This is what i got after i tried to load such profile:

Would be great if you could do something with it. Thank you again

Reporting back in as i have just tested the mailing feature before heading off to sleep.

04:43:12] Inventory full, we are now in to town mode
[04:43:13] Following ToTown waypoints
[04:43:46] Found a mailbox, lets do something
[04:43:55] Called addedToMail
[04:43:55] Found ContainerFrame with Slot count: 16
[04:43:57] Found ContainerFrame with Slot count: 20
[04:44:01] Found ContainerFrame with Slot count: 20
[04:44:04] Found ContainerFrame with Slot count: 20
[04:44:07] Found ContainerFrame with Slot count: 32
[04:44:12] Adding: Ghost Iron Ore
[04:44:13] Mail partly full sending and stopping loop
[04:44:15] Brok loop with: ClickedSomething
[04:44:15] Following ToTown waypoints back
[04:44:20] Bot stopped


I am please to say, the mailing feature does work and it was infact my UI addon that changed it, With the original panels and frames it works perfectly. Thank you to the developer who fixed this, massive gold increase for me! Thank you!

Though i still have a problem with encoding, Charles. The thing is (it also occurred before) if i have Eng keyboard layout On then when bot tries to mail stuff he types question marks in recipient field, so i get 'no such recipient found' error in game, but if i switch to Rus, then he fills recipient nickname correctly, but same problem when bot relogs - it types complete mess into blizz' account name field
Somehow Ragehunter did encoding that way i never worried about what layout i have atm, though before he fixed that, i used Eng layout for relogging and a macro bind for mailing, which was in Mail tab of general settings, that way i just typed recipient nickname in /script SendMailNameEditBox:SetText("nickname") macro, bot used a key with macro when he visited a mailbox, and there we go.
Hope its possible to do smth, at least mb to get mail macro keybind back in LB if you dont wanna mess with encoding

try this addon:

oMail - Mail - World of Warcraft Addons - Curse

It mails all u got in bags to any char u specify, i think it's faster than lb, idk for sure though, never tested it.

2nd solution is to make an bank-alt with a normal name, like Tylen or something, so the bot can mail to him...


for every problem there is a simpler solution :P

[tylen]

Yeah i thought of making a character with a nickname in latin, only you know blizz, they just dont let create nicknames with other than russian letters if you're doing it on rus realm

Will test oMail addon, though i never saw addon where you dont need to click smth, will see also how does it work well with LB which will go through bags slots same time the Addon will do it :confused:

blizz sucks...

as far as i read, that addon will start shipping of items in 2 seconds... " just open your mailbox, wait about 2 seconds, and oMail will start shipping stuff off." ..what u can do is, add to lazybot list only 1 item, let's say Life spirit (wich is bop and will not be mailed), or White Trillium Ore....and by the time LB goes trough bags looking for that specific item, that addon would have shipped the other items to your alt...
But again, i didn't test that addon, so idk for sure how it works...i will however test it now since u made me curious, i just came across that by accident

*LE: tested, works ok, it started mailing after 2 seconds...it took 10-15 seconds total to empty 2 mining bags (36 slots), so it's doable

[tylen]

Just tested it. Works like a charm I removed all items from LB's to-send list, so oMail really sends stuff to the recipient, and LB just goes though empty slots fast, i think its even faster than if he would click on every. The only thing to test is if oMail empties bags faster than LB goes through all of them if you got really full bags (mine were almost empty when i tested it).
But generally and yet its great resolve, thank you Jump

Updated To-Do List:

*To be added*:
- Button to clear auto bad nodes (In the Profile Settings, you are able to see how many <autobadlocation> have been added and you have the possibility to clear them.)
- Logout on whisper
- Shutdown computer when bags are full (not only after timer runs out)
- Adding a timer for the follower beep (Instead of having a beep every 5 s, it is now every 30 s)
- Beep alert on specific message. If the option “Play sound on whisper” is checked, then it will also beep for: /Say, /Whisper and “/Guild or /Officer if the message contains the player name”
- Different Sound alert for when bot gets attacked (or targeted) by opposite faction player
- Logout on follow uses seconds instead of minutes (Be sure that you set your value correctly. Note that the increment in the box is by 10s.)
- Add a Pause button next to Start
- Don't check for follower when paused or when in town mode
- Random relog value (The logout and re-login feature will use a random value in the interval that you have chosen in the Relog options)
- Stop bot if bags full after going to the vendor for grinding engine
- Add mailing feature for grinding engine too
- Adding the possibility to limit the gathering range (Using this new Flying engine settings, you can say how far from your path you will look for a node.)
- Write loaded profile name in log window
- Adding timestamps to Chat & Whisper Log
- Ignore oqueue addon whispers from whisper log window
- Add Alternate mount option (for getting out of water, druids mostly use this)
- Add underwater mount option (for gathering in Vas'jir)
- Add new rule for behavior - function - pet - is - in combat - with x mobs
- After 5 errors "i'm stuck" it should beep or logout
- Add a button to blacklist nodes/zones when you create a fly profile
- Add option to combine elementals for fly engine - motes, crystallized etc
- Logout or use hs/logout when targeted or followed for more than x mins or killed for more than x times in a row
- Add option to loot/skin killed mobs for fly engine
- Add random delay between casts for fishing engine
- Modify "Avoid elites" option for fly engine - to "avoid elites when level difference is smaller than 10"
- Add option for flying profile to run reversed (so it doesn't need to be a closed circle/shape, it should go from start-finish then back)
- Add a gather radius distance for fly engine - how far away should be bot stray from the path (my guess 2-300 yrds)
- Add info in the log when you start the bot - "LB might not work properly with wow minimized"
- Make flying engine work for rare mob hunting too - add their id under collect tab to hunt for them
- Add option to close bot if wow gets disconnected
- Since blizz introduced AOE looting, an option for " loot after x mobs " for a small area would be nice
- Add option to ignore specific follower/party member (for raf accounts/boosting chars) and option to attack already tagged mobs
- Add option to pause (grinding engine) after combat if another player is nearby
- Make bot start even if player is dead
- Adding an option in the Flying Engine profile settings to allow a path to be reversible (This option is usefull if you don't have a circle path. If checked then when hitting the last point of the path, the bot will follow the path in reverse and so on.)
- Enable looting for Flying Engine (There is an option in the Flying Engine settings to allow the loot or not after a kill.)
- Fishing in Fishpool enhanced (Recast until the bobber is in the Fishpool)
- Enable skinning of dead unit for Grinding Engine (It is now possible to skin corpses left by others)
- Option to change Vertice type for Grinding Engine profile (Now you can change the type of the vertice in the grinding engine profile settings. Just select the one(s) you want to change and click on the corresponding button.)
- Disable Mouse Hook (Remove it completely from the bot)
- Remove Rotator, LazyData and Converter plugins (Those are deprecated and not fully functional)
- Face the unit you want to loot or skin
- Adding timestamp to the logfile name (So each session of the bot will have its own log file and will be preserved)
- Change the status bar string
    For grindind: "K/L/S:x/x/x - D:x  - XP/h: x-TTL: x", (K)ill/(L)oot/(H)arvest, (D)eath
    For flying: "K/H:x/x - Deaths: x - H/H:x", (K)ill/(H)arvest, (H)arvest/(H)our










*BUGS*:
- when in combat with shamans - it will always target their totem
- stuck while flying - check if the bot is pressing forward but stands in the same position = stuck -> trigger go back + strafe
- Fly engine - does not detect when bags are full- does not go to mail - FIXED
- Fly engine - sometimes after combat, it does not loot the node he fought for....double check that the node is harvested
- There is no sound when whispered - FIXED
- Beep/logout when more than 5 stucks in a row

heey m8 ,
sry for bothering at this time itsjust wana ask u bout something am using the bot and its working rly perfect Flying eng with feral behavior the thing is
all is fine but i had checked herbs and mines from eng setting but my char always and only take mines no herbs tried to unchech mines and checkd only herbs , still same same its not picking herbs at all any idea plz i'd be rly thankful m8

best regards

[jumperu]

make sure that under "engine settings - collect tab - herb names" you have the correct names of the herbs u wanna harvest

[tylen]

it happened before in cataclysm that bot didn't see some herbs or ores on radar, usually restarting wow client helped, rebooting in worst case

[peterfried]

Hey there and thanks for your awesome work!

Probably my question has been answered but can't read everything and a 2hr google search and experimenting with the bot didnt help, so I ll ask here :

I use the bot for 3.3.5, flying like it should. But, it's ignoring all the nodes (I am a herbalist). Now, I have checked "Herb" on settings, interact with mouseover is set on U and interact on target is set on P. Any help?

I ve somewhere read that I should have a file named "Collect" on my root Lazybot folder. Is this real, and if so, shouldnt it be in the bot when I downloaded it

[jumperu]

it should be in the bot yes, depends were u got the bot from...i cant really remember how that version was, see if in engine settings u got a tab named collect...and check if all the herbs are there..

if u need the file, just dw the last version of the bot and take the files from there..

[peterfried]

thanks for your answer. I got the bot from a mediafire link from ownedcore, in another thread.
There is no such tab on settings, but:
I just noticed that the Herb.xml file on root folder of Lazybot has everything written in russian. Maybe that's the problem? I mean, all the herb names are in russian, and I am using an english version of the game.!


edit: GREAT SUCCESS! That was the problem! (got the list from the newest version and replaced it!) Thanks for the help and the idea
