[Request] Need Help creating a failsafe script

Post by Bodomy » Wed Aug 24, 2011 8:20 pm

For a game, http:///www.pokemonvortex.org. I use the Imacro as an Auto-trainer(Which is allowed in the game, and is actually the preferred way of training Pokemon. I have read the F&Q's, and searched the forum, I found only one post having to do with my problem, and it did not have an answer. I need help creating something that can battle a specific trainer, (e.g. Training, TrainingGrassWater, TrainingPsychic, E.t.c), Without failing and stopping because of some lag in either the server or my own internet connection, I've tried adding "Wait seconds = x amount", and all It did was reduce the amount of training I get done to nearly nothing. Help would be greatly appreciated, I am new to all of this kind of stuff, and I'd really appreciate some pointers on how to do something. The basic code usually looks something like.. I have the most updated version of Both Firefox and iOpus Macro.

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=7300701 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
URL GOTO = {What ever url]
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Continue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Attack!
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Continue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Continue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Attack!
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Continue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Continue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Attack!
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Continue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Continue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Attack!
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:battleForm ATTR=VALUE:Continue
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Rebattle<SP>Opponent
But when I try making it work, it does no more then 20-30 loops if I'm lucky, usually only last 5, then has some sort of error. Any improvements would be greatly appreciated :).

Thanks in advance!

Try adding SET !TIMEOUT 6000 or something high like that. that way no matter how slow your connection, it will wait 600 seconds (about 10 minutes). and get rid of the URL GOTO because there is no point going to the URL if the rebattle link redirects you there.

but if you ask me (i play this game), i think you should download GreaseMonkey and install this script http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/111042. this also waits in between battles for the 10 sec wait.

if you need more help, message me on Pokemon Vortex (my username is umar322126384).
