Possible Xylobot Source Code Release
I am considering releasing some source code of Xylobot to the
public. This would not be GPL license source code, but some
other restricted license. However, users would be able to look
at the code & modify Xylobot.
Xylobot is written in Delphi 7.1. Due to how the source code
will be released (some source, some object files), it will only
compile under Delphi 7.1.
I'm trying to get some feedback to see if this is even worth
doing. If there aren't any Delphi programmers out there
interested in Xylobot, there isn't much point in releasing the
source.
Let me know what you think about this idea, and if you would be
able to contribute. Also let me know if you currently have the
Delphi compiler, or would consider getting it.

New Release
Xylobot v1.0.0.81 is now ready for download.
The main new feature is automatic healing!
Here's what has changed:
- Added Find Text popup menu (shortcut F3) to Xylobot's text editor
- Xylobot script windows now use TCP/IP instead of UDP (more reliable)
- The functions work exactly as before to the programmer
- The remaining fixes are for the TwoBox script
- Fixed bug for loading Aliases (no need to restart Two-box script now)
- Two-Box script now has Options button and can add options to command file,
e.g.
- Option Test On,Off
- Option Warlock Curse=Exhaustion,Recklessness,Agony
- Option Warrior Attack=Manual,"Mortal Strike"
- Note if an Option value has a space, it must be in quotes
- Can also add "Condition=" to command file, e.g.:
- Desc=Test; Key=X; Button=Test; Condition=Test,On;
- For Condition section, first item is Option name, 2nd is Option value
- They must match for this button or attack line to be triggered
- Added script files HealthBar.xys and HealthBarThread.xys
- Added HealthBar syntax to Command file, e.g.
- HealthBar hp1=125,88,125,1
- Syntax is: HealthBar Name=Left,Top,Width,Height
- Height should ALWAYS be "2"
- Use TwoBox_Main.xys function "SetComplexOptions" to add complex
automatic healing logic to your command file
- Check Webboard for new example command files with auto-healing
- Fixed a resource leak that could cause a crash after using the two-box
script for 2-3 hours
- Aliases are now checked to make sure they don't overlap
- Two-box scripts now communicate using messages for *multiple* keys, which is faster with less delays between key presses
- Watcher's window pos fix & numpad5 fix were added

New Release
Xylobot v1.0.0.80 is now ready for download.
Here's what has changed:
- All items below are fixes and enhancements to the TwoBox script
- Added HotKeys for buttons (e.g. ALT-X)
- e.g., Desc=Test; Key=X; Button=Test; HotKey=ALT-X;
- Can use ALT-, SHIFT-, CTRL- modifiers, and/or combos like ALT-SHIFT-X
- Hotkey can be numeric or alpha key
- Wakeup message sent from bots. No need to restart master when a bot
must be restarted (it gets automatically logged in)
- Added Alias ability to command file, like the UNIX Alias command
- For commands with multiple lines, you can use an alias so you
only have to make a change once.
- Usage: Alias BUT_ATTACK=Button=Attack; HotKey=ALT-A;
- Then just use BUT_ATTACK on each line of the Attack command
- Could also be used like: Alias M_MAGE=Machine=Bot1;
- TwoBox script - Fixed how commands are processed using Priority
- Setting Priority=1 will make button commands override current attacks
- Buttons now have a default priority of 3, higher than the attacks
which have a default priority of 5.
- Set a buttons priority to 1 to override any other buttons (good for using with heals, etc)

New Release
Xylobot v1.0.0.79 is now ready for download.
Here's what has changed:
- All items below are fixes and enhancements to the TwoBox script
- Greatly sped up the processing of command sets. You should not notice any frame drops when running twobox script command sets.
- Fixed bug for buttons not completing all sub-actions when activated
while the command set was running
- Pressing the stop key (`) will now also stop any running buttons
- The number of button actions remaining is shown in the status text
of the TwoBox window
- Added more capabilities to the "Key" parameter
- Can add delays with #X format, e.g. #50 will delay 50 milliseconds.
- e.g., to press 1, delay 100 millisecs, then press 2: Key=1,#100,2
- Added LeftClick(x)(y) command (clicks using mouse left button)
- Added RightClick(x)(y) command
- Added Drag(x1)(y1)(x2)(y2) command
- Added <PDOWN> and <PUP> meta-commands to insert in front of keys
- e.g., to press shift-1, key=<PDOWN><SHIFT>,1,<PUP><SHIFT>
- e.g., to hold w for 50 msec: key=<PDOWN>w,#50,<PUP>w
- Used for holding down <SHIFT>, <ALT>, <CTRL>

New Release
Xylobot v1.0.0.78 is now ready for download.
Here's what has changed:
- Updated TwoBox script
- Buttons can now fire multiple actions (share the same button name)
- Each Desc field MUST BE UNIQUE for multiple action buttons (i.e. a
different name)
- Buttons can now be shown as popup menus (add #Pop to the end of the
Button caption). This is useful for non-combat buttons, and leaves
your combat buttons less cluttered.
- Added default "OnStop#Pop" button press when you stop your command
script. Could be used to add commands for your bot character(s) to
re-follow you (if needed) using this button command. See example command script on the message board for more info.
- Added "IsCast" field (e.g. IsCast=N) to the command file. Can use for
certain actions like follow, assist, attack, pet attack, etc. These
actions don't work off the "1 action per second" timer, so makes them faster if you add this field.
- There is a Known Bug with the Two-Box script. After ~2 hours of play
on the master box, the script will slow down when the command set is
running. The current work-around is to shutdown the game, exit & restart
Xylobot, then restart the game. This bug is being worked on.
- Removed "Trigger File does not exist" debug message.
- Fixed MenuPopup with moving conflict (when ShowBorder = False)

New Release
Xylobot v1.0.0.77 is now ready for download.
Here's what has changed:
- Fixed a display bug for some video drivers (affected WoW after
its latest patch)
Discuss
New Xylobot Feature
With the latest release (Build 73) there is a new built-in
script for Xylobot. The script allows the user to create a "Command Set" that can fire off multiple actions (e.g., a series of attack spells) with a single keystroke. It also lets a user control two PCs from one keyboard; however, this is optional and
the script is useful for those using one PC only.
As usual this is a free upgrade to existing Xylobot
users.
For more information, see the Two-Box
Script Information Thread.
This script works with any compatible game such as World of
Warcraft, EverQuest, Dark Age of Camelot, or City of Heroes.

reopening a file

execute, as well as their cooldown, repeat values, etc.
- The MASTER/BOT mode can send a single command to the BOT machine
- Press ALT-0 throught ALT-9 to send a 0-9 to the BOT
- If the command file has commands setup for the BOT, they are sent
to the BOT when the command key is pressed.

DSL Problems
Sorry but you might notice some serious lag when trying to connect
to this site during business hours. My DSL service (from
AT&T) is messed up. I called them 8 times, and they finally
decided to move me to a new "Red Back", which means my
circuit won't be so clogged up. Currently there is 25-50% packet
loss during busy hours, which makes downloads very long.
Hopefully I can make the move over to the new redback in a few
weeks. When that happens the site may appear to be down for a
few days (while the DNS changes to the new IP address). Before
that happens I'll post a link to a different website that will have
the new IP address, so you can at least get to it by number addressing
until the DNS updates everywhere.

More notes for WarCraft III Enhancements
I added some more notes for WarCraft III enhancements: Auto-Cast for Items
and Single-key Spell Casting.
More information on Xylobot and WarCraft
III
Please visit the Xylobot WarCraft III page for more information on
planned features and game play enhancements for WarCraft III using
Xylobot.
Xylobot Compatible with WarCraft III
As you may have heard, WarCraft
III was released by Blizzard on July 3rd. After doing some
testing, it was determined that Xylobot is compatible
with it!
If you have any ideas about how to use Xylobot with WarCraft, please
post them here. Hopefully we can enhance game
play. Some initial ideas are to automate the early build order,
give reminders for doing certain upgrades at a certain time,
etc. But really the possibilities are endless, so post your
ideas and suggestions.
In order to improve the number of scripts that can work with
Xylobot, I plan on adding additional masked-image searching functions
to the script library. That should help for getting more game state
from the screen. If you have ideas for other script functions that
could help, please post
your ideas.
