[Discussion]AutoFarmer

[168Atomica]

This is my first post in this section so @Acid, please move to other section as you see fit.

I will share my experience with automation because I want to educate people that it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE to create a farming bot for your own use.

All you need is the will to learn.

AutoIt

Warning: Slight rant here.

Numerous thread has been started and abandoned and pinned that discusses hacks, memory management, C++, etc. But why do people still ask for cheats until this time?

Because we all want instant results from the very little time we spent learning. And we abandon learning as soon as we hear new stuff.

I spent a week to understand AutoIt. For others it is slow. For others it is fast. But this is me. And I found AutoIt to be very friendly to people who are new in programming. In addition to the fact that it is the only automation language I could learn on my spare time. (Yes I work 9-5)

Now back to AutoIt
What I did is practice , practice, and practice.
Add a little knowledge everyday.
Repeat.

Once you understood how basic things work - reading pixel colors, moving mouse, sending keyboard strokes, among other basic things, you could literally automate many things in game.

Now, I already have my own
- farming bot with autoloot, autoheal (this one has specific trigger like using BM, aura, counting mob killed, etc.)
- crafting bot for crafting in large quantity
- tool to sending and retrieving items from mail and deleting them (useful for sending stuffs accross different accounts)
- combo
- auto whisper, auto chat
- and my BIGGEST project so far, dungeon autofarmer where I start the bot and leave the it running to farm the dungeon.
- Boss selector on dungeons

With these Little tools, I can generally free myself from playing. Can leave the screen, watch tv, eat, all while AutoIt do tedious things that are time consuming.

special thanks to bartbilf who gave me insights on many things in cabal

Basically you need only the following Autoit knowledge in your arsenal:
- calling functions
- control flow
- comparing values
- conditions
- variables
- watching pixel color
- moving mouse
- sending keyboard strokes

If you are interested, you could post your problem here (not how to learn AutoIt but some solution-based discussions)
Example:
How would I know if it is the right time to press the heal pots
What trigger can I use to know that crafting is already finish and I need to request another?

Happy Learning!

Honestly, This is a brilliant idea to learn a programming language (AutoIt) for 64-bit platform

Anyway congrats bro !

I did this for Mystery Cabal when it was unprotected using Nomadmemory.
This got me loads of crafting material and a few billions of alz ;-)

It's quite a lot of work to put all the puzzle parts together but in the end this has been much more fun than farming all by hand.

only problem, it only works on selected platforms

Not that lot of work. You see I learned to put it together on my spare time after work. The key is consistency. I spent a total of 20 hrs of pure trial and error using only the knowledge above to construct a working bot.
(Divide that time to 30 minutes, and after 40 days, you have a working bot. or 1 hr everyday to have it working in 20 days)

And you are right. Autofarming dungeons are so rewarding you dont have to bot on public places to earn billions of alz. Not to mention the constant attack of boredom, wasting time by spamming dungeon runs, etc. (Imagine making 100 dungeon runs in a day without even getting tired)

Yes. This works mostly on 64bit platform. BUT. It doesnt mean that you cant run 64bit virtual pc on 32 bit host

The truth is - I am using a Mac. I run this on virtual pc.

brilliant idea sir thanks.

does autoit uses lua?

[majead123]

mine is working fine but i dont know how to made with this - Boss selector on dungeons >.<

[dark23650431]

No idea how to use it

[168Atomica]

offtopic. but hey, you could extend autoit to use lua

pm me and i will give you a hint

[macklein]

give me the link of auto it please

The name of the targeted monster (HP bar on top of the screen) can be easily found. In your script you can check this and repeat the "select next mob" feature until you have the right mob in focus. This is not very elegant but effective.

Wahahhahahah lollol made my day XD let me google it for you.....

And get enemy HP addr to make sure you always finish a mob before you switch, easy peasy But I still want a mob entity list ;<

**** perfectionism.. The good old Cabalrider was quite far in this point. I think the *** who did this was sleeping with all cabal datastructures under his cushion...

With a mob entity list i could imagine quite some nice ideas.
Like in IC2 while protecting (miss) Volfid keep attacking all the Lightnings for about 3 hrs :-)
