Anyone willing to make a crafting program?

02/23/2015 23:15 psycaru#1

Hello,

I see we have a few people here that work on programs. I was wondering if anyone is willing to make a crafting bot for everyone? I have been looking for a decent one and a free one for awhile now and have not had any luck. What I am looking for I think would be basic and easy but I really do not know how to program so I could be really wrong LoL.

If anyone is willing to take on this task, let me know and I will explain more of what I am looking for in a program.

:handsdown:

Crafting is heavily gear-dependent, just use a keyboard macro to repeat macros... you don't have to move anywhere anyhow.

well lucid that is basically what I am looking for....

Would like to be able to make a macro in text files. Be able to load the text file and have the program select what I want to craft then click on the "syth" button then have it run my macro. And I would like to be able to tell it to loop it X amount of times.

Would be nice to be able to check gear condition so you can make it auto repair it if need be and have it kinda pause while I am talking in FC/Chat would be nice also.

I would try to make this myself but I do not know enough about programming and do not know where to start, part of the reason I sent you a PM. Also I have tried different programs like autohotkey but cant seem to get it to work correctly.

Start by making it press one button, work your way up.

I have seen that and tried, for some reason it seems like it can not find the window 1/2 the time. But thanks for the link. Do you happen to have a link a tutorial on how to find the ffxiv window and send keys with it being in the background? It can be any programming language as I do not mind reading and trying to learn myself.

I just want something to use when I am mass producing 500+ crafting items that I would like to HQ all and for when I need to mass produce 1 star items like "spruce lumber" thanks

You should get familiar with searching the Internet; a simple search with some of those keywords answers the question. Google for "autoit send keys background" returns: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Every result mentions ControlSend. Here's a ControlSend example from my old 1.0 craft bot:

Code:

Func PressKey($keyName)
	ControlSend($winHandle, "", "", "{" & $keyName & " down}")
	sleep($waitKeydown)
	ControlSend($winHandle, "", "", "{" & $keyName & " up}")
	sleep($waitPostKeypress)
EndFunc

There are lots of other examples in the results of the search I linked above, even some on ePVPers.

(AutoIT and AHK are similar; you could modify the search if that one doesn't work for AHK)

lucid, there is no need to get rude.

I said programming language and meant it as in C++, C#, etc. Not a scripting programming like autoit.
But yes, I have been looking on Google I have found a few things but I am looking for more.

Not being rude; posting to a forum is much slower than performing a search, particularly when your post consists of the right search keywords (no vocabulary gap). If you're learning to program you have lots of those question/answer cycles. You also specifically mentioned AHK which is why that's what the example was posted in.

Anyhow, sounds like you've got it under control so I'll exit the thread. gl
