Vanguard Bot - VGExtreme Scritping Service : VGExtreme General Discussion

[sinshar]

Wyvern, is there any way to keep it from losing connection to VGE? It seems I have to restart VGE after 5 mins or so to get it to work.

Better yet...is there a way to tell if VGE is logged in? That way I can have my app launch it and wait for login before it creates the wrapper object.

BTW...the radar in C# is gonna be WAY faster...and the transforms are sooo easy in .NET Now if I can remember how to set the transparent bit and still have winform controls receive events....

Isn't the transparent bit a form property?
I belive you need to set the background transparency Color to whatever you want to be transparent.Then again, i'm just jumping into the topic heheh

sinshar, yea I have it already fixed in the next version. but i'm on vacation until tues. i'll post it tues.

I also fixed the bug with com objects for autoit and such accessing it.

tault_stigma, yea I'm on vacation until tues, but i'll have a post for you on tues that has a working autoit solution. Only bug I have right now.. is you have to place vge in the autoit folder. I'm working on a way round it, but i'll still release the version on tues so you can atleast play with it.

Hey sinshar... making it transparent is easy My problem is having the controls stay active once the form is transparent.

Thank you!
Since its allready tuesday, I suppose I will be stalking the forums today like a hungry panther then haha

Damn, its gonna be nice to be finally able to use memmory locs. Can't wait!

EDIT: And one small request please, can you include an example of how to run atleast one VGE imported function inside the autoit script? I am still a little unclear on how exactly you import these objects into autoit, so please include a basic example

stig, give me about 5 hours to post the 1.9 update.

I will post a sample script in cscript and autoit script.

[tault_stigma]

Hell yea! Its like christmas Hanucha and easter rolled into one

I'l be glued to the screen.

I take it 1.9 got a bit delayed for some reason. Its ok, its hard to make accurate time estimates when it comes to software engineering

I will check back later. Hope you haven't run into any big problems.

PS: will you be posting here when you have made the update? if not, please link to whereever you will be posting the update announcement when its done

PS2: Take a look at this thread if you haven't allready. I hope you can implement this into VGE. It would allow us to do soem really nice things

April 11, 2007 - VGExtreme v1.9

'/// Modified 4/11/07 - Bugfux Fixed disconnect issue with VGEWrapper.dll
'/// Modified 4/11/07 - Added COM access

'/// Place VGE into folder that accesses COM object and run.
'/// IE to run under AutoIT, place VGE into autoIT folder.


Here is a sample autoit script:

Code: Select all

Dim $oAutoIT

$oAutoIT = ObjCreate('VGExtreme.VGEWrapper')

Msgbox(0,"AutoItCOM Test",   $oAutoIT.Player.Name)

[tault_stigma]

Ok. gave it a go, and encountered a problem:

I have:
- moved only the update file to the autoit root folder (C:\Program Files\AutoIt3)
- run autoupdate to get the newest version
- started up VGE and logged in (have tried both running the default code, and not. Do I need to?)
- created "VGEtest.au3" containing the sample code you posted
- attempted to run that code

The following error appears:
Variable must be of type "Object".:
Msgbox(0,"AutoItCOM Test",$oAutoIT.Player.Name)

It looks like it does not recognize the object.

I am using autoit 3.2.2.0 (latest version).

Any suggestions?

Followup-question:

1) if coding directly in the VGE scripter, to get the player name you do like getPlayerName() - but now apparently its $oAutoIT.Player.Name , I guess because now we are importing variabes via objects. How will we know the new names for fetching these, is there a list?

2) How does this work for running functions that don't just return a simple value, like for example EnableChatLog(). How does that work via objects?

A R G. Once I add in my encryption for vge.exe it stops working. ugh. I didnt even think to test my final release before I posted it. It works fine unencrypted, but once I encrypt the exe it stops working. I have no idea what is causing it to not work except the encryption must change the assemblies somehow. I'll do some more research tomorrow.
