Harvesting bot for Giddeus ? : FFXI General Discussions

Pepper,

Realistically, nothing is too difficult unless you tell yourself it is.

You could sit down with a VB scripting tutorial, and have the fundamental understandings of how and why it's doing whatever it is.. in a matter of a day or two.

And to be honest, a lot of VB reads like english. If the programmer uses decent variable names, you can usually read it out loud, and understand what the chunk of code does.

I honestly think you are capable of at least understanding the language, and editing a few default vaules to make some of these scripts work for your needs.

Granted, in a day or two's time, you aren't gonna be an awesome programmer who can conquer the world.. but you'd be able to get some stuff done that you want to do.

A perfect example: asl18fs's fishing script. he's spent HOURS making that script great. and it is. However, there are still about 4 things you have to configure specifically for your machine, to use even the basic features. The question is: do you want to learn enough to edit the 4 things? Or do you want to tell yourself that you can't, it's too hard, and that you've made a mistake?

I don't know about you, but I live for a challenge, and this sounds like a perfect challenge for me

Give it a try. you've got what it takes to learn the basics, even though you tell yourself you can't.

drkshdw is right. i didnt know anything about scritping when i came here either. i used asl18fs's fishing script to learn a lot about it and eventually i was able to change pretty much anything i wanted. im still not a great programmer but at least its possible to use things.

dont get discouraged. keep on working at it and eventually you'll get anything you want here to work.

Best way to learn VB is by looking at and tinkering with others code.

Some languages you don't wanna even go near without a detailed introduction, but VB is, as it's name shows:

Visual Beginners all-purpose symbolic instruction code


or whatever it is.

It's actually designed to be simple. I mean - look at this, and tell me what it does:




All you really have to look at is the containing stuff.

Basically the if statement goes like:

You can have multiple ElseIf's in the statement.

Basically the tabbed in stuff marks 'sections' of code.



omg it's kinda horrible to explain this lol - so simple, and yet soo evil to explain lol.

thank you guys for your posts, the problem is i dont understand some english words especially the scripting words.... i dont want you to make all things for me, i just wanne try to learn it... but its very difficult for someone who dont really can programm things... and btw my fishing bot is working cause there was a guide for newbies for the fishing bot hehe... anyway i dont wanne give me up and wanne learn more about scripting... i will get my harvesting bot one day hehe

GL with that. If you need any help in the development or error help, come here. I'm sure someone will be able to help you XD

<-- Sucks at scripting but is willing to help if needed....

thank you...

just letting you know there is already a bot out there for this. I can not post a link because i do not want to get in trouble but if you google a little you can find it. It works awsome and works for all areas not just gideus

I presume it's paid for then^^?

I believe you are allowed to post links to non "for profit" sites and stuff, just not other pay-sites (i.e. competitors)

I'm actually working on a fully functioning HELM bot

(the one chris was talking about I think, since I sent him a copy)

Are you going to post it on this site or on yours? I am surpized you don't team up with xunleashed and maybe get a job with them or something, but I really don't know how the job scene works with xunleashed.

There is a reason we allow atti to post graw88. That is all we are saying for now.
