APB Ultimate

[RogerAngell]

You attachment is not approved yet so I can't see it. Please describe exactly what you are doing. Specifically which add button? There are two. One in settings and one in professions. Also what are you trying to add. I need details.

Problem solved, and thanks for your lovely bot

[tommyboy69]

What doesn't work yet:
Auto Char Setup
Stats
Minimize to Tray option.
Also there is no additional asset functionality yet or extra feature functionality like buying materials/refining etc.


Only report issues on this thread. DO NOT send me PMs as my space is limited and if it gets full I won't receive them at all. Reports should all be in this thread so I can keep track of them properly.

Current Version 0.3.9b:

SHA-1 Hash of the archive: DC2ED3797DA6516CACBBD601409C4FDA3387F808

Known Issues:
--There's a very small memory leak in QtWebkit (about 60mb in 24 hours depending on setup/FP mode is affected more). I'm looking at it but it's not a priority right now due to it being very small.

Guide by Methuselas (APB Ultimate)

Changelog:

0.3.9b:
--Implemented about box.
--Experimental handling of your network dying while APBU is running.
--Move the cookie.jar file into the Settings directory in order to simplify upgrades. So now when upgrading you only need to keep Settings and Queues (Exported too if you're exporting queues in there). Before running this version move your cookie.jar file to the Settings directory so that you don't have to do One-Time again.

0.3.8b:
--Fixed an issue with settings not saving if closing the window with the X button.

0.3.7b:
--Implemented import/export functions.
--Added Relog delay setting. This now controls the Relog delay and is separate from the loop delay. Minimum value is 60 seconds.
--Added Internal Timeout setting. This now controls some of the internal loops that I had hardcoded to 10, to separate them from the Timeout setting. The minimum is 8. It can not and should not be reduced EVER. If you have bad network conditions or bad route to gateway, this is the first value that you should INCREASE and then the regular Timeout value. Your settings files will be automatically upgraded by this new version with the default values.
--Added mouseover tooltips to all the settings in the Settings window.

0.3.6b:
--Fixed issue with clicking the remove button twice in a row without clicking a task to remove in between.
--Fixed an issue with Reloging after timeout during switching characters introduced with the 0.3.4b changes.

0.3.5b:
--Fixed an issue with not handling gateway dropping session in a specific function.
--Some logging messages are now better.
--Added missing recipes. Only a few rares in Weaponsmithing missing now! (Thanks Darxide23!)

0.3.4b:
--Added additional and more descriptive logging messages at a specific point.
--Additional handling of gateway being funky.

0.3.3b:
--Delay setting is now Base Delay and a random number is applied to it.

0.3.2b:
--Reduced memory footprint.
--Fixed a slot misreporting in 3 log messages.

0.3.1b:
--Fixed a memory leak in the web browser engine. (Do not keep any dll from older versions).
--Timeouts while switching characters now handled properly.

0.3.0b:
--Log Window implemented.
--Added additional logging messages (more will be added as needed).
--Fixed issue with recipes with identical names in the same profession.
--Start button can not be pushed now if APBU is already running.
--Something I'm forgetting right now.

0.2.8b:
--Fixed an issue with Queue Planner task lookups.

0.2.7b:
--Last optimizations on loop logic for now.

0.2.6b:
--Relaxed the slot checking function timing by a second.

0.2.5b:
--Fixed an issue introduced with 0.2.4b.
--Fixed a bug in the Queue Planner.
--Added missing Platesmithing recipes (thanks Darxide23!).

0.2.4b:
--Further optimizations in loop logic and failproofing.

0.2.3b:
--Clicking a queued task in Queue Planner will now set the Profession and Task list boxes to the appropriate task and the Repeat field to the amount of iterations of the task clicked.
--Added 3 missing Leatherworking recipes.
--Initial handling of the cases where Gateway kicks you off or sends message that they timed out. When Gateway kicks you out the APBU will stop unless you're in Autologin mode. In that case it will relog and continue. In the cases where Gateway sends that new timeout message, APBU will reload the URL. It is possible that I'm not handling this for every possible point in time that this may happen. So if you still get unhandled kick to login, please report it, saying where it happened if possible.

0.2.2b:
--New icon by Methuselas!
--Significantly reduced CPU usage (Significantly is probably the understatement of the century :p).
--Hooked the X button so now it will close properly even if you don't press the Stop button first.
--Further performance optimizations.

0.2.1b:
--Fix for forcing Gateway to English so bot works on every Windows locale. (This time it's not experimental heh).

0.2.0b:
--Fix for possibility of required gateway buttons being offscreen.

0.1.9b:
--Password is no longer stored in plaintext, in settings.xml (it's not humanly readable anymore). This means that if you're using AutoLogin you must set your password again in the settings cause it will now be bogus.
--Implemented "what do do on Time Out" option. The default is go to next task. The relog option only works with AutoLogin (obviously heh).
--Experimental fix for forcing English language from Gateway if your Windows has a non English locale.
--Enabled some HTML5 features that may make some things smoother(make sure you clear the contents of the "Cache" directory for this version.
--Yet another fix for the Stop Button, hopefully the last (sorry too many loops to cater for heh).
--Internal optimizations.
--Account setting can now take numbers as well.

0.1.8b:
--Fix a bug with First Possible Mode.
--Tweaked FP Mode so that it works faster.
--Once the bot is running it will update the Window Title with the account name currently running.
--Experimental fix for forcing English locale.


0.1.7a:
--Fixed an issue in default queue mode.
--Implemented the other 2 queue modes.
--Fixed an edge case timeout that could repeat for ever.

0.1.6a:
--Fixed Stop Button issue.
--Fixed character structure issue.
--Further improvements on timing code. (Looks like I've nailed it on this version).
--In case of timeouts status bar will now say where exactly it timed out.

0.1.5a:
--Further timing code tweaking.

0.1.4a:
--Fixed an issue with the Stop Button.
--Further tweaking timeout code.

0.1.3a:
--Fixed wrong library version.
--On clicking start it now reloads any queue changes properly.

yet again new program and always issues
just trying to export the setting for each char is a pain in ass

why not have a save option noooo its export import "so stupid"

trying to export my setting per char as done on all others
and I get .xml invalid filename hahahahahahahahahahahahah
why do people try so hard to impress others there so smart? common sense dummies

[BaseN]

If you want to export settings for each character it's as simple as copying the entire queues directory. But that needs a brain in working order.

[hjm12]

So it's been about a week since BaseN said he would be releasing 0.4.0 to his testers. Any word on how that is going? Is it looking good, or did it implode? Just curious, cause i'm eager to see the new release.

[BaseN]

Methuselas reported some issues related to the optional assets and I'm looking into them.

Wow... That's it? You didn't even touch on his grammar, specifically the difference between their, they're and there and how he failed to notice. I know it's off-topic but it infuriates me when someone is bashing other's publicly available and unmonetized work.

Lulz. I was gonna do it, but you beat me to it. XD

It's my fault, HJM. I found 2 bugs that I had to report. Rain hellfire down upon me.


Neverwinter fools........

[tommyboy69]

oh get over it , plain and simple

APB save or load that simple
and you donated how much???? -0-
nothing in details says to copy anything as I detailed earilier no true description of how to or what to do....
ohhhh do I still see others saying bugs still??? ahhh point made!
ill stick with original apb I have it working fine!!!

APBU autosaves so it doesn't need save/load. So if you want to save your queues, you save the xml files directly. A 12 year old can do that without a manual. It is clearly explained what the Queues and the Settings directories hold.

The import/export function is for those who want to rotate queues frequently so they export a specific queue and import it to any character at will.
Export/Import is the correct terminology because save/load implies saving loading the entire thing (including the character). While export means you save particular
settings in a way that can be imported to any other character. Much like you export your mailer's settings in order to import them to another mailer (crude example
so that you may actually get it).

ohhhh do I still see others saying bugs still??? ahhh point made!

APBU has less bugs than the others. Bugs can be introduced when new features are implemented. It is standard in any kind of development. When something has
not been touched for months, it can not acquire new bugs. It is just left with the old ones it had (all of the issues with the older APBs are fixed in APBU).

That said. You obviously don't like APBU and don't want to use it. Fine, that's always your choice. You didn't pay for it, nor did anyone shove it down your throat. So
since you obviously don't care about it and have nothing constructive to add or suggest then stop posting in the thread and go use whatever it is that you use. Wasting
my time in having to read your rants when I'm looking for reports or feedback, is the epitome of counter-productive.
Plain and simple.

[ftcosiris]

I am personally EXTREMELY excited about 4.0 since I can only use APBU on alt accounts since my main account has lots of extra assets. That said, yours is certainly more stable and works more continually than APBI.

Fingers crossed for future.

[Methuselas]

and you donated how much???? -0-

Actually, I've donated quite a bit. I wrote the xml files for the assets and jobs. I've done alpha and beta testing. I even wrote a tutorial for setting up the bot, for new users.

TommyBoy, how much have you donated, pray tell?

Please stop trolling.


[EDIT] - Oh an to "alleviate" all your "problems", there's this neat, little feature in Windows called right click > rename. You should try it sometime.

[Darxide23]

APBU has infinitely less bugs than APBI. Someone is just bitter for being called out on being dumb.

I've been using 0.4.0 for two weeks now and it's rock solid in terms of stability. It will be worth the wait.

[Cyntalan]

Quick question, BaseN - I know this is destined to be built for x64, but is there a chance for a x86 build as well? While I do have a computer that runs Win 7 x64, the computers I have most frequent access to are all x86. I know someone who's currently using the greasemonkey script on a Raspberry Pi (something I want to do myself), so having a build for those would be flippin' sweet, but just having APBU on my USB running in the background on any given computer would be nice to have.

APBI work well if you can run it with script, I tried APBU and it got constant disconnection, relog + short job failure, but anyway I need no wait new program because there is still working OLD one and if all fail, then GreaseMonkey script looks good.

Mod 3 will bring new Professions and it could broke old APBI so then it will be good to have Ultimate version ready.


ps. two weeks and no need refine AD manually or restart Bot every day by hand, cool if true then it will be nice.
