I have done major debugging and alterations to this excellent code from Retsek, I have no intention of stealing his thunder, he did a great job but I wanted it to work faster and smoother and do more. I chose his script to start with cause it was so well written, such clean code... a perfect start. Now that I have this new version I wonder what to do with it.

I can just use it myself and give it to friends but would love to make it available to a broader base if Retsek has no issues with that. Here are a few things I've done.

Major code optimization and many bug fixes (most not very obvious)
Removed the 'twitching' problem.
Removed the long delay before starting to harvest or move problem (99%)
Removed hotbar usage for both harvesting and casting buffs (no setup on toon needed any more)
Added key configuration to ini file
Removed hotkey config in ini file

I'm still working on further improvements but it is ready for distribution pretty much any time. Rasek please let me know what you would like me to do. None of your credit in the comments have been or will be removed.

Feel free to post it anytime. If it runs smoother etc... then thats great. Warning though on NOT using hotbars. If you are using the "/useability mining" etc... that is so easily detectable when done often enough it will get you banned in a hurry.

If you are using the "use" function IE default action for whatever is centered in your screen I'd like to see it ... =)

It does use /useability but I don't see that as an issue, anyone who has written legit macros to harvest would use /useability so if asked why use that you simply say you wrote EQII macros for it as provided by SOE. I see no issue with that, if others do they can use your version.

Anxious to see your script =) Only suggestion I have is have it use a different INI filename so that people can mess around with either script and not have conflicts.

Soon as the eq2service is back in gear will look forward to checking yours out.

Ok, hopefully I didn't leave in any silly bugs, here's the URL. Register to unlock hidden link

Please keep the option for those of us (me) that dont want to use the /useablility command. Having been through many games banning players using macros, this is something that I do not recommend and will continue using hotbars.

Ok, the hotbar option has been readded as an option for those that want it, any other requests or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Retsek, what do you think of the new script? I called it HarvestBot.2.02 to avoid conflict or confusion with your bot and would love to hear what you think of it.

This is my first attempt at VB programming and you made it possible with your excellent clean code. Thanks Retsek for a job VERY well done!


NOTE: if you downloaded 2.01 please redownload 2.02, there was a bug in the previous version!
