Possibly porting over my Gatherbot - No waypoints needed Thoughts?

I will get onboard supporting this idea. It seems like a large percentage of our bans as a community come from running popular public profiles and having bot-hunters follow us around reporting us (Yes, you can also get banned for botting 24/7 or if you get caught selling gold or do other foolish things, but I'm specifically talking about 'unpreventable' bannings), so having something that auto-generated different paths would be a huge help.

 

Woah woah.

Just to be sure, your code will be sending/receiving information from an online database?


I doubt you would, but I'd like one of the Mods/Admins to look at the code prior to you adding a link to download it to the forums.
Just as a precaution, in case somehow some code got in there to send back personal information.


I say again, I doubt you would do this, but just to be safe

Thanks Swiny, I'll be sure to test it out for ya.

 

Correct, it sends data to a website,

What this data contains is
If it is a new node that it's never been seen before
A node X
A node Y
A node Z
A node Name

Nothing else.

That is all

I'd be more than happy for a admin to check over my code

 

Looking forward to seeing how this come out.

 

Ever thought about a "tube" waypoint model?

You draw a tube on your 2D map and gathers in this "tube" with randomized waypoints?

Can you imagine what i mean?

 

I'm on board!

 

you got to watch out for swiny with his mowie wowie

 

i need some testers for the plugin i made,
if you wanna help jump on IRC

QuakeNet Web IRC (qwebirc) #Honorbuddy and #WoWGather

 

I will join IRC tomorrow and check your profil out! i am on work now and cant do it

 

got my vote too

 

This is really good news, we sure could use something like this. Great contribution to this community if you pull this one off mate, this won't go unnoticed I am sure.

Anyhow, you've got my vote, will also join IRC as soon as I can, quite busy with irl and work lately.

 

if you guys would like to help out,
i have just finished completing the "logging" side of the database.

we have a pritty big database, but we wish to expand this more.
we have around 3-5 people currently exploring to grow this database.

If you would like to help, please contact me and ill add you to the project.

Jump on IRC and join #WoWGather would like to have a good 5+ more people!

Thanks

 

I am very interested in the technical side of this project. I was toying with such an idea to optimize my harvesting, but couldn't come up with a decent method of optimal node finding. What method do you use for choosing the next node? Do you overwrite Flyer with your own flavor of flight pathing? Just a few questions to start .

Smarter

 

Quakenet Web IRC trying to login:

Did u know I was coming and blocked me beforehand
I don't have a IRC client (nor am I planning to get one tbh).
I never really used IRC before so it can't be me that caused the block ^^

 

Just a little teaser,

www.wowgather.com
This shows you the active nodes we have found so far, ( we have found 1400+ ) in 3 hours. ,
expect this number to keep growing, as the active helpers are running PB with every possible profile to log every node!
as you can see who has been "helping" and contributing by that page, and big thank you to them.

if you would like to get on board and help out please be my guest and jump on IRC.
we could do with around 5 more active loggers

we now have a stablished IRC channel #WoWGather on Quakenet

these people have now got the beta of this project

 

Is the plugin just for Database collection atm?

 

Collecting Data right now

 

data collecting atm is a select few,
because we had people trying to abuse the database.

www.wowgather.com

if you would like to try become a "helper" and log some nodes, jump in the chat room ( #WoWGather ) in like 8 hours time
and ill set you up a account

--------------

also the beta is live guys,
big progression atm.

should have a stable release by next week if we manage to get more node "loggers"

 

me being a noob what doe sthis actuall mean for us?
i understanding you saying no need for waypoints but does this make gathering more effient and faster etc.
be nice to understand what this can do for the average user

 

Generation of it's own path.
Don't need to make your own profiles.
