Need a programmers help please. : EverQuest 2 Premium Discussions

Hello. I have been leveling lately with the help of a few macros. I just use some half homemade macros that are very effective. I pretty much used Akanon's (I think it was Akanon) crafting macro that pushed the 1, 2, and 3 buttons, and messed around and got it to constantly hit 1, 3, 5, 7, at 7.5second intervals, and I just sit there, I run the same thing with my buffs programed in on a 5minute cycle. When one of my combat arts are activated on the KOS mobs I sit myself next to I auto-attack. Pretty nice set up, crude but effective. My big problem is, I owuld like to loot the stuff, I am missing out on some cash. I was hopeing somebody could just write or explain to me a simple macro so that when I kill something I loot it. I use .AU3 files. Thanks!

Errr - probably wasn't mine. My original macro detected & responded to events. Somebody else has now taken over development on the macro - it can be found in confirmed macros.

Austin,

Can you post what macro you use? I'm looking for a KOS bot myself and have yet to find one that is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is the Macro I use for Attacking. And I use another one for Buffing, same thing, just it pushes 8, 9, 0, -, and =, every 30seconds, with a 2min 30second delay between cycles. I am looking to run a third macro that allows me to loot. But I haven't had any luck finding one.

BTW, Nuad is the person who wrote this as a crafting macro. I just went back and looked. I still need help with the Auto-loot Macro. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if you can lock a loot window I spend most of my time at the stove, but if you can you could probably create an ACTools script that would loot everything. I doubt you could do any fancy parsing of the log file with ACTools but you could probably get it to loot all.

Bugger

Thanks bugger, I haven't used any macro programs accept Auto It 3. I wouldn't mind downloading a new one and trying to set everything up, but I am really not very good at this stuff cause I am still a total newb. I am more or less looking for a completed macro, or very specific instructions on how to make one myself. Thanks for the suggestion Bugger.

I doubt you'll find a looting macro because the windows don't always pop up in the same position. Which means you'd have to get something to actually SEARCH the screen pixels for the word 'Loot' or something. A lot more complicated.

If you wanted to do that, you could change the Loot All button to a certain color (#FFFF00 for this example). ACTool has a function to capture the screen and do all future compares (until called again) based on that screen capture. The context above is likely horribly off - I am at work and do not have access to a copy of ACTool to check the online help, but you get the idea.

Ah nice one Akanon. If its so easy to screen capture and scan then you should be able to avoid those resolution problems altogether and get the macro to find the co-ords on the fly couldn't you?

Nazeroth -
Yes, you should be able to use that code with pretty much anything, actually. You would probably not want to use it for everything every time, but it should be fine to run through the first time.
To make this feasable, you would want to trigger it only if you knew that the loot box is up. One idea would be to parse the log for a string saying that your party has killed something, and if it sees that loop through the screen grab until you find the loot box.

Thanks for the script Austin - going to try it tonight!

Factually, the loot box will pop up in the same spot all the time until more than one loot box is opened at once and or some other ui variable is changed. So inside the loot box there is a large section with a specific color, grab the coords for a spot with the color and when it sees the color hit enter. Enter on some custom uis though im not sure about the default ui will loot all.

Chances are that you could also just set all of the unmovable flags for that UI element.

That too. But again, legions of people will come in saying its alignment is off from res differences and what not.
Akanon, are you planning on creating a more advanced bot at some point? Maybe using Xunleashed's program?
