GF Bots....for a while

[snowboarder]

Well with the new update the main bot site is down so enjoy having alot more resources when doing your skilling and such. But enjoy it while you can :)

[Novusgamer]

don't forget that the wildy ditch update has stopped green drag bots in chaos tunnels!!

[RS2FactSheet]

To be frankly honest, this will do very little to nothing to stop botting. All they have to do is rework some simple lines of codes, and their bots should be functional again.

[stonewall337]

What do you mean "main bot site"?

[Triquos]

There was some post I thought was absolute brilliance to combat the bot situation. The person said Jagex should move objects (sought after by bots) a few spaces. Whether it be yew trees or whatever. I personally think it was an epic suggestion because the bots wouldn't know what to do lol, in fact they would probably walk in circles or face the corner of a wall. Jagex could change it randomly just like the g.e. so the cheaters would never be able to use bots efficiently.

 

As for the current situation, it won't change things much. Like the saying goes... Botters gonna bot

[Gailnico321]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but botters today don't use mouse recorders all too often. They use a program that detects colours, I think.

Could be wrong, but yeah.

[Maxana32]

Think they might also use something that records a pattern of specific pixels on the screen and clicks the sequence over and over.

lool

Ye, you are wrong. There are a number of ways, but they don't go on color alone.

[GottaGetDownOnfriday]

Some use client hooks to get ID's then use advanced mouse motion algorithms and mechanisms to determine where to click and can click via ID of objects. Color bots and ghost mouse are very detectable.

[pulli23]

lol no bot would use colour or something..

 

They use the internal data of the applet (the server tells your applet simply: hey at x,y should be a monster, or better: "at x,y is item I"). Then your applet thinks by itself: "alright item I should be drawn there, now that means this and that model has to be loaded and drawn". Now the bots have learned how to read that data (not that difficult anyone with professional java & asm experience should be able to make it) and understand it (just requires a human interface to link the indices to real items).

 

 

Towards runescape nothing else (in the most basic format) than: "hey I clicked at position x,y". - A bot would just sent this data (no need for a mouse or anything).

lool

LOL, bot FAIL.

And there all lvl 100+ :( sad

 

Here are the total levels for those "supposed" bots

 

Bye2death - 1,651 - 99atk, str - 98 cons - 96 def -

xale - 1366

thunder9751 - 1,235

tyugtj - 1,410

cometnebula - 1,663

niyamei2 - not on high score list only atk,str,def and con was

 

none of them had any inpressive lvls or anything, was hoping for some1 with like 2k+ total to flame :P

[anonymouse_]

They'll be back.

@ Kierato

 

I think it's against the rules to post pics of players "cheating".

Like many have said, it's a matter of time before new macros are released.

 

All you lazy people don'T worry, raw materials won't be affected for too long.

[@Dan3HitU]

Clearly you know nothing about bots and how their scripts work. This update does nothing to stop bots. All they'd have to do for the Green Dragon thing is change the script a tiny bit, probably just one line actually.

[Grimy_Bunyip]

Jagex should take the opportunity to ban a few while they're all trapped in the same place :P

Give it a day... :mellow:

I meant tip.it's rules by the way. Gonna check on it...

 

Edit : from tip.it forum rules

1.5 - Naming Names

 

 

Naming people or their characters in a negative light is not permitted. That person is not able to defend themselves or their actions and what seems like an inappropriate action (which can often be a simple misunderstanding) can lead to a negative reaction against that person

Ahh, I thought you were focusing on the "cheating" part instead of showing ppl cheating.

But as I see it, kierato isn't naming anyone in a negative light. All that pic shows is some botters that are "broken, and not naming anyone specifically, even if the names are shown.

This

 

I did not cast them in a negative light. They cast themselves in a negative light. And they are present on all worlds pretty much.

[snowboarder]

all im saying is the main bot site "<link removed>.org" didn't wanna say name incase it offends anyone but its down for a while because of the new setup page so it's gonna take a while to fix. go to the website yourself and see.

 

Removed link leading to a botting site ~ Jimmy_Jim

@ Kietaro and those responding to his picture

 

I have no doubt that these players are probably botters, hence cheaters and deserve the bad publicity of having their names shown on a forum. But the thing is, being pretty sure is not a garantee of guilt.

 

I'm not arguying the fact that every world is filled wth "players" blocked at the ditch wearing green dragons hunting gear. Just saying a pic showing names in a bad light, even though these players "asked" for it, is against the rules on these boards.

There are two ways to find stuff in RS, that both humans and bots use.

 

One is remembering where the object is. Everybody does this for some of the greater resources, like yew trees, magic trees, rune ore, etc. The second is searching for what your looking for, generally done when there an abundance of resource, like normal trees.

 

Doing a search algorithm is slower then looking at just 3-4 tiles, but consider that bots would not have to search more then once. All they would have to do is have the script search the area for all the id's of whatever they want and store it in variables.
