[AH Bot] HappyAuction

[Eternal23]

Is there any equivalent of math.Random() in these scripts? If not, how can I import that? I want to be able to tell my script to log out for a random delay before logging back in and resuming, so it looks like I'm just checking the market, logging out for a while, and then coming back to check again. I know haSleep(x, y) has to be using a random, so how do i get access to that?

What seems to be the best haSleep() time for you guys? Tried several dunno which one is most effective.

1. haSleep()
2. haSleep(1,2000)
3. haSleep(1000,3000)

Using the 1st gives you a lot of hits, but also reaches the input limit faster, with the 3rd you won't hit the input limit near as often. Need some opinions on this :-)

with haSleep(1000,3000) some input errors, though not often.
with haSleep(1000,4000) no input errors. Just once in a week because it is random.

k ill check it out. i didnt have much time to fully test the new stuff either... like i dont have a second account to get someone to bid my stuff so starting/current bid may be swapped.

doichin when you say it tries to click it, does it click in the right spot (you can tell if you focused on window to start bot). does it get stuck at the first error message or somewhere else?

also im definitely not accepting donations now after hearing about that blitzkrieg guy getting sued. so far im under severely layers of anonymity and keeping it that way... thx though!

Thats a very very good idea man!

Btw i had 4/6 accs banned last week, anyone else getting banned atm? I put the bot time down from 20h / day to 16h/day, other acc not banned

all/all with last week ban wave

It looks like haSellIterate() with haItem() is slightly broken - any item after the fifth (where it begins to scroll) returns wrong values, other than their name!

buyout, cbid and sbid are exactly like the fifth item, rtime and xtime are slightly different to the fifth (I think it's minus what it takes HA to scroll down), the ID is the same again.

Would be great if you could fix this. Thanks!

Edit: also, "Maximum Discipline" (on the item) or "Max Discipline" (what it's called as filter) looks like it can't be filtered on 1h DH xbows. That, or I don't know what to enter there. Minor thing of course :-) strangely, haItem.stats are often not the same as haFilterStat needs them to be. For now I just wrote a simple mapper, but having them being mapped internally (possibly even through different languages) would help things ;-) again, something minor. Thank you!

Another edit: I tried to quick-and-dirty fix the iteration problem (used AH_SELL_VISIBLE_LIMIT - 1; only on coord instead of ReadSellItem/ReadHoverItem) and that seemed to fix the problem in the LogSelling-example, but it didn't work entirely:
haItem() returned wrong values, when haSellCancel was previously used within the same haSellIterate(). Or at least that's my understanding as of yet!

Thanks mate, I will try (1000,4000)!

Yes, it did click the right spot, the button just didn't get clicked so it stayed like that. And yes, first error message. (Input limit reached). I fixed this by having a friend send me his folder and I started using his, which was OK.

Chuichu! thx a lot for the replies!
I yet have another question. What is the syntax for item.name?

[EndlessPermission]

Hey,
2 questions:

It appears that the login delay from haSetLogin() or haSetLoginDelay() only works for one try, after that it'll attempt to login very quickly, which you obviously don't want to happen. Is there something I'm overseeing or is this a bug?

Also I'm not sure but it feels like if - then structures with "haGetAccount()" comparisons sometimes just won't work / execute the stuff after the "then"? Again, could be just me or indeed a bug.

I read through the readme at least 10 times, and I have read through all 40 pages of posts here and still do not know how to make a working script.

As a non-programmer, programmers have to understand that much of this is like a foreign language to us.


this is the sample snipebuyout script right:
--[[
Simple traditional buyout bot that will buyout loop first item. User will
be prompt to set buyout if not already set. It will then adjust the buyout
each loop by a small random margin.
]]--

-- get user buyout
local buyout = haFilterBuyout()

-- check input
if buyout <= 0 then
haAlert('Set some filters and a low buyout')
else
while true do
-- update buyout with randomize
haFilterBuyout(buyout, true)

-- search and select first item in list
if haSearch() and haListSelect(1) then

-- do buyout
haBuyout()
end
end
end


When I see this, I have no direction or guidance from the readme where to put what functions and what I need to switch out. Like what are comments helping us that aren't actual code and what are actually part of the script.

We have to change 'buyout' to a number, but 'true' is fine as is, but how do we know this as non-programmers?

It would be really helpful if someone could post a youtube video of someone creating an actual working bot (no haAlert), and seeing it actually buy items.

I know that this isn't something that non-programmers are entitled to, but it would really help.

If no one wants to help, at least tell me what programming language I need to learn in order to understand this. Because when you say 'There really isnt much to learn to operate this bot besides loops if statements and some basic operators.', and you just link us to the LUA whole manual, it is extremely difficult pinpointing where we can specifically learn about 'loops, if statements, and some basic operators'. These words are even in the table of contents.

I'm using it since release and it works like a charm. Also haven't been hit by any bans whatsoever, but I'm not botting excessively to avoid getting caught statistically.

its standard lua so math.random should work ( Lua 5.1 Reference Manual )

the sell stuff is new, barely had a chance to test it :P i guess misread my test script (LogSelling.lua) wrong which was meant to list everything selling including the case for a full list. anyway bug noted.

note that strings used by haFilterStat vs haItemStat or haItem().text are simply text read from the game UI. so filter strings dont necessarily match up with item tooltips. i actually tried lining them up once and it was a maintenance nightmare and that was before supporting different locales. im sure theres some internal stat id/string table somewhere but im afraid i'd have to hook to line that up with the filter combo and tooltips which is a big nono warden autodetected instaban

hmm i probably have it click too fast before the button is ready. is it consistent?

local item = haItem()
item.name

sounds like a bug if haSetLoginDelay(5000) worked once and not a second time.

for haGetAccount() can you call haAlert(haGetAccount()) when it screws up and tell me what it shows? ive had troubles in the past with getting this one to consistently pull your email from the right memory location.

ill write up a nice tutorial for the complete noob as soon as i have the time. i figured folks who wanted a simple UI buyout bot would use blitzkrieg but unfortunately that dood got ganked by blizzlawyers

[MATRASUS]

One request - do not use in your tutorial real item names and real profitable filters. 'Item x' and 'stat x' are ok but 'ouroboros' and 'critical hit chance' aren't ok. There is a lot of information on how to use filters in Readme and it is easy to change 'Item x' or 'stat x' to whatever you need.

[ChuiChu]

i know nothing about the latest AH market analysis meta anyway... beyond "buy cheap legendaries lolol" assuming thats still even legit since 1.0.5
