Micromacro & Hackshield

#1 Post by d003232 » Mon Oct 20, 2014 9:16 am

Last week I just gave the afk script a try. After that I had MM opened in the background. Just for fun I was trying Macroexpress, a windows macroing tool for doing some planting and harvesting within Archeage. And wow! It was working! I was wondering that I could control the mouse, read out pixel colors etc. without having some hackshield bypass or so. Therby I thougt if was somehow because I had the MM window opend in the background.

Yesterday I was trying to do the same again. But it didn't work anymore. :-( I can't control Archeage with Macroexpress anymore. :-(

Has anyone an explanaition why it was working some days before? And how could the AFK script with MM work without disabling the hackshield protection?

It seems I could do my harversting with some MM script?

I've never heard of that program so I'm not sure what's going on there. It might have to do with how MicroMacro set debug privileges, or maybe HackShield had just been updated or something. It's hard to say.

The script injects input into ArcheAge's input queue. The game can't differentiate between the synthetic and real presses, as they look exactly the same.

yes but it wouldn't be fool proof.
Since we can't get the player coords or direction that means that movement is not going to happen.
With that in mind you could set up a planting/harvesting script but if you get pushed by another player then it will stop working because the coords on screen for the plants would be all wrong.

Pixel searches are just what is on screen and so aren't affected by hackshield.

After todays patch using virtual keypresses triggers the hackshield close game, it was after around 25-30 key presses (my farming script)
I test using the non virtual presses and see if there is a difference.
