More EverHarvest Progress

Faldo helped me out today in-game with the player detection / node-stealing avoidance code, and I gotta say it works beautifully. I added a few more human-mimicking routines as well, all to help mask the fact that it's a bot we're running. All these tweaks will be optional, and set through a Tweaks dialog, which has yet to be written - Michael's going to start work on the bot's UI tomorrow, after I give him the details.

Faldo also showed me a quick demo of the hunter bot he's working on. If all goes well, we'll be offering it through Macrocrafter.com, and then everyone will get a chance to sample it. I'm really happy with how this partnership is shaping up - Faldo's an excellent hacker, and a great guy besides. A true pleasure to work with.

Ah well - I gotta run. It's past my bed time!

New Developments...

... quite literally. =)

We've recently had a new developer join our team - his name is Faldo, and he'll be helping us with a couple new EQ2 projects that we're just beginning to work on - namely, a Harvest bot and a Hunter bot. This may come as a pleasant surprise to some of you, who have been requesting such programs for, well, a long time... =) None of the work that follows will have been possible without Faldo, so please join me in welcoming him!

If all goes to plan, we should have a beta test for the Harvest bot available in a few weeks, with the Hunter bot beta following a few weeks after that. We'll be sending out an email regarding these two beta tests, so keep an eye on your inboxes!
