[Release] Demonbuddy - Windy wednesday build (#204)

you should add a gamelimit to the bot aswell.. and a option to disable/enable it for the maniacs, so the bot doesnt exceed like 50 games per hour, just my opinion

 

i duno if its just me but i resized the newest client while it was running and it crashed tried it on multi Db clients running.

 

Have there been some changes to if and whiles?

Exceptions get thrown if I put a while inside an if statement. If I put the loop after the if has finished then it's fine.

works:
<If></If>
<While></While>

exception thrown:
<If>
<While>
</While>
</If>

 

hey guys, im new DB user and i dont know if this problem was already mentioned but one of my 5 acc has problem with repairing when it tries to move to the vendor, uses TP, and then nothing happens, just stands still in townwhats wierd, it happens only on one account, others move smoothly. disabled all plugins but it didnt help

 

new release shortly, or waiting until 1.04 ?

G

 

they prob gonna wait, even though 1.04 is prob another week away.

 

does this one have the dungeon maps? cuz i dont want to burn 60 bucks on a CD key just to find out i have to grind bot again

 

Given that game limits were recently re-enabled, Blizzard obviously uses rapid game creation as a metric of bot detection, or at the very least has the potential to do so readily available to them. It is undoubtedly one of the easiest methods to determine if someone is using an automated program to create games for them (whether it be DemonBuddy, AutoIt, or what have you).

To that end, I submit that we need protection from ourselves built into the DB client. The randomized game creation wait time is a solid temporary measure, to be sure, but it does not handle all scenarios equally well. Why? Because errors can and do occur. Problems with plugins, issues with profiles, and flaws in DB itself -- they all have the possibility to result in an endless loop of game creations, and after so long your account will almost certainly be flagged.

Yesterday I witnessed my Champion Farming profile enter and exit a game over and over until I stopped it. I have no idea why as I had never seen this behavior before. Thankfully, I was observing my bot at the time, but if I had been AFK when it happened, I have no doubt that I'd probably be banned in the very near future. I recently set my game creation delay to 3-7 minutes, but that should not be necessary when the profile itself takes 30+ minutes to complete.

What we need is something that can determine whether a run was successful or not. What we need is for DB to be able to detect the game limit notification and then stop trying for 5 minutes (or longer). What we need is a way to limit DB from creating more than, say, 10 games per hour. And so I am requesting what I believe to be an emergency feature necessary for the protection of all of us: DemonBuddy must be capable of both setting and detecting game creation limits, and then reacting appropriately - either by turning itself off, or at the very least by imposing a lengthy delay.

Thank you for your great product. Thank you for all your hard work. And thank you for reading and considering my proposal.

 

Nesox do you see a major rebuild needed on the bot with the 1.0.4 release or just a patch?

 

Hi all, I have been afk for a while and am still using .185 I noticed that traditional loot rules dont work anymore for .204 Could someone be kind enough to direct me to a place where i can read about the new loot rules set up and or how to adjust them? Thanks so much Everyone!

 

Yes please let us know!

 

I'm live on 1.04, where is my DB </sarcasm>

G

 

I noticed that DB uses town portal even when it is still locked on an extremely low level character
Not something groundbreaking, but such s&#t can result in an easy detection&ban I guess...

 

do we have an ETA for the new release?

 

According to past post, someone said that the dev mention it wasn't a top priority. Guess safety isn't 100% their concern with that townportal flaw in place. (don't quote me on that =)

 

DB isn't working at all for me? does it work for anyone currently?

 

you are correct. it was reported (at least by me) within the first few days of DB launch. It's not important enough for them to prioritize it. just don't let your bot do it. unlock it by joining a higher lvl's game.

 

new user....just wondering if this is the tread for a new copy of db when its available or where i should be looking? any help would be appreciated!

 

There will be a new post above this one in the stickys. The mods are very good about making things easy to find here.

 

is there any status on when the bot will be up and running.. ?
