[Neoquest]

I've been working on this for about a month now, and I finally think it's ready to release, my fully featured Neoquest II Autoplayer. I'm pretty sure this is the only free, full NQ2 AP. The program is currently only available for windows, sorry Mac users! Below is a list of features, please note that this is a Beta release, there might still be a few parts of the program that need to be sanded down and perfected. If you spot something not working/are experiencing crashes, please send me a PM!

Features:

Spoiler

• Proxy support (for the first time!)
• An easy to use command system
• Custom wait delays
• Many game-play options
• Potion use for all attacking characters
• Custom potion use options
• The classic move back and fourth training mode
• Support for remote moving - IE. Move scripts
• Two methods of move script interpretation (My own, and the one used for GM scripts)
• Generates constantly updating location file - will automatically refresh every 7 seconds, and display when you are in a battle
• C + Ctrl can be used to return to the command menu while in a battle (sometimes doesn't work, will look into a move intuitive method of returning to menu)
• Able to quickly and effectively switch between hunting & normal movement modes
• Utilization of death scripts to completely automate the battle process (Death scripts must be written with my scripting method)
• Notifies you when you enter and finish a battle - on finish a summary of gains will be displayed.
• An easy to use .exe - Py2exe isn't perfect, and I think that the .exe may have some issues the normal .py script doesn't
• Lots of other stuff I've forgotten about
• Global statistics that show how much gold/exp you have gained by using this program! (Currently not implemented, will only display 0s for all stats)
• Advanced scripting method

Usage:

Spoiler

Training Mode:

Spoiler

The very first command, simple and self explanatory. Will move Rohane left and right, fight battles when they occur. Character actions are as follows:

• Mipsy will use group or direct damage based on what you have selected. (See settings)
• Talinia will use group or direct damage based on what you have selected. (See settings)
• Rohane will attempt a direct attack.
• Velm will attempt to heal the group - Velm MUST have some group healing skill if you wish to use him.
• All attacking characters will heal themselves with potions when their health is yellow or red (below half.)
• When the battle ends a statement will be displayed of how much experience each character gained, the amount of gold, and if anyone gained a level.

General:

Spoiler

Download the file attached to this post and unzip it into any folder. On startup you will be prompted to login, after you do so a list of commands will be displayed. To use a command, enter it's number, this is found at the beginning of the command name. To stop a command use C + Ctrl, this doesn't work sometimes - in such a case, just close the program. I will work on adding a better way to stop a command soon.

Moving:

Spoiler

The second command, move scripts must be placed in the included scripts directory. The full script name must be input when prompted, the script name is case sensitive. All scripts must be in .txt format (this doesn't need to be typed when inputting the script name.) The script that is already included "OnDeath" will be run when you die, afterwards the character will continue training. This is useful to get out of the inn you just rested at, and back onto the battle grounds if you plan to be dying frequently while training. A sound will be played at the completion of a script.

My script method:
Use the directions (WASD) to move around, death scripts must be written in this format. Example:
WAAAAASSSSSSSDDDDDDDWWWW
Keep all characters on one line, with no spaces. Does not support moving corner directions (IE, Southwest)

GM Script Method:
This is the method that you'll probably want to be using most of the time. There is a set of scripts for the full game written for this method, they can be found here. Example:
123543654633565431
Keep all characters on one line, with no spaces.

Settings:

Spoiler

Using the settings command will bring you to the inbuilt game settings menu, your settings are stored with the packaged .dat file. Use this menu to adjust wait delays, character preferences, potion use, and a few other things. Debug information is on by default, and I highly suggest you leave it that way until the program leaves beta.

Clear:

Spoiler

Clear is the fifth command, it will finish any battle you are currently in and return to the map. It is advised that you use this before any other commands.

Proxy Support:

Spoiler

To set a proxy, simply edit the .txt file that is packaged in the .zip file. Change the "xxx.xxx.xxx:port" to your own proxy, save and start up the program! The program will show the IP you are seen as on start up. (Unless you alter this, just change the "true" in the line below your proxy to "false.")

Advanced Scripts:

Spoiler

Advanced scripts are new in version 0.9. They add in support to finish the whole game in one sitting (technically.) Advanced scripts are written by writing new commands on lines of a text file.

Some things to keep in mind when writing advanced scripts:

• Capitol letters matter
• All URLs must start with http://
• The interpretation method is not idiot-proof, if the program finds a line it doesn't understand, you will be notified.
• All arguments of a command must be placed between the parenthesis.
• An argument is more or less a parameter that you will supply to a command

Commands:

• train()

  - Specify the amount of levels, the special modifier "noexp" will keep training until your party stops gaining exp from fighting monsters. Example:

  train(6)

  This will train 6 levels
• A comment - use the "#" at the beginning of a line to specify a comment. Comments will be shown when your script is running. Example:

  #I'm going to some place now!

• move()

  - Specify the move script that you wish to use. Do not use a file extension. Example:

  move(whiteRiver.txt)

• interact()

  - The most essential command for completing the game. The arguments must be URLs with semi-colons between each. This command can be used to buy items, equip equipment, and talk to NPCs. To get the links needed simply right click on any clickable text and copy the link location. Example of equipping Fathers Sword:

  interact(http://www.neopets.com/games/nq2/nq2.phtml?act=inv;http://www.neopets.com/games/nq2/nq2.phtml?act=inv&iact=equip&targ_item=10010&targ_char=1)

An example of a short advanced script:

#I'ma train 6 levels
train(6)
#I'm now done training
move(Phoro.txt)
#I just moved to a land of joy

WARNING: If you are trying to use a skill that you don't have, the program will start fleeing. Make sure to check your settings if this isn't happening.

A Screenshot of the Latest Version:


Version History:

Spoiler

v0.9 - Added advanced scripting, clicking the continue button and switched my own scripting method to WASD
v0.8 - Fixed all reported bugs, added auto-updater, group shielding, and group hasting.
v0.7 - Should have fixed the infinite loop bug, I tested for over an hour and was unable to reproduce it, also added checks around the script input so you'll know if you're doing something wrong.
v0.6 - Initial release. - Thanks to SirBaggy for testing, suggestions, and comments.

Download:
Despite a bunch of poking and prodding, I didn't manage to get the file size smaller than the new maximum upload size, it is a lot smaller now though
v0.9

Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for any frozen Neopets accounts due to irresponsible wait delays, or any other abuse of this program. Don't complain about it to me if you are iced!

That's it! I hope you enjoy the program and everything it has to offer.

Wow, looks amazing! I can't believe you finished it! ^^

I will make sure to help you with what bugs I find. Great job!

[Rainie]

Awesome ^^~ Thanks for your hard work on it (:

[CJames]

sweet!! I've been using the one on GM all this time but that sometimes hangs on me... gonna create a shell to test this out.

[Neoquest]

Thanks guys, also if you're going for the speed trophy something like this is probably ideal over the GM version, no images to load!

[James]

Leveling up atm like a boss. ;p

When I've done ctrl + c it just closes the AP completely. I know you've said it sometimes doesn't work but is it supposed to close completely?

[Nonexistent]

Damn, I think I might get back into NQ again now.
Good job!!

It's supposed to just break out of whatever command it's currently doing, usually for me it just did nothing, and sometimes set the program into an infinite loop. It's a very finicky thing, but it seemed to work around 60% of the time, so I included it.

Alright, I see what you mean when in battle. Haha.

[Neoquest]

Oh yeah, I should have also specified that if you use it outside of battle the program will be closed. That is supposed to happen.

Ahhh that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying.

SOMEBODY HERE LOVES YOU.
ITS ME.

[Adam]

This looks amazing! Thank you <3.

[annddd]

amazing~~~ rep+
I will try this one immediately

[kwaugh96]

is there going to be a mac version eventually?

[Niva]

Wooo, a NQ AP lol. Sounds sweet~ Thanks for doing this. +rep. Looks great, excited to try this one out!

[AnAngryAsian]

+ rep... Thank you for this program. Although I have used NQII players before, they were never fully automated. Just grease monkey training scripts. So this will probably be a very big step up from that.

[Neoquest]

is there going to be a mac version eventually?

Not soon, I tried it on my MacBook air and it got stuck in an infinite loop within a few minutes, it would be something I would work on when I feel the program is totally and completely done.

[Harleenz]

+rep

This sounds amazing! I'll definitely be trying this out on Monday when I get some free time

[daj0sephz]

so is this program fully automated? like you dont have to do the boss fights / attend to the game for a little while once it reach checkpoints ( like what nqiifreevar does?)

[Kway]

Have you tried Winpdb? Despite the name, it is cross platform and awesome for debugging this sort of stuff.

Btw, it looks great so far. Can't wait to see more.

It uses move scripts, you do need to initiate boss fights, but you can just use the move scripts in pretty much the same way freevar does.

I'll take a look into that, thanks for the suggestion. Although I still probably won't put a Mac version of this on my priority list. I'm glad you like it, thanks for the compliment.

[daj0sephz]

lol then using gm scripts would probably be the safer option wouldnt it?
is there anyway to make it fully automated?

Why would it be safer? And by fully automated do you mean turn it on and it plays the whole game? This is a little more intelligent than a GM script.

[MoriNoRyu]

Awesome! Thanks a lot! I always get bored of NQII in about 5 minutes so progress is... was... slow to say the least xD.
