Sorry das es nicht in Deutsch ist. :(
Edit: Wenn ihr es auf Deutsch wollt, bitte sendet mir eine PM, dann werd ich es versuchen so gut wie möglich auf Deutsch zu übersätzen und hier zu posten. Wenn ihr eine frage habt, konnt ihr mich ja auch immer daruber kontaktieren, dan werd ich probieren so gut wie moglich zu antworten. :)


MrArgus
MrArgus.exe --- A bot to auto-warp you to NM pop's.
This program is very easy to use, and actually exists of two programs. The first program is called NPC.exe, and the second one, the real bot, is called MrArgus.
Here is explainations with pictures of the programs:
NPC
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
This program is to see which "NPC" you can/want to warp to.
You simply press the Start button, and everything targetable except players will appear in a list. This picture shows me using it on an airship. On the left side are the ID numbers of the NPC's. You can also warp to door's and so on. Also, dead mob's will also appear in the list! If you get near a NM area, and it's dead, it will appear with 0% in the list! Same for Garrison mob's, etc. etc. Also something I noticed, is that some Cutscene NPC's such as Eshant'Arl, the Archduke in the Audience Chamber in Ru'Lude Gardens appear as well! Anyway, you note down or copy the ID, and put it into the next program..

MrArgusGUI.exe
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...][Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
This program is what allows you to actually warp to it!

Instructions:
When you have the ID number of a NPC you want to warp to, you put it in the program, click on the "Add" button and it appears in the list which you can see in the second picture. Then you make sure the "Freq", "Rise" and "Wait" are set to the numbers as in the picture. Why? I don't know to be honest. But it's probably good. Then you Enable the "Warp On" option, and click on "Start". Make sure you're not getting blocked by any high walls and stuff. Now just wait till it pops. ^^ If you haven't turned NPC.exe off, it will appear on there with 100% at the bottom when it(the NPC/NM) does pop.

Button's List:
Start - Starts the program.
Stop - Stop's it. Can simply press the X button or Alt+F4 as well.
Add - Add's new NPC in the list after a new ID + Name have been entered.
Del - Delete the currently selected NPC from the list.
Repeat On - I'm not sure, I think it pop's you on top of the NPC over and over once it pops, probably good against wall's, sometimes you automatically jump over the wall when you warp multiple times.
Warp On - If enabled, warps you to on top of the NPC once it pops, when the program is Started.
To Mob - Instantly warps you to the selected NPC when near, no matter if it's dead or not. When it's dead, it warps you to the spot where it last died.
Draw Near - This function is a bit weird, but if the selected NPC is alive/popped, then it draws it near you, you can even target it, but not attack. So it looks like as if it's standing infront of you. Funny but weird.
Macro, Alt, Ctrl and 0-9 numbers list This allows you to set the program to automatically use one of your macro's when being warped to the NPC. Note: Sometimes, the popped NPC does not appear in your Target, so any macros like /ma "Dia" <t> won't have any effect. Also notice that if you attack the NPC too fast, you won't be able to do anything at all for a certain amount of time. This is done by Square-Enix do prevend botting. Usually you're not that fast though :p.

Note 1: If you're not invisible when being warped to a NPC, other players will see, and nothing more, that you suddenly appear in the air on top of the NPC.
Note 2: Don't get confused by when I say NPC/NM, i basically mean any kind of NPC, character, mob or NM etc.

Things you can do with this program
- Auto-warping on top of NM's as soon as they pop. Mainly.
- Find Treasure Chest's and other things in NPC.exe, and instantly warp to it.
- When searching for any NPC, you can easily find them with NPC.exe and use it with MrArgus.exe, such as warping to quest-NPC and stuff.
- Get free airship rides :P. Simply warp to the NPC behind the door at the docks, the one that tells you how long to wait before airship arrives.
- Get into area's you normally can't go and walk freely in.

Here's a picture of me in the Audience Chamber. I found Door: Audience Chamber in NPC.exe, while standing infront of the door i used it and popped on top of the door, then i simply could walk through the wall over the door and fall into the audience chamber.

Sorry for all the black spaces ><.

Very nice post.

To clear some things up, I belive the Frequency is how many milliseconds the bot takes between scans for the mob.
Fo instance at 30, Mrargus looks for the mobs every 30 milliseconds. Repeat is a setting to make it so you dont have to click start again once the mob pops if you want to hunt it again. If you are hunting spook, and that is not clicked, once spook pops the bot does its buisiness and then turns off (the porgram is still up, but not running) If you click "repeat" it will automaticaly begin looking for the next spook after the first one and so on. If you were very lazy and had your claim macro followed by a wait and and attack in the same macro you could theoreticaly hunt the same mob continually while afk. The rise is you high you fly to the mob if you are warping, you need this to clear obstacles. The wait is how long the bot waits after the mob pops to use the macro. This is to hopefully work around the claim delay SE put in. Set at 2000, Mrargus waits two seconds before trying to claim a newly poped mob.
At spook i find that sometimes 2000 gets inturupted and sometimes it doesn't. The claim delay is variable from what i can tell. At 2700 you will never be inturupted but you might be to slow and lose claim. At 1900 you will never be too slow but you will be often interupted. I tend to set it to match my competition. With very good competiion i try and set it faster, at 2100sih. If im around slow claimers i will set it to 2300+ to avoid any chance of inturupt.

Thanks for that addition :)

#pinned, nice one

Wooo cool i feel honoured :)

yeah, may i not recommend going afk while using this. The other night I put my thing to spook and went there. It seems that for 12 hours straight I claimed every spook that popped, but my macro didnt attack them. I have no clue why. But yeah, I am banned for 92 hours....I got some pictures of the GM jail (mordian gaol) I could post them if you want.

What delay were you running to claim them so well? I cant pick any single delay that gives consistant results.
02/25/2006 17:48 trashkan#9
i have heared from a forum that delay on mrargus its diffrent for give best resultt and when i mean diffrent it depends of mob, your computer, what country you live and what connection you have!

so the best way to know the perfect delay is to test u to it..

like when i camp ghost i have 800 delay and for some ppl they cant have that low because it will be automatic failed.. i think thats why i live in sweden and that hell of a way from japan ffxi servers..

so what i mean u ppl shouldnt ask for what ppl have their delay on because it "didnt work for you" or whatever the reason is,,,

i mean their wouldnt be a delay thing if there wasnt random for diffrent persons.

Yes i agree. I think the true delay in allowable claiming is done at the server. o the server pops the mob and accepts claims maybe 4 seconds later. So if you are a full second away from the servers, by ping time, you will "see" a 2 second anti-claim window. If you live in Japan you will need to delay 3+seconds.

OK, I am running my mrargus at 2000 wait. It seems to be the perfect timer. And as for the ScreenShots, I have no clue how to put pictures up. I tried for like an hour, I'm just too dumb. So if you wanna help me get some up or just want them emailed tell me at [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

I dont really understand what "claiming" is, can someone say it loud and clear for me? thanks :rolleyes:
02/27/2006 18:58 trashkan#14
Claim = /target
02/28/2006 08:25 Kusarigama#15
and what's exactly the point of claiming? Is it designed as the first step of botting, or is there another purpose?
