Yeah, something like that. Things you do when you're bored.

This is exactly the kind of perversions that turn up once you introduce things like "safe" and "unsafe" code. It gives people a false perception of safety and makes them stop thinking about what they're actually doing.
Made a simple chat protocol with a Server and Client when I was bored.

I had the same idea. But I was not bored xD

Before I started work on navmesh or questing I just had a simple framework and a "lol nav" waypoint-based navigation system. Yet its surprising what you can do with simple waypoint nav and some basic engine functions (CTM, Interact & DoString).
This is my pool-fishing bot, it will follow a "patrol" waypoint list looking for fishing pools in the object manager. If it locates a pool it will look in a list of fishing "spots" which I have manually marked to be within fishing range of each pool spawn point. The bot lands at the designated spot, turns to face the pool and starts casting until the bobber lands in the pool. When the pool vanishes it will return to the patrol route.
Pretty simple really, but it works well enough to fish up the Sea Turtle mount as well as Mr Pinchy's etc. and can even be used for the weekly fishing contests - same code also works well for ground mounts.

Mr.Zunz, the video is from my "version 1.0" which has a list of locations i manually marked where its safe to land and fish each pool spawn point, so the bot just does a CTM on the location i previously marked. I'm looking at using a navmesh in a new version of the tool to look for walkable areas are within range of the fishing pool.
Am I the only one who thought of this way of earning money?
Yes, this actually creates a death knight, logs in, and trades the 20s away to a chosen target character. Funny thing is that the largest bottleneck is waiting for my receiver to load the character into the object list in WoW. I will have to code a clientless receiver bot as well to remove that.
Yes, this is a private server. I still need to emulate the Battle.NET login, but after that everything else will already work. It might be a little slower when going over the network, but coding a clientless receiver will counter that new bottleneck.
It earns a stable 120g/h without any server economy inflation. It's also very stable and very easy to add more accounts.

I had actually botted a ton of gnomes back in the day to see how much gold I could make a day off of the beginning area (From level 1-6). Lets just say it wasn't very much![]()
A small editor for the behaviour tree we're using on our bot. Written with Python and QT.
Behaviours act like plugins in a subfolder, write a behaviour, place it in behaviours folder and good to go. Ugly, simple and functional
