How to make a grinding profile

[edw_ro]

Hello,

I'd like to say that you have made an extraordinary bot, it's really impressive , even in beta.
I would like to know how can i make a profile where my Monk can go kill some mobs in a zone?

Thanks

[telcy]

the grinding mode is not released yet. maybe with the next version

Just take a look in the example files.

First glimpse from creating a short grinding profile:

Go to the zone you want to create a profile in.
Start Profile Editor
Create a Gathering Profile
tick

• auto add waypoints

remember your starting point
walk around until you have a nice route
shut down profile editor
open up the file you just created
(should look something like this)

Code: [Select]

1=2993.08 -688.74 231.68
2=3022.74 -682.3 228.05
3=3055.86 -674.69 228.98
4=3085.67 -667.43 229.87
5=3116.16 -664.82 231.19
6=3147.02 -674.47 229.45
7=3171.94 -695.81 230.28
8=3174.82 -727.37 231.67
9=3160.69 -754.56 227.19
10=3133.91 -769.59 227.57
11=3101.52 -763.77 228.74
12=3073.62 -748.38 228.18
13=3045.18 -733.77 225.74
create a new file you name whateveryoulike.CGrind

copy this part into it:

Code: [Select]

[Profile]
Steps=1

[Step1]
min=1
max=3
KontinentID=0
MobIds=
HotSpots=

then look up the ID of the NPCs you want to have killed on wowhead
adjust the continent ID (pandaria is 0)
adjust the level range for grinding (min= and max= )
count your hotspots from the gather profile (protip: look at the last line)
add a "HotSpot" in front of each coordinate line
substitute the blanks in the coordinates with semicolons
(protip: find & replace " " -> ";"

profit

final result should look somewhat like this:

Code: [Select]

[Profile]
Steps=1

[Step1]
min=85
max=86
KontinentID=0
MobIds=66668
substeps=1
HotSpots=18
HotSpot1=3138.43;-771.98;227.16
HotSpot2=3108.64;-780.6;227
HotSpot3=3079.32;-791.06;227.69
HotSpot4=3046.65;-791.82;227.28
HotSpot5=3023.35;-771.93;231.26
HotSpot6=3000.85;-749.94;232.27
HotSpot7=3003.69;-718.6;230.58
HotSpot8=2981.69;-693.7;233.82
HotSpot9=2992.03;-663.03;230.09
HotSpot10=3018.22;-647.15;233
HotSpot11=3042.37;-668.81;229.27
HotSpot12=3072.66;-670.82;228.88
HotSpot13=3103.93;-665.42;230.33
HotSpot14=3133.66;-656.34;229.67
HotSpot15=3160.88;-671.83;227.84
HotSpot16=3172.85;-701.05;230.88
HotSpot17=3164.05;-729.94;229.84
HotSpot18=3158.19;-759.77;227.02

this profile will walk around the starting area in pandaria (level 85 starting area, where the horde gunship crashes) at honeydew glade and kill the sha-infected prowlers.
keep in mind that you must have quested up to the point where the sha infested prowlers appear.
it's quite a "done in 3 minutes" profile, but it does its job.

should help getting started with grinding profiles

Just a extra note:

when you make a profile with the editor it will give you this line

ges=###

just change 'ges' to 'Hotspots'

Also if you add more then one mobId use pipes | to separate them you can get the ID's by targeting and using the Debug option in crawlerbot and click on the option for info on target)

[sorekaze]

Will this auto-loot from our target mobs? If not, is it possible to use the spell id for the loot command (on wowhead) to cast on our target mobs when they have 0 hp?

I seem to be having issues creating a profile. Everything seems fine but everytime I try to load it it just crashes the bot. "Stop working"

This is just a small profile I made as a test to kill a few Dustback Mushan's In Valley of the Fourwinds
Any idea's as to why it isn't working?

P.S if I load someone elses profiles then it doesn't crash...

Awesome guide. Everything worked perfect save i messed up when adding mutiple monster i.ds to grind. I tried seperating them with semi-colons, commas, whitepsace seperate monster i.ds (like a monster id = number value monster id = number value.. etc etc) but it only ever just grinds the first monster i.d i put. this is my current code.

Try entering some MobId's. Also the "max" could be a problem here. If you want him to grind something even though you are maxed level, just delete the min & max line (should work)

MobIds=63611;63610;64437;

MobIds are sperated by "|" not ";" (; in fact ends the mobid line)

Try putting it this way:

Code: [Select]

MobIds=63611|63610|64437

Thanks for the response, I took out the Min/Max and added in the Mob ID and now the bot is not crashing, however even though I am in the right zone, It just says:

Grining Started!
Found 1 Steps

Then it pauses and does nothing....

As I already wrote:

Your Continent ID is wrong.
Pandaria is 870

I really, really dislike cross posting

I hate to disagree with a mod but are you sure the KontinentID is the problem in his profile? In the profiles created by the editor, the lvl 85-87 pandarian profile posted on the forums posted in grinding, and my own working profiles the KontinentID=0 for Pandaria.

For people struggling to make a grinding profile you should read http://mmocrawlerbots.com/forum/guides-tutorials/how-to-make-a-grinding-profile/  and scroll down to the post by kampfschaf.

I know my grinding bot wasn't working when I first made the profile after using the 'fishing' and debug bots but once i exited crawlerbot completely and reopened it then chose grinding and my profile it started downloading meshes and then it worked fine.

You have spaces between your X,Y,Z cords they need to be  semi-colons ";" as I pointed out earlier read the post i linked above and it will mention this

I am going to rewrite this with formatting and all, but I currently have LAN PARTY guests and we're going full addict on World of Tanks.

Thank You!  You was right it was mentioned in the post but I seemed to have missed it.
Thanks again :-)

I have made a grinding path and was just wondering is it possible to mount up?
Im not to familiar with the codes or anything but my guess would be
MountID= id of mount?
