Dear community,

I introduce to you: HookCroon, a utility in place that will automatically update the hooks on the server once OSRS updates.

Every minute the host list of online worlds is downloaded and then one of those servers is polled for the current revision. If it recognizes an update of OSRS it computes the new hooks. The server reloads its hooks every minute, so in total the entire process of updating the hooks will take around 3 minutes maximum.

In order to load the new hooks you will have to close down your OSBot application and restart it.
 
This is how HookCron looks like when running:

Awesome! No more downtimes on thursday morning?

nice

Awesome! No more downtimes on thursday morning?

Generally speaking, yes.

There is always a chance of course that an update contains such dramatic client changes that a new OSBot client will have to be made and released but this is not the case usually.

wtf, maxi here?

what is the safety situation on this? can you use it to introduce nasty password stealing code?

Hi Maxi

Looks good.

 

I be you wank to only anime 

cool

welcome back from your holiday i guess

I see you are back. Will you be staying?

 

Thanks for the feature, @Maxi.

Glad to see this type of update. Hopefully we can get automatic updated hooks most of the time now. ^_^

what is the safety situation on this? can you use it to introduce nasty password stealing code?

Na, not by uploading a list of hooks. And why are you worried about security from the client? If OSBot wanted to steal your password there are many easier ways than this.

Looks good, can't wait to see it in action
