How do bonus box bots work?

How to bots know where the coordinates of bonus boxes are? i need this information for a pass-time project im working on. I have some experience with programming and computers in general. So please explain it in the simplest way you can.

well.... the bots that are working now dont know where is the boxes they search it in the screen (pixel bot)....

so they are basic a image recognition program? if they see a box on screen they collect it? iv tried that with python, it doesnt seem to work.

There are many ways, the simpliest is with autoit, the function pixelSearch() give you an array with the x and y coordinates of the pixel color you sent throught parameters.

Other one is to make an screenshot and navigate throught the pixel of that image searching for another pattern (or image) and find the position of that match.

iv tried that with python, i get a pixle from the bonus box and i tryied to search for that pixel throught multiple images, it failed on me all the time

also is there a autoit alternative for linux?

Use C++ and search for native pixelsearch on linux.

If find Boxes = false then searchdrive true
Find boxes then go to it


Something like this :)

-GP

TCP
Internet explorer api
Pixelsearch

is there any way to analize flash programs to get information?

You can recompile the flash files with a hook displaying whether a bbox has appeared and hopefully where it is, but gosh, this would be nearly impossible to do. Pixel bots are the way to go.

There are two types of bots, pixel and packet.

Packet bots used be very very big, running the client on their own. The packet bots use their program to intercept the server's information to load onto their own program. From their, they're able to control the "avatar" on Dark Orbit using their own program. This is far the best but also the hardest to program and upkeep as for every single update Dark Orbit does, it requires the programmer to upload new packets into them.

Pixel bots are something I don't understand much but they're a program that recognizes bonus boxes and collects them. The program detects the "clickable" areas and moves the mouse to click on them. Simple but very, very risky as for the programs they use are very obvious.

Pixelbots are not very risky at all, they scan the pixels on the screen and recognize patterns, out of wich they deduce there is a box, then generate random screen coordinates around it and click on it with the mouse(or any other way). Pixelbots work much more similar to how a player plays the game so the ban risk is fairly lower than backetbots, also because bp hasn't made good anti-pixel scripts.

I absolutely agree. With just a simple precaution from the developer a pixel bot can be made 100% undetected forever.

100% I don't think so, cause ever little seconds(ms) that the bot wait between the moving to coordinate and if find bonusbox stops, can be used against you. A human can't stops everytime at the same not seconds but maybe milliseconds.

I would say:
Pixelbots :
-> Lower detectable
-> If you don't use trapdoor, not background
Packet Bots:
-> BP just need to put a script, and you are banned
-> It works in background.

I also make use of random timings before each click. So it is very near to 100%.

I have backround without trapdoor ;).
