Skylab bot as browser extension

megaQuark · 05/23/2011, 09:23

Hey,

Normally, most bots run as standalone applications. Since DO is a web game,
I am planning to build a skylab bot as a browser extension (chrome and firefox).

You will just need to go to your skylab page on your browser and set the resources, the bot (installed as extension) will take care of the rest. It's not a Pixel bot, and nor does it use packets, it simply submits the skylab page normally without you even knowing it.

I would like some feedback regarding this idea. Would a browser extension really help?

Currently, I am developing this as a Google Chrome extension, and if it works well, will also port it to Firefox.

All comments appreciated

Update: [credits to babes_nea for pointing out]

When the bot takes actions, it will have absolutely no effect on your browsing.
The skylab tab will simply refresh separately, without you even noticing it.

will you still be able to have full control over the browser when the bot takes actions or you will not be able to gain access until bot finishes its task?

You will absolutely have full control!

All you need to do is have the Skylab page open in a tab.

As I mentioned, It is not a pixel bot, after the required time is completed, it will simply submit the skylab data, causing no effect on you browsing.

The tab with the skylab page will simply refresh, and it will not at all disturb your normal flow.

Sorry but i fail to see how this will sell resources so more can be sent all your talking about is an auto enter and then submit/refresh i can do that myself but when it comes to loading the flash page and selling how are you planning to do that? Because so far all i can see is an error popping up saying "Not enough cargo space"

Serraniel · 05/23/2011, 19:37
