Many of you might know that a few days ago, we announced on neopian hackers that our autobuyer project was closed. This was during the downti'me of neocodex and I had forgotten to announce it here. This is what we wrote on neopianhackers.[quote name='Hydrogen]were not interested in proving ourselves if we have to write a new ocr everyday. Neo_grl can find out the hard way if she wants to but we are dropping out of the ab contest because we no longer wish to waste our resources on something that is not as beneficial as we would hope[/quote][quote=ShadowLink64]As you all know' date=' I was the one making the restocker for NeoCodex. At the start, I didn't even know I was in a contest, so I started making an RSer, and an excellent one at that Too bad many unfortunate coincidences got in the way, and brought me into a state of frustration. The thing is, AutoBuyers will be extinct soon, because they will keep changing the URL of the code picture, and changing the picture itself, so I figured, "There's no use going on! neo_grl can have her title as "AB War Winner". Our program is 100% complete except for the part with the code....... we have obtained an OCR, but I am not interested in continuing this contest.[/quote']This was due to neopets changing the kauvara code 2 ti'mes every day. Once this constant changing stops, we will re-open our rser project, but for now we dont want to waste our resources on something so futile.

We apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the autobuyer. If you want some screenshots on what the autobuyer looked like here they are:

NOTE: The autobuyer was not yellow, something messed up when Shadowlink pasted the screenshot in paint. The autobuyer was actually grey.

hopefully tnt will stop changing the code and it will reopen

TNT will become too lazy to change the code. A month tops

[Charlie Hustle]

lets hope so

[Hydrogen]

I dont believe that it is tnt that is changing the code. I think that they wrote a script to keep changing it every so often. if that is true, then these code changes will never stop .

[Krnsaber]

Well like Trevor said he is going to infiltrate TNT and destroy the script lol. Trevor now dont get caught ya hear?

Yes, I think HydroGen is right, Because they nearly change the code every week and it would probly take atleast an hour.

I dont think this project will reopen and I also see it as a waste of our programming resources. People may like it, beg for it, cry for it. But the two programmers working on it will get it done then the code changes again. They do somthing that they probly don't even care about they just want to make people happy. These guys need a rest from programming

        Give a round of appluase to the creaters of the Ulti'mate restocker!

If I left anyone out correct me

Yes, I think HydroGen is right, Becuase they nearly chnage the code every week and it would probly take atleast and hour.

nope, I believe thats all   :clapping:  :clapping:  :clapping:  :clapping:

[Stephen]

I don't see the reason in re-opening it hydro I seriously don't ....

[Krnsaber]

Grrr lets go to TNt and go :raygun: them. if that doesnt work we'll do this  
Then lets go :starwars: on them.  Theyll be :stretcher: and eventually :rip:
As you can see I'm very high right now.

[Hydrogen]

I don't see the reason in re-opening it hydro I seriously don't ....

Well, we put in all that work, and if we ever get a chance to re-open it, we will...we want to release it...we just dont want to waste our resources

[Stephen]

Maybe release the source to all programmers and they could help complete it when it re-opens?

[Hydrogen]

thats not up to me, its up to shadowlink64...I dont think he will release the source though.

[Charlie Hustle]

what about changing the name and taking the aber out

no nevermind that wouldn't work

[pyke]

TNT are dorks. Well although it is disappointing, it probably will help with the whole mega hype thing, about this RSer. Maybe now some people will fobecause more on the other I'mpressive, and useful programs, not to mention the forums. Sad to see all your hard work have to stop like this for now. Oh well... party on!

[Noitidart]

we can always make a universal ocr reader
but I don't know how hard that is because I I'm not a programmer

[Krnsaber]

Youre an artmoney guy. And a dam good one too. Be proud of yourself.

[Hydrogen]

they are pretty hard to write, because you would have to offer capabilities for every type of I'mage tnt could possibly throw at you with every font... :eek:

[Stephen]

ONe thing I'm happy with is to see that the people at neocodex dont mind that we dropped out of the contest. that shows what a great community we are. Doesn't it Hydro?

ssshh!! hydro don't give them the idea of changing the font

[HoHoMaN90]

instead of an ocr why not create a module that will parse the html for the login page and show the I'mage in the program and let the user put in what he sees. might eli'minate the need for a lot of extra work. jsut a though

[Neo]

hey I just got adams address mwhahaha ill kick hi'm extra hard

[Shivi]
