[AutoIt] SGather Vashj'ir mountfix

[herpderp999]

As of the release of patch 4.0.6, this fix is now obsolete. You can now mount up normally while standing on the ocean floor.

Hi. This is something I wrote a few weeks ago. Since I'm not using it much, I might just as well share it.

.exe download

Source:

$wowTitle = "World of Warcraft"
$sGatherTitle = "Nodes :"
$sGatherMountErrorRegex = "\[BOT\] Mount failed, try unstuck ...\s*\[UNSTUCK\] Let's turn !\s*$"
$_keyDownDelay = 0.5 * 1000

While 1
	If WinExists($sGatherTitle) Then
		$sGatherText = ControlGetText("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.378734a]","","[CLASS:WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.378734a; INSTANCE:1]")
		If StringRegExp ($sGatherText, $sGatherMountErrorRegex) Then
			If WinExists($wowTitle) Then
				AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDownDelay", $_keyDownDelay) 
				ControlSend ($wowTitle, "", "", "{SPACE}", 0)
				Sleep(10 * 1000)
			EndIf
		EndIf
	EndIf
	Sleep(1 * 1000)
WEnd

Note: you will have to run AutoIt (or the compiled .exe) as Admin if you are running SGather as Admin. Also, you need to select the Abyssal Seahorse mount in SGather before starting up your favorite Vashj'ir profile and this script.

The script periodically checks the SGather log window for "mount failed" messages and swims up (space bar, change it in the source if your keybindings vary) if it encounters any.

will try it

for me this works the first time and then doesn't work again

Doesn´t work for me

If you run the script from SciTE, make sure to also start SciTE as Admin. If you use the standalone .exe, make sure to start it as Admin as well and be aware that the script will be paused if you click on the autoit button in the task bar (to resume, uncheck the "Script paused" option in the context menu that pops up if you do).

Apart from that, I'm not sure what could go wrong there. I've been using this for several hours without issues with both, SGather 1.0.3 and 1.0.4. You might try increasing the value for $_keyDownDelay.

I can´t uncheck "Script paused", it just puts the tick back in there...
what´s wrong here?

[herpderp999]

Every time you (left or right) click on the task bar icon, the script will be paused again. Just don't click on it at all unless you want to exit the script or if you do, click on the "Script paused" option once and then don't touch the icon again. The task bar icon will change between the AutoIT icon and a red X if the script is paused, if the icon is static the script is running (such as right after starting the .exe as Admin and not touching the task bar icon at all). Don't ask me why AutoIT chose this approach, it's not really intuitive indeed.

Doh >.<
my fail, thanks a lot

I reworked herpderp999's script a bit because Sgather's window and controls often get different class id's after restarting the computer. This version uses the window title and control name instead of class ids. Also it notes the mountfix use in the bots log.

$wowWindowTitle = "World of Warcraft"
$sGatherWindowTitle = "Nodes :"
$SGatherLogControl = "[NAME:Logs; INSTANCE:1]"
$sGatherMountErrorRegex = "\[BOT\] Mount failed, try unstuck ...\s*\[UNSTUCK\] Let's turn !\s*$"
$sGatherMountFixMessage = "injected Vashjr mountfix (spacebar) to WoW" & @CRLF;

AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDownDelay", 500)

While 1
	If WinExists($sGatherWindowTitle) Then
		$sGatherLogText = ControlGetText($sGatherWindowTitle,"",$SGatherLogControl)
		If StringRegExp ($sGatherLogText, $sGatherMountErrorRegex) Then
			If WinExists($wowWindowTitle) Then
				ControlSend ($wowWindowTitle, "", "", "{SPACE}", 0)
				ControlSetText($sGatherWindowTitle, "", $SGatherLogControl, $sGatherLogText & $sGatherMountFixMessage)
				Sleep(10 * 1000)
			EndIf
		EndIf
	EndIf
	Sleep(1 * 1000)
WEnd

Thanks for the patch. Strange that the window ID has remained static for me so far even across SGather versions (worked with 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 for me) :o. Also, I'm fairly certain that I did restart my PC in the last few weeks. The more generic the better of course :).

I actually worked on the script a bit more last weekend adding some other functionality and usability as well. It now has some basic "disconnection detection" with a Wow+SGather restart mechanism with autologin, also options to resize Wow and forcing it to be on top of other windows (SGather randomly stops doing anything for me when Wow is running in the background, regardless of windowed mode; could also easily add a detection for this, e. g. "Log window doesn't change for X minutes"). Of course it also has a GUI to set things up or to disable certain features. Will probably add some kind of scheduling for unattended sessions as well (e. g. stop after X hours, resume after Y hours etc.). When and if I feel that this "SGather helper" app is ready to be publicly released, you'll read it on this forum.

Thanks for this Enjoy your +5 rep

[davidbasara]

could you link the script required to stop and start after so many hours??? i want to go to my girlfriends house for the weekend and leave it running the whole time and have it auto log in and start mining/herbing while im away

[herpderp999]

I didn't touch the script since I wrote the last post. So it's unfinished.

[herpderp999]

With 4.0.6 this is now obsolete, since, as was to be expected, you can now mount up while standing on the ocean floor. I still intend to release the "Helper" app I mentioned two posts ago when I have time to spare.
