      Bought this for the celestial tournament (as I suspect most will). Is there any way to add quest profiles for the individual battles? I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what's missing to make the Celestial Tournament profile run.

      I have a halfway done solution for this, but have been unable to implement it fully due to the things that have been going on the last couple of days. Adding quest profiles that do nothing is not the route I would be willing to go.

      Edit

      To elaborate a bit on this: The tournament has 3 sets of NPCs in Stage 1 of the Scenario. Each week one of these sets is active. You also can only use each pet only once while in the scenario. The bot is basically evaluating all possible combinations of tactics which at this time comes down to roughly 821.000 combinations. It is not only a hard time figuring out which pets are missing, but also to display that vast a number of combinations so that a user can comprehend it.

      Tiny Snowman is really powerful in this encounter. But you can get it on the auction house for little money. I always see a couple Tiny Snowman on rare/level 25 on the AH for as little as 1800 gold.

      thank you
      I waited 3 days to have one Tiny Snowman in AH 2500G and not rare
      however, direct buy, better than wait until winter

      In fact, I search on google
      have two combinations can be easily KO this mission
      But the operation is relatively trouble
      Team one :
      Crawling Claw (Agony+Death Grip+Curse of Doom)
      Darkmoon Zeppelin (Missile+Bombing Run+Decoy)
      Terrible Turnip (Tidal Wave+Leech Seed+Leech Seed)

      Team Two:
      Ghostly Skull (Shadow Slash+Ghostly Bite+Unholy Ascension)
      Pandaren Fire Spirit (Magma Wave+Flame Jet+Conflagrate)
      Blue Clockwork Rocket Bot(Missile+Toxic Smoke+Launch Rocket)

      I'm new to the tournament, but as I understand it, when you zone into Phase 1 on a given week you are given a fixed set of 3 NPCs. And then the 4 celestials obviously never change. Wouldn't it be possible to have a profile for each of the 3 possible sets of Phase 1 NPCs?

      Second question..... I did a bit of work (and even spent a bit of money) obtaining and leveling up pets required by the various tactics on each individual NPC and Celestials tactics, but the profile still shows missing pets. How can i use the current version of the plugin to determine what exactly is needed to run the profile? Really hoping to get this done before the weekly reset tomorrow and I'm 0 for 3 on trying the tournament by hand.

      The issue is that the bot does not know which set of NPCs is up until it gets there and scans the NPCs visible. There is no API to check for it in advance. I was thinking about adding a calendar-based check but the day of the reset varies with the region World of Warcraft is in and the method used to determine the region fails as soon as a customer has accounts in multiple regions. If I for example add three profiles, then one of them may be available and would fail as soon as you get there, because e.g. you have the pets for set 1, but set 2 or 3 is active and you don't have the pets for those.

      Right now the bot only allows starting the tournament profile if you have the pets to beat any possible combination. If you want to check for it exactly you would have to go through the list of tactics and check for all 3 combinations manually.

      Set 1
      Lorewalker Cho
      Dr. Ion Goldbloom
      Sully "The Pickle" McLeary
      Chi-Chi, Hatchling of Chi-Ji
      Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen
      Yu'la, Broodling of Yu'lon
      Zao, Calfling of Niuzao

      Set 2
      Wrathion
      Chen Stormstout
      Taran Zhu
      Chi-Chi, Hatchling of Chi-Ji
      Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen
      Yu'la, Broodling of Yu'lon
      Zao, Calfling of Niuzao

      Set 3
      Blingtron 4000
      Wise Mari
      Shademaster Kiryn
      Chi-Chi, Hatchling of Chi-Ji
      Xu-Fu, Cub of Xuen
      Yu'la, Broodling of Yu'lon
      Zao, Calfling of Niuzao

      If you can give me the links, I can see if I can build tactics for them.

      Okay - I was only checking that I had tactics satisfied for the NPC set of that particular week. When I went back and satisfied pet requirements for ALL npc sets, I was able to run the Celestial Tournament and complete it.. Woohoo!

      Hey, i bought this for the tournament also. So I have to cover all tactics which include ALL the tournament NPC tactics before I can run it?

      Yes. But that is only the current state.

      I am working on a way to determine the game region reliably so I can make the tactic checks date-dependent. This way I can merge all date-based profiles into one (like one single profile for all the menagerie dailys) but also rewrite the tournament profile so that it only checks for the pets on a given day. It will require some work however, because the Blizzard API returns wrong values if you run your wow client with accounts from more than one region. The last resort is making the region a character-based option so you can set that for yourselves.

      Studio, Pet Battle Studio rocks incredibly hard. I had one question though...when I'm use the Capture functionality (seeking out specific pets to catch), why does the app use anything put rare higher level pets to fight? I keep losing battles in this mode. Might as well level pets in this mode as well.

      I actually just had to look at my own code again. :)

      The selected pets are sorted by type advantages (both pet type and available attack types) and level. It all is calculated into one value that should determine the strength against the enemy. I could probably add the rarity in as a weight, but it would require some fiddling to get the balance right.

      I did not add an option to set the rarity for the pets used during capture mode, because I was going by the principle that the bot should know best. You have to strike a tight balance, because if you choose pets that are too strong, you won't be able to get the enemy pets into the <35% health capture area, but instead kill them.

      I have added an experimental change to the pet selection algorithm. It should now consider higher rarity pets to be stronger in general. But I have to test this for a bit to see that the value for each rarity level is not too high or too low. If it works out, it will be in the next Studio Companion update.

      Important Announcement

      The community developers have been informed that Honorbuddy will undergo major API changes with the release of the Legion expansion. These changes will make it necessary to update and retest my entire product portfolio. Even though my customers are used to very frequent updates, I feel that in this situation I have to postpone all patches until this change is public. I will spend this time preparing all of my products to the best of my ability and also work on the successor to Studio Companion.

      I promised to update and maintain all my products through the entire Legion lifecycle for free and I will stick to that. I hope you can understand that it does not make sense to update products that require another overhaul in two weeks time. I can serve you better by preparing the next generation of all my products. I will be working hard on a new free product called StudioBot that will show you a whole different side of botting and that will then be used for all my products. I can not yet reveal all the features, but I am sure you will be amazed and happy.

      I can only hope you can understand my reasoning behind this. If I were to update the existing products, you would maybe get a better one for a week or two and then be left with a broken one, because I did not have the time to prepare. I am hoping Bossland will supply us with a preview version soon, so the downtime for all my customers will be minimal.

      I am not allowed to reveal the nature of these changes, so please don't ask. You can also still report all bugs and I will keep them on my list to make sure they are gone with the new versions.

      My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.

      Studio60

      I'm trying to run this Profile with GatherBuddy2 but all I get is Error: "There are no hotspots in the current profile. Either the profile is not a proper Gatherbuddy profile or a malformed one."
