Most likely a delayed ban sir. The stealth injection should be doing its job.

No, a physical update was not pushed. Just restart the bot... it should load the latest hooks now.

We will begin removing the option soon. Users who cannot run the bot without it will have to fix their JVM setup to allow xbooting the modifications. I'm happy we found this detection technique and worked around it before it led to bans!

Hello community, the updater for OSBot has been fixed! We've fixed all the hooks and and bots should now work again! Again, we're going to add some extra backend stuff to our servers to automatically update our hooks every time RS updates and design a system to restart your bots. WARNING: Do not run OSBot without stealth injection! If you cannot run the bot with it enabled then you're in for an instant ban! Although I've said a few times before that it's ok to run the bot without it if you can't enable it, I'm taking back those words! I've finally collected some evidence from the bot suggesting that Jagex is starting to use this method again to detect injection based bots specifically! Here's some of the injections they try to detect but thanks to OSBot's trusty stealth injector, naughty Jagex can't...

Sincerely, Laz and the OSBot Team.

It's a safeguard against detection but if you disable it you shouldn't worry much. It prevents the client from accessing code that was injected but Jagex rarely, if not ever, does this anymore. Most bans are detected by long runtimes, several failed random events (most if not all are currently working and up to date), profiling of your activity on RuneScape. For example, if your account rarely does something else other than run your most profitable script all day, you're botting at a very high-risk and should be careful.

Hello community, this release features some patches for the pinball random event, interaction events, banking, and more. Many small and minor bugs have been fixed which have been mentioned in the tracker. You can click the download button at the top of the page or the front page! Our next update will fix the break handler, and allow for customization of bot profiles per RS account! Stay tuned! Sincerely, Laz and the OSBot Team

That's because you might have OSBot 2 scripts in your script folder. Clear you OSBot folder and try again.

Hello community, as promised we're releasing OSBot 1.9.1 to support our older OSBot 1 scripts & customers. We apologize for having taken very long to release an update for OSBot 1. This new build will connect to our new faster SDN servers and contains backported random solver fixes. Although we're releasing OSBot 1.9.1, please note that you should BOT AT YOUR OWN RISK. This version of OSBot has not been tested and therefore it is advised that you babysit it and report any bugs on the forums. We will begin releasing more maintenance releases for OSBot 1.9.X but please note that scripts may or have already become outdated due to changing object ids, names, etc. Download: http://osbot.org/legacy/OSBot-packed-1.9.1.jar Thanks, Sincerely, Laz and the OSBot Team. *NOTE: The client is titled as 1.8.1 but this is simply a bug in the build, the real version is 1.9.1.

We don't' handle ents. That's the scripter's job. If the script isn't good don't use it.

It seems like you have not even ran the bot lately because that's not true. I've been botting on OSBot a lot.

What version of the bot are you running?

What version of the bot are you running?

I'll look into it, thanks man.

A patch for this will come out tomorrow. I've been aware of the issue but have been working full-time on this update.

Hello community, As Zach posted earlier, the development team has been working FULL-TIME for the past couple of days on the new server backend that handles OSBot. This new server will fix the "Already online" issues which many of you have experienced and will also make the fail-rate on loading script lists and starting scripts nearly zero! We've updated the minor version of OSBot to 2.2.X. We're starting out on version 2.2.2 instead of 2.2.1 because 2.2.1 was leaked for a few seconds on the download page and further patches were implemented. Also some bugs have been fixed with the API... Arrows/Rings equipment slots have been fixed. Turns out they were swapped in the last build. ItemContainer.onlyContains has been patched Surprise Exam has been patched More.... Happy botting on our new more stable servers! Download: http://osbot.org/get/index.php Thanks, Sincerely, Laz, Zach, and the rest of the OSBot Team. P.S. Guess what FREE users? We're now letting you open TWO tabs at the same time. P.S.S. We're going to start adding new ways to sell scripts including pay-per-usage and pay-per-tab to make scripts MORE AFFORDABLE! Stay tuned for more updates coming out! P.S.S.S. An OSBot 1 patch with backported random event solver fixes will come out tomorrow. Sorry for the delayed ETAs but we have more time to work on it now. You can use OSBot 2 for now and request a free trial for scripts you've bought on OSBot 1.

We're coming out with better ways to buy scripts soon. Some of these ideas include bundling scripts together as a package and adding a pay-per-hour system so that you'll never not use more than what you paid for. We've been working non stop on OSBot, it's not ruined. Also an OSBot 1 update is coming tonight as well as a new server. Don't despair just because there hasn't been an update in a few days... it usually means I'm working hard to finish the next release...

Hello community, the last 2.1.18 release had some bugs with items being ordered in the equipment API. We've fixed the API to reorder the items correctly. Furthermore thanks to some bug-reports we've managed to fix some Item Container API patches which fixes null pointer exceptions with banking and other item container APIs. Last night on 2.1.18 I was able to get a 4 hour proggy with no randoms failed. I logged off after 4 hours to not risk being flagged as a bot. In my opinion botting is fairly feasible now but it's a very powerful tool. If your running the same scripts over and over again for hours at a time, you're being very blunt about it. We recommend switching scripts/money making methods a couple times a day and using proxies when botting multiple accounts! Lastly, Here's the download link: http://osbot.org/get/index.php P.S. We're currently working on fixing the server backend and designing a new CDN for our auto-updater. Because this will result in further patches needed for OSBot 1, the OSBot 1 client will not be updated until the new server backend is complete. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning everything will be back online fully! Thanks for your cooperation! Sincerely, Laz and the OSBot Team. Edit from @Alek: Added Entity method isVisible()

We're going to backport the fixes in OSBot 2 to OSBot 1 tonight. We're working on many things right now and unfortunately OSBot 1 isn't the biggest priority right now especially as all the OSBot 2 SDN scripts are currently free right now. We want to fix the server first because it affects both OSBot 1 & 2 users.

Got a pretty decent proggy last night. Stopped it because it's a high-level account that I only bot while baby-sitting.

This release features random event fixes...

Hello community, the promised OSBot 2.1.18 client build has been released and can be downloaded here: http://osbot.org/get/index.php We've implemented a new hook to grab equipment item information without opening the actual tab. As a result of the new hook older versions of OSBot 1 & 2 will no longer work. We will release a patch for OSBot 1 soon. Additionally, some bug-fixes were added to the script & random executors improving up-time of scripts. Some random solvers have been patched as well! Also some API additions have been added to various classes! You can check the documentation here: http://osbot.org/api Sincerely, Thanks, the OSBot Team. Edit: Forgot to mention that sub-child interface debugging has been added! Here's how it looks: http://i.imgur.com/cORYJT0.png Edit: Also world hopping and random executors has been patched by @Ericthecmh! Edit: @NotoriousPP has brought us some banking improvements. Edit: Hey guys this is @Alek. This is a complete list of API additions I created. If you have any problems with these new methods, please private message me: Added AreaFilter Added EntityAPI closest(area, name) Added EntityAPI closest(area, id) Added Entity method getArea(int radius) Added NPC method getPosition() Added Player method getPosition() Added Mouse method move(int x, int y) Added Mouse method getColor() Added Mouse method isOnScreen() Added Combat method isPoisoned() Added Combat method isPoisonImmune() Added Combat method isDiseased() Added Combat method isMultiway() Added Combat method isWilderness() Added Combat method getWildernessLevel() Added Prayer method isQuickPrayerActive() Added Settings method isAcceptAidActive() Added Settings method isDataOrbsActive() Added Settings method getMouseButtons() Added Dialogues method inDialogue() Added Dialogues method isPendingOption() Added Dialogues method selectOption(choices, choice)

I believe it has been patched already for 2.1.18 by Ericthecmh. I forgot to mention this patch as well!

Hello community, lately you may have experienced an error blocking you from the server because it thinks you are already logged in! Because of this we will begin working full-time on patching the backend OSBot server so that this no longer happens! My deepest apologizes for not realizing how big the issue had become. It is a must that we improve our backend to ensure the quality of our software. Now regarding to OSBot 2: We will be releasing OSBot 2.1.18 later tonight or tomorrow morning and it will feature the following changes: Brand new equipment API system for grabbing full equipment information without opening the actual game tab. This will hopefully fix a serious bottleneck in the development of better scripts. Additionally the script & random executors have received several patches which fixes an issue with scripts crashing due to certain exceptions. Many API additions have been added by our API developer team. Some of these additions include:A new AreaFilter for filtering enties based on Areas. In addition certain methods will be added to the EntityAPI which lets you filter certain Entitiy's based on their area and name/id. Some new banking methods will be added to facilitate with banking for novice script writers. Furthermore we are working on more updates for the future including:Web walking A built-in Trading API to facilitate with the development of scripts which require a simple implementation of the in-game trading system. More API additions being added by our API team. Further optimizations with GPU usage of the bot. Further stability & security improvements. Thanks, Sincerely, Laz and the OSBot Team.

Take a look at this method. http://osbot.org/api/org/osbot/rs07/api/Mouse.html#setDefaultPaintEnabled(boolean) It's documented in the API and you can see the rest of the documentation here: http://osbot.org/api/

It may simply be a mistake on our part. Maybe we're not deallocating the resources given to the GIF image and thus it's being rendered in the background. I have not been aware of the issue but I'll look into it. Also: http://osbot.org/forum/topic/52428-osbot-2111/ 2.1.11 was the revision under which the new startup loader was released. It seems the loader is the culprit.
