![[Release] Simple Auction Helper](https://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/iconimages/darkorbit/release-simple-auction-helper_ltr.gif){kind=small}
As already mentioned in a seperate thread I want to share my little auction helper with you. It is kept very simple because it was never meant to be public. The program uses http requests so it is highly limited in speed. That's why I couldn't implement any features like the reaction on current bets.

Features:
The program helps you with placing bets at the auction.
You can simply set the items and the amount of credits you are ready to spend on each.
The adventurous can also change the time between each bet for the optimal speed.
Randomised timings for extra safety.
_____________________________________
Settings:
Open the Java Archive(.jar) with WinRar(or similar) and navigate to the resource directory. Copy and Paste the xml file anywhere outside the jar file. Now you can edit it with any editor you like and set your username, password, server, time between bets, timeout(*) and of course all items.
_____________________________________
How to run:
The program is written in Java. The Java Archive(.jar) in the attachment is a runnable Java Archive. You can run it by using a Java Runtime Environment(JRE). Because Java releases them for every operating system(OS) the attached .jar can be run on every OS - given that you have the JRE.
You can run it by rightclicking it --> open with --> Java(TM) platform SE binary (it's called like that in windows - for more information depending your OS google "how to run jar files in [your OS]")
You now have two options. Either "Run" it or "stop" it. First will start the bidding process and last will stop it (not closing the window).
If you want some more "graphical" feedback you have the option to open the program in the command shell(second screenshot). For windows press "Win+R", type in "cmd" and confirm with "Enter" or by pressing "OK".
Now you have to navigate to your directory in which the jar file is stored. You can do that with the command "cd" followed by the directory path. If you are unsafe type in "dir" and comfirm with "Enter". You now see all directories and files in the working directory. This way you can go on step by step.
Example:
For running it type in the following command
PHP Code:
java -jar DOBidder.jar

"FAQ":
- Can I delete the items from the xml file that I won't bet on?
Yes! But you need to change the value "amount" to the number of items that are listed. - Is the order of the IDs important?
No! I don't know why I included them. Maybe for aesthetic. - How do I know that I got captchas?
By stopping the tool and looking manual. I haven't included such a feature. If you got captchas increase the delay. - The cmd shell is saying "Bid order sent". Does it mean I got no captcha?
No! The program is just sending bidding orders. It does not check if they are succesful. - Which amount of credits does the program bet?
The amount you set in the xml file. The program doesn't check how high the current bid is. That would take to long.
*it should be irrelevant. If you get error messages, it may help increasing this value.
Changelog:
(not possible to attache .jar files)
