Auction House Bot (weapon damage support!)

[seafunk]

I made this Bot specifically for buying out weapons on the gold AH. It allows you to enter a minimum weapon damage and/or a damage gap to the second highest dps weapon found.

-It is best to run this on a VirtualMachine, so you can still use your pc
-AutoHotkey needs to be installed
-D3 Brightness/contrast/gamme needs to be set to the standard values
-D3 needs to run in Fullscreen Windowed
-Desktop resolution needs to be set to 1280x720

-Download the *.txt file and rename it to *.rar
-Extract the *.rar to any folder
-Start the Script
-Switch to your D3 client
-Enter the Auction house and choose a weapon category
-Enter your search parameters
-START the Bot with Num+
-Enter your desired minimum weapon damage (0 if you want to use damage gap only) and press enter
-Enter your desired minimum damage gap (0 if you want to use absolute minimum damage only) and press enter
-PAUSE with the Pause key

The bot will check the topmost weapon found (the one with the highest dps), check if it is within your desired DPS range and how big the gap to the 2nd weapon is, e.g.:

Minimum Damage: 1000
Minimum Damage Gap: 100
The bot will buy out the first weapon IF it is above 1000dps AND if the second weapon is 100DPS below the first.

Minimum Damage: 0
Minimum Damage Gap: 100
The bot will buy out the first weapon IF it is at least 100DPS more powerful than the second weapon.

Minimum Damage: 1000
Minimum Damage Gap: 0
The bot will buy out the first weapon IF it is above 1000dps.

Auction Bot WeapDmg 1.11.txt

EDIT: Version 1.1 also asks for a price limit. It will enter the price and add 1000g during the first search, 2000g during the second, until it reaches 0 again during the 10th search. This is to avoid being presented cached results instead of freshly updated results.

EDIT: 1.1 had a major bug. I specified the wrong search area for image recognition. The start/end > coordinates were off by 1 pixel each.
1.11 is working flawlessly again. SORRY about the ****up earlier!

I'd urge anyone who had trouble with this to dl again. If you can find this line in your script, you've had the bugged version:
ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, 793, 210, 795, 218, *15 1s.bmp

1.11 is also searching in backwards in 500 steps of 10 instead of forward for 10 steps of 1000 each. This should avoid getting cached results and instead read fresh search results every 2secs or so.

nevermind ill give it a shot

Damnit! having the same problem with this one... can't seem to get these bots to buy items. Looks like you did a great job with it though if only i could get it to function properly

[seafunk]

Really odd, it works smooth for me. If I can think of something while I'm gone (for the next 18h or so) I'll let you know!!

Works fine but its only searching cached results, you need to set it to change the buyout after every search.
For example if you could set it to start buyout at 100,000 and add 1000 for every search up untill say 140,000, then have it reset the buyout back down to 100,000 and repeat.

--This would refresh the search results so we wont be viewing cached results for most of the time.

Apart from that its working fine and thanks for sharing

Ooooh I see. That's probably why I haven't found anything as of yet lol. Sigh... I'll get that done! Don't think I'll have time before tonight or tomorrow morning though. Thanks for the info!

Okay added. Steps of 1000 with each search. Are you sure steps of 1 wouldn't be sufficient? I really gotta pick up my daughter now!!! Baibai

Steps of 1 would work fine, but I find it would look very bottish.
Up to you really I doubt it makes much of a difference

Anyways thanks alot +Rep

Ciano1 looks bottish to whom? Do you have ghosts watching you play your games?

No one can see you play....

To blizz ofcourse,
Blizz have been cracking down on AH bots (even autoit scripts have been caught) and no one can be sure how they are detecting them.
All im saying is that steps of 1 is very strange because its so unrealistic.

On another note iv'e edited it to go up in steps of 100 and made it cycle 200 times instead of 10.
The problem with only having 10 steps per cycle is that the searches are still cached by the time you loop back around.
For example when I first searched at 152,000 I get the same result on my second search of 152,000. Searches are cached for a couple of minutes so I recommend extending the cycle and reducing the steps from 1000 to whatever you feel

We have been testing this script with multiple people and setups.

The MinDmg function doesn't work properly. For example if you use MinDmg 15, while there are items listed with 15 and above it doesn't purchase them!
We tested the MinDmgGap seperately and didn't work either.

MinDmg Value = 0 and MinDmgGap Value = 0 will purchase first item listed.

Looks like it has something to do with the ImageSearch function!

well i think farming is better than this kind of bots

I will rework the stepping once my daughter is in bed. And despite your hunch that this might look suspicious, I will use 250 steps of 10. Hope that avoids getting results from cache altogether.
