[Gold/Item Farming] Shimizoki's Sarkoth DH Script [AutoIt]

[HiFi]

based on the information you gave us, it seems that by opening the window, the autoit crashes, at that specific point in time, it has to do with the tesseract, as its calculating how much gold you currently have.

Try to reinstall tesseract and delete and place in the tesseract.au3 file into the program files folder.

You have it right on the money, it does have something to do tesseract.

On this call to function "GoldPerHour", on line 186:
If $runCount == 1 Then Call("GoldPerHour")

I am guessing some screen ratio calculation was incorrect which caused script to stop functioning.

This is copy/pasted from line 502:
-------------------------------------------------------
Func GoldPerHour()
Send("i")
Sleep(Random(700, 900))
$CurrentGold = _TesseractScreenCapture(0, "", 1, 2, 1450*$x_ratio, 504*$y_ratio, 1570*$x_ratio, 530*$y_ratio, 0, 150)
Send("i")

$CurrentGold = StringRegExpReplace($CurrentGold, "[^0-9]", "")
ConsoleWrite($CurrentGold & ", ")
$trt = TimerDiff($t)
$SecondsRan = $trt / 1000

If $StartingGold <= 0 Then $StartingGold = $CurrentGold
If $StartingGold > 0 Then $AccumulatedGold = $CurrentGold - $StartingGold
$GPH = $AccumulatedGold / $SecondsRan * 3600

If $GPH >= 0 and $AccumulatedGold >=0 then
UpdateTooltip()
EndIf
EndFunc
-------------------------------------------

I commented it out the body of this function, ran the bot, and it worked fine (on 1280x720). I could look into more on why this function caused the error, but I'm guessing @Shimizoki would have a better clue.

If its a screen ratio issue, my suggestion is to use AutoIt's window info program and find out the exact pixels of the gold numbers,well afterall, I think its just a added luxury feature for displaying GPH....

Since you managed to get it working on 1280x720, do you mind showing me exactly what you did? I am having the exact same problem on the exact same resolution, but the only answers I have been getting and/or seeing are things like "be sure to have tesseract installed". :\. I don't think I'd forget to do something like that thank you. Sorry if that sounds rather snide towards others who give out answers like that, but it can be a little frustrating seeing the same thing over and over again.

Yes please. I've been having the exact same problem as qu9ke and tried everything over and over again. Thanks!

for you guys with the errors, just remove the lines from 502 starting from Func GoldPerHour() till the EndFunc, that should solve your error

[Zizuirl]

"Fixed several gold and leveling exploits" in the 1.0.3a patch notes, thinking they might nerf us....

Yup! That does remove the error message. Thanks. Now if only he would find the cellar before TPing back to town. Not sure why he's not going far enough. He's stop pretty far away from the cellar.

Uh, I just saw the patch notes, I am very sure that sarkoth nerf is iminent. jesus

[Mezoberren]

Can someone tell me why it keep showing Area not found?

[qu9ke]

I will be so frustrated if they nerf Sarkoth. Do they seriously expect everyone to grind many many many MANY hours out of our lives trying to gather enough gold just for one item that may or may not be overpriced in the auction house? No sir! I will not do that. You know... they can nerf Sarkoth, but I'm probably still going to be using this script just for a slap in the face... unless the nerf is so ridiculous it just makes it like 20,000 or less gph or something.... >.>

I am pretty sure they will nerf sarkoth. If you have been following all of blue's post in forums, blizzard clearly states that they do not want a player to repeatedly farm something that is easily accessible and can be done quickly. They want us to play through the same story quest again and over again to farm items/gold

I'm searching through the thread for an answer, but my problem is I followed the guide, hit = to run the script and it goes and clicks resume, loads into game and the character just sits there then eventually it clicks leave game and repeats. No errors or anything, and I've tried running the bot and autoit on both x86 and x64, my machines Win7 x64.

The logs are just:

Not Found - DisconnectError
Expects - MainMenu
Found - MainMenu
Runs: 1, Manage In: 100
Not Found - DisconnectError

I think that is bull if you ask me. It takes me hours/days WITH the script just to get a single item I need. Without Sarkoth, it will take me weeks upon weeks (maybe even months) just to get a single item maybe. That is something I will NOT do. I played for over 100 hours on my barbarian which is my first character long before I ever even knew about botting, and during that WHOLE time I only accumulated maybe 2-3 million gold. I am not going to play an extra 3,000+ hours to get the money I need. Blizzard can go kiss my (insert non-friendly word here).

The only legitimate reason I can think of as to why nerf these exploits is b/c you could make easy money through the RMAH (which imho is a mistake in itself). While I understand there are some people like this out there, I myself have never used botting to take advantage of the RMAH. I would feel too guilty taking people's money when all I did on my part was sleep for 8 hours and get a few million gold to sell. They shouldn't have even made the RMAH if you ask me. That's practically sugar coated robbery and an indirect way to inflate gold prices in the AH.

Man... I really do not like corporate America, Blizzard being a corporation after all. We could run just as smoothly if not better without these 'big dogs' in suits calling the shots.

The problem is that sarkoth has been repeatedly exploited since the launch of the game, and blizzard is definitely aware of this. They mentioned fixing of gold exploit, so as of now we don't know what will happen to sarkoth, but I am very sure that they will definitely nerf sarkoth, to what extend I do not know.

But seriously I don't really care. D3 is quite a horrible game IMO, still feel like its in beta production..

They can nerf sarkoth, but they can't nerf our minds. We just have to find a new spot to farm gold

that is true, but there will come a point when they will nerf every possible spot. The only other thing to do I would imagine is to wait for a possible expansion pack, where new spots would open up.
