LAZYBOT support thread, Q&A, requests and updates

[lazyang]

I didnt think wow operated in 64bit? Its always runs 32bit? Its installed in X86 program files, and under my running processes it shows wow as x86.
My windows itself is 64bit. Also, i run both LB and WoW as administrator. Still, It does not find any game to attach the process to?



EDIT,,,, im a newb,




thanks!

some pages before is explained, how to start the wow client in 32bit.
i'm to tired to look for, just use the search -button

i only start lb as admin, wow works fine as guest/user.

Hi Thanks for your time and effort.

Thare is any chance to get the link to download the latest know working setup for the bot? i have a 5.2 old version, I try to delete the update .exe and still cant make it to work

thanks in advance

[lazyang]

Well I may as well introduce myself with everything going on, My name is AlmostEpic (some of you may remember me as the person who posted the list of serial codes for LazyBot after RageHunter had added the registration forms to the bot and his server stopped working.) I am currently partnered with Charles420 in the creation of the newest version of LazyBot. I have mainly kept myself quiet on here to keep the questions etc to a minimum while I help with the bot and but I am more than happy to help when I can. The SVN server with updated source code will be made public for pulling the newest versions of the source as soon as I get a new copy of the most recent work from Charles.

The reason that I believe that the source should be released is because of the copyright notice (see below) that is included in the original source of pretty much every file of Arutha's (original creator of LazyBot). The bot was released under the GNU License which clearly states that all derivative work and the original source itself must be obtainable. It's a "free" source, which does not necessarily mean free price wise (which at this point this bot is) but more along the terms of freedom of information, and to freely modify and change the bot as you see fit. I believe that RageHunter should have respected this copyright notice in the first place and should have been releasing the source for LazyEvo but alas there is no way to enforce the copyright on this program.

To put it out there now though, I am sad to see RageHunter go as well, he is a very good developer and it would have been really nice to work with him on the bot instead of having to start from the original source, but if he feels that he can no longer work on the bot that is his decision and I will personally respect that. I will do my best to keep up to date on keeping up with posts on here and Jumperu knows how to contact me if there is something that needs to be answered if I can help in any way.

Like I said the SVN source will be put up soon and either Charles420 or I will be uploading a downloadable binary copy of the bot here soon. Until then feel free to continue using RageHunter's bot and enjoy Warcraft

i really appreciate that you work/want work at LB.

Ragehunter did it a long time and shared his updates to the comm.
even if he don't want anymore because he's tired of or whatever.
i can't agree in some points with you.

either version 3 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.

means for me, that you can share your modifications, but you don't need.

It's a "free" source, which does not necessarily mean free price wise (which at this point this bot is)

the orig source is still free and i can't get what you mean with.
Rage never took any payments for his work.
so pls don't let it seem like this.
and as i've seen he shared some parts of his modifications with us. (correct me if i'm wrong)

i personally share his doubts in some points concerning to make the actually whole source public,
even if it helps to keep LB alive.
for sure blizz will pay more attention to lb, if every weekendprogrammer (and i don't mean it generell bad like it sounds)
will use it for some modifications.
and i'm sure a lot of them will do and try to sell her *tool* in div. forums.
they just don't do actually, because they are not able to bring the old source at the actually stand (?).
or don't know about..but they will!

think till now it was fine like it is.
ok, lb is still in the old condition but alive and more safe than all other bots i know.
i think he should stay here in the comm, everybody who want can get it here.
at this point a big THANKS at Jumperu that he opened and cared this thread, held the comm together!

i doubt that all the new *user* of the source will spread her work
and you will not know which modification you can trust.
i'm also bit afraid, that this comm here could fall into parts.

so, hope you don't get me wrong.
the idea to spread the source isn't generally bad but maybe it's possible to spread it at some old comm member
which will watch on it and make it avaiable to trustful ppl.

or maybe another solution?

..it's just my opinion and sorry for the partially bad english, hope it's understandably

either version 3 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.

means for me, that you can share your modifications, but you don't need.

What that technically means is either version 3 of the GNU Open Source license or any newer version of the GNU Open Source License (which version 3 is the newest version still).

It's a "free" source, which does not necessarily mean free price wise (which at this point this bot is)

the orig source is still free and i can't get what you mean with.
Rage never took any payments for his work.
so pls don't let it seem like this.
and as i've seen he shared some parts of his modifications with us. (correct me if i'm wrong)

What I mean by a free source was not trying to indicate that Charles or myself will ever charge for LB. It was released for free and will remain that way (although at some point in the future we may decide to accept donations for the time put into it, but it will never be mandatory to pay for LB releases from us). I mean that in the spirit of the GNU Open Source license that this program should be released as open source. As for Rage never taking payments, to the best of my knowledge he never did, but also as far as I know he never once revealed any of his source for any part of his modifications.

for sure blizz will pay more attention to lb, if every weekend programmer (and i don't mean it generell bad like it sounds)
will use it for some modifications.
and i'm sure a lot of them will do and try to sell her *tool* in div. forums.
they just don't do actually, because they are not able to bring the old source at the actually stand (?).
or don't know about..but they will!

As far as blizz is concerned I am sure they are paying attention to LazyBot even if we were to leave the source as closed source or not. Yes it does give them the potential to see what offsets we are reading etc. but they could do that within minutes of having a closed source copy of the bot as well since it is programmed with .net.

As for people who decide to program and add more to the bot if they do decide to charge for the bot that is for them to decide, according to the GNU Open Source license anyone has the right to make modifications to the program (like Charles and I are doing) and if they decide to, they can charge for it. That is essentially the backbone of the open source license, freedom to do with the program as you choose as long as you do not break the copyright agreement of the GNU Open Source license.

think till now it was fine like it is.
ok, lb is still in the old condition but alive and more safe than all other bots i know.
i think he should stay here in the comm, everybody who want can get it here.
at this point a big THANKS at Jumperu that he opened and cared this thread, held the comm together!

I agree that everyone should be able to get it here, and if someone decides to re-release the bot somewhere else I would hope they have the respect to post a link back to here to show credit where credit is due. Also I agree on the big thank you to Jumperu! He has been a very big part of this community and I believe without him LB would probably have died long ago.

i doubt that all the new *user* of the source will spread her work
and you will not know which modification you can trust.
i'm also bit afraid, that this comm here could fall into parts.

I agree that people should be very cautious when downloading anything from the internet especially a bot for World of Warcraft. You should always make sure to trust the source of what your downloading, and I believe that it comes down to the user to make sure they trust the place they are downloading before doing so. But I believe the community here will not fall apart because of this but will become larger and stronger by having an open source platform to develop for. If a programmer decides he wants to add a feature to the bot and finds it helpful then they are encouraged to share that source. And if Charles or I find it to be something everyone wants we can then include it into the Official copy of the bot that is released here. By going this route we could then have potentially a large number of people helping with this bot instead of just 1 or 2 people. This will allow updates, bug fixes, and new features to be released quickly and effectively!

..it's just my opinion and sorry for the partially bad english, hope it's understandably

I understood it all quite well, no need to apologize I understand that not all users of this forum are native english speakers. and thank you very much for your opinion. I am always open to opinions, discussions, questions, debates, suggestions, etc!

[AlmostEpic]

Well here it is guys, the first official release of Charles420, and I's Lazy Bot Revolution!

As soon as Jumperu is online I'll ask him to place the link on the front page. I am going to start working on an Auto Updater. Now remember this bot will work from now until around 1AM EST because tonight they are releasing patch 5.4.2 and the offsets are going to change *sad face* but we will be updating offsets as quickly as possible and have a new version out as soon as possible. So if you do see this and patch 5.4.2 is not released yet feel free to try it out and let us know if you find any bugs.

almostepic there is something wrong with your download link .. click it and run the .exe file and it installs a downloader that wants to add toolbars etc change your search... can this be fixed? and thank you very much for your time and also for charles420 ...

[gav]

edit: im up for any help that i can

[tylen]

I'm not really sure what caused the toolbar downloader, maybe you didn't click the right download button on the page that is linked? I'm on a cell phone right now and my internet is down right now which I believe is because of a local outage but as soon as it's back up I'll be helping to work on getting it updated as well, so I'll be on as soon as I can Charles. Also I hope you were able to figure out those two bug fixes I finished up last night after you and Jumperu went offline.

[jumperu]

Yea, everything works ok in the version you posted....i will link it in the first post as soon as it's updated for 5.2, tomorrow after patch hits EU too.

Probably he clicked on an add or something, i downloaded the zip without any issues.

ps: watch out

[charles420]

thats nuts jumperu

[tylen]

Worst case scenario: Drunk Santa gets home, fails at launcing LazyBot correctly, posts how much he loves us all here with CAPS

[AlmostEpic]

Hey guys just a quick update, Charles420 and I are very close to having the bot up and running again. Only a few more pointers/offsets to find and plug in to the bot. Should be up within 24 hours but don't quote me on that lol. Takes some time to find all these pointers lol.

*chomping his nails*

[AlmostEpic]

Here is the first release of Lazy Bot Revolution for WoW patch 5.4.2.

There are still a few bugs to work out this is not working completely. The combat engine is having issues with IsSpellReady so if you have this in your combat profile be aware the bot may try to cast the same spell over and over, also need to test HasBuff in combat profiles to see if that is working correctly or not. Other than that things have looked good on our end but allowing you guys to test and watch for bugs will help us find them quicker!

If you find any other bugs please post them here so that we can work out all of the issues and get a 100% working bot out for you guys.

(Make sure to click the correct download button, MediaFire has a tendency to have advertisements that look like a download button).
