ELTank Anti-Idle
By Karid
v0.1
........................
.............................
---- Instructions ----
.............................
1. Download attached file, and place it in your ACTool/macros directory.
2. Load up attached file in ACTool.
3. Start Decal. (Make sure ACTool companion is loaded!)
4. Login to AC as normal
5. Hit F2 to start macro.

This macro SHOULD work great for everyone.
If not, post here and we'll see what we can do.

Why make it more complex than it needs to be?

CODE

SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call
While {activewindow} = Asheron's Call
Delay 285000
SayPaste /t _myname, Reseting ELTank idle timer.
End

just didn't think to write it like that.

whatever works though, right?

Man, this really pissed off the guys on VN.

Maybe i should rename it... nah..

Let'em sweat

Hehe -- in programming, simpler is always better

PS: "this really pissed off the guys on VN" -- who cares, a slight change in the breeze pisses those guys off...

Hehe -- maybe just post the following under a subject like: "El Tank Assistant" and don't put anything else on there (URL's, or any description or sig or anything):

CODE

SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call
While {activewindow} = Asheron's Call
Delay 285000
SayPaste /t _myname, Duh-uh
End

See if they do anything

Anyway you could write one for 2 accounts...Like that could ALT-Tab between the 2...and do this...Thanx

Acually all you genus's here could you write a macro that does what this one does....then have it /tell some1 report?

i'll try to get ya something later on tonight.

Acidlord

Aug 1 2004, 11:52 AM

Ty sir

And one more question....Does this macro run constantly?

Karid

Aug 1 2004, 04:42 PM

yes, when you start it, it runs until you stop it.

Karid

I don't really know if this will work, but if you want to give it a try and let me know what it does i'll try to troubleshoot any problems in it.

change you code to look like this:

CODE

Procedure TellSelf
SayPaste /t _myname, Reseting ELTank idle timer.
End

While 1=1
Delay 241000 // Waits 4m.
Call TellSelf
Keys @ {TAB} // change to second AC window, maybe.
Delay 10 sec // to wait for screens to change over.(dunno if this is needed as i don't use dual log.)
SayPaste /t _myname, Reseting ELTank idle timer.
SayPaste /f report
Keys @ {TAB} // change back to main, maybe.
End

if anyone else can test this and get back to me, that would be great.

Triane

Aug 1 2004, 10:57 PM

Don't think "@ {tab}" will work because it sends that key-combo to the active window (which you haven't defined) try something like this:

CODE

DataSet WindowSwap
Instance = STRING 64
Toon = STRING 64
End

Constants
InstanceCount = 0
End

Procedure LoadNewInstance using InstanceName, ToonName
DSLocate WindowSwap, Instance, $InstanceName
If WindowSwap[Instance] = $InstanceName
DSEdit WindowSwap
Else
DSAppend WindowSwap
End

SetConst WindowSwap[Instance] = $InstanceName
SetConst WindowSwap[Toon] = $ToonName
DSPost WindowSwap
DSCount WindowSwap, InstanceCount
End

// Add as many of these as required to address all running instances of Asheron's Call
Call LoadNewInstance Asheron's Call #1, Some Toon's Name
Call LoadNewInstance Asheron's Call #2, Some Toon's Name

Procedure Say2Me using InstanceNbr
If $InstanceNbr <= $InstanceCount and $InstanceNbr > 0
DSGotoRec WindowSwap, $InstanceNbr
While {activewindow} <> WindowSwap[Instance]
SetActiveWindow WindowSwap[Instance]
Delay 1 sec // Adjust to suit your particular window-change delay req.
End

SayPaste /t WindowSwap[Toon], El-Tank timer reset.
SayPaste /f Report
End
End

While 1=1
Loop $InstanceCount
Call Say2Me {loopno}
End

Delay 285000
End

It's a lot more complex than the original, but that will work for as many windowed sessions as you want to run. Change each assignment of "Asheron's Call #x" to whatever it is your multi-session client names each instance of AC, and change each case of "Some Toon's Name" to the name of the toon you're using on that session. Then fire them all up, and when you're ready to begin, ALT-TAB yourself to ACTool and press F2.

yea, what Triane said.

thats way more than i know how to write.

ima n00b for gods sake!

i haven't use ACTool, since like 2 years ago.

Hiya gang!

I'm a newbie just started out writing my own and have loved everyones' Macros. Just wondered if this Macro:

SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call
While {activewindow} = Asheron's Call
Delay 285000
SayPaste /t _myname, Reseting ELTank idle timer.
End

Would work if the SayPaste line said this if you were Fellowship Leader for a group?

SayPaste /f report

plain and simple....right?

You can put anything you want on the SayPaste line, AFAIK it doesn't make any difference what you @tell or @f, just as long as you put something there, it should reset the ElTank timer.

Everytime i try to run a macro i get the

ERROR: Macro line:whilegroup 1

Caused Error: Access violation.......

What am i doin wrong

CODE

SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call

procedure s every 1 min
keys s
end

//// main

while 1=1
ProcessMessages
end

dont use send text =) use either keys s or one of the camera angel keys i.e. 0-9 use 5 since that reduces lag in some graphic intensive parts of dereth.

great posts! Im new to AC tool, so please help clarify.

I log into AC, start up my el tank, and then open up actool and click f2 to start the macro and have them both run on top of each other right?

I will try it out later and let you know if I have any more questions.

Powda

Triane

Aug 4 2004, 08:46 AM

I understand the allure of using ProcessMessages and an Every event, but it's just not necessary for performing this function. Furthermore it leads to mistakes like the delay-less While loop.

Killa, your code would be MUCH simpler written as so:

CODE

SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call

While 1 = 1
Keys s
Delay 60000
End

As I said up above why make code that's unnecessarily complex?

agreed.

also if i remember right you can just DL ac keep alive from sucromantos site and that does it for yah even alt tabbed. its just a simple decal plugin that send a keystroke to ac through windows api.

SetIdleTimeout - ACTool command that works the same way as the plugins that prevent you logging due to timeout.

Triane

Aug 4 2004, 09:15 PM

I'm pretty sure that SetIdleTimeout doesn't do anything to help you with ElTank's anti-UCM code that requires you to actually press a key or two within a 5 min period or else it shuts off ElT and/or logs you off.

is there a way to respond to certain text? (acct1 @tell acct2//acct2 @respond to acct1) to keep both accts active

Triane

Aug 6 2004, 11:00 AM

Code on first bot:

CODE

SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call

While 1 = 1
SayPaste /t 2nd bot's name, Some message
Delay 60000
End

Code on second bot:

CODE

SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call

ClearPluginVar _tellname
While 1 = 1
If _tellname <>
If _tellname = 1st bot's name
SayPaste /r Some message
End
ClearPluginVar _tellname
Else
Delay 1000
End
End

.
That should do it...

how would I go about using the same script as above but scanning the incoming text for a password and if the password is right then perform x function..
I got a anti tank script too been working on it, don't know much....

it seems to work good so far

CODE

// Logs you out of AC
Procedure Logout
Keys ~{ESC} // Doing it 3x just to make sure;)
Delay 1000
Keys ~{ESC}
Delay 1000
Keys ~{ESC}
Keys {F2}
End
// Procedure Tank Alive basically keeps tank running
Procedure TankAlive
SayPaste /ELT STOP
Sendtext 2, Keeping Tank Alive!.
DELAY 1000
SayPaste /ELT START
End
// Checks Vitae If it's greater then 0 it logs out
Procedure CheckVP
If _MyVitae > 0
Sendtext 2, Dammit! Died, Pausing Macro and Logging off.
Call Logout
End
End
//==========Main Procedure=========
While 1=1
SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call
Call TankAlive
Call CheckVP
Call ChatMsg
DELAY 60000 // 60 second timer
End

the start and stop is really not needed.

QUOTE

Procedure TankAlive
SayPaste /f Keeping Tank Alive!.
End

The dirty version I've been using is:

QUOTE

// This line is necessary to select the proper window
SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call

// Allows for AC to come to the screen (10 seconds)
DELAY 10000

SayPaste /ELT WV
SayPaste /ELT Start

While 1=1
Delay 280000
SayPaste /f Keep Alive
End

I'm a little bit of a dummy when it comes to computers.... Actually, a lot dummy...

When I click on the link provided in this post, all I get is a blank screen with a little square (with a square in it, a triangle and a circle I think) in the upper left hand corner. I can't do anything with that little square.

And I don't really know what you guys are saying when you start with the little prgram boxes in your posts...

So, could I get a step by step dummies guide on how to stop the timer on El Tank...

That would be most appreciated... Thnx

OKay, I know nothing of AC Tool other than I was refered by a friend to this Macro...

In anycase, I was wondering, would there be some way to @tell a specific person? I mean, say, someone who you know isn't logged in, but by @t'ing them, you're still reseting the timer...

Or would that work for @f as well if you weren't part of a fellow?

-N.A.H.

*Edit*

Perhaps I can answer my own question using this code from above:

CODE

SetActiveWindow Asheron's Call

While 1 = 1
SayPaste /t NameOfOfflinePerson, You there?
Delay 60000
End

Would that be right?

Also, I'm assuming you can use this program in relation to AC Dual Client as well, running windowed mode correct? So, theoretically, I could run 2 seperate Macros, each @t'ing a different offline person, keeping El Tank enabled. Similiar idea as the bot theory above, just a little simpler perhaps?

Triane

Sep 21 2004, 06:04 PM

You can't use ACTool with two (or more) iterations of the ACClient. At least, not if you're going to use any Decal functions.

If you're NOT using any decal functions, you just need to be able to discern between the clients you have running. The new dataset Cam put in should enable you to do that dynamically.

Good luck!

Thanks for the response Triane!

If it isn't easly done, then I won't concern myself with it... (Dislikes having to re-install a broken AC)

In any case, would the snippit of code I posted earlier work fine? Thanks ahead of time.

I gotta tell ya, I really hate the whole Chuck Norris thing, but this made me laugh.

If I put that spam on my buffbot in Asheron's Call, the townspeople would form an ugly crowd and chase him up to the castle with torches and pitchforks.

And I'm talking about the NPC's, not the players.
