[Release] Deckard Coin Auction House Bot

[Sidelancer]

edit: nvm, found my problem.

[Tomed]

Hey Tomed dunno if I should email about this but I'll just ask here. I just set up my config file and ran the bot in test. The issue I'm having is that it is it only puts it 2/3 names of the stats I'm searching for half the time, and 1/3 stat names the other half. The values and everything else (item type, name, etc) are correct, but for example it searches for None/Dex/All Res instead of the assigned Vit/Dex/AllRes. Is this an error in my xml code? Thanks!

It could be that you just need to increase delays as the bot is heavily dependent on the D3 client running at 60+ FPS.

edit: I'm a giant noob. Again. Wrote "chest" instead of chestarmor. Works like a charm now.

[MonsterMMORPG]

Could be. Email me or PM me the snippet of xml code that it's tripping up on. It could be that you just need to increase delays as the bot is heavily dependent on the D3 client running at 60+ FPS.

please release one another version too which makes searches via memory editing not client based mouse clicking :d

So do you guys just run these 24/7 until you get banned? Or shut it off every once in a while so it's not so obvious? Is there a difference?

Hum...Really anxious about whether this will be banned or not...Currently use gold bot may be safe for me almost 20hr per day. But run this...Hum...still waiting.

Tomed, Could you share your experience that how long you run this bot for one day? And how many days have you run before?

[dra1985]

As far as "the better way" goes as to programming one. I just finally got mine to work with the new way, testing input limit atm...

Lately it's been very sporadic because I'm spending most of my time testing new features/fixing bugs and don't have time to bot/sell items. Right now I've been botting for about an hour at 500-1000ms search intervals with 20ms click delay and haven't received any input delay errors. 8 items have been found so far from my item config and I've had 0 "bad" buyouts.

I've only just got this bot fully working about 5 days ago so and I haven't been banned for using it yet but that doesn't mean that I won't. I may have just missed the previous banwave and will get hit by the next one. If you are going to bot Diablo 3 with ANY bot I always recommend using a second account.

The truth is, no one but Blizzard knows the exact parameters that result in you getting banned for AH botting so no one can really say that any bot is 100% safe. We can make some assumptions, however, like that spamming the AH every 200ms will most likely result in your account getting flagged. My bot gives you the tools to slow it down as much as you want, it's up to you how much speed you want to sacrifice for account safety.

[Sidelancer]

Are the default speed settings "safe" (relatively speaking of course) ? I assume by 200s you mean the actual search speed (which is set to 1000-2000 on default).

[dra1985]

The bans were handed out due to the amount of searches on an account. People that didn't bot 24/7 full bore were able to get their accounts reactivated. Other players over x amount of searches (inhumanly possible) were told to gtfo.

I made a ticket and their reply was "There is no way you stayed up for 3 days straight and maintained 4000+ actions per minute"
That was their response to my 3rd ticket, first two were automated.

Bans were handed out based on queries, faster the bot = more queries = more bans.
Random anything doesn't matter, people (myself included) had everything randomized.

Sample:

Loop 
{
Random, x0, 186, 192 ; Random X start drag
Random, y0, 447, 457  ;Random Y start drag
Random, x01, 229, 231 ; Random X end drag
Random, y01, 447, 455 ; Random Y end drag 
Random, x1, 106, 220  ;Random Range X for Search
Random, y1, 487, 500  ;Random Range Y for Search 
Random, x2, 264, 738 ; Random Range X for Item Select
Random, y2, 197, 217 ; Random Range Y for Item Select
Random, x3, 618, 734 ; Random Range X for Buyout
Random, y3, 507, 525 ; Random Range Y for Buyout
Random, x4, 294, 392 ; Random Range X for Buyout Confirm
Random, y4, 417, 439 ; Random Range Y for Buyout Confirm
Random, x5, 356, 454 ; Random Range X for OK
Random, y5, 273, 297 ; Random Range Y for OK
Random, s1, 300, 350 ; Random Sleep Time

People with 3.5 seconds+ per search (from what I have seen so far) have been safe, a normal person can do it in about 1 second.

This bot is a cool concept, but if you abuse the piss out of search frequency, you WILL be banned.

Edit: I don't know if it even matters anymore, with input limit, that may be how they "fix" it.

The default delay values I provide are optimized so that the bot has a fairly good chance of working on most computers. Due to the nature of how it selects stats, the bot's performance is heavily dependent upon system performance. For example the bot will scroll down the list of attributes very quickly if your click delay is, say, 20ms. If your D3 client is not running fast enough it will miss a scroll and select the wrong stat. To truly get the fastest speeds your client should be running at 100+ FPS at all times and you should have fairly low latency to the server so that queries get returned quickly.

I will never make any claim that the default values, or any values for that matter, are "safe" to use nor will they prevent you from getting banned.

[jamesholt]

Does this bot provide a way to extract a certain set of info I need from the AH?

ie: I want to see bid and buyout prices of all 1h with strength, crit dmg, loh, chance to immo and vitality. Can this bot deliver reporting like this?

Yeah I realize that. When I say safe, I mean in comparison to the search speed that MOST of the people who are getting banned are using.

No it does not read any item stats from memory though this is definitely something I'd like to do in the future.

I don't have enough data from other players to ascertain whether or not the default values of my bot are more or less safe.
