Grepolis bot (Now with attack option)

Utharnl · 01/26/2010, 15:23

Hey all here's a bot for the browser game Grepolis. (From the makers of tribal wars)

About the bot
This is a freeware bot for the browsergame Grepolis. It helps you build your towns by creating an unlimited building queue. To help you gain more resources it is possible to attack the farmers on your island.
Although I do my best making this bot undetectable there could always be some problems. Use it at your own risk. But there shouldn't be much problems if you don't run it 24/7.

Summary
-Unlimited building queue
-Unlimited army queue
-Three modus for attacking farmers
-Works for all languages.
-Automatic reconnect on disconnect.
-Email notifications: Under attack.

Requirements
-

Quick start guide
Exit the Grepolis site if you have it open.
Start the bot. Make sure all files are in the same directory or sub directory as the bot. See picture below.
Click View->Settings to configure your bot. (At least your Name, Password and Server info.)
Click Actions->Login. Wait till the statusbar shows "|| Ready".
Click View->Army. Enter the number of units you want to use in battle.
(Repeat previous step for all your towns).
Click Actions->Start
Click on the "Build" buttons to add a building to the queue.
Go to View->"Army queue" to set the barrack queue and harbour queue.

Max Use all the units that are currently in your town

Note: Enter the number of units you want to train. The bot will automatic decrease the number if it can build a few units.
Note2: The army queue uses the same timer as the building queue.
Note3: Depending on your settings you can use the entered value as your final amount, meaning the bot stops if this number equals the amount ingame. Or as a counter which will decrease towards zero each time you train an unit.

Note: Shows current mood/strength of each farmer and shows if you have any units going to that farmer.

I´ll test ;-)

Works fine.
Future: Maybe we can see the state of each building, becaus atm i have to write down what i wat to build for the next hours

Utharnl · 01/26/2010, 21:23

Good to hear it works well

Will add that in the next version.
I was thinking to display it like this: Senaat(4+1)
4 is the current lvl and the +1 is from the times the building is in the ingame building queue.

HugoE · 01/26/2010, 23:42

Sounds good.
Also i think the update time 30sec is to low better i think is to set between 2 an 10 min at the settingspage.

I try to understand the source, it´s not like delphi so i have to try

erikpowa · 01/28/2010, 16:18

lol look this:

It should work fine on the english server.
Could you check your username/password and server settings?
There's probably something wrong there.

Also, there's a new version coming soon.
Variable timer is already done and building levels probably later this day.

Mine doesn't work. I am using Windows7-64bit. Do you need to run it as administrator or in any compatibility mode?

Windows 7 - x64
IE 8
FF

HugoE · 01/29/2010, 17:19

@srialmaster

no it works on win7 64bit, I play at a german server and it works fine.
You have to edit the Config-File for your server.

srialmaster · 01/30/2010, 00:22

Settings.txt:

srialmaster;
********;
en.grepolis.com;
en2.grepolis.com;
True;
debug.txt;
settings.txt;

This is my settings. I wonder if anyone is able to get this to work on the English Beta server.

-Nate

Utharnl · 01/30/2010, 00:53

hmm two reports now about problems with the English servers.
Will test that tomorrow.
Someone here that uses it on a English server without any problems?

Status next version:
Variable timer: done
Support for Greek servers: done
Building levels: work in progress

srialmaster · 01/30/2010, 01:07

What program are you using to code this?

I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 for that.

//edit
Found the login problem. For some reason the bot always wants to connect to server 1.
Will look into it.

//edit2
The server en1.grepolis.com is listed as world 2
The server en2.grepolis.com is listed as world 3
The server nl1.grepolis.com is listed as world 1
The server de1.grepolis.com is listed as world 1
The server gr1.grepolis.com is listed as world 1

My bot thinks en1 is world1 and en2 is world2.
Will change this in the next version for the English servers so that you can login.

srialmaster · 01/30/2010, 06:35

Hahaha....

Changed the en2 to en3 since you mentioned the worlds...... and it worked. If you want to use the english servers you have to do this:

If you are playing Alpha:
en2.grepolis.com

If you are playing Beta:
en3.grepolis.com

This is just a fix for now until Utharnl fixes it.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

That error: The Remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
Is probably because you're using the en3 address now.
A fix is coming soon, if you wait a day I think that problem will be fixed.
