  • [Vanilla] Thousand Needs / Freewind Post Elevator walking off end before elevator gets there


    So I am trying to get the elevators to work right in my grind profile
    in Thousand Needles. Instead of the character waiting for the Elevator
    to come up it just walks right off the edge and dies

    And yes I have the SlimDX 4.0 installed

    https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/slimdx/SlimDX Runtime .NET 4.0 x86 (January 2012).msi

    Even with NO addons and Smooth Path under Enter advanced settings, path-finding
    disabled it still does this and plugins disabled.

    Use Flying mount is also disabled.  Now I used the profile creator and created a test profile
    I never changed anything and yet it still just walks right off the edge. It
    should just stand there and wait for the elevator but it doesn't it walks
    off the edge.

    The test profile starts in Freewind Post at the Flight master and it should
    walk out to the end and then take the elevator down and then stop once it gets
    down off the end but instead it walks off the end instead of waiting for
    the elevtaor and dies.

    A copy of the test profile can be downloaded at

    Now the logs can be seen at
    https://sharedby.blomp.com/PUqrid

    You will want to look at starting at time stamp 13:47:45.607

    Now I find it intresting that your profile creator which is what
    I used to create this grind profile automatically assumes
    that you can fly to this location even though I have flying turned
    off.  Why is this?  I think that alone in your profile creator is
    a fatal flaw. It should not automatically assume that you can fly
    to a location.  When a person has flying turned off your profile creator
    should not assume you can immediately fly to that location.

    I did not add the CanFlyTo your profile creator immediately did that.

    This is an example line from the untounched profile created by your
    profile editor.

    <Vector3 X="-5383.621" Y="-2486.721" Z="89.06526" Type="CanFlyTo" />

    So I created a 2nd copy of the profile and I called it test2.xml
    again it starts from the flight master in Freewind post and I removed
    the Type="CanFlyTo" and I removed it so now the line looks like

    <Vector3 X="-5383.621" Y="-2486.721" Z="89.06526" />

    A copy of the 2nd profile can be downloaded at
    https://sharedby.blomp.com/VYN10H this is test2.xml

    So then I tested the profile test2.xml and nope it still walked right
    off the cliff again!  Even when it doesn't think it can fly to the
    spot it still walks right off the edge. This is maddening your
    bot is broken beyond belief when it comes to elevators.

    I am running the latest version of wrobot too as of today's
    date.  Wrobot 2.8.0 (26869) today is September 18 2024.

    The server I am on is a 3.3.5a (Wrath of the Lich King) private
    server.  I am running the right version of the bot and the bot
    works for everything else except this elevator. I have been running
    the bot now for a couple of months now.

    Even with all plugins disabled as well it still does this too.


    Look I am a trained network admin and If I am having this much problems
    with your bot then there are serious issues with this. This bot (Wrobot)
    is severely flawed but unfortunately there are not many other options
    out there.  

    You need to look at your bot when it comes to dealing with Elevators.

    I am seeing another old ticket from back in 2018, 2019 about this and it is
    marked fixed but this issue is definately NOT fixed.

    https://wrobot.eu/bugtracker/vanilla-something-is-fundamentaly-wrong-with-the-barrens-to-1k-elevator-r1046/

    I mean there are lots of reports of this issue.

    The devs have marked all of these as resolved or unconfirmed and the issue is not fixed. As I said I have smooth path
    disabled as well and it is STILL doing this.

    Do not simply close off this ticket please fix this issue because clearly it is not resolved.

    I would like the owner / head developer of Wrobot at this point.

    Please fix this problem the elevator at Thounsand Needles at Freewind Post
    is not working right.

    Hello,

    The problem is that you are using a predefined/static path (which doesn't account for the elevator), and when a predefined path is provided, the bot follows it without question.

    You can either add the C# code in "Action" to your path to account for the elevator (which is complex) : https://wrobot.eu/bugtracker/add-offmesh-forced-for-barrens-elevator-r1200/?do=findComment&comment=5561&_rid=1

    Or you can use hotspots and let the pathfinder do its job (this elevator is supported by the pathfinder, I just tried it and it works) test_ok.xml

    If you're still having the issue, please share the session logs where you're using the profile I shared with you.

    That is BS you need to fix your elevators it should be automatically handled.

     

    This is a problem with your bots your profile creator should handle for

    elevators. That is BS fix your elevators!  This is a bug and is not fixed. FIX THIS!

     

    Wow Droidz is an ass and closes everything off as not a bug with this is an issue

    with his profile creator and it not handling for elevators like it should this bot

    absolutely sucks!  Droidz has no clue what he is doing and is a complete jerk

    when it comes to bug reports he doesn't want to fix anything.  Wrobot absolutely

    sucks!

     

    There is no point in reporting anything to Droidz because all he does is dispute

    it and sayis it is working and refuses to fix anything! This bot sucks!

     

    I am utterly fustrated with wrobot and how poorly it operates!  Fix your damn bot Droidz!

     

    You sure take peoples money fast but won't give them a bot that works properly

    by all rights there should be a profile for level 1 to max level already included but no

    you are too lazy to do that and want peoples money but won't give them a bot that

    works properly.  Wow just wow. If anyone else is reading this I would never

    recommend WRobot to anyone don't buy it if you haven't already it is a

    complete mess!

    The profile test_ok.xml works for you ? (if not, share your log file)

    I gave you the answer, use hotspots rather than static/fixed paths. You can do this with the 'Grinder' by activating the option, or with the 'Quester' (default).

    If you really want to use a fixed path, you must add the necessary code yourself to take the elevator (the bot does not modify the fixed paths, he trusts the profile creator).

    That isn't an answer fix your profile creator so that it will work properly with the elevators

    with both hotspots and a path. This is a bug with your profile creator.  It should support BOTH

    and should be able to understand what to do when it comes up to an Elevator which is NOT

    the case right now when using a path.  Fix your bot.

     

    I should not have to add code it should be all in the bot already and the bot should KNOW

    what to do.  I am utterly fustrated with this bot as it doesn't include a full set of profiles and

    fight classes to go from 1 to max level and now you want me to code YOUR bot with additional

    code to get a path to work that is a joke.

     

    Also I do not even know how to get the coordinates in game to do an area anyways.  This is

    utterly rediclious this bot.  Fix your bot this is a bug with your profile creator and

    your bot for handling elevtators all of this should be IN the bot already and people should

    NOT have to code additional code to make YOUR bot work for a path. Fix this! This is a

    bug!

     

    Wow This guy is just horrible again I would never recommend this bot to anyone

    all the dev does is close off tickets as "not a bug" and doesn't listen to his customers

    which I am one of them.

     

    Once again fix your bot! I don't even know how you got these coordinates anyways

    to do this "area profile"

     

    Again the bot should work properly if you are doing a static path or an area and it

    should work either way using your profile creator which is what I used to create the

    test profiles before I attached.  Clearly it doesn't therefore this is a bug with your bot

    and profile creator and you need to address that! Fix it!
