Ok, I did some testing and figured this way is alot better because it doesn't require the game to be active (can be minimized or w/e) so you can play other games or do this collection on multiple accounts at once.
How this works:
It tricks the client into thinking you selected the 3rd Option of the survey popup no matter what option was selected.
How to:
Well if your familiar with patching then here is the simple explanation..
Patch 0x751083 with the following bytes.. \xB8\x02\x00\x00\x00\xC3
If your not so familiar with any of this follow these instructions:
1) Download and Install Cheat Engine v5.4 from
www.heijnen1.demon.nl
2) Start SWG and survey for the resource you want to do and get in position (Pref: 50%+ Concentrate)
3) Make a macro named SampleLoop to do the following:
/sample;
/pause 118;
/ui action defaultButton;
<-- Important for selecting the default option of the popup.
/pause .5;
/stand;
/pause 20;
/whistle
/macro SampleLoop;
4) Start CheatEngine And Select the SWG_Client_r.exe from the process list.
5) Within CheatEngine.. Open the attached cheat config from this post.
6) Tick the box in the CheatEngine list to enable the cheat.
7) Start your SampleLoop macro ingame and now you can minimize it or w/e
SampleResponseCheat.CT PlainText:
(!empty($user->lang['CODE'])) ? $user->lang['CODE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'CODE'))):
[ENABLE]
751083:
mov eax,00000002 //5b
ret
[DISABLE]
751083:
mov eax,[ecx+08] //3b
ret
int 3 //restore original bytes overwritten
int 3
WARNING: Only Enable the cheat when you plan on sampling as it is used for many other things like Travel Destination list, Veteran Rewards, Resource Deeds etc.
If you want an easy way to verify this you can do the following... make a character on a new realm that qualifies for the sorosub veteran reward and try and claim your sorosub , it will always say it will prompt you in a week (3rd option) even though you click the sorosub reward.
You can also verify by going to the starship travel terminal and try and travel to a planet ... you will notice it will always select dathomir (3rd option).
Let me know how it goes
