ok, it seems this just happens if you try to autostart via windows task... or no admin rights...

already solved

 

[pushedx]

Yea, some Windows stuff is kinda tricky, in that case, the base path was set to "C:\Windows\system32".

 

[Dbuddy]

i didn't try once again.

but whats the easiest option to fix it? I just want to autostart EB via Windows Task (30 sec timer)...

 

[Dbuddy]

bump

 

[pushedx]

Not sure, sorry! It's a windows specific thing, You can try reading this, but I've not really messed with it before.

 

[Dbuddy]

will try this today.

but is windows scheduler the only way to autostart EB with a delay? i haven't found any other tools.

tony mentioned something, but as always it's only a snippet.

i gave up to beg for a relogger

but at least i wanna figure out how to autostart EB after windows start.

 

[toNyx]

Batch... Batch... Batch... get your basics straight...

your main issue is the execution path, since winsched use sys32 as root execution path.

make a batch with some timers and you should be fine, you could even add args to chose profile and so on.

Nobody will ever throw out a relogger, due to the fact it's pretty hard to realize and sustain, code-wise.

but there's some tools you can use/code to perform as if it was a relogger.

ping -n 31 localhost > nul
start "" "C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\EB\EB.exe" --config:default

If you want to create auto relogger your best shot is to use autoit/autohotkey
Also you should disable UAC

Thanks tonyx and fasterthanlight.

is EB starting with this or do i still need autoit?
well, i can try in a few hours when i am at home....


lets sum up the issues which cause a bot to stop:


a) Game has been updated (proably the worst case because autorelogger cannot do the update-work instead of the devs... )
b) Game app-crash or ingame errors like mapchuck whatever
c) Game stuck at loading characters
d) EB app-crash
e) EB stops (sometimes a simple fix is to "start")
f) VPN drops (renewal mechanics or server troubles)
g) host internet-connection drops/laggy for seconds/minutes and EB relogger failed

like tony says: pita to configure all this for a working relogger....


at least b) c) d) e) would help alot...

For the details :

a) Exilebuddy (from few versions, asked by us fellow devs) now has an exit code, it means that if the bot starts but can't attach because of a random reason (see below)

an error is catchable by many ways.

b) blame ggg their shit is so bad
c) depends which kind of stuck you're talking about.
d) can rarely happen, except if you use some badly coded plugins or something
e) usually related to an error handled by a plugin itself, or memory issues
f) Well, nothing much we can do about it
g) this is pretty pita, the only way to know if it happens is to perform a ping/host check every loop, and some ISPs don't like this.

b is pretty much happening only in VMs, for some reasons
c has never happend to me, except in the case I spelled the name like a moron
d never happend, except when I dev and do something funny that locks up the bot haha
e shouldn't happen if the bot is correctly configured and if the state of your bot seems good
