LAZYBOT support thread, Q&A, requests and updates

[jumperu]

ty, i updated the first post to reflect this

[tylen]

..you would also take your mother the last shirt, hm? ;D

its not like that, absolutely different point :\
all i want is to have a possibility to start editing offsets in last working bot version
but i hear only "get the original source and work on it... ah! you're not a programming guy? so forget it and wait untill ppl give you compiled version" like ppl who arent that good at programming cant use visual studio
also im sick of that ppl think like "you're gonna try editing offsets, but its not gonna work. and you will give MY code away to smbd who will jump around and yell thats him who worked on the code that good"

maybe you should learn to esteem other ppl's work. ..be happy that they share the result with you!

nothing changes... bla bla bla....
you just cant get the point of difference between working on offsets when new game patch \ build comes and waiting till you can get ready working bot!

[jumperu]

well, we only have romb0t that is working on a version for the new patch, as far as i know..(there was genecyber also but i haven't heard from him in a while)
as for the sharing of his source, since this is a public bot, it is up to him if he want's to share his hard work, no1 can force him to do that

But to answer your question directly, it was easy to modify the original arutha's source, change the offsets each new patch and have a working bot, that's what i did, no other changes and i didn't need any major knowledge or skillz to do it. However, with this new major patch, we can't do that anymore. Since alot has changed, including most of the spells, we need someone with programming skills to dig deeper into the code and modify what is needed for the bot to function properly. I assure you it is not an easy task.

Patience is the key word here, as i said in the first post, don't rush into things, the eula has changed also to allow blizz to scan outside of wow process, so i urge all of you to be carefull.
It is not worth losing an account or more just for a few days or weeks of botting.

gpl licese mean u MUST publish the modified source or do not use!

[nagymajom]

//it is up to him if he want's to share his hard work, no1 can force him to do that

the gpl licese is. if he write own bot from nothing he can chose the license of bot. but he "just" modify an exiting gpl licensed bot. Arutha made it open source, its the minimum keep it gpl to respect Arutha's work.

[tylen]

before this became offensive,

i do respect hard work that ppl do updating bots
and i didnt mean more than i said before about sharing modified source

[lazyang]

nagy, i don't know if i really got, what u mean, cause i'm not native engl.
arutha didn't share the code while he was working with it, either.
as i know, he made it open source when he got trouble with blizz. and it's still in that way, everybody can download and do what he want with.
the maincode was from him so nobody could make money with it, or sell even as modified version, except maybe donors for his work with the updates.
but nobody can be forced to share his own work, even when the maincode wasn't from him.


maybe somebody could add a kind of warden alert, like other bots have, which notes when W starts to scan your sys and shut down lb or the whole pc.

can you kindly link or paste that part of eula here? i wanted to read the exact wording, but cant find it

[Jaladhjin]

yeah that'd be a pretty ground breaking annoucement..almost as invasive as the screenshots..

This "anti cheating" utility performs limited scans of:
(iii) the Windows Process List to determine if any confirmed hacking or cheating programs are presently open in violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use.

facepalm

[marina_v1]

ty imunreal!

and holly cow!

(ii) the World of Warcraft 'process' to determine if any unauthorized third party programs or
computer code has been attached to the World of Warcraft process; and

(iii) the Windows Process List to determine if any confirmed hacking or cheating programs are
presently open in violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use.

ii) is exactly what LB is doing, attaching to wow process, and by iii) LB is now easily identifiable in win process list.

I might be wrong, but this makes any use of LB a clear and quick path to a ban. I hope developers can find a way around it somehow...

What about using reshacker to change process infos?
