How should I treat the start delay? I can't seem to get it right... It's always a bit out of sync for me. Other than that it works like a charm for me.
If I can get the sync fixed I will donate for sure![]()

3.1d/3.2
ascendancy barrier force closes the bot when attempting to record. other missions work fine. am of level to do it.
unfortunately inaccuracy is a feature of all 'syncing' methods
the best way to reduce inaccuracy is :
1. reset your computer - a fresh startup ALWAYS helps, for me it goes form maybe 60% to 90%+ on clouds44
2. run the mission once before attemping to bot - the first load time is always the longest (in my case, its roughly a second longer, from 10 to 11 seconds) and may throw off your recording as the subsequent plays will load slightly faster
in practice, i reset my computer, load the mission then quit it (or finish it), then either record+play or play an older recording, then go to sleep
thats, as of the moment, the best way to use it, i believe
when i manage to update to the new sync method it should be easier and less restricting on timing
hmm yes ive known of this problem since 3.0 but i thought i fixed it in 3.1, but evidently i did not. just stick with clouds44 for now, it gives more creds/hour and also gives exp to level 50, ill have it fixed on next update, sorry
it was a counter measure to stop erroring out but apparently i bugged it

thephilz... I think I may have found a way to get _imagesearcharea to work with starting a mission timer uniformly. Tell me what you think
After much frustration with Aeten not starting,I took a screenshot of a orange missile in the bottom right hand corner. The missiles always appear as soon as the screen loads any space mission. I changed the coords and the bot found the missile as soon as it began and it turned the bot on right away. It slept 2000 and turned on so it worked. Only downside is it turns the bot on right away and the image is always there unless you fire a missile, in which case it turns from orange to grey. Don't know if this is a problem for the script but it worked for me.
Also I scripted a disconnect protect for the bot. I am sure some users would appreciate the script so I'd send it to you if you want to add it into deathcheck. Works great for me, logs me right back into the game after a DC and restarts the bot.
Something to log you back in would be amazing.....I tend to get a few random D/Cs every few hours. Anyway, an update...it's pretty much running fine for the most part. Was even able to watch a movie (dual screen) while it ran so I could watch it. Every 4-5 runs seem to be okay but timing goes way off for 1-2 now and than. So it's all or nothing because of the collisions. Hopefully I'll be leveled up some (2 levels already) when I wake up and ready for the full program! Thanks again!
Is there a guide somewhere on what missions to use if you want to level 10-50 as fast as possible?
I ran this on my 19 Sorc yesterday, when I woke up this morning, he is now level 25.
Donated to open up higher missions. Thanks.
Ahh different bmps eh? I was just putting the exe into the same folder since I had some of my own bmps in there now.
Also, ungh for lvl 28 missions.
I just let it run over night... 4 wins 132 losses. Imagine the ****ing xp i could have had....
And this was ezran, the longer one. he keeps missing targets. taspan 1 or 2 missed planes and that damn escort blows up.
I can get em to the canyon full health, and then he pops out half dead.
66 wins - 88 losses! I still went from 22 to 25 over night (and 75k credits to 125k!) but I was tooooo greedy and decided to stick with the space mission I had running. Probably should of picked the one I can't crash into things :P Learned my lesson though. Either way, what a great programMaybe some others can share feedback on actually running it perfectly, I'll be reading the thread again in case I missed anything. I may even run this on my main just for the extra credits haha
No you didn't.
At 19 the best mission you can do is Jabiim Escort, which provides around 3k experience in total per run, averaging lets say 4 minutes per run.
15 Runs an hour, is 45000 EXP per hour. If you slept for 10 hours and it ran perfectly with no fails/crashes, that's 450k experience. Even if you were at 99% exp at level 19, Level 20-25 is over 500k experience. So basically, not possible.
Essentially, you want to do the fastest, highest level mission you are capable of doing while always having the highest space items available to you.
For republic, its:
Fondor Escort
Makem Te Assault ( Prefer it over Archenor, nothing to run into on long overnight runs)
Syvris Evacuation
Pakuuni Defense ( Longer then Kovor, but much easier when doing long runs. Make sure to make use of your shield switches whenever you can)
Hydian Way Blockade ( Drexel has long load times, its hard to sync with it, and regular interceptors on Hydian have no shields).
Zosha Advance ( Hard version of Makem Te Assault, same reasoning )
That would take you all the way to 50, relatively easily.
Hints and tips:
Use Z for missiles, Auto-it still has problems with right click on occasion.
Make sure after killing an objective to use your lasers in zones where the objective would have been. You need to do so incase your sync is slightly off, and it will be off over a large amount of time ( running it for over 12 hours )
When shooting down interceptors, kinda lead them. Follow there path even after you have destroyed them. Again, just playing it safe on sync issues.
Make sure when you start doing 34+ missions, that you make use of your shield WHENEVER you can. I find that Pakuuni is the hardest mission in this particular list when done at that level( The rest are actually pretty easy ), and had to almost entirely avoid non-mission related items to consistently beat the mission.
Save your dailys for levels 27-28. There is a lapse in space missions at this point where you cannot gain experience from them. If you are 7 levels above the mission, you gain 5 experience for completion. So the level 20 missions will only get you to 27, and the next missions are available at 28.
Switch to Zosha as soon as you can. Hydian is decent for syncing, gives good exp, but its really long and basically your only option from 40-44. Zosha is much easier.
Never bother with the level 48 mission. To much risk, for essentially the same reward as Zosha which is easy mode.
Try and do the bonus's in your runs. They really make up for a great deal of your EXP total. Your goal should be to get as much EXP per hour as possible. On average it's probally going to take you around 150 hours with the bot on to go from 1-50.
Note on future patches:
Bioware has posted "some" information on the legacy system that is do to come out in march. Essentially, you will be able to purchase perks that will do different things. You will be able to customize your leveling experience, in that you could buy perks to increase EXP gained from Killing mobs, PVP, or even Space missions. I would highly suggest anyone that has hit level 50, on your main or alt even, use this bot to roll as many alts as possible to gain legacy experience. This will allow you to level faster alts, get higher legacy experience ( which gives you more perks on your main! ). If you ran this bot just while you sleep, you should be able to get THREE additional characters to level 50 by march.
I'm having trouble with the bot properly clicking on the ending quest reward. That is, it attempts to click the "Accept" button, but it doesn't work, so the bot gets stuck assuming and it has indeed clicked on it, now waiting for the loading screen.
EDIT: I solved it in case anyone else is having this problem. While recording, leave the auto-fire toggle ON at the very end. This is what triggers the mouseclicks necessary for the bot to actually click on the "Accept" button.
