[Release] Grepolis 2 bot

[Syriochan]

Uthar, can i give you an advice regarding the next version? i'd like to have a refresh button on the browser page, i don't know if the problem is only mine but sometimes the bot doesn't refresh the pages till you personally (so not in the building queue) update a building or train a warrior.

@Syriochan
You can refresh the browser by pressing F5. First click inside the browser so that the browser has the focus.

i have tested around the relogin option. very wise to put an large random margin to avoid bann. a piece of art

i am also playing a bit with the building queue and the troops queue . it would be interesting if the bot would be able to do them both. as till now it seems the bot is building if buildings in queue and doesn't do nothing with the troops queue.

how about adding an option to decide the percentage of the resources we allocate for building queue and what percentage to the troops queue so that the bot acts on the both directions

@pietrosu
At the moment it works like this:
The bot will first always check the buildingqueue. When the queue is disabled, empty or full it will check the army queue. Also when you have not enough resources for a building it will check if you have enough resources to train some units.

Unfortunate you can't divide the resources. For example take 50%. Assume after a while the warehouse is 50% full, then both the army queue and the building queue will think that it's his 50% that is available
But like I explained above, with the current version of the bot, the army queue will be used when the bot can't add anything in the building queue.

As of 22/05/11, this error still persists in version 1.1.5.0

Exception in m_HttpHandler_UploadValuesCompleted(): The request was aborted: The request was canceled.
Connection to server lost. Starting reconnect...

Windows 7 64 bit and Microsoft .Net framework 3.5 and 4 installed.

Anyway of getting a more detailed debugger as this error is very annoying and I want to try and help rectify it.

One thing I didn't see in the todo list and I think worth correcting:
The order of the cities in the city list is somehow random, and the order changes sometimes. It would be better to have the cities alphabetically.

[pcosmin]

I even tried to re-order the cities in towns.xml: doesn't work.

@Geosphinx
Already started with adding some more debug info in 1.1.6 will check if I can add some useful debug info for that error too.

@pcosmin
Thanks for remembering me, it was already suggested but forgot to add it.

Some bugscouting from my game experience: The browser works... but it has some bugs like the reports, sometimes i have to restart the bot cause i can't see them, and now i can't save the ingame settings cause the "click" on save produces no effect, i can't publish my attack reports (click produces no effect) don't know why lol... whatever these are minor bugs i can still do this with firefox...

hello,
first of all a little feedback:
its a well programmed bot and utharnl is doing a great job here.

I am using this for some days now, on a fake account because i dont want to lose my gold.
by the way, is this bot detectable/anyone got banned for using this?
thanks

[Utharnl]

@Syriochan
Did you install the latest version of IE and clicked on Enable_IE9.reg? This will greatly improve the browser.

@wbjunky
So far nobody is banned and it looks like it's not detectable.

~Uthar

[Syriochan]

Yes i did!

[Utharnl]

@Syriochan
Then there are no other ways to further improve the browser. You'll have to wait till the compatibility between the .NET browser and Grepolis gets better.

[Syriochan]

Ok, thanks

as feedback, the reconnect time is 20min not the value u set at the settings!

and could u put a resource checker somewhere, cause the browser is always messed up with those resource values... always wrong...

thx anyway, nice job!
