updated spacebot + crewbot

[azngod1992]

Looking for a little help. I have spent 2 days trying to get this to work.

I have read through every single post, and done my very best to follow every advice, and directions, that relates to me.

I am running Windows XP.

1. I changed to windowed, set my resolution to very low, and changed to default interface.
2. I SS'd, used paint to edit, and saved my own versions of firstcharacter.jpg, defender.bmp, galaxy.bmp, logout.jpg, logoutyes.jpg, minimap.jpg, getting as little black in the images as possible. I did not get logoutimmediate.jpg because I could not zoom in on the provided image, to see what it was. But, I do not think that is my particular problem.
3. I did not try the windows Aero Theme yet, as it appeared the other windows XP user did not need to do that, just fix his images.

When I run the spacebot portion, I am logged into my toon, standing in front of my chair, with the camera facing behind the chair. It says it can not see my selected character, and attempts to logout. And this point, it loops over and over on the opening and closing of the main options window. If I tell it I am already logged in, It opens the main options window, and then stops at 'Looking for World Map'.

When I run the crewbot portion, it appears to run certain mission objectives correctly (UT, Comp Gifts), but others not correctly (UT, metals and UT, Luxury Fabrics). In regards to the metals and fabrics, it appears to not click on the mission.

When I run the program, at the character select screen, it says 'Character not at select screen or unable to find image, attempting to log out.



I have tried to contact you over the past two days on Skype, using both names you listed in the OP.

Please understand, I noticed you prefer those who help themselves. I have tried, over and over, doing various different things. But, while I get the idea that we are using some kind of saved mouse script, that looks for the images in that folder to know where to click, I am somewhat lost. I have used other programs in the past, successfully (idroid in PvP), before I left the game. I would very much like to get this to work, and to pay you for a wonderful program, that helps me level, when I sleep.

I look forward to hearing from you, and solving this.

P.S. I also tried the older Lucky's and your newer version. And UntzBot. Thus far, not able to get any of them to work, which leads me to believe my OS won't run it, or I'm doing something wrong from the start.

Since Untzbot and Lucky's won't work for you, I suspect it's something to do with AutoIt. Are you sure you have all of the libraries needed for AutoIt updated? Also, try downloading a new version. I also remember (when playing around with D3 farming autoit bots) that you need to change some thing in windows settings in X64 to get imagesearch to work properly, you should try google to see if this is in fact the case with XP.

Bread, if you're here, I'm having problem with playback. I record everything fine, but when it plays back (Syncing is fine), it's only playing back a certain percentage of the recorded files. I don't think it's a problem with my rig (2.4 ghz quad core/8 gigs ram/GTX 560, and Lucky's works perfectly for me), so I think it's a problem with how the recorded text files are being recorded and played. I looked into your AutoIt code, maybe you can institute a few millisecond delay between each recorded actions? I'm trying to play around with the code, but I'm not familiar enough with AutoIt scripting to make it work properly right now. Any advice?

Also, for those with problems regarding the bot clicking through menus too fast, just change the waitSleep function in his autoit code. I changed it from 400ms to 600ms and now every click in the menu registers.

EDIT: Ok, the playback function is fine. I think it's this line in the recording function that changes the time between recordings (Line 6142: If $time - $lastTime > 4 Then). Am I correct? If I up the value, it should change the increment between each recording right?

just a suggestion to improve Your bot, which were used by Lucky's group (it is opensource, so no CopyLeft rights)
result - bot auto set game GUI to default.
content of file UIButton.png is simple "cross" button to drop down the interface switch menu
content of file UIdefault.png is simple "Default" word from interface switch menu

Settings for screen detalisation also could be switched automatically - simply clicks on fixed mouse positions. Sry cant suggest position for insert (just after load game or first initialising of UI block...mb @ 3356 make another version of focusTOR() with such block inside (after line 8853 EndIF)

MouseMove (482, 41)
 MouseClick("left")
	  Sleep(500)
MouseMove( 397, 325)
 MouseClick("left")
	  Sleep(500)
MouseMove (152, 251)
 MouseClick("left")

	  Sleep(500)
MouseMove (371, 337)

Great job. Thanks. Sure good reason to donate. Will do.

P.S.All line positions w/o suggested inserts.
P.P.S. Taking into account security code field - the pass entry usless..no?

Anyone else come back to the computer to see swtor timed out due to inactivity and your character is now in some other part of the ship? So the bot ran it somewhere else and couldn't find the map.

I also remember (when playing around with D3 farming autoit bots) that you need to change some thing in windows settings in X64 to get imagesearch to work properly, you should try google to see if this is in fact the case with XP.

The things you need to change in windows, is that the Aero Theme, that keeps being mentioned? I can't seem to find that, for XP. I've found some crazy things, in my trying to get it to work, like 'Windowblinds 7 and aero-ultimate-rc3', but none of that actually allowed my to select aero as a theme, on my desktop preferences.

As for updating the libraries, and/or AutoIt itself, what version of AutoIt should I be running? I just downloaded v3.3.8.1. I'll give that a try. And is there specific files I'm looking for, to update the libraries?

To give further info, the crewbot ran fine, all night long, but its not actually finding the correct mission type. It seems to just click on the very top mission. Which is fine, I was just looking to skill up, anyway.

And trying to get the various other versions of this kind of program working, on Lucky's Open Source Code one, which I think was Breads first version of this program, it logs me into the mission, but the missions doesn't do anything. One time, it seemed to twitch and spasm, but never fired or did anything else.

Ok, adding more info, as I go. (Sigh, I want this to work so bad. Funny how I can take apart and rebuild a dirt bike in the dark, but I can't get this to work.) I downloaded an Aero Windows Theme, for XP, and am using that now. When I try to run the program, using the 'character already logged in' option, it says its looking for world map, and it opens the option window, then just stops. I didn't see a 'world map', in the images folder. I've tried replacing galaxy.bmp and minimap.jpg about 5 times each, and then tried using the original one from Breads folder, just to be sure. Thus far, zero results.

With the added info, any other suggestions I might try? Thank again, guys.

I don't know if you just typed it wrong here or not but your firstcharacter.jpg should be firstchar.jpg.

Ok, a few things CK:

1) If you can't find Aero, you'll have to replace more image captures in your file, and by all the images, I would try replacing every single one. I looked at the image recognition code in Bread's code, and it should work perfectly regardless of XP or Windows 7. That leaves: autoIt, ImageRecognition.DLL. Try to pinpoint what the problem is.

Frankly, I've already given up on getting the image captures to work to log in the game. I just check the "Already Logged In" Feature to test the record/playback function (spacebot still isn't working properly). My reasoning is there is really zero reason to get all the added functionality working if I can't even get the spacebot itself working.

Anyways, I would actually try the beta version of AutoIt (3.3.94) to see if that helps. Also, see this link (even though its for VMWare) to see what libraries you need to update: http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/star...de-vmware.html
Grab a clean install of all those packages.

To those encountering choppiness during playback problems, I think I pinpointed the problem. When recording, the spacebot actually records at far slower intervals than originally intended (4 or 5 ms), instead, I'm getting recordings every 10-20 ms according to the recorded file. Bread, if you're around, have you tried making your record function a bit less clunky (save only right/left clicks, mouse positions, 1234?). I'm implementing the changes as we speak, I'll see what happens.

hit me up on skype, ill try to help if i'm available

and download logmein or teamviewer, cause i need to see what you're looking at

[swtorbot1138]

spent a couple of hours trying to figure this out, and i cant. to date, ive only successfully used the crew bot side of this bot, not the space side. I cant get this bot to recoginize events once in a space mission. everything starts up right, but the bot never finds the event bmp, thus never really starting. it works flawlessly with untzbot, so not sure why i cant run it within bread. problem occurs within a vm or regular client(win7). thoughts?

[UglyObiSecond]

Some more ideas for advancing the functionality

It is obvous that no mission available = companion do not working , or all compnions not working. the idea is - in case no specified mission type , macross sending crewmember to any rich / bountifull mission available on the same level.... Sorry for Ugly code - it is just first attempt I just chek for errors. in game - logic is working, but the rich/bountifull was not recognised(need to change screenshotd for them)

added after following lines ex 5394 and ex 5427

for example of 5394-5400

If $result = 0 Then ;no missions found at all, move on to next companion
	custTooltip("No missions available, moving on to next companion...")
	$compStatus = "Unavailable"
Else ;mission found, click on it
	waitSleep()
	clickRight($x, $y - 20)
EndIf

become

If $result = 0 Then ;no missions found looking for money job
						   custTooltip("No missions available,choose most profitable (if any)...move up")
						   clickLeft($scrollupx, $scrollupy);added new positions for scroll up
						   waitSleep()
						   $result = _imagesearcharea($icbImageDir & "en_rich.bmp", 1, 520, 216, 740, 406, $x, $y, $icbCrewTol);mb error in file naming
							  If $result = 0 Then ;no rich missions found 
								  custTooltip("No RICH missions available...for default")
								  waitSleepLonger()
									 $result = _imagesearcharea($icbImageDir & "en_bounti.bmp", 1, 520, 216, 740, 406, $x, $y, $icbCrewTol)
								 If $result = 0 Then ;no missions found at all, move on to next companion
									 custTooltip("No rich/bounti missions available, moving on to next companion...for default")
									 waitSleepLonger()
									 ;no missions found in first page
									custTooltip("No missions found on first page, scrolling down...")
									;scroll down mission window, see if there's more
									clickLeft($scrolldownx, $scrolldowny)
									waitSleep()
									custTooltip("No missions available,choose most profitable (if any)...")
									$result = _imagesearcharea($icbImageDir & "en_rich.bmp", 1, 520, 216, 740, 406, $x, $y, $icbCrewTol)
									If $result = 0 Then ;no rich missions found 
									custTooltip("No RICH missions available...for choosen lvl")
									waitSleepLonger()
									 $result = _imagesearcharea($icbImageDir & "en_bounti.bmp", 1, 520, 216, 740, 406, $x, $y, $icbCrewTol)
									   If $result = 0 Then ;no missions found at all, move on to next companion
									   custTooltip("No rich/bounti missions available, moving on to next companion...for choosen lvl")
									   waitSleepLonger()
									   $compStatus = "Unavailable"
										Else ;mission found, click on it
										waitSleep()
										clickRight($x, $y - 20)
									   EndIf
									Else ;mission found, click on it
										waitSleep()
										clickRight($x, $y - 20)
									EndIf
								 Else ;mission found, click on it
									 waitSleep()
									 clickRight($x, $y - 20)
								 EndIf
							  Else ;mission found, click on it
								  waitSleep()
								  clickRight($x, $y - 20)
							  EndIf
						Else ;mission found, click on it
							waitSleep()
							clickRight($x, $y - 20)
						EndIf

i dont get it i keep getting error auto it error : line 10 ( file "c:\folder\bread.exe"): error: subscript used with non-array variable.
i dont get these codes...

[icewraithuk]

Anyone had any joy with the Taspan (Imperial) mission of late? Mine doesn't appear to find the green moon and aborts...

[dryballs]

same problem here, some missions work and others never find the starting thing like blue object or ship from the left. I wish i knew how to fix this cause only 3 missions of 6 i can do work

[UglyObiSecond]

Had same problem with Javaal mission. Rerecording solve the problem. Try, but before make backup of original mission script.
PS be shure that screen 800x600 and details VERY LOW. It is really critical for this bot.

Anyone else come back to the computer to see swtor timed out due to inactivity and your character is now in some other part of the ship? So the bot ran it somewhere else and couldn't find the map.

Catch such situation (in my case due to forgetfull to switch to low detail mode).
The problem appear that after specemission being uunrecognised the bot commanding to quit, but mission control still navigating through (looks like specemissionautopilot cant be stopped). As a result - character running around the ship like hell )))).
Catch it twice on Rep10Balosar mission (fear the same for all missions).

[Astonut]

Anyone else having issues with Imperial10Cartel?

I have a perfect recording but when it plays back, I notice it starts the event at different times when the ship is spotted from the right side. Sometimes it picks the ship up as soon as its visible, and sometimes it doesn't pick it up until after its about halfway into the middle of the screen. Thus throwing off the playback by a very large margin. I've tried many different things to correct this and I just can't seem to get it to work properly for that mission.

Also, on the mission Imperial10Saleucami It plays fine, runs the mission fine, but when I try to record my own mission, it never finds the event until after the first 2 bombers you need to destroy are clear and off the screen, which ultimately gives me a failed missions, because Iafter missing the first 2 ships, I can't destroy 5 total.

Any insight would be great.

[UglyObiSecond]

but when I try to record my own mission, it never finds the event

First and again. check that details set to VERY LOW (it is critical)
1) mentioned in beginnig mission Imperial10Cartel for me working fine. at least completed succesfully
2) for recording-keep in moind what bot looking on the screen, mb you just positioned your ship over the key spot...try to load original flyroute and follow in the beginning the same route

Now the bug from me -
Imperial28Taspan,348,124,366,142,Escort 2,Green Moon in Middle,50
doesn't recognised
so i change it to
Imperial28Taspan,120,140,140,160,Escort 2,Yellow Exhaust ,100

but it is strange - recognition does not work with higher tolerance.

PS. Hell . version 368 released.

BredGuy. Is any chance for You to add functions to next release:
1) auto default GUI
2) auto low quality video
3) rich/bountifull mission in case of missed the ordered (blocks from myt post above aer working - checked for 2 days)
4) (just Idea for now) - in case of .... ordered mission available only abundant - bot looking for any higher lvl(or same) rich/bountifull.
5) bug with not stopping space mission (version 366)
