Honestly it's not about profits, potential or otherwise. It's much more about convenience and automation of mundane tasks.

I'll make one next.

 

What settings/grids do you want? A diagram is most helpful.

I'm at work. I'm sure someone else can provide a solid flowchart though.

Then get off codex and do some work?

have it load a list with the max price/ item, an option to search a random item on the list or do the list in order, a max quantity option, have it automatically put stuff into the sdb if it hits the invo limit, have it buy out the entire shop stock of the item if more then one result appears on the list buy out all of them in order from cheapest to most expensive until limit is reached, the ability to loop the list/ search just one item constantly, are what i can think of off the top of my head im sure others can add to this

 

Suggestion for the main program though is change how the scripts are run id like to be able to add multiple of the same one to run at different points say you set the auction script to run for 10 minutes have it run then the auto pricer then the auction again(or have it run the pricer when it puts something into the shop) and the ability to set break points into the scripts would be great so you can run the kad feeder and have it break after a successful feed then run the aution sniper again for an hour or however long it takes for the ability to feed again, or when it hits a shop wiz ban in one of the scripts add an option to run the script(s) that dont take the shop wiz like shape shifter or if you havent hit the limit doing moneytree/rubish dump while waiting on a wiz ban till its up then resume doing what it was previously  will reduce wasted time and make the bot more human like as humans dont just stop playing on neopets when they hit a wiz ban they might go take a break for a bit but they dont just wait an hour then come back like nothing at all happend

add a section for logging random events and another thing you can add is a random event generator (pretty much you just load a page over and over looking for the random message) and have the user set a page to refesh at so people doing it on the mains can get so of the annoying refreshing avatars and it dosent even have to be a separate script it can be global and only run when the shop wiz is banned hell have it randomized so that when it gets a random it has like a 1/10 chance of just sleeping for the rest of the ban a 2/10 chance of taking a break for a % of the ban and a 7/10 chance of just keeping refreshing

Most of this (besides the event generator) is already on my to-do list. Over the next week I have about thirty minutes of free time to work on this project. It's all a matter of time and money.

Having a problem since last night.

 

It keeps saying I need to update to (v0.8.24.2) but the version in the download link is (v0.8.24.0).

[TheOneAndOnly]

Working now for some reason.

[Valorous]

New update. It will be extremely apparent what has changed.

[gotvacien]

that problem i was having was because it was on a crafting faerie quest and it was trying to search the shop wiz for nc items you should put a catch in for that to abandon it because it returns a blank sw page and crashes it the items it wanted where

That crash happened due to a bug in the webservice. Reports are automatically sent to me to handle.

 

Roadmap (in no particular order):

- USAB

- On shopwizard ban automatically do a bot that does not require the shop wizard.

- Individually configurable bot instances (in the new enabled bots list).

- Daily Doer (no real profit so it's really low on my to-do list).

Another thing I might suggest.

 

A scheduler, or at the very least a timer so you can specify how long to wait before it moves to the next bot.

Every bot besides the KitchenQuests and AutoPricer has a time to work for field.

[enavep]

I think you could put an auto updater. To update the programs in the software itself and automatically.

Noobish question, probably, but how do you activate and deactivate bots in the newest version?

[gotvacien]

click the left column and hit the del(ete) key on your keyboard to remove something from the list and use the drop down menu to pick something put something in the bottom one that remains blank to add something else to the list when you hit start it will run the entire list once

I've recently started to use your Kitchen Quest automator, nice work!

 

Could you add more info/options to the bot?

• Custom wait times for the paranoid, the current speed seems quite fast to be human-like
• Report the cost of the quest, how much was spent or how much it would cost in the case the cost limit was exceeded.
• Maybe log the results as well? The user message / screenshot is nice but I'd like to see a summary of the quest results.
• Option to put all the quest item rewards into your shop

Also, how many times the bot searches/refreshes the quest item prizes before it buys them or decides they're too expensive?

[TheOneAndOnly]

Happening to me too.

[shorty1995]

I hope it gets fixed. the only thing i really use is the money tree grabber. I love it! It has grabbed stuff that makes me alot of money

[Valorous]

That error has been fixed.

1. On my to-do list.
2. You always know that the cost was less than the limit you set if it was successful but I will still list the cost. It does not know the cost of the quest if the limit was exceeded. Knowing this would cause more frequent shop wizard bans. If at any item the cost limit is exceeded it gives up.
3. On my to-do list.
4. On my to-do list.

EDIT: KitchenQuest now reports cost. KitchenQuest now has delay settings.

is there anyway i can keep the bot from taking my snagged items from the money tree & putting them in my shop? All my map pieces got moved!

I'll add a toggle for that, lol.

thankyou!!!! i love your work!!! you are super smart!!!

Latest version (0.8.25.6) gives an error 'There is no row at position 0' previous versions worked perfectly. Loving the work, any intentions to bring a Pet Trainer to it?

[Mandie]

Tried running kad feed for an hour last night, but I missed them all. Was I just unlucky or should I 'carefully' tweak the settings (and to what)?

 

Awesome program!

Can't reproduce your bug without additional input.

There is already an adequate pet trainer on these forums.

Decrease the time between searchs as you see fit.
