Honestly no idea if this game is any good but I wanted to try starting a bot from scratch.


SVN instructions are same as for RoM bot except the address to use is.
create a folder inside the Micromacro/scripts folder ( I just udes gf1)
Then right click the new folder and click SVN Checkout...
for URL of depository use

Code: Select all

https://gf-bot.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

Make sure you check the Checkout Directory as for some reasons it keeps adding a folder gf-bot to the folder you want to add bot to.
So it should be the folder you created and without the gf-bot after it.


Revision 6

For now default is set to farm an area of 200X200 of the position where bot is started. The values are the same as the X Y values on screen (under minimap)
If you go outside of this area it will turn around and try to go back into the area. If it hasn't targeted any mobs for 5 seconds it will turn and try to find some.

Once you reach lvl 5 you will need to add a skill to actionbar 6 and maybe 7 for it to run smoothly.

For now it uses actionbar 6 until there are 5 skill charges and then it uses actionbar 7. If you are new to the game just place "attack" to both 6 and 7 until you learn the skills and how they work.

Also place mana pot in bar 8 and health pot in bar 9. default time to use potion needs to be changed to dynamic, at the moment it just takes a pot if health drops by X amount. You can change the amount for now in
functions.lua
function potions()

Todo:
Find a camera/player direction you are facing, then can finally add movement to bot, atm it only moves to get in range to kill mobs.
Setup a character profile.
Set up a time to farm for.
Implement looting, bag space is extremely low.

Long list so I'll just stop the list there lol

[lisa]

Well getting there.

I have it monitoring Hp/Mp and using potions as required.
I have it targeting mobs and attacking and also checking if target is dead.

So it basically attacks and pots and keeps killing.

Something I haven't worked out yet though is MM isn't attaching to the game, it does the key presses to any window so I must have something wrong in that respect.
So I start the lua for GF and then click the game to get focus, it then runs no worries.

Found static address for character coords, works from map and is nothing like the X Y coords posted in the UI.
Ok map coords are 1/16th of coords from memory.
So I can use map coords still and adjust the coords from memory to suit.

Basically bottom left of map is 1,1

[lisa]

I started to try to implement a waypoint system like that in RoMbot but I soon realised in order to get the movement according to coords I would also need the direction the camera is facing. So I decided to just put that on the back burner for now, I did make a createpath though so I can already create waypoint files.

What I decided to go with instead was a box area to farm within.
So I set the extremities of the X and Y axis and the bot stay within the boundaries and just continues to kill mobs.
Basically if it goes outside the box it turns approx 160 degrees and then hopefully heads back into the box.
I also implemented a time limit to not seeing any mobs and then also turning to try and find mobs to kill.

I let it run for a while just to do a print, looks like this.

killed: 92      Time: 910       XP: 9456        Gold: 2681      Pots used: 1

killed 92 mobs
time is in seconds, so 15 mins.
gained gold is actually copper, the lowest currency but I just prefer to call it gold. so gained 26silver / 81copper.
Used 1 potion, which was a mana pot.

So for now the basics are there, it is all done within the same file so it is still very crude.

[lisa]

Ok things are coming along nicely now.

At the moment I am still working on trying to get the mob details from memory.
I found a pointer at
7B2670 with offset 3FC
from that address the offsets are to mob names, possibly npc aswell, still testing

example is
7B2670 3FC 298 = mob name
7B2670 3FC E8 = mob name
7B2670 3FC 448 = mob name
7B2670 3FC 5f8 = mob name
7B2670 3FC 7a8 = mob name
I worked out a difference of 1B0 between the last offset and you do get mob names, still testing, Hopefully I can do a print of the offsets E8 + 1B0 until 7A8 and see what names it prints. Not every offset has a name though.
Spot 4 lots of 1B0 before 5F8.
I am hoping this will lead me to a table of tables to be used to get pawn information from memory.

Hmm no good, the addresses changed even though they were static, need to dig deeper it seems.

[lisa]

Made nice break through and found some addresses for target.
I can get target current hp.
At the same time I also found addresses for what appears to be the position of the target, X Y. I can't get my head around the values though, any help would be appreciated.
The values aren't exact so keep that in mind, the slightest movement changes the value at the address but the coords on UI doesn't change so quickly.

I tested it on different maps and it held true, so it isn't in relation to the world but to the current map.

There is a 3rd address which does change when the target moves but it only changes by a little amount, I just figured it was the height axis.

--=== Edit ===--

Figured it out, it was a float value NOT a 4byte decimal value. Float is same coords as UI on screen but with 1 decimal point. No wonder I couldn't work it out lol

[lisa]

Ok I have player and target coords all working nicely now, which of course gives distance.
Also have target name reliable, it was tough finding an address that wouldn't change when relogging.
Also target Current HP, not max yet as the pointer keeps changing so I am still looking for a reliable target maxhp.

No idea why but the info for mobs isn't kept even close to the other values in memory.
current hp and mp might be at 1459099
name might be at B87B08
max Hp might be at 1399590
So it is tough for now to find a reliable pointer to everything. I am still looking for the mystical table of tables.

Updating first post with the SVN address and instructions.

[lisa]

Ok finally made some headway with mob information.

Address = 0xA71B18,
offsets {0xA0, 0xF8, 0x4 }
3rd offset 0x4=hp // 0x8=mp // 0x18=lvl // 0x48=maxhp // 0x4C=maxmp
2nd offset start at F8 and increase by 0xF0 for the next mob.

As for how many times to add the increase, no idea.
3rd offset 0x0 always = decimal value 10202956
So I guess can do a check for the 0x0 3rd offset to = 10202956 and if so then add the info to a table. Not sure on the significance of that value but in hex it is 9BAF4C.

Next step I guess is to use the mob address for targeting.
I already know
address = A6C97C points to target address, so maybe use that and the address of mob to force game to target mob via memory.
offset =

[MiesterMan]

This is a crude pattern matching for the player base address.

I've been looking through all the references to the address and none are quite as clean cut as the example admin provided in the tutorial so I went with a segment between two float executions. It finds the current player base address and offset fine but we won't know if it's any good until the next update.

Sounds good, I had been thinking of how to update addresses after patch, my usual method of using olly doesn't seem to work with this game.

Good to see someone else is also playing around with this game

The graphics may leave much to be desired but the game isn't half bad. The crafting system is especially nice since it's not too hard and anyone can do it. The sprites are like a minigame with very nice bonuses for the main game so I can see this being a fun bot game.

Sadly though, I haven't been able to find functions that reference other base addresses like this one and my target pointers are quite rigid. I tried my best but couldn't associate an object with other players, monsters, and floaties in the game so using the same structure as the player object won't possible (might even be a flat out struct, lol).

[lisa]

Yeah one part I don't like is that mob information isn't kept together, it is spread out. There is no doubt something central which controls the info but to find it is a pain.

[Administrator]

If you continue to work on this and get something workable, I'll open up a new forum section for this game. Please continue to keep us informed of your changes.

[lisa]

I had a bit of a pause on the project, needed to work on some other things for a bit. I have ahad a few people PM me though about it so I might continue on it again soon.
At this stage I don't know enough about the game to make a really effective bot, for now it is like a really advanced autoIt because it also monitors hp/target/area to farm.

They seem to have put in a lot more double/tripple pointers in GF then they did in RoM so it is taking longer to get the addresses I want.
Also the not attaching to game is bothering me, not sure if I can fix that or not.

[MiesterMan]

I updated 3 files with more concrete pointers. A whole lot was changed but for the most part I was able to trace most back to a single base pointer with offsets. It's working but a very basic bot atm; it just kills and loots.

lisa, you had already found the target pointer ( ) which pointed to the info with similar offsets to player. I updated the addresses and functions with the new one.

I commented on all the sections I changed so please puruse and let me know what you think of the changes here.

(also, I couldn't get your checkwindows func to work, kept crashing the bot so I disabled it)

I wanted to slip this in, since I forgot to in that post I just made. I spent several (almost all the time I spent working on this) failing to find a function or address to change that would change the target and not just the address.

I think there is a table of "objects" in the first level of the target pointer but I was unable to identify a start and stop point. The region is definately reused over and over for the different monsters and such that load. Also, targetable objects have coords and such too (like boards and mailboxes) so finding that address that will let us change target will be greatly helpful.

Something I noticed, much like RoM, this game uses click to move. I think we can find another address (like the target one we haven't found yet) that will let us click to move to locations. This would be much more powerful as the autopathing in this game goes all the way the requested location.

Taking a break for now.

[lisa]

Little update.

I have been busy with a project in RoM and haven't done any more work on GF.

I might get back into GF after new years, can't believe it's almost xmas already.

[MiesterMan]

So, I think I found the objects list but I'm having trouble getting a report on it.

Can you tell me how this is an infinite loop?

Code: Select all

function getObjects()

	fromAddr = 0x0767D87C;
	toAddr = 0x0767E210;
	objOff = -0x50;
	proc = getProc();
	objList = {};
	
	function getTimeFragment()
		char1 = memoryReadRepeat("byte", proc, (memoryReadRepeat("int", proc, addresses.runtime_base)+2));
		char1 = 0 - char1;
		char1 = 0xFF - char1;
		--printf("%x \t",char1);
		char2 = memoryReadRepeat("byte", proc, (memoryReadRepeat("int", proc, addresses.runtime_base)+3));
--		char2 = 0 - char2;
--		char2 = 0xFF - char2;
		--printf("%x \n",char2);
		return string.char(0x0, 0x0, char1, char2);
	end
	
	function findObjects()
		theDiff = toAddr - fromAddr;
		while(theDiff > 0) do
			theAddr = findPatternInProcess(proc, getTimeFragment(), "??xx", fromAddr, theDiff);
			if theAddr then
				table.insert(objList,CPawn(memoryReadRepeat("int",proc,theAddr-0x50)));
				fromAddr = theAddr + 4;
				theDiff = toAddr - fromAddr;
			else
				theDiff = 0;
			end
		end
	end
	
	function printObjects()
		for i,v in pairs(objList) do
			printf(i.X .. "\t");
			printf(i.Y .. "\t");
			printf(i.Level .. "\t");
			printf(i.HP .. "\t");
			printf(i.Name .. "\t");
			printf(i.MP .. "\n");
		end
	end
	
	findObjects();
	
	printObjects();
	
	--return objList;
end

I don't know why but this function never ends. It's only over a region of 0x1000 so it's not THAT long. Where is my math leaving me in an infinite loop?

[MiesterMan]

I hate it when I do that. I had it working then I hit save and now it's broke again, lol.

[lisa]

I usually add in prints for trouble shooting.

First print I would do is here

Code: Select all

            theDiff = toAddr - fromAddr;
print(theDiff)
         else
