[AH Bot] HappyAuction

[ChuiChu]

i read it as an extra delay to buying (or selling) an item where the OK button becomes active early (which would trigger HA to click it). this causes the purchase to cancel before allowing said processing to complete.

it sounds like another EU/US difference.

Chui, I must agree with ztnko on this, I did my own research on the failed items with 2 bots and it is basicaly what he said - it is a fact that sometimes tho both bots try to buy an auction and only one gets it and the other one does not receive even a failed. I guess it is just the way AH works.

I am also interested in how the speed of the connection interacts with outsniping, but the strange thing is that we have done experiments with 2 different connections (one faster and one slower) and they both outsnipe evenly items from one another.

A needed fix imho is one that will click OK on all errors that pop on the AH when it is unstable (like cannot get payment info, auction house unavailable etc) and the bot to relog and try to connect to the Ah again.

i think we talking about different probs here... you mentioned something where AH would cancel a processing action preventing a successful buy according to

- Hi Chui,I have a problem with the bot - I see it as it finds the item, tries to buy it and then as it is processing
the auction it either cancels it after 1 second waiting or the item suddenly becomes unavailable, but there is no
failed auction ( IF it was a clear outsnipe, it would have been a FAILEd and would return the money) so I guess it
just doesn't wait until the end of the processing and presses the cancel button. Is this possible, because since the
last few patches I got severely reduced failed ammounts and bought amounts of items, so I guess it is a button problem,
when the processing goes a little bit longer and the bot doesn't wait for it to complete, otherwise it would give the
auction as a failed. Is this possible?

the cancel payment/etc info i have listed as a seperate thing... where what ill just do is before every script call ill check if a popup exists and clear it.

This will also solve "payment information" popup that just started appearing. My guess is that the next patch is near.
Or at least, the next banwave is very very near. Careful guyz!

I get some kind of error saying "script fail: not ah/d3 maybe minimized etc. (4 proposals of what fail is). I have no idea why this came, cause it was working fine. I even tried to install again. Only thing i can th ink of is if it have to be some specific solution, btu I doubt it. Anyway, I didnt change res.

Anyione know why this is happening?

[awp2004]

to be more specific:
D3 not running
D3 minimized
not ah
not latest version

None of these are true though.

That's really what we need to fix the instability of AH which happens from time to time. As for the other issue - i guess it is just the way AH functions, sometimes it doesnt get an item, it doesn't list even as failed.

[CHandest]

Past 8 days the 31075 error has popup when entering the AH and HA can't deal with these errors yet :-/

FYI Chu, patch 1.0.7 is about to be released soon. PTR-version first though.

Man, I had that months ago. But it cant be as heavy overloaded now, I dont beleive that

Anyone know why it doesnt recognize multiple instances? and gives me this script fail occasionally?

[DoichinMitrev]

Yes, Chui I beg you to fix the bot not moving past these various errors about which ztnko and sehae are talking about. <3 Luv ya.

repost from another thread:

I am looking to hire a coder to create a utility that will read the memory, more specifically item attributes in the auction house, and produce a score according to the players custom scales.
This would be great to find upgrades easier. It could also save a score from your current item and then divide the difference between the two scores by the new item price to create an efficiency per gold spent rating.

The questions are:

-can you and do you want to do it? We can discuss further, or not, after that question.

[awp2004]

is "apoc starter" not supported by this? It does not recognize all windows

ill do this monday. i think i spent too much time lately trying to add features instead of fixing things so ill release a bug fix release with some features... work deadline until then

[ztnko]

i would like to summarize all i know about "Bugged Mode" bug as i named it. When bot enters this mode - it only "simulates" work - 1st time i write about this mode here - http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/diab...ml#post2592241 ([AH Bot] HappyAuction). Now i can add more info about it. for example we can take this simple script that i post here before:

function zResell()
	local zp=0.85
	local ii=0
	zitems3={
	{0,0},
	{0,0},
	{0,0},
	{0,0},
	{0,0},
	{0,0},
	{0,0},
	{0,0},
	{0,0},
	{0,0}
	}
	while haSellIterate() do
	ii=ii+1
		local item = haItem()
		zitems3[ii][1]=item.hash
		zitems3[ii][2]=item.buyout
		haSellCancel()
	end
	haSleep(1100)
	while haSendToStash() do end
	while haSendToStash() do end
	haSetGlobalDelay(100)
	local zf = true
	for zrow = 1,10 do
	if zf == false then break end
	for zcol = 1,7 do
	if zf == false then break end
		haStashSelect(zcol, zrow, 1)
		local item = haItem()
		for j=1,10 do
			if item.hash == zitems3[j][1] then
				price = math.floor((zitems3[j][2])*zp)
				zf = haSell (price, price)
				break
			end

		end
	end
	end
end

zResell()

it cancell all auctions and then resell it... now what happens when bot enters this "bug mode" - there are variants
1. the bot stops on 1st haSellCancel() and freze there forever on "auctions" tab.
2. the bot cancell all items good but fully ignore while haSendToStash() do end line (i even write it 2 times in script) - so it cancell all items and not send them to stash and of couse it find nothing then in stash
3. it cancell all ok, it send to shash ok but then it reads wrong tooltips - so it can't recognize items and ignore them
4. all 3 previous is ok but when he click an item and try zf = haSell (price, price) - zf == false don't know why. (i don't speek here about bugged auction house as previous 2 weeks when sometimes we can see "zero error" when trying to sell item)

it's most annoying bug ever. it happens regulary. it happens for all my friends whom i contact. with this script i can surely see that bot enters "bug mode" and take on or off vsync, take on and off fullscreen mode or even restart diablo client. after that manipulations - bot enters normal mode and all working as intended. but the most problem that you only see bugged mode when bod doing such manipulations. we can't see it when bot in "buying items mode" because there is no manipulations at all. i am 100% sure that when bot in bug mode it can't buy items. there are statistically impossible incidences such as bot working in "finding and buying items" mode for 12 hours and don't find even 1 item (it logs every item that it find). then i saw it and restart diablo clinet and bot starting to find 10+ items for hour as always for this script etc... there are tonn of such statistically impossible cases. i am sure i can understand when bot working and don't find items because there are no items and this bugged case. it's very big and annoying problem! i try every day to find that magic video settings that don't enter bug mode and i can't find - i set vsync on and off, i set fps to 20,30,40... i resize window different ways... nothing helps - one day it enters this mode and it's luck if i quickly understand it.

as for statistic - i bot on EU (20 ping), US (150 ping), Asia (500+ ping) - proportions of bug happens 1x(EU)-3x(US)-10x(Asia) - so i think it correlated with ping or delays of interface etc... may be all this info helps ChuiChu to understand the roots of the problem... if there is not enough info about problem - i need to know what info i need to gather?

p.s. if somebody knows that magic combination of video settings - help please! (don't offer full screen mode - it must be only window mode)
