[Guide] Simple Bots

I wrote a few bots using autohotkey but ive never seen this program b4, just hot good is it, like to know b4 i start using it

AutoIT?

It's used more than Autohotkey, thats all I say.

AutoIt and AutoHotkey are roughly equivalent in power, though significantly different in semantics. (They are both based on the same source code, explaining the similarities)

Yes, I do it using a UDF (user defined function) available on the AutoIT Forums... ImageSearch, it is a set of functions that will scan a region or entire desktop for a matched image... and then return the x,y coordinates of it.

So basically, you get a screen shot of the word image your looking for... crop it to just the part you need,

(I recomend you do it while ALT is pressed for easier matching)

then you write a script that presses ALT and scans for the image with about a 75 tolerance (works well for my scripts)

If there is enough interest for me to make a TUT let me know and I will see if I have time this weekend...

Auto IT is much better in recent versions... and the people with AutoHotKey sort of STOLE an earlier release... and used to be part of AutoIT... the branch is not as high quality in my opinion... but I have been using AutoIT since back when all that drama erupted... so I might be a little biased toward the original, and still most innovative...

Well, the story is more complicated, because AutoHotkey is based off of an officially released version of the source, from a time when AutoIt was in development hiatus. I use both for different reasons-- AutoHotkey, as per the name, is much more effective at writing simple hotkey-related macros, whereas AutoIt is generally more suitable for large-scale bots.

i would really love to see a TUT on how to go about doing it. i have some programming knowledge so i should be able to get into it somewhat easy. If its anything like php or vb or html i should be able to bring out some bots in the future.

AutoIt borrows heavily from VB syntax, so you should be right at home.

hmm, ill start using it but what is really ticking me off is this itemdb.xml mod, im not only trying that silly friend summoning capsule thing but im trying to turn(for my friend in rl who has been with me since i started mabi) some of the standard foods into mana elixers, foods that you could get while dungeoning like slice of cheese or berry, or for when he gets to ciar advcin chicken wings, when i try to search the item file it reveals nothin regarding elixers or anything about summoning caps, i was wondering if someone could send me the actual file of their own, updated with the changes to it, or push me in the right direction regarding how its done. Thanks in advance.

I used to use this site for getting hacks/mods every single day for justabout every game i played, but mabi players seem to keep this site as the last thing on their sharing list.... =(

let me tell you a few things...

summoning mod works, nexons just lazy

all other itemdb mods DO NOT

i personally tried changing stuff into other things time after time after time again, in many different ways. and they all failed.

this is because nexon does a server check to see what happens and what works and whatnot

o yeah for the elixers, try searching for Potion and Mana for fastest results

lol guess u didnt have time this weekend.

also would the autoit program be exact enough to be able to hit the minimize button on a window in the game?

Depending on how good you are, you can do almost anything with AutoIT.

If you got troubles, just mod the windows to specific colors and scan for these.

nvm i think im getting there i translated some posts that were in German and they are helping some

i was trying to use auto it with mabi but i dont want to buy a VMware license.

if i wanted a prof bot, is it possible to change the agro setting on weak monsters in the fullpack and leave you char on auto combat?

you shouldnt need vmware to use a bot
