Trazerbot news 5/17/2013

Hello Trazerbot users,

There has been an explosion of users since we change  to a verification server architecture, which is good unfortunately with this explosion comes lots and lots of daily support, from helping setting up required software, issues that are specific to some servers, teaching users how to use trazerbot, answering general emails, and translation coordination. There are existing issues that needs to be fixed and I am aware to some of them.

- Windows 8 support (still need the machine/OS to do the debugging)
- Gold farm list issue with .fr server (please report if its also present in other server)
- New feature implementation

If I miss some of the emails please send them back after 72hrs so I can get back to you. For now we already have the following translations ready (Finnish fi-FI, Chinese zh-CN), so we wont be accepting new translator for the said languages.

TRAZERBOT - Separate language files available

We have been working on a feasibility study on changing trazerbot's core architecture. which will enable us to scale up faster... this include looking at trazerbot using a local SQL engine. Altough it's big work... we believe that we will able to optimize trazerbot and reduced its software foot print. But this comes with a price which mean the previous formats will no longer be supported (we can probably make a converter tool). All of this is still under study so it can change if we think its not worth it.

With this we decided to release separate language packs that our translators have been working on for the pass weeks/months. this includes, German, Turkish, Estonian translations which is available under the download section

Celebration window and farmUI

We have received lots of interest in translating TRAZERBOT to their native language we are very happy for these development as it keeps our lazy ass working. Knowing that people are waiting for updates, it keeps us motivated and focused.

Just a while ago, we have released the auto celebration feature which has been sitting under internal testing for at least a week. This feature is very useful when you want to mass construct villages. By doing celebrations you significantly increases your culture points which is required when expanding villages. below is the add celebration window



Also, there have been significant changes to the farmUI and its overall functionally.
first of all the rendering of the farmUI grid, and other grids.. has been significantly improved. Farm detection functions as also been improved significantly, it can now correctly identify a truly deleted village therefore disabling itself. for villages that were incorrectly identified as deleted you can reset it to an "OK" status by simply double clicking on the icons.

New Screen for Auto farming

We have improved user interface for Auto farming specifically in terms of usability.

New Function for Auto Builder

We have improve our auto build UI it now includes the building picture also you can now change the priority for each building. We have also made Auto Building Bias available on a per village basis instead of being an account wide configuration.

We have also made some fixes in the Log Reader where it does not properly walk the pages.

please see screenshot below for the new screen

New Function for Farm List

TRAZER BOT have new function for farming in travian, we have added a village farm options that will enable you to control your farming behavior.

Options:
  • Enable/Disable farm list on a specific village
  • Enable/Disable farming of natar villages
  • Farm Max range (if it is set to 0 then there is no max distance)
  • Max Maintain troops in village (maintain certain amount of troops in village for hammer gathering)

Improvements on Log Reader

We have improved the log reader for TRAZER BOT, now it will only read attacks/raids reports. leaving the other logs untouched for you to review, until a specific reader is created for it.

Enjoy :)

Optimized TravianBotEngine

We have further optimized the TravianBotEngine, this is the heart of TRAZER BOT which manages its event queues and running request... It should have lesser locking on the UI, and should handle threading a lot better. With this we are excited to announce that the log synchronization (Log Reader) is running asynchronously with any other task, since it is not a village specific process it should not have any conflict.

New Function for Resource Upgrade

We have added an "All to" function in which you can just type the maximum levels you want your resource tile to be and it will automatically create the necessary build information.

also we have added the village type (upper right corner) and the resource production information (lower part). with this using TRAZER BOT is even less tedious!

enjoy :)

Additional Option for Log Reader

We have added additional feature for the log reader, now you can either turn it on or turn it off.. previously it was always on, there's no way of disabling the log synchronization which might be too intrusive for other players who are just using the bot for auto building, trading, training only.

TRAZER BOT New Features - Message Bypass

We are excited to announce that we have included a new feature the "Message Bypass" what this feature do is bypass any newsletter from travian, which hinders your botting capabilities. we have incorporated this feature together with the anti ban logic.

Now TRAZER BOT is unstoppable, 24/7 of contentious botting.

TRAZER BOT New Features - Anti Ban

We are excited to release our Anti-Ban feature, which means you will never be banned in travian ever again. you don't need to configure anything... its just working under the covers making sure your botting is safe...

Travian usually does a temporary ban due to multiple clicks.. this happens when Travian servers experiences a glitch where it thinks that the user sent a request twice.

We have added this feature; the anti-ban logic to ensure you will bot 24/7 without delay.

This is what this features do:
  • Every Post is evaluated if travian placed you into a temporary ban, if its true then the logic will automatically log you out, delete your cookies and re log-in and continue botting.

we have also improved the Farm Selection logic and introduced a PriorityWeight to compute the score of a certain farm.

TRAZER BOT New Features - Log Reader

We are excited to announce that we have introduced the log reader for TRAZER BOT, the log reader reads all your attack history and aggregate the result for you to easily monitor your farming progress. with this new update we have also introduce new features listed below.

New Features to Auto Farming
  • Added Attack Rating System (Smarter Attacks)
  • Added IsEnabled Option
  • Added Number of Attacks being sent (attack progress)
  • Added Last Attack Result (this will tell you if your last attack have casualties etc..)

Sample Screenshot



Note: If you use TRAZER BOT in a middle of the game it might take some time to fully synchronized with the logs.

Improved Regex

TRAZER BOT's Regular Expression has been improved to support parsing of multiple languages. Right now we have tested it under .com, .ph servers. we will soon be testing it on other servers too. If you have other servers that need to be tested please leave a comment.
