[Release] Grepolis 2 bot

[Tecca]

Kann keine Truppen mehr Bauen

If links and/or buttons aren't working in the browser you can press F5 to reload the page. After that it works most of the time. This is a known issue of the browser but I haven't found a working solution for this yet.

Hello Uthar ,i have many reconnects since the new version ,und i have patched your version from the bot ,and cleared internet explorer cache and so on
Screen from my debug.txt


my browser: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/6.0)

The text file(s) containing the error should be saved in the Response folder. Do they look like this?

{"json":{"redirect":"http:\/\/en.grepolis.com\/start"},"_srvtime":1350844546}

If yes, then the reconnect is caused by the Grepolis server. For some reason they are restarting the servers a couple of times after the patch. This also happened on another German server (that received the update last week). The restarts stopped after 1-2 days.
I'll probably improve the detection of restarts in the next version so that it no longer generates messages in the debug.txt file.

The unit and buidling queue seem not to work anymore. The farming feature and starting cultural events still work as usual. Do you need the logfile or debug.txt for checking?

[Edit]
Just checked the debug.txt, there are a lot of these "Ingame error in attackFarmers2Response(): Ungültiger Zeitwert ( 10800)" errors

 Spoiler

02.06.2013 13:22:57 Ingame error in attackFarmers2Response(): Ungültiger Zeitwert ( 10800)
02.06.2013 13:23:51 Exception in m_HttpHandler_DownloadStringCompleted(): (checkspy#0) Die Verbindung mit dem Remoteserver kann nicht hergestellt werden.

[Edit 2]
02.06.2013 22:17:23 ***: sword(28) added to the ingame queue.
02.06.2013 22:17:23 ***: Nothing to build.
02.06.2013 22:17:23 ***: No farmers available at the moment.
02.06.2013 22:16:41 ***: Successfull looted/demanded resources from farmer ***

02.06.2013 22:16:07 ***: bireme(3) added to the ingame queue.

Without having changed anything, the unit queue is working again. Building queue not yet checked, but I assume it does work too.

Hello everyone.

The bot is fantastic, the only thing that I would like to be improved is the browser. It is almost impossible to use as soon as you do something it become unusable. If I understand correctly, it use Explorer to work. You could not make it work with Google Chrome?

And an other question... you couldn't release any translations or editable files so we can manually translate the program?

P.S. Sorry for my bad english, i'm not english D:

[Hellymutus]

Still getting these errors, do they mean anything bad?
"Ingame error in attackFarmers2Response(): Ungültiger Zeitwert ( 10800)"

If you really plan to translate the bot I could translate it to german (although I do not believe this is needed).

Would it be possible for you to add an option either to define the max size of the logfile or to enable/disable it? After some time the logfiles grow quite big.

@Hellymutus
Errors like "02.06.2013 13:22:57 Ingame error in attackFarmers2Response(): Ungültiger Zeitwert ( 10800)" mean that some of your towns use an invalid farmer interval. This happens when you are missing an academy research. When this error occurs the town is skipped and thus the unit/building queue.

//edit
You can delete the log file once in a while. I don't think it's a good idea to disable the log because it makes it very difficult to track errors.

@.::Carlo::.
I don't have plans at the moment to make translations. The browser does indeed use Internet Explorer, although there are some alternatives it's not each to replace the browser. Also the other browsers have there own issues. I have therefore no plans to replace the browser.

[gogolus3000]

realy nice bot thank you

[tompage]

hi what can i do if a chaptcha comes?

[Tecca]

Hat jmd eine ahnung warum bei mir der Browser bei mir nix anzeigt?

[Utharnl]

@tompage
If your donator status is active you can use the captcha solver. A detailed guide can be found here:

If the status is inactive the bot will pause the bot when a captcha is detected and you can solve it yourself.

@Tecca
That is caused by the cache. Close the bot, clear your internet cache and start the bot again. That will fix it.

Sorry the same Prob. as Tecca.
Clear the Internet cache will not fix the Problem.
2 Days ago the Server logt. all out for Refresh or so.

[Honkiton]

@Utharnl i have cleared the internet cache but i have still the same problems like tecca.
