RwBot - Real WoW Botting Guide/Review

[rafalsk]

Post comes from RwBot.com: Source here

Hey guys,

It has been quite some time since the first release of RwBot, not? ; ]
Well, actually we feel like its quite a good time to add a kind of Hot, New Feature into RW, don't you think?
Well, I bet you do. A new PVP mode sounds like one of those.

Well.. please allow me for some small clarification, first.

We have never rushed with adding PVP Mode into RW and there are a couple of good reasons behind being so.

First and the most important to us is SECURITY. We believe that adding PVP into any kind of bot ,is the most responsible part of its coding. After all it's going to be , face to face, with, lots of players - AND, what is more, it shall not be spotted as a running washing machine, so to say.

I think you get my point. Another reason was our philosophy, that we never wanted to spoil someones else gameplay. We've always believed that automating gathering ,mob killing ,fishing and other kind of BORING stuff is perfectly fine with our morals ,all the way to California. Well, PVP is actually a constant interaction with other players (yeah, I think I've already said that).

Final reason is the required bots stability. Well, it seems like, it has been long since we've achieved a VERY GOOD level of bots stability, there are no tickets conserning bots shutting down unexpectedly etc.

So.... Here is the thread in which you can let us know, how would you like to see PVP implemented into RW, what kind of features, etc. any good, and little worse; ] ideas are gladly welcome.

And once again, we will not rush with it, but when we actually sit down and begin to code, these ideas WILL BE taken into account.

Hello guys,

First of all, happy summer holidays to all of you :-)

Here are the tweaks we've included today:

+ improved waypoint-navigation mechanics, so to make your character look even more human-like
+ tweaked the fishing mechanics, so it now includes some random delays etc, the reason being same as above
+ Updated the RwBot Profile Developers Guide available here
+some minor tweaks

These are mostly in response to your suggestions&requests at our forums.

So as always, thank you for all the feedback, keep us posted and stay tuned for more to come.

Does this bot grind bg's and not get reported 24/7? =) I used to use pirox and it grinded like a champ

[johnyx]

They haven't added BG support yet, from what they say it's on the way.

The 2.9 Update is related mainly to Skinning...

+ New Hot feature: Ninja Skinning - if checked, RW attempts to gather any skinnable corpse in sight.
+ if you manually change the min-level value, RW would not attempt to adjust it after relog and/or as it levels along.
+ lots of other skinning related improvements

Whole work behind this update was inspired by Parkinson, to whom flies a plate of ,tasty, just baked cookies.

Hey there,
Some of you have informed of of possible bugs in the latest release which had to do mainly with the 'stuck-thing' as well as the inability
to resurect after death. We're trying to adress this issue asap and the result is a preliminary hot-fix already available through the auto-update.
Please keep us informed Thanks.

[johnyx]

Looks they already got some auto AH profiles up and running

Great work.

Hey Guys, how are your hollidays
Today's update includes following bug-fixes (most of which, were reported by you on our forums, and so there was a lot a cookies to bake ;] )
+ Fixed a bug, where RW would attempt to ninja-skin a mob, even while NS feature not enabled. (Thanks to PanHexo)
+ Global unstuck mechanics would not react if on a long SleepIt command. (Thanks to reiscar7).
+ LoopUntillTextFound command would not work (used heavilly in some questing profiles). (Thanks to Armoredvault)
+ We've 'loosened' the Gobal Unstuck detection. (Thanks to Armoredvault)
+ In some cases RW would not release all of the keys after death. (Thanks to reiscar7)
some other minor fix.
This is an preliminary update. Another one is on the way.

Quick question for you, does RwBot fully support questing? If so will it be ready for MoP on 25 Sept?

[rafalsk]

RW does fully support questing profiles and it shall surely be ready for MoP , just like for every other patch.

I would like you to know that RwBot implements a scripting language, based on Pirox (the bot), file format, which can be used to accomplish various tasks; such as questing, multi file-profiles etc.
It is documented in here
Should you have any further, specific inqerious, I shall point you to our forums, where further assitance might await you.
