BOT WRITING - need some help getting started

[sethinsd]

Perhaps the creator of archaelogybuddy or fishingbuddy can help me out and give me all the details in terms of getting started writing my own bot. For example, I want to pop up a window with a text box, and whenever my character in in range of that target it will target it in game, and cast some spell on it. Something simple like that just to get me going.

A mini - tutorial, if you will.

Eventually I'd like to track what my target is casting and write rules for specific things... but I want to enable the configuration of this in the settings. For example, having my rogue auto cast cloak if being targeted with polymorph. That type thing. I know there are many people using stuff like this in arenas - I will instantly get blinded after using my trinket, provided the rogues blind cooldown is available sometimes.

go into the bots folder in HB and look at combatbot.cs
if you can understand it great..

so obviously I need visual studio - any other recommended tools for examining memory processes etc? simple debugging process?

if you want to start from scratch and looking for offsets etc - look into using ollydbg - then look into WriteProcessMemory/ReadProcessMemory (can be found in MSDN C# documentation) for reading process/writing process there are places for more information e.g mmowned(not sure if I can put the link?)

otherwise if your looking to make plugins then look around the forums.

no, I don't want to start from scratch, I meant how to make a honorbuddy/bots type bot - I just need a little handholding getting started, I'm a fairly intelligent software developer, just need someone to start the engine please.
IE:
step 1) install visual studio
step 2) ???
step X) compile your dll, and place into /bots/yourbotname
profit

if you havent already take a look at my CC Creation guide for beginners, in the Development section, it will run down how to setup a project and import what you need to get access to the api, from there instead of using the template i provided for CC's import a bot base, and learn how they work. theres 3 or 4 that are open source, so that would be a good place to start.
