OpenWowBot - Open Source project launch

[OpenWowBot]

Hello everyone,

Maybe some people remember me, I was selling OmegaBot, until my programmer did leave the project.

I release this source code so that this community builds a bot together.
I'm a C# programmer but I don't have the reverse engineering talent for keeping the source updated myself.

Where does this source come from ?
A friend of mine invested much of his time and all of his money to launch ShadowBot with JujuBosc.
They agreed to split profits, then when my friend requested his share of profits, JujuBosc did crook him,
so my friend decided to give out the source so everyone can profit from it, after all he made a good part of it.

My friend belongs to this forum but he doesn't want to tell who he is.
He doesn't want to work on the source anymore.

I will be responsible of hosting the project and protecting it from Blizzard's legal action,
I will not disclose how for obvious security reasons.
It will avoid what happened to OpenBot (well InnerSpace).

The project address is: http://openwowbot.com

I release this source at the condition that this project remains free and opensourced.
Here is the zipped full source: Hotfile.com: One click file hosting

I would like to hear from you about the best way to handle this project.
I was about to setup the SVN using http://launchpad.net/ and Bazaar for code hosting.

Best regards.

Download link does not work.

[OpenWowBot]

Download link updated.

Is this functional?

[OpenWowBot]

Yes it works, but for pre Cataclysm.
The offsets need to be updated and some of the code for a few differences in Cataclysm.

[JuJuBoSc]

after all he made a good part of it.

Make my day so great

Good luck

Need more people like you and your friend, and less greedy people that put out half assed bots full of problems and charge people to beta test them. Thank you.

[OpenWowBot]

Thank you,

I am willing to invest my time and energy for the C# side,
but I just need help to update the reverse engineering part.

Nearly all offsets are on the forum, but I miss some of those:

public enum UIFrame
{

NumGossipOptions = 0x00C016FC, // 3.3.5a 12340

CurrentFrame_Ptr = 0x00B499A8, // 3.3.5a 12340
CurrentFrame_Offset = 0x78, // 3.3.5a 12340

UIBase = 0x00B499A8, // 3.3.5a 12340 lua_GetNumFrames
FirstFrame = 0x0CD4, // 3.3.5a 12340
NextFrame = 0x0CCC, // 3.3.5a 12340

RegionsFirst = 0x214, // 3.3.5a 12340 aGetRegions
RegionsNext = 0x20C, // 3.3.5a 12340

UnkDivWidth = 0x00AC0CB4, // 3.3.5a 12340
UnkDivHeight = 0x00AC0CB8, // 3.3.5a 12340
FrameLeft = 0x68, // 3.3.5a 12340
FrameRight = 0x70, // 3.3.5a 12340
FrameTop = 0x6C, // 3.3.5a 12340
FrameBottom = 0x64, // 3.3.5a 12340
ParentPtr = 0x94, // 3.3.5a 12340
EffectiveScale = 0x7C, // 3.3.5a 12340
Name = 0x1C, // 3.3.5a 12340
LabelText = 0xF4, // 3.3.5a 12340
EditBoxText = 0x2B4, // 3.3.5a 12340
Visible = 0xE0, // 3.3.5a 12340 aIsVisible
Enabled = 0xB4, // 3.3.5a 12340 aIsEnabled
EnabledMask = 0x400, // 3.3.5a 12340 aIsEnabled
AttachmentHasItem = 0x2C8, // 3.5.5a 12340
ButtonChecked = 0x2F5, // 3.5.5a 12340

CooldownStart = 0x29C, // 3.5.5a 12340
CooldownTime = 0x2A0, // 3.5.5a 12340

}

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

eh, I've heard some long time ago (relativly about an Open-Source bot project) don't remember it's name, do you think it's a good idea to create an open-source bot in the first place? I mean if blizzard ever wanted to detect it you are giving it on a silver plate:P good luck with it anyway! it will be great for eduational reasons

[Apoc]

Mmmmm... the copy/pasta is strong with this one.

Lets see...

You've taken my DBC wrapper class.
My FSM engine.
Shynd's memory classes.

And thats only form me looking at ~10 files.

How much of this was actually written by you guys?

[wolfeater2010]

So urm, the Omegabot i paid for....wtf happened....talk about not get your moneysworth...

[OpenWowBot]

Apoc I'd like to say that I have much respect for you,

The part you have concerns with was "done" by jujubosc,
and he is making money of it, so you are welcome to express your concerns but toward him.

I'd be happy to write on my site from where each part of the bot comes, please just tell me.
Remember that I'm the one sharing it, I'm not making money of it, I could have kept the source private.

wolfeater2010 I did payback people who bought Omegabot 1 month before it was closed,
I was the victim as much as my customers of the lazy liar that we had as developer.
I lost money on the project but I will use the structure made to protect from Blizzard to protect OpenWowBot.
Remember that most people used it for up to 8 months for only 15 euros, and jujubosc is charging his 10€ / month !
So I think most people got their money's worth.

[Threk]

I see it >_>
I see the Future, many many new pay bots...

[OpenWowBot]

If I was interested by selling a bot I wouldn't release the full source.
But I think that you are talking about other people.
