[Open Source] Lucky's Spacebot

[TMichael]

Since one of the last patches the client - if windowed - will not start with its "last known" screen size but with the one from its settings. If the bot is started after the client, it moves the client window to the according size and position. Other way round - bot running, then client launched - the client wont be resized and so it will be off for two pix. (768 instead of 766) This comes in way with the "client ready"-check from HD mode.

Using the "resize n move" button or launching bot after client should help. Disabling HD would be no good idea even if it might look so. We will deal with that issue in one of the next updates.

Good catch. After reading this, I implemented a quick fix in revision 246, which is now up. Please let me know if it works as intended!

We have identified that your character was moving in a manner and/or speed that is outside of our normal in-game parameters, and upon further investigation we have detected a pattern of play that provides an unfair advantage over other players outside of the intended in-game mechanics. You may not use any of your own software or third-party software to modify the Service content to change game play.

Sorry too. There have been penalty reports earlier, but the message is a bit unfamiliar for space, sounds more like a speedhack / noclip ban.

Sorry to hear that. Are you EU or US? It seems a bit early to be throwing the bans out in the US (just after 4:00am on the west coast).

Yes im on the AU server. So is this a common problem with the bot? How does one get past this little problem? It seems that BW keeps tabs on suspishous account usage.. any sugestions would be helpfull. The bot is great but i love star wars too much to face a perminant ban

Unfortunately, any form of botting will put your account at risk. BW started targeting space bots specifically a few weeks ago as far as I know.

There is much speculation as to how botters are detected, but in all likelihood, it simply comes down to flagging accounts for behavior outside the "norm". If this is your main account and you don't wish to lose it, my best advice would be to stop the botting completely.

Good luck.

The advice is good since it will be quite easy to detect a bot from their servers. Too their CSR's will have much more time now as there are just a handful - not overcrowded - servers left. Seems as if there is a lot of insecurity and fear around at BW. A lot of professional hope will be put into F2P and its surrounding biz. So if in such a situation they get the belief that space bots might lead to a cut of their biz - and if its only selling creds for Cartel chips - it would be easy to understand why space bots now become haunted more and more. Will be interesting to see how this develops once F2P is out of the box.

i keep getting the feeling these are just troll posts

anyway, no, that doesn't help anyone one bit, you need to provide details, what circumstances were surrounding your botting before you got banned, etc.

that would help

[syre10]

nope, not a troll.

setup the bot to run the daily space missions and then run the 44 aenten (sp.). Left. Came back an hour later and had an email from BW. Still running lucky 5.31 actually

No, they happen. Today is just one of those ban/suspend wave days. We got the early heads up when the AU user posted - I think today was chosen because of the MoP launch, leaving a smaller population playing SWToR and making the botters easier to spot.

I had one of mine suspended as well. As for specifics, 18+ hours per day, no sales, two characters on account with some questing for each, the main character was mid thirties, and she was logged off a few hours before the wave hit.

Hi there. not a troll mate. I wil try to give you all the info i can!

i have been running Luckys_Spacebot_v5.31 for sevral months now. (cant rember what version i was running before) i have compleatly leveled 1 toon from 11 to 50 and i regualy use it on 2 of my level 50 toons. Most commonly i will run the bot on my sith assisan while i sleep. there seems to be a 50/50 chance it will still be running the next morning as it sometimes causes the game to crash. i run atten defence on a loop aswell as having the program run gathering missions. (usualy biochem/slicing/diplomicy or scavanging) BW stated that only ne of my toons (the assisan) was in breach. I am asuming this is because this toon lives in his space ship and just bots. i dont play him hes simply there to farm credits and mats. Most recently i have noticed instances where i am logged out just after startign the bot(10-40min).In retrospect his sugests that BW was checking to see if i was on the computer flying the mission as the bot does not normaly log you out. I would say this behavour has been over the past 2 weeks. So yeh i have bene very naughty and got stupid. They apear to be trackign space missions usage which would be quite easy.


it might be nice to see if the bot can go undetected while running crew skills only!

please let me know if you need any more infomation. not exactly shore what you would find helpfull

Outstanding Idea!!!

I will move one of my accounts on my normal machine and run crewskills 24/7 just to see. Because of the amount of 50s I use and rotate i assume it has kept me safe. I will only run crewskills on the one account one toon and let the others rotate normally see who gets ban'd first.

Ive wondered how well slicing does per/hr good project.!!!
