Its not about technique you made bot with, its about hiding it afterwards. PID, window title, folder, file names etc.
thanks for your thoughts. Can you please share some approach to achieve this kind of safety? I am asking because my bot is now in a version that I would love to release but therefore I want to make it safe. At the moment it runs on the official server without any incident but when I release this I want to make sure that is as safe as possible.
I saw that someone are running those programs as "protected processes" - is this the way I should do it?
Is it an approach to just name the window title at the beginning something random? Do I have to give anybody that is running the bot another foldername or filenames for my profiles and paths?
I am looking forward to get your thoughts. Thanks in advance

Hello,
thank you for this guide! i´m working on my own scripts but I'm not sure how to hide the bot from WOW. I have been using other bots successfully for some time via VM's and remote desktop interaction. But here I simply can't manage to read the data via RDP. I think RDP is too slow. Do any of you have an idea how best to hide the bot from WOW?

Add "SHADOWGLEN" to the list of hearthstone locations in DataToColor.lua. The list is on line 89 in the file.

Abromide,
I want to thank you for your contribution to the community, I also want to tell you that I found your code extremely well written, beautiful to read (GitHub - MicahRCM/Happy-Pixels: Learn how to develop a WoW Bot).
Going for the purpose of my contact, I'm a Python programmer, I don't know much about C # and I have basic LUA knowledge.
A while ago I tried to use PYMEM (lib-Python) to access the memory of the wow client is to collect some data, however I was not very successful, the knowledge in pointers tends to be a level that I do not have and unfortunately my work does not let me time to study other languages.
I would like to know if in your code there is any function ready to capture combat_log or something that comes close to that.
I thank you for your time dedicated to answering me.

You can hook the addon to the combat log and extend the addon to show additional squares with colors depending on what info you want to capture. You can check out guides (https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Event_API and Events/Combat | WoWWiki | Fandom) to see how the addon can react to events in the combat log.
Is there anything in particular you want to read? I am also in the middle of writing a Python bot inspired by the guide here. We can perhaps share some ideas.

does anyone know why the DataToColor Addon is no more working? I think since TBC. No error message, the Frames are just not created for me

Same problem, I tried changing the interface number in the toc file but it still isn't working. If anyone has a soultion would be appreciated.

SetBackdrop is a function that was removed from the default object around 9.0 -- it is still accessable but you have to derive your object from a different object. If you search on the internet there is more information about the issue -- it broke a lot of addons when they made the change.

the fix for this error is going to the the datatocolor.lua
and go to line 339, push the f.setbackdrop down one line and add this if statemnt before that object is created in the funtion
"
if not f.SetBackdrop then
Mixin(f, BackdropTemplateMixin)
end
