Question about bots that use python

07/30/2023 10:57 randgui#1
Hello

I made a little bot that essentially captures the screen and sends clicks and keystrokes at certain times. I'm worried if the python script that i'm using to capture the screen can somehow be analysed and flagged by the anticheat software.

The script captures the screen to detect certain events and also responds to certain keystrokes which i press to activate or deactivate some features of the script, but mainly sends signals to an arduino which then sends the keystrokes and mouse clicks to do the actual botting.

Since you're using an arduino for the inputs youre likely fine in terms of input detection.

What should be a bigger concern is the behavior of the bot - I made a bot for BDO a while back (private, for personal use) and the AC picked up sus behavior after a few days and a GM came to check on me.

By behavior I mean interval and delays of button presses, repeated action patterns and also playtime.

In terms of your python script, it isnt impossible. The anti-cheat can very well look at suspicious processes, dump them to analyze them and then blacklist the signature of your bot in memory (thats how lostark does it now).

If you want actual advice - refrain from botting of any kind in bdo, its almost never worth it and they care ALOT. Using an arduino alone is not going to cut it.

The most important part is that you dont leave your computer. If they have even the slightest suspicion of you botting a GM will come to you and prompt you with something where you have to enter your current MP and energy etc, if you dont respond its gg for your account.

Hope this was helpful
