I wanted to make this topic to take the market temperature and see if there is some users that could be interested in purchasing either a Gather / Fishing bot, or lua scripting engine inbuilt into BDO.
This is something very experimental stage yet took me about 1 hour to get that PoC.
What is Custom Lua Loading?
The game’s interface is built on Lua. By "injecting" or loading our own scripts, we gain direct access to the game's internal API. This allows us to bypass manual menu navigation and automate complex sequences of actions bypass Mini games, auto success etc...
Key Capabilities
Custom UI & Overlays: Create your own windows to track cooldowns, marketplace prices, or silver-per-hour in real-time.
Deep API Access: We can call functions like getSelfPlayer() to retrieve exact XYZ coordinates, HP/MP levels, and weight status.
Automatic Looting: Scripts can detect when the loot window is open and instantly call functions and such, closing the window faster than any human reaction.
The Power of Automation: Gathering
The most advanced application of this tech is the creation of Gathering Bot. By combining several functions, we can create a loop that:
Pathfinding: Uses recorded XYZ coordinates to move the player between resource nodes (Trees, Rocks, Herbs).
Interaction: Automatically triggers the "Interact" key when a gatherable object is detected within range.
Inventory Management: Monitors weight and tool durability, potentially triggering a "Return to Storage" or "Repair" routine when thresholds are met.
Security: Implements checks to stop the script or auto channel swap if a player attacks or if a GM message is detected.
Why script your own?
The beauty of Lua is its flexibility. Whether you want a simple script to auto-consume food/scrolls or a fully-fledged bot to handle the "grind" while you're away, the API gives you the tools to build it.
