My one (tiny) complaint with Abrosia: shops clearing and checking for RS ban

I'll start by saying this program is great, and has absolutely changed the way I make np and play the game.

 

I'm sure I'm not the only person to have experienced this problem.

 

Due to the way the shops work now, all the shops will clear, and Abrosia will think I am RS banned. 

 

Now, sometimes it will check and find a shop with items and carry on. But sometimes it can't find a shop with items because everything has cleared, and it thinks I am RS banned when in actuality I am not. 

 

I will try stopping and starting, but Abrosia insists I am banned when I am sure it is just shops clearing. 

 

This unfortunately has cost me a few items, and when I missed a r99 right now I decided to finally comment on it.

 

I am not really sure if there even is a real fix for this, because when shops clear it looks exactly as if you are RS banned. 

 

I guess one solution could be to make it an option to NOT check for RS ban, and just keep refreshing through the clear if you choose for that to happen. This is not an ideal solution because obviously keeping the aber running when you are actually RS banned is very stupid and will get you frozen, but since I babysit the ab, and am always around and aware when it is running, I believe that option would be viable for me personally.

 

Anyway, thanks to neocodex for this awesome program. I'm really not sure there is a real solution to this problem, I just wish there was a way to keep refreshing through the clear instead of checking for an RS ban if you so choose.

 

 

EDIT: Turns out this is already an option, I just wasn't seeing it because I use the manual list option rather than using the neocodex database as a list. This thread can be removed!

    Can you help me out and remind me where that option is? I can't seem to find it and that would be a big help!

     

    The only thing I see pertaining to rs bans is check for rs ban every x minutes, but it wont accept 0 as an input, and even if you put a really small number, it will start trying to check to see if you are banned if shops clear and the same problem occurs. 

     

    This is especially unfortunate for me because when the shops are clear is when good items are more likely to appear, and I often will miss the restock because the program is checking for RS ban instead of refreshing at the cleared shop

     

    edit: you are right, I do see the option to disable checking RS ban in empty shops! But you can only use it if you use the neocodex database, and I have been using a manual list. I am going to try and check the neocodex database box, and then check the box to stop checking RS ban in empty shops, and then go back to the manual list. Maybe that will work.

     

    Thank you

    You're doing the exact opposite of what you're trying to do. When you set the number of minutes to check between bans, it checks after that many minutes. Putting 5 means it checks every five minutes, and if the shops have cleared, it'll think you're banned and act accordingly. The solution I found is to put a massive number (I currently use 450) and disable AAA and Igloo (which don't work properly anyways) so that it never bothers to check for a ban, and you can just keep running it.

    Oh ok, thanks for the tip

     

    as I said in my edited original post, I found the solution to this program. I just disable checking for RS ban whenever I am babysitting the aber. 

     

    I wasn't seeing that option because I always use the manual list, and that option is greyed out unless you select to use the neocodex database instead of a manual list

     

    But, if you click to use the database, then disable checking for restock bans, it still disables the restock ban checking even if you click back onto a manual list.

     

    A small improvement may be to make this bubble checkable regardless of database or manual list, but it really isn't so much of an issue that it really requires checking.

     

     

    Recently I have been having trouble running the aber at all! I think it is because neo is lagging so badly, but the program will run for about a minute (if I can get it to run at all,) and will stop functioning due to errors. 

     

    The weird thing is I installed the program on my backup laptop which runs linux, and the program runs perfectly in linux under WINE, whereas I can't get it to function for the life of me on windows. 

     

    Just shows how awesome neocodex is though, that their products run on linux using WINE :) I am pretty sure no other neopets cheating site has programs that will function on linux

     

    now if I could only get the damn aber to run! I am considering just using a vpn (with a static proxy) for my main account, and just using no proxy for all my abing . 

     

    Along with the added lag from my vpn, and the neopets terrible lag, the program just won't function at all. Very sad to miss out on all those morphing potions for a whole day :( but I think neo is letting up a little in the lag and the aber is functioning again!

    Was having the same issue as OP.

    This sorted me right out. Cheers pal.
