GhostTrappers autohunt bot fixed (again)

Hello everybody again!

I finally managed to get some free time in this long Halloween weekend to look at the Ghost Trappers auto hunt bookmarklet bot. The old bookmarklet code was broken by the change the GhostTrappers guys made that involved using an iframe to speed up the application (and I think for them is a very good idea).
I have already managed to fix the iMacro Autohunt by using the application directly from their website, effectively bypassing the iframe. Fixing the javascript bookmarklet has been a little trickier as now I have to redirect the initial page to the Ghost Trappers website or else it won't have enough permissions to reach the hunt link in the game.

Here is the new bookmarklet code:

Ghost Trappers Autohunt Bookmarklet


Instructions to use it are the same: bookmark the link, click on the bookmark to get redirected to the app site, click on the bookmark again to have the bookmarklet start, choose your cooldown time and click start; a new tab will open and do the auto hunt for you. You have to keep both the tabs open. I know that this is a bit annoying but there aren't other ways to make it work. Best way of using it is opening a new browser window, have both tabs open there and reduce this browser window to icon so that you can use your browser without any troubles.

Have fun!

fixed ghost-trappers autohunt imacro for chrome

I have finally found some time to look at the recent Ghost Trappers issues (see my previous post for details). It seems that the only change is an iFrame that contains the application actual url.
I have alreday posted the fixed iMacro for firefox here. It has been easy because iMacros for firefox is a much more mature product and supports additional instructions and it is able to support multiple iframes.
iMacro for Chrome is pretty new instead and also full of bugs, also in its beta version 3.
I have however found an easy workaround that makes the iMacro work as before.
I just had to change the website to the URL pointed to by the iframe and everything started working again.

Here is the new iMacro autohunt bot for Chrome:

URL GOTO=http://www.ghost-trappers.com/fb/

TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:http://*hunt.php*

WAIT SECONDS=900

To use it, follow the instruction from my previous post

Have fun catching your ghosts and let me know if this doesn't work for your!

Fixed iMacro autohunt bot for Ghost Trappers

UPDATE: Some people reported that this iMacro is now broken. The one made for Chrome will work without problems with Firefox too. You can find it here: Fixed iChrome for Firefox and Chrome


Hello.

As many people have told me in the past couple of days, the Ghost Trappers guy changed their game in a way that broke the autohunt bots, both the iMacro and the bookmarklet version.
As there are people urging me to release a fixed version (thanks! It's good to know that people actually use the tools you make!), I am releasing an early fixed version, with very limited testing, so that you will have something to use with Ghost Trappers. More will come as I manage to put more time on it.
The fastest fix I was able to do is for iMacros for Firefox. I used iMacro version 7.0.0 that seems to work quite well with the iframe the Ghost Trappers guys introduced in the game. You can find the iMacro extension here.

To use the fixed iMacro autohunt,activate the iMacros extension and record a new dummy macro by clicking the Record button and then clicking anywhere on the page.
Then stop the recording. This iMacro won't work. You need to change the code to have it working. Go to the macro list and click Edit Macro. Keep the first line (that should start with the VERSION command) and delete all the other lines. then insert these lines after the VERSION one:

URL GOTO=http://apps.facebook.com/ghost-trappers/

FRAME F=1

TAG POS=1 TYPE=IMG ATTR=SRC:http://www.ghost-trappers.com/fb/res/lets_hunt_on.jpg

WAIT SECONDS=900

This macro will autohunt every 900 seconds (that is 15 minutes). If you have a different cooldown time, just insert the appropriate number of seconds in place of 900.

I don't know if this macro will work on Google Chrome too, but I fear not, because the Chrome extension is a much lower version than the Firefox one. However I'll do more tests soon and hopefully I will be able to release a more compatible bookmarklet version too.

Have fun, and please report if it works for you or not, thanks!

New GhostTrappers autohunt bookmarklet version with variable timeout

Hi all. Having just recently got a new trap in Ghost Trappers that lowers my setup timeout from the standard 15 minutes of the game, I had to modify my autohunt bookmarklet bot to adapt to this new change.
I could easily change the code to timeout to 12 minutes (my actual setup) instead of 15 and that would have fit my needs but I decide instead to do a more general hack so that it could be useful to anyone instead of just me.
This new code will let you choose the timeout in minutes at the top of the page. What you need to do is just change the value if you need it and click on the start button to have it working. If you change the timeout value after it is already started, the next autohunt timeout will reflect the new value.

With this new code I have also hopefully fixed a very annoying memory leak that could cause the ghost trappers window to eat as much as 500 MB of memory. This should not happen anymore, but it will take a while to confirm this.

Also, I have notice that with recent versions of the Chrome browser, the ghost trappers autohunt window is not updated when timeout ends and it just seems like it stopped working. Actually this is not true as the autohunter is still working correctly as you can see by clicking on the camp link or by cheking the hunted ghost list. I don't know what is the cause of this bug at the moment.

Ok now here is the new Ghost Trappers Autohunt bookmarklet bot code. As usual, just bookmark this link and click on it to have it start:

Have fun!

GhostTrappers monsters autoassist bookmarklet

Recently the developers of Ghost Trappers have added monsters to the game probably to get more social. Nice idea, but still in the early phases and not so appealing as little reward is given to any ghost monster helper. Also, the game feed is missing, thus you have no idea of who has a monster and needs help.
To work around this last problem, people have been creating facebook groups like this one where everyone post the link to his/her monster.
Now that is a good idea and works pretty well. But being pretty boring to click on each monster link and then on the assist button and being me very good at automating things, I wrote a new bookmarklet to help in this situation.
This GhostTrappers Monster Autoassist bookmarklet (as I named it :) ) works by gathering all the monster links it can see in the current page and open the assist link in a new window or tab. It will use just one additional window and change to the next monster every ten seconds. Also it is currently limited to the first 20 monster links it finds in the page.
Important: to use it you need to allow popups. Check your browser on how to do it.

Here is the GhostTrappers Monster Autoassist bookmarklet! Bookmark it an have fun!!

New AutoHunt bookmarklet script for Ghost Trappers

Hi everybody.

After developing the Autohunt iMacro described in my previous post and using it for a while I got tired of it because in Chrome (my main browser) the iMacros extensions has some annoying bugs.
Today I had a bit of spare time and decided to try an idea I have been having in my mind for a few days. It is basically an evolution of the Castle Age Elite Guard Autojoin I wrote some time ago and discussed here. It is a bookmarklet script that does the same thing the iMacro Auto Hunt does. But in a different way and has a big pro and some cons as well. The big pro is that it doesn't require a special extension anymore. Just bookmark it and click and use it and you're done. The cons is that due to how javascript programming works, it requires two browser windows instead of just one and the first window must not be closed or it will stop working. To prevent this, the script prints a warning a the head of the page so that you will know which one it is.
In the end, I feel it works better. Let me know if it works for you, what you think and of any possible improvement you can think of!

Here it is. Bookmark this link in your browser:

Ghost Trappers Autohunt

Then just click on the bookmark you just made to activate it.
Note: if with right click you see no "bookmark this link" option (as with Chrome), just try drag and dropping the link to the bookmarks bar.

Have fun!!

ghost trappers auto hunt cheat using imacro

IMPORTANT: Seems like this iMacro is not working anymore, see below for details

Hey everybody.

It seems that around there is no cheat for the Ghost Trappers game on Facebook.
At least, I could not find one. So here it is a cheat that enables auto hunting for the game.
Beware that this will not allow you to avoid the captcha that the game shows every now and then and when it does you'll need to restart the cheat. So check the game at least every hour.

Now to the cheat. You have to use either Chrome or Firefox browsers and install the iMacros extension.
If you use Google Chrome download it here: iMacros for Chrome
If you use Firefox download it here: iMacros for Firefox

Now go to the Ghost Trappers game, activate the iMacros extension and record a new dummy macro by clicking the Record button and then clicking anywhere on the page.
Then stop the recording. This iMacro won't work. You need to change the code to have it working. Go to the macro list and click Edit Macro. Keep the first line (that should start with the VERSION command) and delete all the other lines. then insert these lines after the VERSION one:

URL GOTO=http://apps.facebook.com/ghost-trappers/

TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:http://*hunt.php*

WAIT SECONDS=900

Here is what the final result will look like for the Chrome browser (Firefox has different version number):

VERSION BUILD=1110311 RECORDER=CR 

URL GOTO=http://apps.facebook.com/ghost-trappers/

TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:http://*hunt.php*

WAIT SECONDS=900

That is for a 15 minutes cooldown time. Those who are lucky to have a lower timer can change the SECONDS amount to what they need.
Now go to the game page, wait for the "Let's go Hunt" button to appear, click play loop for how many times you want and enjoy this autohunter!

WARNING! Please note that cheating and auto hunting is against game policy and that the game publishers could take action against you if you use it. I decline every responsibility if you use it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Seems like the Ghost Trappers guys changed the game in October 2010, so this iMacro doesn't work anymore. Look here for an updated version!
