Possible ExileHud Integration for Chest farming.

[zazey]

Hey all! Just a quick question:

I'm sure many if not all of you know what ExileHUD is, if you don't, allow me to explain. ExileHUD is an overlay that provides the client hacks (zoomhack, map hack, and fullbright) as well as a variety of other useful features, mainly being that when you zone into a zone, it immediately tells you which strongboxes and corrupted zones and exiles are in the area. What I am hoping to see possible is if there's a way for the bot to either A) do these functions and enter zones repeatedly for strongboxes, or B)Integrate with ExileHUD.

The ideal goal would be to create a script to say farm zone X for strongbox X. If no strongboxes are in the area it immediatly remakes.

Thanks.

Pretty sure buddy isn't into adding hacks into their bots.

We cannot offer anything that is considered a hack, or allow such things to be shared on the these forums. A hack is simply defined as being able to do something a stock client cannot. E.g., full revealing the map layout in the client, changing zoom distance limitations, or anything of that nature is a no-go.

However, using our API, you have access to a lot of game data. You could write a plugin that sends relevant data to your own external overlay program or anything of that nature, and that's fine. It just cannot modify the client or have the word "hack" in the title. We used to have a map visualizer that was used to help debug the bot, but it was removed a while ago due to bugs with trying to use the API from multiple threads. It will eventually be re-added in the future, but that's an example of something that is allowed.

As for what you mentioned about wanting to do, there is no need to use any types of hacks to do that for botting. The bot can read most of the information the client has, so being able to run an area and farm strongboxes is simply a matter of making the logic to do it. One of the main goals of the Beta rewrite, compared to Release, is having a setup that makes such tasks very easy. The new Beta for 1.2 will be setup in the same way, so if users want to do things like that, they can. I'll try to get some new examples done later to show how to go about it, as it's useful to do that for anything that needs to be farmed in this game: bosses, corrupted areas, strongboxes, and the new masters.
