The ultimate question of Noob-ness.

[klein]

ok. this is proboblt the stupidest question ever but.. how, exactly, do i run one of the scrips from your forums in my FFXI? take for example the Speedy Bot: Version two script found at tinyterror.proboards37.com/index.cgi?board=AUTOIT&action=display&thread=1102662709

now, i used to be a very good scripted in RO, ragnarok online, but as i can plainly see FFXIs is much more ocmplciated, which is to be expected. i'm not personally too interested in learning another scripting language, as i am how to activate these bots in-game, but all i seem to find are tutuorials on scripting macros. can i get some help?


-----edit

ok so, i've downloaded one of the autoterror versions- the one saying i did not need FFACT installed as i had no idea where to get that. now, if i'm thinking right, i would paste script code into a .txt notepad, and change the extension to .au3 ? am i right?

-----edit2

ok i'm only slightly creeped out now. reading through the above mentioned code, i ofuld i could actually understand most of what i was reading... how, exactly, does one get the x,y coordinates for the PixelGetColor command..? i might just pick up FFXI scripting, i can understand the more basic variables and such in this code, including some of the harder looking ones but i'm mostly doing rough guesses.

klein, chekc out the sticky'ed post "Tutorial for using pixelGetColor()"

[klein]

ok well now i know how to wrok that


but how to i make the scripts i get run?

[TinyTerror]

Just run autoterror.exe and it will ask you what script you want to run. I honestly cant understand how people miss this

[klein]

ok i tried that. will autoterror work while rindower is running? doed Auto terror read the pixelgetcolor command only inside the FFXI window coordinates, or off my whole screen?

such as my resolution is 1024x768 if i run Windower in 800x600 for a script set in that resloution, do i need to change my entire screen reslotion to work it inside windower? or does autoterror only look inside the FFXI window for coordinates


and also, how do i make it work once loaded? like if I open up the script named above, do i press the Alt+1 macro to make it start fishing, where the script will read the Fishing echo in my chat box and go on its own from there?

i know this is all very noobish but if i wanna work on it i gotta know exactly how it all works too ^_^;

[TinyTerror]

Autoterror doesnt have macro bindings. I suggest not using it.

[klein]

not quite what i was asking, but still usefull to know.. here let me try to show what i meant in a little more detail.

This is a 1024 X 768 reso bot.

The marco set up is:

Alt1

/echo Fishing
/wait 10
/fish

and I suggest you leave it at 10 or the autodump will cancel out the recast.

Alt2

/ammo “bait here”<br>
Alt3

/logout

basically what i'm asking here is, once i have the bot loaded, what do i need to do to make it run? i've noticed alot of the scrips youse /echo commands in all the macro set ups they tell you to ue. i'm guessing for this specific one that when i press Alt+1, the /echo Fishing line will be read by the pixelgetcolor command and it will go from there on its own? or is there something else i need to do to make AT start the script running?
