I know this problem. But only on my laptop DELL LATITUDE i have the edith box error.

In my company i copied rom and micromacro on three differnt modells of DELL laptops, and always the same error message.
I checked also a Samsung and a LG laptop. On this it works OK. And on every PC i have no troubles.

New in the rev 577 of rom-functions was a check for an opened edit box. And i dont know why this isn´t loved by the Dell´s.

I deleted this check-function and the result was an uncontrolled opening of the main menu.

On my old DELL-Egg-Farm-laptop i took the old "functions.lua r574" and it works.
( code.google.com/p/rom-bot/source/browse/trunk/rom/functions.lua?r=574 )

The r574 isn´t a real solution for you, but i think you are able to make the bot running.

i personally think its related to a addon.

not sure though xd

i have it too, i just commented out the code in functions...

Was also in my mind. But with a formated harddisk, new Windows, new downloaded runes of magic (without addons ) and micromacro ??

At home i have 3 PCs and two laptops (Samsung and Dell ). In my office i have two own PCs and 50 technicians with laptops from Dell or other. For me this failure exists only in combination with Dell software/hardware.

[botje]

problem is, i dont have dell, and still have the error >.<

I'm on the PH server and I get this problem when I use the newer BOT & REV versions eventhough I''ve modified the keyboard settings.

Atm my bot doesn't run very smoothly and I've given up on which BOT and REV version to use

To get rid of this error all you should need to do is remove these lines in the RoMScript function in functions.lua.

Code: Select all

	-- Check that an edit box in game doesn't have focus
	if memoryReadUInt(getProc(), addresses.editBoxHasFocus_address) == 0 then
		keyboardPress(settings.hotkeys.ESCAPE.key);
	end

	-- Check if edit box still has focus
	if memoryReadUInt(getProc(), addresses.editBoxHasFocus_address) == 0 then
		error("An edit box in game has focus. Please close it before restarting the bot.",0)
	end

An idea occurs to me though, maybe all it needs is a pause between the 2 if statements. Could someone try adding a yrest?

[botje]

ill try, what exactly do ya want me to put there?

Botje

[rock5]

Try "yrest(500)". That should do. If it does work, we can always try to find a lower value later.

[botje]

k, that works, ill try lowering it to 400 and so on

Botje

lol, and right now bot decides to work with or without it xd

let me see if i can get it to fuck up >.<

[rock5]

It may be playing up when you put too much stress on the system. Maybe now while you are testing you are doing only the one thing so no stress? I don't see a problem with having a long pause though. I could put it in the first if statement so it only executes when the edit box actually has focus not every time RoMScipt is called.

I'm still a bit confused though. If no edit box had focus then it shouldn't have had that error in the first place.

[botje]

k, it makes no diffference im afraid

tested, still fails >.<

Botje

You said it was working. What did you do to make it 'fuck up' again?

[botje]

switchedd a few chars, thats all

when i said it was working, was because it just plain worked, with or withuot the yrest >.<

botje

[rock5]

If it only stuffs up with certain characters, maybe there is a problem with the profile you use with them or maybe there are corrupt files in the characters folder in your "Documents" folders (ie. "My Documents/Runes of Magic/ CharacterName").

Is it with only certain characters that it stuffs up?

[botje]

nope, seems random :/

[rock5]

nope, seems random :/

I think the next step is I need to know what exactly is the value of the editbox memory address. Maybe that can give me a clue on how to fix it.

Change the following lines in functions.lua line 524;

Code: Select all

	-- Check if edit box still has focus
	if memoryReadUInt(getProc(), addresses.editBoxHasFocus_address) == 0 then
		error("An edit box in game has focus. Please close it before restarting the bot.",0)
	end

to

Code: Select all

	-- Check if edit box still has focus
	if memoryReadUInt(getProc(), addresses.editBoxHasFocus_address) == 0 then
		print("editBoxHasFocus_address value =",memoryReadUInt(getProc(), addresses.editBoxHasFocus_address) or "nil")
		error("An edit box in game has focus. Please close it before restarting the bot.",0)
	end

Then the next time you get the error, see what the last value was.

By the way, how many in-game addons do you use? Is it possible to get a list?
