[**XHS Record-A-Bot Preview!**]

Well, I dont know about this, but yah Custom hasnt said much, but lately me and Custom have been formulating (and now working on) a new type of bot. Most people who've used bots have known them to only follow that of the script that they are written for. Almost all, with some exception, are dedicated to 1 task, e.g. Mephisto Runs, Pindle Runs, etc. This is all, good, dandy, and nice, but what if you wanted to make your own script for a bot to follow? Well, If you knew what your doing, you could, but hell, how many of you do? Thats why this new bot should be quite exciting. The "bot" or more appropriately named as a "bot-engine" will allow the player, to load the "bot-engine", much like a step by step recorder. The engine will record every step, action, and re-action to a dedicated script file. So basically, you open a game, start the recording, record what you want the bot to do, stop it, the script will be saved, and now you have a customized, working script of your very own for the engine to use whenever, however, and as much as you please. Now now, PEOPLE ARE DYING for a mephisto bot. And thus far, obviously, this bot wont support it FOR NOW. This is due to a fact of which I hope you know, and that is the map of the durance lvl. 2 changes in every game, which obviously wouldnt work with a exact step replicator. This isnt to say we wont end up implementing some special commands later tho to compensate. (Such as using a maphack to determine the specific path to the durance lvl. 3). Thus far, a true title as not been given, but development as began. The bot will consist of two parts, the engine, and the engine "runner", as put in lamens- terms. That is, there will be the module itself that will be run in the first place, inside the game to be recorded, and than a executable, stand-alone, outside the diablo-enviroment, that will launch diablo, log-in, chose the desired character, create a random game under desired settings, and run the pre-created script. (All settings, such as acct. name+ password, character selection number, game settings will be configurable through a INI file, and later a 1-time set up dialog box) I myself have nearly completed the stand-alone executable, as is the easy part. Custom has begun work on the step-recording module, and is making progress. As soon as I am satisfied with my work, I will begin collaborating more extensively on the main core of the bot with Custom. Thus far, we are excited on such a release, and we hope you are too, as we plan to make our XHS team (exclusive to Battle Forums) #1.

P.S. - We hope your looking foward to such a release, and we need your help! Give suggestions, comments, helpful-hints, ideas, title's, you name it, we could use it!

~~Plan on seeing more soon~~

question

If it records, how will it know the items to drop or sell, and when to use potion, or will those things come ready with it?

bot

The bot will use static coding to "know" when to pickup, drop, and use potions, the bot will also include ready to go stashing, and ID'ing (if configured in the INI). Most likely for the pickup, ZoiD's pickit will be used.

Steaksauce-

Yes, that part is already completed, you will only have to click the "Bot.exe", diablo will load through onlyers loader, (along with it, zpickit if its located in your plugins folder), you will automatically login, create a game based on what you configured in the INI, and begin botting

About detecting the same path, this is possible, and also likely, but it also wouldnt be that hard for us to code something along the lines of changing each "walk" value by 1, therefor theoretically changing your walking path ( so it wont have identical packet identities) but since its only by 1 value, you wont even know the difference.

areo,i like your idea about changing the values by one. To keep the paths safe where it doesnt get hung up dont let it like keep adding one becasue that may get off path and run into a wall or something.

and the pickit will automaticlly load with the bot?

Yes, Pickit should load automatically with the bot, that is correct, and the bot will be released soon, but remember this will be the first version, expect tons of changes from than on out. :)

I felt this needed a bump, since I posted it for comments/concerns/questions/ and most importantly SUGGESTIONS, since we want to release this as soon as possible, we really need the aformentioned list from you guys, come on discuss!

Shopbot? Hmm maybe in a later release, because that would really just be a convience thing.... since there is already a stand alone shopbot out there.... So maybe in a later release, as of now, we arent worried about that. :)
