This just started today, but apart from Abrosia not buying anything at all (not even registering a miss), there seems to be something wrong with the shop stock count. Eg I counted only 11 items, but it displays 20 #items in shop at the bottom of the program. Anyone else having issues?

I've brought this up to programmers before via messaging system. No answer yet.

I can confirm that this has happened to me before.

So does it mean it is no longer happening? What do you do to fix it

Nothing, it was towards the end of my daily rotation when I noticed it. I exited out, and the next day it was fine.

Ah. but in the meantime did it actually buy anything?

[Shane]

It will still buy items.

[Brenwan]

Well i've had it on for 5 hours and it only showed 3 items in magic ( all 3 missed). Im actually on borderline risky settings so i think there is definitely something wrong with the ABer-it's not attempting to buy anything at all

[Shane]

Depends on your internet speeds also.

My average buy speed is 1650ms.

50mb internet wired.


Edit: Also I wouldn't start off in Magic if you haven't already Auto bought on the account and have gotten items before, or legit restocked good items. It's a flag warning if you just start restocking and automatically get good items, especially in magic. Magic is a fast shop, with high risk, and lots of people restocking there.

I have rs'd at magic before, im not concerned.

I also use lan cables with an extremely fast connection (HD movies in 30mins or so) so it cannot be internet connection.

my avg buy speed is 1400-1800 or so. But all of a sudden today the stock count error just happened and the program seems to be doing scat?

[Shane]

I haven't gotten anything today either, although that could just mean nothing has really restocked also.

[Brenwan]

I'm quite sure it has, because I'm on another shell-I just happened to walk in on magic to check if it was indeed the program and I luckily saw a few MPs on my buylist (not just one). Then when I looked at the program, it registered nothing-not even a 'sold out' attempt

Might be a problem going on then. I've seen the shop restock and items leave even at like 25k profit only in Stamp. Hmmm.

[Brenwan]

It's been a day and ABer still not working for magic, toy and some other shops. Very frustrating

[RKO]

I restocked over 200 items today, over 1300 on HPD. Its been working fine for me...

 

Did any of you consider that your profit minimums might be set to high? Or you're in shops that are stocked full of junk items and nothing else can stock?

 

I did notice the shop stock count was off several times on HPD, but I attributed that to me constantly switching shops.

Speeds suffered a little last night where I usually avg. about 1400ms per buy and it was hovering around 2000ms but it fixed itself within half an hour and was probably more to do with my internet connection then anything Abrosia related.

Is your minimum set to 1np or are you using 30 accounts ?_?

[RKO]

I'll keep the exact number to myself but it's in the hundreds. It helps "clear" the shop and this shop restocks quite often. 200 items in a 2 hour session is a pretty common occurance. One account BTW.

RKO. I know how to restock. I've restocked for 4+ years.

Even at 25k, there should be at least one item to pop up within hours of having Abrosia on at Stamp.

I clear shops usually down to at least 18 items.

And I restocked 200+ items at Stamp today. Including 2 stamps worth 95k and 120k a piece. All in less then 2 hours.

 

Did you double check your settings?

It only affects certain shops. I can stock fine in stamp, but the ABer just goes totally off in magic, toy and plushies

General Wait Delay: 1.2-2.3
MS Pre-Haggle .1-.1
OCR .1-.1
Shop 58
Profit must be greater than 25k

Had it on for an hour earlier and not even a missed item.


Also these settings closely resemble how fast I restock manually w/ grooveshark ocr/haggle.

[Brenwan]

My settings work perfectly for stamp (apart from missing a few). But do nothing in magic

[Shane]

Well I finally missed an item, but it was in stamp. Maybe just terrible luck for two days. Didn't see one yesterday and one today.

[RKO]

You guys might be onto something here. Even though I restocked over 100 items in the last hour at stamps, I physically watched it miss 3 restocks. By miss, I mean the program froze up on the refreshing store part just as stamps restocked.

 

How do I know it missed 3 restocks? before freezing, there would be, for example, 12 items in the shop. After the freeze, there would be 17 or 18. It seemed to lock up. First time it happened, I thought it was just a bad coincidence. Second time it happened though, not so much. Then it caught a restock, missed several 90k stamps and got me one so I thought it went back to normal. Nope, froze up again. Then it functioned properly on the very next restock. Got one, missed a few, went back to clearing.

 

So I essentially missed out on 3 fresh restocks, completely. On the log, there is no indication of this since it didn't even get a chance to attempt to buy a stamp, but since I was watching it carefully, I saw that it indeed did miss out on several restocks. Weird thing is it only froze up those three times, right before a restock( or right during one?). Maybe there is an issue?

 

The freezes were about 15-20 seconds long, long enough to miss most items worth big NP.

 

Anyways, this was just a small sample. I'm going to AB later tonight and pay close attention to see if there in fact is something up or if it's just an awful coincidence.

 

EDIT: It just hit me, Neopets servers are shit. This used to happen all the time back when I legit restocked. People on the RS/Chat/Snipe boards would all complain about it and attribute it to Neopets servers. It is what it is...(the lags during restocks where the page would load, and load and load forever)

[Brenwan]

I dont think it's a coincident. I also realized that for magic, the #item counts do change-from 18,16,15 except that they are all wrong. There are actually only 11 items in the shop and this has not change. But as I said, it works perfectly well in stamp (all perfect). But for some reason that weird error just occurs in magic, toy and plushies and it simply does nothing
