Oh yea - once I can figure out how to get it running I'll write a how-to guide to help get people started.

There are a few things that I cant figure out how to do in VBscript that I can do in autoit, which I find more flexible, so unless someone has a more direct approach im thinking abiut just writing some basic VBscript to write the data to a file every time the primary autoit script request a data update, and that way forwarding all the data to the autoit script.

I find autoit easier to sript in and it has a ton of prebuilt functions allready for manipulating mouse and keyboard, reading pixels checksum ect. Also I cannot find a way for VBscript to create a tooltip overlay, and I use this extensively in my current script to display what the script is "thinking". Does anyone know how to do that in VBS or if its at all possible?

Anyway, i think the data forwarding via some simple txt files should work fine and quick enouhg to not be a problem. Il definately give it a shot as soon as I can just get the sripting service to work.

But since we all (as far as I can tell) are getting the same error when running the scripting service, i guess we're stuck until wyvernx can help us out.

So please wake up soon wyvern hehe... I wanna get started on this! Smile

Sidenote: I wonder if the bugs that cause mobs to display health incorrectly will also report health incorrectly via the memmory offsets, or if its purely a GUI bug in VG... any thoughts on that?

For those with CLSID errors:
This a special exhumehelper.dll that is beta that hasnt been pushed to live yet. Do you will need to delete the exhumehelper.dll, run vgextreme.exe and let it extract the beta dll. THen you can run regsvr32 on it.. or alternately you can place exhume.exe in that folder and it will register the beta file.

Question #1) Do we have to run this in windowed moded? NO, choice is yours.

Question #2) Can we use J-script with yourservice or only VBS? Yes, but the current default loader is for vbs. You nust need to do a File->New and select JS to run JS scritps. Also the included includes/service.vbs will not work with it. You will need to analyze it to get the direct API commands.

Question #3) YOu say we can't over write that file, How do we make our own script? You just cant modify the 1 file in includes/VGService.vbs. You can the other vbs file.

Question4) Does anyone know if there is any examples in it? There are numerous exhume exampples on this site for sendkeys etc.

Request #1) Can you put some examples of what it can do and how do to them in the initial script? THere is a .rar on the site with like 50 sample scripts and demos. There is also tons of scripting documentation on the site.

You mentioned autoit was easier to use. why? So I can add that to this and make it easier to use. There are tons of functions that are included in xum.. see the functions drop down. Just let me know what is missing and I can add it with my plugin or get admin to add it to the helper.

uhmm is there going to be a tutorial on how to set a script like this up because for the life of me I dont know how to use it and if I try it will take many an hour and I will probably piss myself

For those of you who are as dense as I am.

1) Download VGExtreme.
2) Place it in the same directory as Exhume.exe.
3) Delete the Exhumehelper.dll in that directory.
4) Run VGExtreme.exe (This will extract the new Beta DLL for you).
5) Log into eXhume as you normally would.
6) You will see a script openened automagically that is a Demo.
7) Hit F5
Cool

You should be looking at WyvernX's mega cool window populated with the correct data.

Now - go write a script that makes use of it! Wink

Wyvern (or anyone else who has worked with VBscript before), I have a small request.

Can you give me an example code of how to write down a single piece of captured data (say mob health for example) to a .txt file? I just need a little something to get me started desciphering VBscript since Ive never worked with it before Smile

I can figure out how it works from there and later it to meet my spesific needs I am sure.

------------------------------------------

EDIT: I figured out how to do it, so now I have a working bridge between the two different scripting languages.

I have one big hurdle yet to overcome, and I'd appreciate some help figuring it out:

Sometimes the VBscript will try to access a file at the same time as autoit. Normally this will cause a crash in VBscript. Otherwise if i use on error resume next then it keeps running, but the data for that message isnt updated on the file as it should. Obviously neither is acceptable.

So, how the heck do I make VBscript keep trying to access the file if it fails the first time? In autoit this was easy as the fileaccess function simply returned -1 if it got an error, but I don't know if there is anything similar in VBscript?

Help me out guys Wink

Stigma - check out the eXhume samples on the wiki - I believe I posted some file IO samples in both JScript and VBScript.
