Bot with visual input

Hi,

I know a little about digital image processing, and I think it is possible to do a bot that "reads the image on the screen" and don't modify the client at all. I was wondering if battle eye would be able to detect that?

I did a simple program that can heal, attack monsters, open monsters, loot (though it can't choose what to loot) using only the image from the game window. I think it is even possible to select loot and follow waypoints.

The game is pretty simple, 2D and sqm based, which doesn't consume too much time to process. Do you guys know any difficulty that would make this approach infeasible?

Thanks

I was able to implement a simple version of this bot.
Here is a video showing it working.
It can loot a few itens (gold), walk simple waypoints, attack monsters, heal.

If you're going to make it for yourself and by yourself, that'd work just fine. If you started selling it that would become a problem. BattlEye works in 2 ways. It blocks bots from working via an effective rootkit, and it detects running bots on the system by filesystem and memory scanning. There are 2 ways in which a "commercial" bot can fail today. Firstly, by distribution to BattlEye, where they will take a binary footprint and scan users systems for the running executable, and secondly by analysis. If a number of users have all been detected by CipSoft system for botting, it might be that they only have 1 thing in common (that binary was running on the system every time).

Whilst it would "work", it would not be efficient nor all that useful. People have done similar in the past and it's fine for auto-healing and what not, but for things as detailed as cavebot events you're gonna have a hard time.

i see the forum has become dead since all servers become protected by battleye
if the bot is going private so battleye wouldnt get a hold of it, switch to darknet or anything like that i would like to be included and willing to pay more... im sure many players here feel the same way
the other option is to just quit tibia and i really dont want to

Hi,

I didn't know that BE analyze all that stuff, but I don't see how this approach will be any different than video streaming? I am only recording my screen, which is completely non related to Tibia, and completely legal.

I don't think that BE is allowed to track/check anything other than Tibia client itself. I mean, it doesn't have any permission to track what I am running on my computer at least.

Yes it its, you allowed battle-eye to do that by installing tibia.

We're still sort of exploring options, but honestly the future of WindBot is still undecided. We can't be sure that we'll find a "fix" for BattlEye, although we know that some are still botting with relog scripts. Moving into any method where the end user runs software on their machine is a huge risk to the security of that software in the fight against BattlEye. There are much easier battles to fight.

BattlEye can literally do what it wants to your computer, in line with their ToS. They can even see what sort of pornography you're watching, if they so wish. The question is how far you can push them before they decide to fight back. Things like an auto-healer or a script for quick looting might be accepted by CipSoft, but if something becomes popular and is "breaking" the game in the way that botting has been, they will for sure do everything they can to stop it. Whilst it's not possible to entirely stop botting, it's possible to prevent it on a large scale.

Doesn't it require permission to do that? Tibia does not run with admin privileges, at least in Linux.

Well, there is always the possibility of running Tibia inside a virtual machine, and the bot outside it. I've always botted in VMs, because bots generally aren't supported in Linux.
Now, in this scenario, it is like someone outside the computer is executing commands. Pretty much like a person does. How would they detect that?

if you can code this i would love to try on my makers :P making some cash to support tibia coins etc..

It is only working on my pc, and it is not 100%..

I will try to make it easy to configure and then share with a few people.

Hello kadenlothar

i did the same, with a 400 line code, a simple noob hunting script completely visual

what language you use? I guess that spoiling this around might actually get you(and me) to lose our macros

I made my own Visual Heal bot, and have been using it without any problems, even passed it to couple of friends, autoheal+anti para

map marks click, battle image click, healer
similar to mine

I was thinking about investing in buying a few chars and making a complexer script for moneymaking, but now that I see everyone doing this, I'm rethinking about it

what language?

Yea goodluck mapclicking if someone energy wall.

Battleye can too block simulate keyboard/mouse and screen shot others commands, if necessary tibia can enable it then i guess in future will be necessary external software because almost impossible to cheat battleye

I have a depot refiller (get potions from depot box), because buying from npc is a little hard to do.
One thing I can't do is keep distance from monsters, mine only works when following monsters (maybe knight only :confused:). How do you keep distance from monsters?

I open monsters immediately when they are killed (similar to loot first option in windbot). Marking monsters is harder I guess, since you don't have coordinates.

I think you can run tibia inside a vm and the bot outside of it. This way battleeye can't detect.


I have another script that generates scripts for the bot , for example (add Node, Stairs left, use hotkey, add item to lootlist, etc..). So the bot is not limited to one waypoint only.

Here video
Not sure why it is low resolution

HELLO MACRO USERS!

Battleye blocked my pc hardware ID's... Not logging in tibia ever again in this machine where I have all my macro set ups, studies, accs and a few stuff

I'll be working around, anyway in the future...

I have a few ideas about running from monsters and other stuff, AI safety, remote friends help, hardware and ip safety, not sharing though, but its simple, im actually very noob... IDK... sometimes i get good ideas to implement... But I'm focused in something else these last and following weeks...

Good luck everyone...

ONE TIP FOR THE MACROER WITH THE VIDEO WITH THE CHARACTER NAME HUNTING IN ORAMOND:

Delete that account. Never log in it again.

Did you use some macro software to run your scripts? Like AutoIt or something like that?

Video link was broken:

Here: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/11592663/gohunt-mp4/

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/11592663/gohunt-mp4/
This is all afk. It can refill, loot, attack, walk, heal, etc..

bros... stop showing your character names in videos with homemade bots.
my computer got blocked by battleye, I might never enter in tibia again in it, and if i do, i might be under a heavy files investigation

Hello,

I like the idea.


You could stream the image using Open Broadcast software to a device which would run the image analysis. As an input device some kind of usb slave could be used, either software (some kind of driver) or hardware (Raspberry PI, Beaglebone).
This way the bot would be undetectable for BattleEye.

Your "own made cavebot" is nothing but made on jitbit macro.

https://www.jitbit.com/macro-recorder

It does have randomizer and so on but it is easily detectable by BE, unless you starte obfuscating your .exe s

There is a bot already with visual input: http://tibiaeyebot.com/

share more about your homemade bot... my fingers are scratching to use mine on global, but Im holding because it need to be far safer

This idea is good, but even if I send the image somewhere else to do the processing, I will need some software running in the computer that transfer the images and control the keyboard and mouse. Wouldn't battleeye detect that?
