Ashen Empires Anti-Macro Breaker Released

I decided about a week ago that making potions in Ashen Empires is to cumbersome and missed the days of not having any sort of macro protection in game. It is also a bummer that they do not allow a character with a maxed trade skill such as alchemy to produce more than five at once. It did not take long for me to commit myself to breaking this anti-macro system of theirs. The system uses a random set of two or three in game items which have to be matched out of six items. I could have made my detection pixel based but instead chose to find differences in copied bitmaps sent to picture boxes in the program. I will have to attempt a simple x/y coordinate pixel color match some other time.

The program needs a desktop resolution of 1440 by 900 and the game out of maxed state by using alt+enter to work correctly. I also recommend setting the max particle setting in game to zero for better accuracy. There should not be an empty black space while doing the trade skill because it would trigger a non-stop false 100% anti-macro screen match. I would also make sure that the craft window does not show up right where the anti-macro screen does by setting it to the side before turning it on and close all macro bars. I tested it with two different computers(slow PC/old CRT monitor, fast PC/wide flat LCD) and it worked fine.

When it finds a match of the anti-macro screen it sends the keyboard F10 function key and when finished with clicking correct pictures it sends the F9 key. These are what you should use in your macro program for stopping/pausing(F10) and playing/continuing(F9). I included a very good macro program I found from PlanetSourceCode.com but changed a few things in it to work much better and work with the anti-macro breaker program. It only records mouse movements and clicks but does so very well unlike some others because I can pause the macro at any point and continue easily where it left off.

So all you old AE macroers or new have fun macroing once again!

I added a video of it automatically clicking the correct pictures quickly along with the download link below.

Ashen Empires Resource Gatherer

Ashen Empires Resource Gatherer helps by eliminating the constant clicking of the mouse along with the shortcut 'u' key. It will now stop automatically when there is nothing more to gather and continue when using the right mouse button to move to another location. When the right mouse button is down it stops until released. It is an old program that I updated for Ashen Empires that I'm sure will make gathering ore, seeds, fish, log, etc., easier and less strenuous.

Current working Pointer Address: 4F694C

I used a pointer address from the game that I use to find the DMA address which I useto read 20 characters of text from the chat. Sometimes the pointer address will change so I made sure I added a way to add a new pointer address manually into the program and set it. If the program seems to not be working than most likely there is a new pointer address that needs to be set which I'll always have posted at the top of this post in bold. The link located at the bottom of the program will take you to this exact post.

I was also going to release a macro type of program that would help with doing the actual trade skill but that would be too difficult now because of the new anti-macro system they implemented awhile back. I'm also going to be playing AE again here soon and will help those who are starting out in AE.

I still have a SA Trainer v4, GB Manual AIMBOT, universal Flash trainer making kit and among other things still to finish. I recently updated the GB AIMBOT so it is much easier now to get the correct wind angle which is done now by simply clicking on the tip of the wind arrow in game. The Flash trainer making kit will be an on going project that I'll probably be making a separate website dedicated to it.

I'll be making a post tomorrow regarding an event I'll be having here at Opium Test which should be fun.

Check out Tom Green's Online live show tonight which should be good because the hilarious Harland Williams is going to be there. It starts at 6:00PM PST / 9:00PM EST.

Ashen Empires - Color Text Tutorial

I am posting this for all the Ashen Empire players who are curious to how the text color changing/name is done using Cheat Engine. I'm going to make this very brief because I am posting a video in Flash format as well to show how it is done(right-click the Flash SWF file below and click Play to watch).

EDIT: It does save when you log out of the game normally..

1.) You need Cheat Engine which you should have by now..if not DL it and install/setup CE.
2.) Open CE and set the Value Type: to "Text" and make sure the "Case sensitive" checkbox is checked.
3.) Log into AE.
4.) Go back to CE and select "Client.exe" as the process.
5.) Go back to AE and choose a Hotkey to use for our color change and add something to it such as "%t ..." without the quotes of course..
6.) Go back into CE and below the "Text:" in the textbox you will search exactly what you entered into the hotbar Line1 text in AE..so I would search for "%t ..." and hit the "First Scan" button to start the search.
7.) Once it is done seraching it will put all the found addresses/text into the list to the left of CE.
8.) There should be about 5 results in the list and the one we need should be at the very bottom so double-click it to add it to the list below where we'll be doing all the editing of the text located in the hotkey bar instead of within AE.
9.) Once you have located the correct address/text and added it to the list below we can now dbl-click below where it says "Value" or where you see the text for the hotkey which should bring up a small window title "Value" where we'll enter "@1: %t ..." without quotes and hit the OK button..DO NOT EDIT THE HOTKEY BAR within AE or it will mess up what were trying to do and will not work/will have to maybe just paste it back the "@1: %t ..." back into the value for the text.
10.) So now finally go back into the game and press the function key(F1-F12) you assigned the color text to and the text should now be a blue text in chat.
11.) If it didn't work then might need to re-log and start the process over or take a look at the video.

Ashen Empires - Multiplayer RPG

I just recently got back into this game called Ashen Empires which is a free multiplayer RPG(free to some extent/option of purchases). I first heard about and played this game around 2002 and I'll tell you they have made vast improvements and added tons more content to the game. I like the nostalgic 2-D isometric type of games which AE is for those wondering. So go check out the screen shots at the main website and sign up for a free account today and maybe I'll help some of you who are starting out in game!
