Longer response from anti-cheating specialist Mod Tyran:

Obviously it's pretty funny. I doubt he was using the OSbot client or anything else that should've triggered it. And yet somehow the BotWatch system still picked him up. He was manually unbanned about 5 mins later. For anyone commenting, please note that this is just one ban and thus we can't infer anything about BotWatch's behaviour from this one instance.

I use the below snippet from Khaleesi if (getInventory().isItemSelected()) { status = "Deselect item"; getInventory().deselectItem(); }

No-one really knows. But Juggles has good data that they don't monitor IP's. What I do notice is that they can detect a datacentre IP and it will be banned quicker than a residential IP. I also find that if I run several bots on one IP, they will be bannedin 24 hours. Others notably haven't had this issue. As such, I run my f2p throwaway bots on the cheap datacentre IPs and the p2p accounts I'd like to keep for a while on residential IPs. But I do expect that everything will eventually be banned. If you're caught botting on any IP, all accounts on it will likely be banned (not certain but is likely).

Maybe look at @Naked's accounts. Comes with an email address. Or make your own..mail.com doesn't require a phone number....

Awesome, thanks! Any idea of when you might have time to do it? p.s. I also noticed a rare glitch today. The bot got stuck on the part where it finishes cooking the shrimp and then tries to open the gate. It had selected the cooked shrimp and was trying to use it on the gate, thus stuck. Could easily get around by confirming inventory items are not selected before clicking on the gate. I have a similar code for this in one of my scripts I can send you if you'd like an example.

48 hours is pretty good for a f2p bot - so well done. My f2p bots are banned in less than 24 hours (I have them do functions for me which work fine for 24 hours of life). By comparison, my p2p bots, which use stealth mode, can last for weeks. Mirror mode might help a bit but it has problems with some scripts - so execution may be an issue. You should still expect to be banned within a few days of botting in f2p. I personally think the main advantage of VIP is being able to open up as may bots as you like. Plus being purple looks smexi. p.s. You might like to look into how to use proxies in order to manage the ban risk.

it's ok, I wanted to be caught

Check wc xp more I doubt it was due to Jagex learning your script...more likely they were generally looking to reduce AHK. What happened to you likely happened to others as well.

In my experience they can get flagged. I.e. once I start getting locks on one IP I'll discard it and use another, otherwise I just keep getting daily locks. Yes, you can unlock...but it's a pain/you lose productivity in the bot farm.

send nuds (assuming over 18)

@Malcolm, are these something you'd be able to put in?

Happy to chat more over pm if you like. I'm personally interested in finding it out too since one day maybe it happens to me.

Sounds like you've discovered the perfect antiban. Maybe ask Mod Weath what he thinks.

Yes I did read your post and I meant what I wrote. Malcolm has also confirmed the same above.

Lower than normal, but still possible. It's said many times on this forum but if you bot, you have a high risk of getting banned.

Best advice is to learn to script your own private scripts.

Just bought and ran a test account. Going well so far. (Didn't ask for a trial since I know your scripting quality is good). I agree with @nonreferral on his recommendations..it would be great not to have the 'bot character' look but also to be able to customise the account name a little. Maybe make the name equal to email? e.g. malisgreat@mail.com produces an account with the name 'malisgreat'? It would also be a nice feature to have the sound setting turned off asap. Can't tell you how many times I've been listening to something else and wondered 'why is the runescape theme playing in the background of this documentary!?..oh wait...' Could also look at making it set up being fixed screen as soon as possible. Makes for an easy transition to other scripts after.

Must be that check wc antiban

Yep, I never had any experience in making OSbot scripts before. I'm pretty good at math though and just learned by reading through the code. Pretty much the structure of any script is: -libraries -onstart variables -declaring methods (defining functions, e.g. chopdowntree() -onloop (where your script is actually doing things). You won't go from beginner to expert in a day, but start simple...e.g build a woodcutter which drops logs...then have it bank....then build a fighter which fights cows..then maybe a stronger monster... You just keep trying new things and eventually you'll get enough practice to make anything you like

For me, I just grabbed a script and started reading it slowly....then played around with it until I could do my own... I found all the lessons just confusing. You can google things you don't understand as you go. This forum is great for basic questions since most of them have already been answered. And see if you can get a tutor too. They'll add to your understanding by showing you the right way to run things.

I know you don't want to hear this but there's just no safe way to bot. If you're botting, it's just a matter of time until you're caught. And you're account will likely be permed banned when you next get caught. You can do things like using mirror mode, using a well written private script and a residential IP to delay the ban, being careful with your hours etc to delay the ban, but you'll still get caught eventually. As such, if you like that account, don't bot on it.

If you want to learn...find a free script which shows it's code and just start reading. Then try changing some variables in the script/making it do other things. Once you get this down, try making a simple WC bot or a fighting. Just break it all down into small pieces and then learn from each. I've only been doing this for a month and I can write some very basic scripts which work. And if you can - get a tutor. I had help from one of the well known scripters on here who taught me some good coding techniques.

What are you doing to manage your IP's? Jagex's detection is an automatic process so there must be some variable which is triggering it to look at you more closely.

Yes I had a glory equipped. But if I don't (or have one that's uncharged), it will begin to run through the desert on it's way back to edgeville. When is the next update?
