[PATCH] AuctionHouse Bot

[xeross155]

It should take approximately 1 minute to start its first run. Make sure you configured it properly in both the config file and the database tables.

Ok thanks. I have gone over the settings many times to no avail, but I'll keep looking.

[xeross155]

Make sure you have the new config settings instead of the old ones, and make sure you don't have double config settings cus that's why I couldn't get it to work a while back ^^.

[mfour]

I have made the changes in the config from your repo, so that is all good. What do you mean with double config settings?

[xeross155]

I had the same settings twice in my config file, but I doubt you'll have that problem. I'll also check if I didn't mess something up and run a test myself.

[mfour]

Ah I see, no don't have that prob. I can't find the problem, everything looks as it should be, AHBot compiles, and loads fine in consol. Items are shown as loaded, a new bot character was created, logged in, logged out, changed config to accomodate the char GUID and Acc, restarted server, but no items. Thanks for your efforts, much appreciated

BASH script to generate AHbot patch file. I originally wrote this for playerbot, but it works for AHbot as well with a couple of modifications.

#!/bin/bash -x
git clone git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git ahbot
cd ahbot
git fetch git://github.com/xeross/mangos.git ahbot:ahbot
HASH=`git log ahbot --pretty=oneline | grep -m 1 '\\[9[0-9]\\{3\\}]' | cut -d " " -f 1`
git diff $HASH ahbot > ../ahbot.patch

Well back to the matter, anyone can do the changes so AHbot doesn't use a player?

I could do it but firth I have to learn C syntax and stuff, and then how the internal code for de AH work, so it may take some time before I'm ready just to start

[vladex]

i dont think that is posibble, you need an account and a character to put items into the AH , the items in ah cant be inserted by " no one"

[Darkruler]

Can't we copy the existing code for adding an item to the auctionhouse and mod the check for player ID (and thus the name of the player that puts it on the AH) to use a preconfigured name (like Ahbot) and preconfigured ID (like 90000) that way the patch won't need database support does it

[nyko]

i don't see what is the matter with a character for ahbot?

[thyphoon]

It is as possible if anyone is willing to implement it.

@mfour

I have the same problem. everything runs without errors but does not find objects in the action house. have you found your errors?

excuse my English. google helps.

[xeross155]

I basically replaced MinimalLoad with the following code (Which still works)

Code C++:

void Player::Initialize(uint32 guid )

{

Object::_Create( guid, 0, HIGHGUID_PLAYER );

}

So it's not yet at the point where the devs want it, but it's a step forward from MinimalLoadFromDB

[EARTHWALKER]

Tried that and after doing this line:-

HASH=`git log ahbot --pretty=oneline | grep -m 1 '\\[9[0-9]\\{3\\}]' | cut -d " " -f 1`

I got this error:-

EARTHWALKER@THEBEAST c:/mangos/ahbot (master)
$ HASH=`git log ahbot --pretty=oneline | grep -m 1 '\\[9[0-9]\\{3\\}]' | cut -d "
" -f 1`
grep: invalid option -- m
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.

Any clues?

I have the same problem as a few above. I compile fine and use the newer configs but when entering game nothing is found in auctionhouse? Any idea where i went wrong.

Hi,

Looking at your first code box, I noticed that the commandline

$ HASH=`git log ahbot --pretty=oneline | grep -m 1 '\\[9[0-9]\\{3\\}]' | cut -d "

and

" -f 1`

are broken with what looks like a carriage return.

try removing it, to look like this

HASH=`git log ahbot --pretty=oneline | grep -m 1 '\\[9[0-9]\\{3\\}]' | cut -d " " -f 1`

I can confirm that it works on my linux box

#!/bin/bash -x
git clone git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git auction
cd auction
git fetch git://github.com/xeross/mangos.git ahbot:auction
git checkout auction
HASH=`git log --pretty=oneline | grep -m 1 '\\[9[0-9]\\{3\\}]' | cut -d " " -f 1`
git diff $HASH > ahbot.patch

I also note from your command prompt, that your using windows. Maybe the bash shell that your running the script in does not support this '-m' option for grep.

Hope this helps

[xeross155]

As it seems multiple people are having troubles getting this new version to work I'm currently testing it.

[xeross155]

These are the config variables I have on my testserver, and they work, dunno what can be wrong, maybe your merge is messing up ?

AuctionHouseBot.Seller.Enabled = 1
AuctionHouseBot.Buyer.Enabled = 1
AuctionHouseBot.Account = 5
AuctionHouseBot.Character = 2
AuctionHouseBot.Items.Vendor = 0
AuctionHouseBot.Items.Loot = 1
AuctionHouseBot.Items.Misc = 0
AuctionHouseBot.Bind.No = 1
AuctionHouseBot.Bind.Pickup = 0
AuctionHouseBot.Bind.Equip = 1
AuctionHouseBot.Bind.Use = 1
AuctionHouseBot.Bind.Quest = 0
AuctionHouseBot.ItemsPerCycle = 200
AuctionHouseBot.BuyPrice.Seller = 0
AuctionHouseBot.BuyPrice.Buyer = 0

[EARTHWALKER]

I tried it without the -m and even more errors popped up so can't continue to get the patch, not that I would have a clue how to integrate the patch anyway.

Thanks for trying though, but now I know this is for linux anyway, I won't waste hours trying it over and over again thinking I'd typed something wrong.

Hopefully someone will either come up with some windows commands or just a patch and a way to SVN it as I can do that. I wouldn't have a clue how to integrate a patch with this git thing. I'd have a better time translating outer-mongolian

[vladex]

you can add a patch by using this command : patch -p1 < nameofpatch.patch

but you can do it with svn as well

[EARTHWALKER]

Thanks m8... WOOT.

I grabbed a patch from further up, did what you wrote and bingo!

Now to get the bugger working on the server. Should be easy now the difficult part is out of the way

[xeross155]

I have my modification working just fine, weird other people can't get it to work

[EARTHWALKER]

Patch added fine, compiled fine, realmd and mangosd all work fine, ahbot loaded with the console displaying thousands of items loaded, enter server ok, check AH and

No items. Now I am lost..lol.

[xeross155]

This is weird I don't know why it isn't working because it seems to work here.
