VG Advanced Crafting Bot v2.0 : VGExtreme Programs

Here are my errors:
1 - No response when I click authenticate. just repops the window.
2 - Virus alert. i added t to exceptions on AV and Win FW.
3 - Or i get a windows error:
VGExtreme has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

At this point I'm at a loss. Is it that my pc is locked down with all patches and anti-spam/phishing etc. Remember I cannot even get to the forums from my PC or any pc on my lan. I have to go outside my lan to post on forums.

I tried 1.1 and 2. - 1.1 gives me the windows error and 2 gives me the repop.

Any help figuring this out would be great. Are there any diagnostics I could run to get a better understanding on this?

Thanks,
Cepolly

VGExtreme does need Vanguard not only installed, but logged in to at least character select to work. This check is done by VGE itself and is required so it can initialize offset addresses properly. Normally, though, launching VGExtreme itself (not the bot, just the service), version 1.0 on the forums or version 2.0 included with my bot package, without VG running should give a message box that says "Vanguard was not found. Please restart when it is running."

I'm pretty sure the check for Vanguard is one of the first activities VGE does during initialization (before any attempt to contact the authentication server), so if it's not even getting to that point, there may be something missing, like the MS Script Debugger. Try running Exhume.exe and see if it loads. If it doesn't, find the troubleshooting threads for Exhume elsewhere in the TU forums and follow the instructions. It is also possible your network configuration may prevent proper authentication.

If Exhume loads and authenticates fine (we're talking only about 1.0 here), then close it and delete all files in your exhume directory except exhume.exe and updatevgextreme.exe (you can keep the vbs files or other files that are obviously not part of the program...any .dll, .tgb and vgextreme.exe get deleted). Run updatevgextreme.exe and allow it to patch all files.

Now try running vgextreme.exe (make sure Vanguard is running). If it opens and authenticates fine, run the default script that loads. It should create a window with some character stats and nearby object data that changes as you turn or move. If this works, then the service is working fine. From here, ACB1.1 could be loaded and run, although the offset files are out of date.

Assuming you got to this point, extract the acb2.0 bot package in a directory OTHER THAN YOUR VGEXTREME 1.0 DIRECTORY. Also download the new exe update I posted today and extract it into the same directory, overwriting the old file. Start Vanguard then run AdvancedCraftingBot.exe If you reached this point successfully, it should work.

I have a suspicion the authentication is getting blocked. Are you trying to do this from a work LAN?

Usually means either bad username/password (have them login to the Register to unlock hidden link page)

I get a 404 when trying to access that page, but verify your userid/pw

Anything I can look at here?

Yeah, if it has the "more details" button, pm me the debug info
