elitepvpers - [BOT] ### DragonCity Bot v0.06beta ### with all the Fix files and solutions to errors

This can be a long topic :) Prepare yourself.

This release contains the whole bot with all needed and updated plugins. Downloading and installing old setup files and plugins are not required and not recommended. Due to the huge amount of changes the settings are resetted to fully working defaults. Please check them to match your preferences.
Until now, the GameInfo is the only one visually overhauled - the other tabs/hooks will follow at future releases.

Release Notes:

New installer made with Setup Factory 9
Bot has now DragonCity fire egg as icon (as used for the official logo)
[FIX] after minimizing to tray and reopening you can now switch tabs/hooks
[FIX] grow food interval set to "0" works again (food gain hack) - you no longer need grow food interval of 30s or above
curl errors (like timeouts) are now processed and shown in the log
all fixes released for this bot and its plugins are included

Updated Plugin: City v1.2
Combining similar requests to a single multi-request (all farms and habitats are each processed with one single request). Therefore reducing the number of requests sent to the server - thus minimizing the risk of running into beeing temporarily blocked.
Optimized delays between requests, thus minimizing the risk of running into beeing temporarily blocked.
Crystals and dragons not in habitat (breeding/training) are considered when calculating the gold to collect. Therefor less (technically none) bad revenue errors.
The last request will be retried, if a bad command number error occurs.
combined "grow farms" and "harvest farms" options to a single "grow and harvest farms" option
added the option to show/hide more details in the log panel (will show all food farm types and all habitat types like the old bot did)

Updated Plugin: GameInfo v0.3 (overhauled)
added images of new dragons
optimized code for a more reliable layout

Important hints:

I recognized that the bot works most reliable if the dealay between each request in the log is at least about 3-4s. Otherwise you may run into your account being temporarily blocked by Social Point (bot does not collect anything and when you try to play the game it tells you "an unexpected error has occured").
So if you recognize that the delay between two harvests (Harvest farm started") is sometimes lower than 3s, try to increase the "food interval" accordingly. (Maybe I'll add an auto-delay with the next release.)

Fixes For Possible Problems (Cannot Load Game Params etc.)

Fix 1:

Make sure you have installed the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player and Java.

Fix 2:

Make sure you have installed the latest version of Internet Explorer on your pc, it is essential for the bot because the bot opens DragonCity with it.

Fix 3:

Run your bot always as administrator.

Fix 4:

Turn off the secure browsing in your facebook account settings.

Fix 5:

Set remember login when you log into your facebook account in the bot.

Fix 6:

1. Rightclick your bot .exe
2. Click on properties
3. Change the compability of your .exe for example to: Windows XP (Service Pack 2) that works the best for me.

Fix 7:

1. Go to the folder of your bot
2. Look for options then you open it and look for iParamsLoadTimeoutSec=
3. Set it to 15-20 seconds, if the bot cannot load the game params it trys it again in 15-20 seconds
4. Save those settings

For me it worked well because the bot trys to load it again in a short time and not in 1400 seconds or something like the default option.

Here is my example of the options, hope it helps you:

version=0.05beta
sLoadUrl=http://apps.facebook.com/dragoncity
TrayMsg=1
iRestartTimeSec=1
LogPanelWidth=440
sRestPage=about:blank
iParamsLoadTimeoutSec=20
iShowApiInLog=0
iProxyUse=0
sProxyUser=
sProxyHost=127.0.0.1
sProxyPass=
iProxyPort=8888
Time2Log=1
sTimeZone=Europe/Berlin
language=en
AcceptGifts=0

Fix 8:

Click on Facebook in the top left corner and wait for the news to be load and after that you start DragonCity again in your list on the left.

Fix 9:

When you start the bot click (Switch Off Bot), then (Start), log into facebook and finally when DragonCity loads click (Switch On Bot).

Fix 10:

Click (Switch Off Bot) and then start DragonCity in Internet Explorer and then log into the bot and then click (Switch On Bot).

If you followed all those fixes your bot could work again.
If you found another fix, post it in this thread i'll add it then.
If you still have problems to start the bot i can't help you.
