[Open Source] Lucky's Spacebot

[TMichael]

OK, got my new vm setup with windows 7 having a problem with my window size, the game looks stretched sideways a little making everything look fat. In game is windowed 1024 x 768 The window looks about right, but things in game look wide or fat. This causes the bot to fail to choose a mission. I am sure it is just one option I am missing, can anyone help me out ?

What you're describing is an aspect ratio issue. You can fix this by experimenting with different VM desktop resolutions. 1400x1050 works well on mine, mileage may vary.

Thanks Michael, I will give it a try.

[deadlybot]

I would like to know why when running windows xp the aspect ration was fine at the resolutions I was running and now with windows 7 it is different. Just for the sake of learning something. Is it something to do with vmware or windows 7 or swtor or the bot or a combination of all 4 ? Also have you played with the stretch to fit options in the vmware options menu ?

Kalee ran last night after modding the file 124-2 with 1mil gained creds approx with no EMP. I am working on the mission files atm.

@clogue77: Unfortunately, they can recognize any of the known bots if they check your account while it's running. Today was another bot check day it seems - it's possible they check a bit more often just before a patch drops.

Mine runs without losses, but I do use the EMP. Of course, missions always run best when you have the maximum upgrades.

I'd love to have Kalee get the second bonus as well, but I think it might just be too difficult with PixelSearch. I'm looking forward to researching that recorder idea for sure.

this will solve your problem. you could probably even use this method to store the swtor installation folder outside of the vm. but you can certainly do this method to transfer it without running into the problem you have.

when the vm is powered off click on "edit virtual machine settings" then click the options tab, then click on shared folders and enable it and and check map as network drive and choose the folder or drive and then click ok. now when run the vm you will see the drive or folder from within the vm and you can transfer it.

I feel like an absolute idiot not realising I could map a shared folder. Just tried it and copied my swtor in 3 minutes without having to have a doubled sized drive. Gave you some rep. Thank you.

I got this same email yesterday. Be careful guys. I guess this bot has become more active than passive. Guess I am going to open a sec account for botting so my main account won't get band...

[adaman7]

I got suspended as well. These guys are ****ing stupid. They are having subscription problems and they are wasting time checking for bots rather than fixing real game issues. Nice to see how your subscription money is being put to use? I wrote a blistering email. I don't think they have any proof they are just looking for people who have been on for long periods in space at night, at most they are droping in and asking for a response but that is not actual proof.

yeah i got one of my accounts banned as well

they're pretty ****ing stupid, space botting doesn't affect anyone else's gameplay, and they're losing $$

1) I got dinged during the day, specifically around 1pm
2) Doesnt matter how bad you complain to them, the ToS people just ignore you and say they have proof but wont tell you how they know.
3) They dont check for a response.

They can do a couple of things without us knowing, so make preventative steps..

What they can possibly do and tips to fix it..

1) They can check currently running processes on the computer that the client is running on... Rename the bot to something less obvious.
2) They can see timestamps for login/logout/current active status/location and length of stay... Don't set the bot to shutdown, but allow it to start it back up and make sure there is a variance to OT so the times are random and let it stay off a bit.. there's no way someone is going to do 200 consistant space missions with 15 client crashes in between without giving up and doing something else (think from their side)
3) Somehow they are able to ding faster those who sell credits, stock pile credits, when someone in the buy/trade thread request an amount on your server, find out how much they are paying, if the SALE - $42 is still somewhat decent, buy a cd-key, start up a separate account, and create a level 1 toon and sell from that account, that way it's not directly linked to your main account.
4) If you actually like playing but want to benefit from the use of the bot at the same time, put out the change for a second account, the $42 I mentioned before is CD-Key + 90 days of play time. You can run that second account from a VM after you get it to the point of farming credits/mats

k I'm done rambling

Been botting for months. When I'm not botting, I'm logged in *all the time* just to chat or do nothing. So /played is pretty crazy high. I renamed the process (window title) and filename. I keep to myself and don't sell the creds. I raid all the time on my other toons.

All my accounts got suspended a couple of days ago. One was running noob's new untz and other was running lucky's. Both suspended at the same time and approximately after 3-4 missions.

Doesn't matter I guess. So bored with the game, the only real fun really was botting. Anyway I unsubbed all the accounts. The guild and my friends look like they will as well.

yeah this is one of the greatest mishandlings of a franchise ever
