    • Download and install Xcode from the App Store
    • Open Xcode and go to Preferences (Cmd + ,)
    • Go to Downloads tab and install Command Line Tools
    • Log out and log in or restart (required to refresh the environment)
• Download and extract Mechanize to a folder
• Go to the folder in CMD (Windows) or Terminal
• Enter "python setup.py install" (Mac and Linux users may require sudo)
• If no errors, repeat for PyAMF

Despite being able to set up a new habitarium, this bot will not build houses and storages!
Please make sure there are houses and storages on the map. Extras in the inventory will be built automatically but not guaranteed before the P3s are tired (prevents continuing until all current P3s die after a week).

Usage Instructions:

• Download and extract the habitarium bot to a folder
• Go to the folder in CMD (Windows) or Terminal
• Enter "python client.py"
  Advanced users may enter "python client.py -h" for additional options
• Enter Neopets account details when asked
• Press Ctrl+C to stop the program

Thank you for this!!!

[Neoquest]

I will give this a look. Thanks Kway.

 

[Fikri]

FINALLY.

 

thanks a lot, @Kway!

alright, question - does it kills pest for extra xp?

[Rocket]

Awesome! Can't wait to test it out one of these days

[KaibaSama]

For once something is simpler on a mac than windows. XD . I want to hug you right now. Thank you so much!

[iKate]

Yay, that's awesome! Thank you

About time

 

And there should be no need to install VS2008 just to run a python app - are you sure this is necessary? 

 

And after reading your OSX instructions, Xcode for OS X?!

[Dita]

This is AMAZING, thanks so much @Kway!

[badpotato32]

wow this is great thank you for this

You need to compile the extra libraries which means installing Visual Studio or Xcode. You could use a newer Visual Studio but python 2.7 might not be happy and may have problems.

There must be a simpler way. Xcode is 2GB (!) and VS is probably about the same. That's a pretty large prerequisite.

You could take mechanize's source and put them in the same folder as my habi bot because there is no C code to compile. I think the same can also be done for PyAMF but you would have to check and patch out the C code.

Thanks for this. I closed the program and then for some reason it kept quitting, and this fixed it.

I've got a question though, is it normal for the program to be showing the exact same thing like "moved nest 24 (1,2)to square (1,2) for repairs" without updating? (If they're just gathering resources and there's nothing to move, it wouldn't update correct? Sorry, I just want to be sure I'm not messing anything up).

Can you send me a log or screenshot of it? My bot still finds new ways to be stupid.

[twobada]

Thank you so much for this! It was definitely worth downloading VS and all that.

I have two questions though, is it supposed to move 2 storages and buy 16 nests?

 

Edit: It's also giving me this error. I wonder what I did wrong...

Oh god thank you

[hodor]

I've restarted a bunch of times, but whenever I use the cmd it gives me this error saying no such file directory exists. I'm typing in everything right, I dl'd everything, and I configured the computer settings as it said. Is this compatible with windows 8?

Have you followed the instructions exactly as they're written?

Word for word, yeah.

[SuperDuperPuppu]

I will also second the error. I completed everything word for word, but ran into trouble for installing mechanize. It gave me an errno 2 file cannot be found. I tried to extract the whole mechanize folder to C:\Python27\lib\site-packages. I did the same of PyAMF (since the CMD option also gave errno2). The program still doesn't work.

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.
