oFollow Discussion

[Sam DeathWalker]

I think we should allow discussion of any software actually but surely its ok to discuss this new software. I am with Miria on this one.

If its click to move I need to think it over more.

We clearly have insufficient information to make any kind of intelligent conclusions at this point.

Oh come on already! We Been doing stuff blizzard has not wanted in a long time here's a few.

,,,,,,,,,,, timing got removed. We find a way round it.

ctm-itw had been a topic for a long time. Not what it was made for! (and i check every ptr patch waiting for it to get removed)

Spamming loads off keys at the Same time you get banned for saying this on the other site (or topics removed) dark topic still yet we all still use it. the "one key press at a time". is it ok to use?


All the top stuff had nerver been oked by blizzard and has been use at own risk not saying we should use ofollow if its automated but bending the rules is what we good at. and if all this does is finds a system blizzard forgot about then its all good.

And the guy got banned was more the ten boxing they are saying is super unfair. some changes to the pvp queing system will make this a impossible.
But taking them a lot longer to fix. They stopped Oque to stop players joining over five and Yet ten boxers still do it!!!! (sorry off topic). so beating the five man queuing system is what that guy got banned for. From the talk i has to CS the other day (they can not talk about a 3rd party account but all they said he was not banned for what your saying that is just bending the rules using mounts/soul trader/noncombat pets/druids Car't say you will not get banned for not doing it but nice find is all i got told.)

He said that they are looking at ways to add follow back in the game but like you been told its to stop the bots and they did not want to remove it in the 1st place its was the only opt they had as a fast fix. (as any group that ques up is unfair in randoms)

I thought for sure when reading through this that this was an April Fools post. Still hope it is.

I wish people stop mentioning sending more than one key at the same time as something blizzard frowns upon. It's just the same as using 5 fingers on the keyboard at the same time...

i looked into ofollow

short summary of the functionality:

- get x,y values via GetPlayerMapPosition
- set dot frames and the color for it via blablaframe:SetTexture(r,g,b)

function of.dots.set( ndx, r, g, b )
...
blabla
...

of.ui.dotframe.dots[ndx].texture:SetTexture( r/255.0, g/255.0, b/255.0, 1.0 ) ;
...
blabalala
...
end

- then (as many others assumed) the binary reads out the colors of the dot and trying to reach to the position of the main via movement keys


i wont upload the whole addon and binary for a public download.

Overlays in game makes the addon illegal, not to mention the fact that if it interacts with a game based on the overlays that is automation regardless of if it uses movement keys or click to move. Blizzard banned people who were using the raid mechanic overlay one back in ICC (i forget the name) and IIRC disabled the API to do so.

[Feehza]

of course, ofollow is against TOS

[MiRai]

And there's your answer.

This is exactly why threads like this should exist not be deleted or censored, so that we can figure out whether or not something is allowed.

Kinda reminds me of this.

I don't understand how would anyone do this kind of application and hope they would get away with it while multiboxing bgs?

I mean I was getting harassed by gms like crazy in 5.1 while doing battlegrounds.

No doubt this program would result in bans in a record time.

[Shodokan]

Also for the addon to do overlays... you have to unlock the API to allow it which is also against TOS. (much like some people remove locked API for scripting their rotation etc like you could back in WOTLK)
