[Release] Grepolis 2 bot

[tymek70]

NVM

Im just stupid i had IE 6 not IE 8 :P

[Kackboon_:D]

Everything worked fine yesterday but today after 1 hour of working, it started to relog and **** and now it asks to save an index file every minute.. after that, it stops because of "too many errors"

The bot is truly awesome don't get me wrong. It worked like a charm yesterday
You can be very proud of your work.

Just please, may you help me solve this problem?

I'm on de31

IE 9 installed (altough I'm using chrome)

@tymek70
Nice, problem solved

@Kackboon_: D
Did you also run "Enable_IE9.reg"? And could you upload your debug.txt file somewhere?

[Kackboon_:D]

Oh, actually I didn't run that no^^
But I've solved the problem. The only problem left is the one where the browser just won't work... and the building queue won't work either =( But the farming and unit producing is perfect! Again, you're a genius and I really appreaciate what you're doing.

In fact, I'd instantly donate but I don't have any Paypal accounts etc..

[Utharnl]

If unit producing is working then the building queue is too
But because the unit queue is using all your resources it can't upgrade any buildings.

Also make sure you understand which building queue mode you are using (1, 2 or 3). The difference between those is explained in detail in the guide. Let me know if you have any questions about this.

If you have the time, it doesn't take long to create a paypal account

Thanks. I know it's done in no-time neither do I have a credit card, nor do i have any other possibilities of spending money online... just got 16 2 days ago^^

is there any way you can turn the reconnects on and off? because that's the only time when i get an error.. after reconnecting it asks me to download that thing everytime... what's wrong? how can I disable reconnecting?

Last thing: Will this bot work trough the night if i put the pc in sleep mode? I really hope it will go on because i hate the noise the pc makes and i can't sleep with that =(

so.. does it still work if the pc is put in sleep mode?

Is there a Chance getting banned?

[Kackboon_:D]

Of course there is. But I've been constantly botting and there's no ban atm.

also: it stops working when going into sleep mode and everytime it starts reconnecting it gets "too many errors" .... can't you just turn that off?

[Utharnl]

@Anonymus00
There is always a small risk when using this kind of programs. But the chance of actual getting banned at the moment is small.
Of course you shouldn't go telling everyone that you're using a bot, that will get you banned in no time :P

@Kackboon
Happy Birthday then
Your PC has to be turned on, it's not going to work if you put it in sleep mode.

You can't turn reconnecting off. This is needed when the bot encounters a server error. Also the reconnect is needed to reset your session to reduce the chance of getting banned.
You can however turn off the "too many errors" message. Go to the settings tab and find the Reconnect section. You will see there two settings named "Max. Reconnect".
The first one is used to turn that message on/off.

Regarding Paypal. I have no idea why everyone thinks you need a creditcard for this but it works just fine directly with your bank account. No creditcard required at all

Sorry to hear that quanhi. Too bad I still can't make it 100% safe. But good to hear you had fun while it lasted.
Hope to see you back later, maybe when Grepolis 3 is released?

[Kackboon_:D]

Update: Working now since a week without a ban. It gets quite some errors tough.

Nice work!

[Utharnl]

If you want me to take a look at the errors you can post them here.

~Uthar

[AnetteJ]

I think there are two ways to get banned;

One is to have server requests (i.e. farming, building or training) that exceed the mods definition of possible amounts of online time.

The other is to be reported. In this instance the moderator performs a manual check of your audit trail. I know that in my alliance the alliance leadership initiates random complaints about competitive players that might be breaking the rules.

[Utharnl]

Yes they are indeed looking at that. The amount of online time is already solved by the forced reconnect timer.

The manual inspection by a moderator is a bit more tricky. The things I can do about that is making the bot as human like as possible and making sure the bot acts the same as a real browser.
