Nothing new yet?

Are you asking me if I have anything?
If you are
My previous post meant that I was just going to put up with the delay because the code has decided my last egg is stuck. I did reduce the value of Timeout (at the top of the script) to 60. Is your character just standing around alot then?

Yea. It never actually resumes that i've seen.

i have the same problem, character will get to the hens and Clearing target. then just stand there for hours until i either restart the bot,
or manually click on a hen, then it will keep going. i am running latest on all files and mm and winxp.

Ok, if the last message is "clearing target" then it is pausing in the same place as mine. Which probably means it thinks the eggs are stuck.
Have you tried reducing the value of Timeout in the "MRC_Optimized.xml" file?
Open "\micromacro\scripts\rom\waypoints\MRC_Optimized.xml" with notepad and edit "Timeout = 300" to "Timeout = 5" (don't use speech marks in the file!). Save & Close.

Now see if your character still gets stuck by the eggs.

This is what MRC_Optimized.xml looks like in notepad..... Let me know how you get on, good or bad.
Cheers.

Same Issue

ya i tryed changing the timeout from 40 to 5 and still find my bot standing in front of 3 hens randomly sometimes.
so i dont think its thinking the eggs are stuck cause the 3 hens are still standing on top of the egg spots

I finally made the time to test the script. It didn't take long to get stuck.

I immediately noticed that there was a "Come on! Go for it!" message in chat so it did actually cheer a hen but all 3 hens were still there. Why didn't anyone else notice this? If you did, I could have fixed it ages ago.

What the bot does is try to cheer the hen until it detects that the player "cheers" then it starts looking for an egg. So if the cheer fails, it gets stuck in the loop waiting for the egg. I didn't account for the cheering failing. Previously it never failed.

It took a few times but I eventually caught it failing. What happens is it runs upto the coop and immediatly cheers but then the casting bar flashes red so the cheer failed. Might be because it hadn't fully stopped.

So I've added a little pause before it starts and added a time limit just incase it fails anyway.

I'm currently testing it and it looks good.

Updated to 4.3 with the above mentioned fixes.

Will test and get back to ya. I am surprised I missed that. Thanks Rock.

Hi Rock,

Do you turn off the speedhack because there is something bad about it? I notice all your recent releases you turn it off? Just wondering.

Thanks.

I'm on a different server where it's hard to get away with egg farming so if I use it I don't use the hacks. And I decided it would be a better default to not use them. But they do work. All you have to do is enable them.

Why does server matter? You are the only person in the zone and you just use a character no one knows is yours. My zone of entry also is Logar.

Because on my old server I could run a few clients harvesting eggs for 24 hours with no one bothering me but on this server, you usually get a gm whispering you within an hour or so.

How do they even know? You using the selling /mailing scripts?

I don't know. They have a way of knowing who's inside Miller's. And they'll send you a whisp saying 'hi' to see if you respond.

and the answer of this its the gm detect function ?:)

well if you bot in millers on a server that regularly monitors millers the GM detect will reduce the chance of being banned but let's face it if you just did 12 hours in millers the gm detect won't help your case. They will no doubt just bann you for the sake of it lol

simple facts:
If a GM whispers you and you don't respond and you keep doing what you were doing, they suspect you are a bot, they then investigate further and chances are you will get banned.
If however the GM detect kicks in and you do a reply whisper and log out then they will be less suspicious but will no doubt be curious of you.
If you suddenly stop doing anything while a GM is whispering you then they have to assume you may just be afk, again they will suspect you but they won't just instabann you.

I agree with everything well and the GM its just so great a few weeks ago seems my bot detected a gm coz i found it logged out coz of GM detected and in the next days while i was farming ( just watchin it) i had a wisp from Z***** luckly i was there and stopped and answerd him so i had to stop for a while and now im doing it again ( still havent got anything on my eggs-characters im doing it for like 2months already and i love it im on maca

meny greetings and good job

Version 4.3 fails fairly fast for me. Sooner or later (maybe 30 min to one hour) my character remains stuck trying to feed hens, blissfully unaware that it has no feed bags in inventory.
