Update Plans (plasmaBot!)

I plan on updating my script for plasma-farming (after checking for anyone else's via google anyways)

If you have a script you've made / altered and are willing to share it, let me know and I'll post it for the community :)


Basically I'll be making my script a LOT more user-friendly by changing variable names, having it auto-adjust brightness, and putting in a /lot/ more options for debugging/troubleshooting (namely the last is of most importance). Also I will fine-tune a few bugs.
Why? Because I recently logged on and I see a lack of smiths and materials for sale (ones I do see are still pricey).



I'll keep the original post for the script as-is for historic/comparison value.


As I am busy for irl matters (University+Job=NoFreeTime), how often I will get around is few and far between as there are many thigns I do with my leisure time.

I'm making a top-down zombie defence/shooter orpg for instance!
^I will likely abandon that project though.

  2. Thank you for the encouragement... admitance of not having to put effort in this yourself? Same thing...

    Mhmm, I'm fairly busy with 360 Achievements atm though.

  3. I guess what you are saying is true, but learning a language takes time(one that you already invested) I too am busy not with 360 achievements but with other things. If you were to make it more user friendly or readable that would help in further editing it.

    I didn't mean to sound like a leech but why reinvent the wheel when someone already did?

    I was trying to thank you on your selfless act to help other people by contributing this as I am sure many will benefit as they already have from the other stuff you posted...

    If I didn't find your posts useful I wouldn't have you bookmarked. Anyways, good luck and I will still be looking forward for when you start/finish this project.

  4. autoIt is more of a compiliation of languages, it's pretty basic and for the most part it's the same select functions over, and over, and over.
    The math is the hard part :P


    Atm I'm running into the same problem as most with the plasma bot, so I'm working on making a script to "find and replace" certain values with the correct.
    Ie, auto-fixing the "connection gauge".

    Things like the plasma itself would require waaay too much effort.


    I'm considering other things too, like seperate windows for clan/party/all chat, etc. So you can chat + surf the net, or what have you. All kinda stuck in my mind, and the chat-system could be worked mulitple ways (and require consistant updates).
    Other (legitimate) tools like finding out an average exp/hour (making grinding groups know that they suck).


    I'll work on the plasma-bot a bit tonight when I have time.



    And I was joking on the... joke? Hard to express humor on the internets sometimes.

    Cheers, it's good to hear that someone is following my exploits :P
    Blogspot doesn't have decent tools for tracking people who arn't logged in (wonder why people don't login :O -- jk)

  5. Ahh I see, indeed it is hard to express humor through written word -_-

    "I'm considering other things too, like separate windows for clan/party/all chat, etc. So you can chat + surf the net, or what have you."

    all those ideas sound amazing it didn't even cross my mind that you could even attempt that. Perhaps I am too narrow minded? >.<

    As far as programing languages go I only know a little bit of C++ and tried Visual Basic(I didn't like it at all), although I can kind off read the code of your script I can't edit it very well so I have to learn.

    I'm the anon from before btw. ;)

  6. :P

    I know VB extremely well and autoIt well.

    Yeah, it's possible. Was done on an old (very old) game I played (Darkages; www.darkages.com).
    Granted 2D is much, much easier to bot with than 3D.

    Majority of my ideas come from other people bottign on other games.
    You just have to adapt the code to work.

    Basically anything is possible, as cheesey as that sounds.

    Ichi gold auto-runner? Possible! Albeit extremely hard to make without failure.


    I didn't notice you logged in until you mentioned it :P
    Just make sure you arn't sharing too much information via your account-profile, last thing needed is a bunch of people running around calling you a botter/hacker/etc.

  7. It does sound cheesy but it's true XD

    And about the account don't worry It has nothing to do with my megaten account besides, the internet is a big place and I could be anybody.

    Though personally I don't think Botting is wrong some people just choose not to waste their life in tedious things like say farming for 3 hours, other than wasting 3 hours of your life you gain nothing from this task.

  8. If botting is bad, then there should be ways to prevent it.
    Which there arn't.

    On megaten anyways.

  9. i was looking at the july post and i did ctrl + space and the script did say "toggle true" but theres no spinning or start collecting in the game..just doesnt move

    strange

    ReplyDelete
  10. actually i starting making it to work, but problem is does it not auto "walk" at all the character? because i need to "walk" the character close to plasma in order to make it work

    ReplyDelete
  11. no, it doesn't make the character "walk around" as spurradic movement would/could be detected by any player very easily.
    "Why is he walking into that wall..?"
    *hour later*
    "He's still going... *SSes/Fraps and reports*"

    I'm sorry, but you'll have to troubleshoot the old code yourself for the time-being, if you thumb through the comments, you might be able to find something.

    Past that, sorry. Busy irl with exams so I havn't been on Megaten to test out the new bot.
    Atm theres nothing new on it persay. Just all the code is cleaned up and easier to thumb through.

  12. ^Follow up.
    Unless you can 'see' the plasma on-screen and your character isn't moving closer, inwhich case the script isn't detecting the plasma.

    Inwhich case you'll have to replace the plasma-color values (hit print screen, open up autoit window info, and paint).

    If the plasma is on the screen, then it should click it / character should b-line for it.
