LUA Auto Login [the final solution]

[mnbvc]

i had to work my auto login stuff over because i finally needed support for different accs on 1 bnet acc
and because i often see shitty auto login lua codes in this forum, i think it could be useful for some people, so i'm posting this here

- supports multiple wow accs on one bnet acc
- changes realm if necessary
- can simply be spam executed in an endscene hook via dostring/framescript_execute until your character is online, no need for any timers or additional ifs

string login =	"if (WoWAccountSelectDialog and WoWAccountSelectDialog:IsShown()) then "
				"for i = 0, GetNumGameAccounts() do "
					"if GetGameAccountInfo(i) == '" + accname + "' then "
						"WoWAccountSelect_SelectAccount(i) "
					"end "
				"end "
			"elseif (AccountLoginUI and AccountLoginUI:IsVisible()) then "
				"DefaultServerLogin('" + username + "', '" + password + "') "
				"AccountLoginUI:Hide() "
			"elseif (RealmList and RealmList:IsVisible()) then "
				"for i = 1, select('#',GetRealmCategories()) do "
					"for j = 1, GetNumRealms(i) do "
						"if GetRealmInfo(i, j) == '" + realm + "' then "
							"RealmList:Hide() "
							"ChangeRealm(i, j) "
						"end "
					"end "
				"end "
			"elseif (CharacterSelectUI and CharacterSelectUI:IsVisible()) then "
				"if GetServerName() ~= '"+ realm + "' and (not RealmList or not RealmList:IsVisible()) then "
					"RequestRealmList(1) "
				"else "
					"for i = 0,GetNumCharacters() do "
						"if (GetCharacterInfo(i) == '" + name + "') then "
							"CharacterSelect_SelectCharacter(i) "
							"EnterWorld() "
						"end "
					"end "
				"end "
			"end ";

username = your bnet login
password = ...
accname = your "sub account", if any
name = character name
realm = your characters realm


i don't think that i missed something, but if it spits out an error let me know
but only lua errors, if your app crashes then you ****ed up your own code, it's not an error in this lua code, and i don't care

Ceterum censeo, I still think this stuff needs to be properly wrapped. Just my 2c.

I agree, this just looks too unmanageable. Say you want it to create a character if there is no characters or perhaps delete a character.

Finally I get that Stephen Lynch reference. Thank you very much.

if you want to make it a little bit extra difficult, then you can ofc wrap it
that's the same thing like wrapping combat rotation stuff, just unnecessary, because as a lua script it's just so easy

sry, i'm currently not creating tons of lvl 1 chars and teleporting into a city to write a text, thus i never wanted to create a char automatically, but it's really no big problem to add this

nazi reference != nazi comparison

anyways one should learn from past mistakes, there shalt be no final solutions, never again!

hopefully you've spotted the invisible irony tags by now
and thanks for the copy pasta, yummy edit: (I'm refering to people copying your work now, just to make that one clear, I really appriciate your work )

Thanks for this, using it in my relogger/autologger.
One thing I noticed that it doesn't work for characters names that doesn't use standard ANSI etc á,û,é. This is because lua doesn't really work that well with Unicode. to get around that I just use the character slot number instead of name etc CharacterSelect_SelectCharacter("+slot.ToString() +")"

Also I have one problem. it sometimes causes the "character not found" popup to show, if I click that it than continues the login process. Is there a way to autoclick that or change the code so it doesn't show? I looked for any reference to the popup in blizzards UI files but couldn't find any.

Are you trying to say there should never be NO final solution; Suggesting that we need a final solution? Or that there should be no final solutions, never again "shall we try creating and employing a final solution"?

If it's the latter, don't word your sentences idiotically.

Sounds like you need a final solution to all these final solutions...

didn't work on 4.0.3

I highly doubt that the lua usage of these commands have changed.

i enter code in .lua file, got DC and script nothing do

or i wrong use it?

As you put it, you "wrong use it". As the original poster wrote: "- can simply be spam executed in an endscene hook via dostring/framescript_execute until your character is online, no need for any timers or additional ifs ". It does help to read about what you're using first before you dive in.

[mnbvc]

beside the fact that you are definitely doing it wrong there did indeed change something :P
if you join a server with no char on it you will automatically see the char create gui since 4.x.x and the script will stop doing anything
insert this before the last "end" to fix it:

"elseif (CharCreateRandomizeButton and CharCreateRandomizeButton:IsVisible()) then "
	"CharacterCreate_Back() "
