new bots

[danked]

I still see people running around on my server anyone know of any bots for 3.1 please?

[just-J]

i pay 10 bucks a month for Mimic.. www.mmomimic.com great community, easy bot and doesn't seem like blizzard can get to them like they got to panda. 3.1 compatible bot is up and running, still a few bugs but those are getting tackled this week. It always runs in the background so running more than one WoW (as long as your computer can handle it) isn't a problem. There is also a pvp bot that works pretty well from what i hear and i believe you get that with the same 10 bucks.

Pros:
Easy to use/configure
Good support (with people that speak english)
Runs in the background
No scripting needed

Cons:
10 bucks a month
can't run multiple copies with the same 10 dollar key
the bot looks a little botty when running, it stops to turn a little
no fly&mine QQ : (

I already posted this on mmowned.. and I think that it might interest some of the guys who used to bot with zolo..

Project BabBot
==============

.Introduction
-------------

It looks like with the latest patch, a lot of bots have been taken offline due to legal problems with their authors. If you've been following the cases, all of them were related to money being made out of such programs. This made me think about giving a kick to this whole affair of closed source bots and get something going within the community to have a working bot that is made by those who use it. Some months ago, me and a friend, decided to write our own bot in C#, mainly as a test of what could be done and in part because of the lack of features of other bots available for free. The idea, now, would be to let other developers jump on the boat and give them full access to the source code and start releasing it to the community in a completely free form.

.Management
-----------

Management of the project will be on a controlled open source (pass me the term), meaning that sources will be held on a private repository and access to them will be given to developers willing to join the project. The only reason to this is to prevent the source code to leak easily to Blizzard or any of their affiliates. This should reduce the chances of having them on our tail from day one.
All of the releases will be free, with no payments, donations or anything going on. We do not want to offer Blizzard any hook to shut us down.
Me and the co-author of the bot will maintain the role of guiding the project throughout its evolution and we will of course keep working on the code along with the other developers involved. But, as stated before, this will be a community project and thus it will be the community itself to suggest us where to go.

.Current Status
---------------

At the time I'm writing this, the bot is working with version 3.0.9 of the client and I have to test it with 3.1.0
There is a basic framework that lets the bot interact with the client without any code injection, there's support for external C# scripts that can be loaded at runtime to provide all the logic of the bot that can thus be further enhanced by anyone in the community who can code a few lines of C#.
Basic movement, anti-stuck and combat functions are already in.
Some parts still need to be completed, like the waypoint navigation system, key bindings, a better timing function.. there's a lot to do and a lot to enhance to have a complete bot, but I'm pretty sure that if there's enough interest and enough people willing to contribute we could pull this off in a very short time.

.So what are you looking for?
-----------------------------

I'm looking for replies to this post to evaluate if this project can be shared by some or most of the community or if it's just like shooting into a pool of water. If there's enough interest, I'll get this rolling. At the same time, I'm more than willing to listen to different proposal, if any. The goal is still the same: having a free working bot to which different people can contribute to further enhance it.
On a side note, it would have been better if Panda opened his zolobot to the community as it would have been a far better starting point. But his decision is his only. So.. here we are.

hi m8 the best advice i can give is to give zfuser and wowpanda a shout and see if they'll help

[superxdude]

I am willing to help test this out if needed.

Can run multiple copies or single copies...have multiple computers to to test this.

tanis ... go for it .. i'm happy to see that people are willing to free the world

I have spawned this discussion on MMowned and GameDeception, so it's a bit scattered all over different forums, but at least all of you guys can keep an eye on what we're discussing about. The main point right now is to decide if going fully open source or not.

Basically I wanted to go open source from day one, but there are many implications with it as we are basically talking about opening a project that is against the terms of service of the game itself and that uses reverse engineering which is illegal in most countries.

Don't you think this forum is monitored now? I also didn't see any wowpanda posts since a couple of weeks.

And who cares if its monitored?

The project is set up at SourceForge. As it is Open Source, everyone has anonymous access to the SVN to grab the source code.

If you're interested in testing, just register on the forums at the project's page and let me know that you're interested in getting in the "test" team so that we can come up with a list of people to send compiled binaries to when we need to test some features.

If you are interested in helping with the development, please register at Sourceforge and let me know either there or through a PM here your username and specialization (in case we haven't talked already) and I'll make sure to add you to the developers list on SourceForge.
