Dark Throne Recruiter

[greenmachine]

I noticed many posts recently about the game DarkThrone, and every time the user wanted an AutoRecruiter script. Well, it seemed like a fun idea, and so I signed up for the game and made one. I started off with pixel searching and checking and actual mouse clicking, but I really don't like that method. I had a little bit of IE stuff in it in the first place, but not nearly enough. So I started converting the whole thing to using IE functions so it would be more reliable. Here is the result. A solid DarkThrone AutoRecruiter.

Features:

- Uses IE.au3, so "clicks" are accurate, and basically it just makes the whole job easier.

- Logs in automatically, goes to the recruit portion, recruits, and then logs out.

- Minimal user interaction required (only for the first run - three input boxes to create the INI)

Special:

- Start the program with the command parameter "bank" (no quotes) to store money in the bank after the recruit.

- Start the program with the command parameter "armory" (no quotes) to buy defensive weapons and, with the change, buy quantities of 50 miners (50 or 100).

Future Plans:

- Logging useful data (Income (per turn and total), Total cash, quantities of trained citizens in each category, etc)

- Buying other weapons/armor, including spy equipment

- Training citizens to become something other than miners (with options)

- Buy upgrades?

- Attack? (If so, it's going to be incredibly tough to work out)

- Clicking your own link (with that crazy image to process)?

Caution:

- There might be something a little weird with my recruiting, I think clicking the link "here" by text (on the error page) might be unreliable.

Please let me know what you think, and especially if anything unexpected happens.

Ok ive been threw every DT recruiter script i could find ive made a simple mouse clicker that partly works but none of these recruiters seem to completely work

so i was wondering if anyone cas any ideas on makeing one for Firefox that will just activate the Function on the page i belive this is the command line for the button

<form name="pibm" action="recruitloop.dt" method="get">

<input type="hidden" name="session" value="">

<input type="hidden" name="alliance" value="-1">

<input type="hidden" name="ticket" value="895810">

<input type="image" style="border=0px;" name="nextimg" id="nextimg" onclick="return validate();" src="http://www.darkthrone.com/templates/default/images/buttons/recruit2.gif">

</form>

if anyone has any ideas that could help or even point me in the right dirrection id be thankfull

Since you're posting a support question in the thread with my recruiter, would you mind telling me what's wrong with mine before anyone considers doing something for you? Last time I checked (which happened to be a while ago) this worked fine. That's why I posted it. If you only have a support question, post in the support forum. If you have any comments, post them here.

Why do you insist on using Firefox? I really don't see what's wrong with using IE for this case. The IE.au3 library makes this so handy.

ive had no luck getting it to run its only given me error messages and i cant download the .au3 file ive tryed opening it and copying it over but i only get errors

not to mention i want something simpler something i can just open up the page myself and set to run couse the ones that log you in never seem to get me there.

Hmm that still doesn't help me much - what errors are you getting? What version of AutoIt are you using? Do you have the IE.au3 library? Where is it located?

Be specific. Plus, if you learn the code you can modify it to do whatever you want.

[Shobida]

im guessing its the IE.au3 library thats my problem couse that was in the error message

[Shobida]

oh and i cant seem to find it either ^ ^ ive been browsing all over the forums and the site. /sigh

[greenmachine]

I thought so.

IE.au3 library: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13398

You need to put it in the include folder as well.

Since I still don't know what version of AutoIt you're running, make sure you get the latest beta, else it won't work: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/

[Shobida]

ya i got the latest beta already

thank you

[Thatsgreat2345]

they arent worried about beta at the moment they are releasing the new version so they dont really care what u do in beta

[greenmachine]

These kind of programs are against the Terms of service of Darkthrone, and will be detected if used...I'll personally make sure of that...

That's nice... it really isn't much of a threat to me. I only joined DT so I could make the script, so it doesn't make a difference if I play it now or not.

Plus, you'd have to find my login name first, and it's not like I'm going to tell you....

[Infinitex0]

Great script Green

[Thatsgreat2345]

Hey green you think you could make one for Omega as well?, i attempted using ur script and completely failed :-/ so i scrapped it

[greenmachine]

Chances are, no. I haven't worked on anything DT in a long while, so it's not one of my top priorities (or really even one of my bottom ones...). Plus, I'm not playing Omega, so that wouldn't work.

[Thatsgreat2345]

well anyone that has a beta acc, automaticaly gets signed up for Omega but ill try again, it should be almost exactly the same as beta just changing form names most likely

You have to be something like level 21 to play Omega.. I didn't get that far (never attacked people, too lazy to actually play the game). I'm sure it's similar, you just have to figure out what I was doing. It really shouldn't be that hard....

[Thatsgreat2345]

well im only 11 and just bank money everyday got like 4 billion spent a billion on defence but yeah so u dont have to be 21 but whatever ill give it a go

well I was running around the net searching for new "items" to play with when I found this site.. I will be doing some more digging as time allows later..

I was looking for the type of files I seen here an have after some digging an prying gotten the V3 an beta V3 installed.. I then had to do some more digging to try an locate the IE.au3 file though.. I believe it too should be updated an placed within the DL files section to ease headaches.. I used the library file T2.0-1 listed on http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...opic=25629&st=0 an renamed it to IE.au3 so it would be recognized an still getting errors when I convert both of the codes listed here.. it converts them fine but when I try to run them it then tells me,

$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection (_IEDocumentGetObj ($IEObject),*input*)

$oInputs = _IETagNameGetCollection (^ERROR

yet I found a site online with a smaller IE.au3 file an used that an it runs fine.. also I am using the 3.1.1.123 beta to convert them with..

I am just trying to figure out this fun little coding world here so try to not over whelm me to much so :">.. plus if need be I could also offer ideas to help press the final stages you had planned originally for this code project.. as in letting the app pull the prices for the armory items off the site instead of listing them in the code.. I have been trying to work on a equation that would help to count out an time banking processes too.. but that isn't going as well as I hoped.. I don't have codes just ideas though.. also would be a nice trick to maybe make a "profile manager" on it to allow those either with multiple accounts or watching others accounts to be able to load the logins an settings in for them within one setup..

an who knows maybe even using the same feature to grab the info from the members page to add a repair feature into the final project as well.. an maybe a adjustable login timer/refresh to check the stats too.. as I said loaded with ideas, just no knowledge to do it on my own is the sad fact..

also I would like to know if anyone has gotten an idea about the omega validation window deal?.. it is basically like the external recruiting link selection window is (click the name that appears twice).. but it appears at random times though.. I have heard rumor that some have found ways around it so wanted to ask these great minds if they could also ..

I do realize this is a toy for all who are messing with it, but just want to try an offer ideas to maybe make it a working project for all who use it to enjoy more so .. I have another old project source code some else wrote ages back I still use, but I know nothing of how to tweak it if or when it dies .. so I wanted to reach out to those who are enjoying the game an also working on projects like these to see if they would an can help to make newer an tighter toys .. the old project has a profiling system an a banking feature in it, but it has to log in an out to refresh the pages, an it doesn't time the gold per turn to know when to go in an bank.. so it is dangerous at times (can alert server admins) it logs in to often to try an bank max gold on farm bases.. also it doesn't drop the dll memory cache used an slowly drains system resources.. an then if you have several accounts loaded into it then it will cross them up an end up banking the wrong amount on the wrong base an messes up you gold per day/deposits per day ratio.. so as I said it needs work also, but I know nothing about how to though.. it is also done in I believe C#.. but being a "noob" to it don't take my word that is what it is.. I know I can compile/build it in VS8 am it work is all I can tell you..

I will be keeping an eye out here an on other threads like this an slowly digging to see if I can learn this method of coding easier than trying to learn C++ or C#.. an who knows maybe combined we can turn out a fun little project on this venture..

oh, this isn't my DT name .. I am not that foolish ..

oh I will also add the smaller IE.au3 file I used that worked so you can compare them to help you to trouble shoot the issue I mentioned..

IE.au3

[ReapeR890]

when i run it, it goes reallllly slowly. I am new to Autoit and this is the first script i have tried so i dont know if i have done everything right. how long does it take someone else for it to do all 350 clicks using this script (the one for DT beta not omega)?
