Seed Searching Script (v3) (Probably final)
« on: August 01, 2009, 11:44:40 pm »
EDIT: Btw, before you get too excited, this script doesn't do anything special, it just incriments the map at the stroke of a key. And hey, this might already be in place by a supa secret command that I don't know of, but I was bored, and this seemed productive :P.

---

Version 3 is out! ;D.

Probably final version :P. This has the best readme, and saves the locations of the buttons, so you don't need to set them every time.

---

Version 2 is out! ;D.

The readme has been updated for clarity, and now has "Auto Cycle", which automatically cycles through the seeds at a rate set by yourself.

---

So I was entirely bored, and decided that I didn't want to keep clicking the tiny, tiny button that incriments the seed anymore, in my  neverending quest for the elusive "perfect" map. Thus, I decided to delve back into AutoIT, and here are the results!

File includes ReadMe with the commands, .exe to run it, and the source (for all you non-trusting people :P.)

Yes, this was out of boredem, and yes, it was a waste of my time, and yes, I need to get a life, and yes, I'm lazy ;D.

Any more questions? Cool :P.

EDIT: I've had a few problems in the past with running AutoIT scripts on computer that don't have AutoIT installed... if anybody bothers to download this, can you tell me if you find anything quirky? kthxbai

Wow, that is a nice script

At first i wasn't sure what its for, but its true that it speeds up finding decent seeds immensely once you set it up right...

Hey, at least i am not the only one bored and doing random stuff ;p

Cool stuff!  And good guess about the resolution affecting the position of the buttons, that definitely does (as does widescreen).

Really? What wasn't clear? How can I change the readme to be more effective?

Nope, not at all :P.

You have say "This script reduces all mouse clicks required on seed creation screen to pressing 1 key" ;P (Once setup)

But what can i say, i am confused (and not english) so i confuse all and everything! ;P

Ah... Interesting. What's your native language?

And upon reviewing it... I could probably be a little more clear as to it's purpose, and how to set it up. In my defense though, I wrote it at 1 am :P.

Very nice. I was actually planning on learning a bit of German this summer, but that ambition got abandoned for more experimental coding, and guitar :P.
