Farmville autoclick for Linux script

And yes, I finally got caught by Farm Ville game from Zynga. It is a very addictive game, no wonder there are millions of player.

Now as a good fan of automation scripts and a Linux operating system user, I have searched around for an existing program to cheat with Farmville to automatically click all the fields and plant or harvest all that huge number of fields without buying fuel from the game.
There are many bots and programs around that can automate these actions, but nothing for Linux.

So I decided to write my own and after a day of hacking around, I now have a working prototype of the bot. It is very work in progress but it is actually useful. You might want to try it and send some feedback or correction or improvement, that would be really appreciated.

I plan to release updates to this tool soon as I already have ideas on how to improve the program but not enough free time to do it right now.

Now to the technical part. This program is a Python script and to use it you have to install the python-xlib and python-gtk modules. If you are using a Debian/Ubuntu distribution, this command will do it for you:

sudo apt-get install python-xlib python-gtk2

You can download the script from this link:

FarmVille-autoclicker.py 

To use it, login to Facebook and point your browser to the Farmville game page. Be sure there are no open dialogs in the game window (like offers, gift from friends, etc..) and select the tool you want to automate (plow or plant, for example). Keep this browser window open and open a new terminal window, change to the directory where you downloaded the bot and execute this command:

sleep 5; python FarmVille-autoclicker.py

Immediately after you run the command, switch to the Farmville browser window and wait. After the five second timeout, the mouse cursor will turn into a cross and will allow you to select a rectangle from the Farmville game window. Click on the Farmville game, keep the button pressed, drag the cursor to define the area you want clicked and release the mouse button when you're done. The autoclicker will click all the selected area for you.

This script is still in its early stages, so you might have to try more than one time to have it working.

Be sure to subscribe to this blog if you want to automatically receive updates when new versions are released. To do so, use the Follow link at the top right part of the blog page.

Feedback, bug fixes, suggestions, whatever are really appreciated.

Mandatory warning: autoclicking is against Farm Ville terms of service and using this cheat might have you banned from the game (although I think it should be pretty difficult to discover). Use at your risk.

This tool might also work with other operating systems such as Windows and Mac Os X as I used standard python modules, but I don't have them at hand and could not test it.

Have fun!!

Fish Wrangler auto fish

Things have changed lately for Fish Wrangler game. Now you have variable fishing interval, depending on what you fish and the bonus you get. Making a bot that is able to read the page and adjust the autofishing timeout accordingly is pretty difficult.

Luckily, there is a very simple but effective trick, that allows you to leave your pc alone for longer periods of time while still fishing for you. You will have to get back to it every now and then to check for the treasure chest (the game captha protection), though. But this is acceptable, and let you enjoy the game while not wasting to much of your time. Especially if you play while working, this could definitely help a lot.

This simple trick is to install an extension that allows your browser to automatically reload the current page at given time interval, such those described in this previous post on CastleAge and Goblin Emporium :

• Chrome Refresh for Chrome (a new refresh icon will appear on the right of the address bar)
• ReloadEvery for Firefox. Restart Firefox after installation (this extension adds a menu that actives when you right-click somewhere on the page)

Obviously, if your browser already has an autoreload capability, you can use that one.

Then click on this FishWrangler Game link to go to FishWrangler facebook game. This should have activated the fish action for you and should show the countdown to the next trip. If it didn't, just do whatever the page ask you to (the treasure box question, for example) and then try clicking again on the link.

Now, just set up the auto reload for that page with an interval of one minute and you will cover all the possible time intervals of the game. If the page is reloaded and the time interval has not ended yet, nothing bad will happen. If the time interval is finished, reloading will have you fish again.

Very simple and very effective!!

As usual, I have to warn you that auto fishing, bots and strategies like this one might be considered as cheating from the game developers that could ban you if they catch you using them. You have been warned.

Have fun!

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 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!

fixed autojoin bot for castle age after facebook broke it

In the last couple of days Facebook (or the Castle Age developers, I don't know) has put some changes online that broke my last EliteGuard autojoin bookmarklet bot. The problem is that iframes are not allowed anymore.
So I just fixed this problem by making a new Elite Guard auto join bookmarklet that uses the old code that opens new windows/tabs but chooses guard members from your own army. That guarantees that you will have your elite guard filled every time you use it. Also this technique isn't traceable from Facebook or Castle Age developers so you can use it without worries.

Usage is the same: bookmark the link, click on it, if you are redirected click on it again and it should start working. If it doesn't, check your browser permission to open popups (for chrome you have to give permission to [*.]apps.facebook.com). The recommended browser for this one is Firefox.

Let me know if this works for you. If you report problems it is more likely that I fix them, if I can.

Here is the fixed EliteGuard AutoJoin Bookmarklet Bot:

autojoin castleage eliteguard bot

Hello.
As in the past days the news feed from Castle Age wasn't working, I have come with a bookmarklet bot that does autojoin Elite Guard using the people in your army instead of those published in the news feed.
I also have used all the new techniques of the other recent bookmarklet I made.
This autojoin bot features:

• works with every browser
• no need to install extensions or other programs
• the requirement of the additional tab/window has gone by using iframes
• simple to use, just bookmark it
• undetectable as it uses your browser to do actions like it was you
• it will fill your elite guard

So here it is. Instructions are the same: bookmark it then click on it, wait for redirect and click on it again. Very simple.

Let me know if this works for you!

levynlight autohunt bot script

With the last changes made to the game, the Levyn Light authors made it possible to use some autohunt javascript code the way I did with the other games.
So I wrote a new javascript bookmarklet autoplay bot for the game including all the improvements made so far. These includes requirements for only one webpage (you will no longer have more than one tab), programmable timeout for the auto hunt and status to know when the last autoplay event has been launched.
I really find this script useful. Please let me know if you think this too (feedback is always appreciated) and if it works or has problems or if there are features you may want.
The script will redirect to a particulare web address, different from the LevynLight homepage. This is intended and actually required by the code. If it redirected to the actual game homepage, the browser would not have launched the auto hunt.

So here it is the Levyn Light Auto Play bot script:
Levynlight autohunt bookmarklet

Instructions are the same: Bookmark the link, click on it to redirect to the starting url. Click on it again to activate it.

Updated MouseHunt bookmarklet bot

Hello.

I have received some feedback from a user of my MouseHunt autohunt bookmarklet bot here telling me that the autohunt bot did not work.
After a while I was able to check and after the investigation I saw that MouseHunt programmers changed the hunt url and that broke my autohunt cheat. It could easily have been intentional and it probably broke many other cheat and the greasemonkey scripts too.
I was able to fix it quickly, it took just a while to test it before making this blog post.

So here it is the fixed MouseHunt autohunt bookmarklet bot:
MouseHunt autohunt bookmarklet cheat

To use it, use the same procedure described in my previous posts.
In short:
bookmark it
click on the bookmark once to be redirect to the game page
click on the bookmark another time to start the auto hunt.

I have been experiencing strange things when using the Chrome browser. In particular, the second webpage to the game (the one where the hunt are launched) is not refreshed by the browser when the script changes the url. So it seems that the cheat is not working. But just click on another window to the same game to see that it is actually running correctly.

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:

levynlight autoplay bot

Hello
LevynLight is a game from HitGrab Labs, the same software house of MythMonger. It is pretty fun to play and seems to promise more fun as the game will go on. It is pretty new and still in open beta.
As it has the same play every 15 minutes requirements, I went and started writing a bookmarklet for it.
Unfortunately, LevynLight developers have created it in a way that my bookmarklets don't work. If someone has advice on how to do it, please tell me, I would really like to write one.
To get rid of this problem, I wrote an iMacro that autoplays the game.

I have also found that there is a way to embed iMacros in a link for the FireFox browser only.
So if you are using FireFox bookmark this link and click on the new bookmark whenever you want to run the bot:
LevynLight autoplay

If instead you are running Chrome, or want to insert the iMacro in your library, this is the code of the iMacro:

TAB T=1

URL GOTO=http://apps.facebook.com/levynlight/index.php

TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:app377144924760_playbutton

WAIT SECONDS=905

When you have your iMacro in your iMacro library, set it to loop as many times as you want and click on Play Loop!

MythMonger autoplay bookmarklet

While looking around searching things about Facebook passive games like MouseHunt and Ghost Trappers, I came across another game of the same kind, MythMonger.
MythMonger is very similar in gameplay to the other games as you have to hunt or play every 10 minutes. Every time you encounter a card that is added to your collection if you win the duel. Then you can use these new cards to become stronger. The duels are influenced by the five elements rules (water kills fire, metal moves earth, water rusts metal, etc) so you have to choose what card is going to duel based on the kind of card you want to obtain.
It's nice but really slow.
That's way I already ported the autoplay (autohunt) bookmarklet bot to it! It has been easy as it works exactly like the other games.

So here is the MythMonger Autoplay bookmarklet bot. As usual with my bookmarklets, bookmark this link in the browser (by right clicking and choosing add bookmark, add favorite, bookmark this, whatever or by drag and dropping it on the bookmark bar), then click on the bookmark once to go to the game homepage, click on it another time to start the autoplayer. It will open a new window or tab where the autoplay will happen.

MythMonger Autoplay

autohunt bookmarklet cheat for mousehunt

Hello everybody.
Mousehunt is another hunt (horn) based passive game on Facebook. To activate the trap to catch mouses you have to come back to the game every 15 minutes and sound the horn. Someone has create a bot to do the hunting for you that uses the greasemonkey javascript engine for Firefox or Chrome.
Instead of using the Mouse Hunt bot to play the game I changed my last autohunt bookmarklet code to autoplay Mousehunt. And it works really well.
This bookmarklet works in the same way the one for Ghost Trappers does. It redirects you to the Mouse Hunt Facebook game homepage if you are not there already (in this case remember to activate it again). Then it opens a new window/tab to the Mousehunt game where it does the auto hunt.

To use the bookmarklet, just bookmark it:
MouseHunt Autohorn
And click it twice. The first will take to the game page; the second will start the autohunt.

Please let me now if it works for you and if you think of any improvement!!

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!!

autohunt cheat for mousehunt on facebook

Hey all.
The MouseHunt game on facebook is really similar to the Ghost Trappers game and they both requires you to hunt every 15 minutes. It has been really simple to change the GhostTrappers auto hunt iMacro cheat (described here) to adapt it to MouseHunt and get an auto horn cheat.

Follow the instruction described in my previous post to install iMacros for your browser (Firefox or Chrome). These are the lines of the iMacro that have to be put after the first:

URL GOTO=http://apps.facebook.com/mousehunt/

TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*soundthehorn.php*

WAIT SECONDS=900

Pretty easy, wasn't it? I'll try to get other versions of these autohunt cheats that don't require the extension to be installed. Come back often for updates!

Have fun with your new MouseHunt autohorn cheat!

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!
