Hotkeys

Featured Replies

Is it legal if I program some hotkeys to help me smith?

 

For example, F1 presses the mage book, F2 presses superheat, and F3 presses the last ore?

 

Personally, I don't really think that's macroing, since I still have to do everything, just not with a mouse. I mean, mousekeys are allowed, so this should be too?

 

 

Just trying to clear this up...

Unless things have changed recently, I think that's too much.

You're setting one button to move the mouse to a predefined location and click, which is different from mousekeys.

Mousekeys is acceptable because it replaces one action (say, moving the mouse left) with one other (holding num_4).

 

So, if I added one more hotkey for clicking, it'd be perfectly fine? Sounds like pesky technicalities to me.

I'm not a Jagex representative, and I"m not sure how their detection system works, but I'm pretty sure that having the mouse move to a specific location (as opposed to n pixels in a given direction relative to the current location) isn't allowed.

 

It's exactly the same as having mousekeys moving diagonally n pixels.

relative coordinate movements are okay

 

absolute coordinate movements are not okay

Mouse keys use absolute movement if you look into the workings!

First they came to fishing

and I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing

 

Then they came to the yews

and I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews

 

Then they came for the ores

and I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores

 

Then they came for me

and there was no one left to speak out for me.

One click = once action, that's the rule. Moving is considered a separate action, and as such move + click isn't allowed, in addition to what Bladewing said.

 

So you can use f4 opens mage book (default), then f5 moves the mouse relative to the cross of your bank screen to the superheat icon, then f6 clicks, then f7 moves to the last gold ore (measure the distance and set it) then f8 clicks again. Then you need f9 to move from the gold ore back to the superheat icon and repeat the sequence f6-f7-f8-f9.

Honestly, I only need one button for clicking, and two to move from superheat to gold ore and back. I already have the book open, and I'm using furnace + superheat, so I bank manualy.

 

Thank you for the input guys, apreciate it. Over 45k gold to smelt, this will come in handy.

So why is this "wicked" guy not banned?

because jagex is clueless

Because they can't see the difference between an "relative" and "absolute" movement.. They only see the mouse position at a certain position in time. - But with mouse keys you "jump" the mouse at a given keypress, and you can set the jump values in the registry if necessary.. - So if they allow mousekeys they have to allow the mouse jumping from any point to any point.. And then they won't know wether the jump was "relative" or not.

My theory is that they can only track time and click coordinates, not mouse movement.

they do only track the click coordinates & time yes.

 

Though they can track the mouse position at any point if they would like. (Though why would they? - it's a huge waste of bandwidth to do that).

 

They can however NOT track wether a movement was "relative" or "absolute".

That depends on how the absolute movement is programmed... But I'm not going to argue that here, that's for the bot makers to worry about.

 

 

My question has been answered.
