Hey guys, I need some advice about how to automate a simple action over at gamevance. I really don't know too much about what I'm doing, but this should be pretty easy. So here is what I want to do:

Say I have an address like this:

http://www.gamevance.com/member_add_...o_user=1156520

And I want a program that will enter that address over and over again, but change the id number. For instance, the next address the program would enter is:

http://www.gamevance.com/member_add_...o_user=1156520

and then:

http://www.gamevance.com/member_add_...o_user=1156519
http://www.gamevance.com/member_add_...o_user=1156518
http://www.gamevance.com/member_add_...o_user=1156517

And hopefully, theoretically, I could just leave the bot running until it got all the way down to an id number of 1, i. e.:

http://www.gamevance.com/member_add_....php?to_user=1

Do you guys know what I mean? This should be really easy, right?

I really don’t know the first thing about actual programming but if there is a really easy way to do this and someone points me in the right direction I'm sure I could figure this out. Any suggestions? Please help.

Edit: Oh yeah, I need it to work in firefox. Maybe theres a add on that can do something like this?

I could make something that would do this easily in AHK.

I'll try and make something user friendly :\

[robad2]

Wow if you could do that for me Itami I'd be really grateful. I have a weird feeling that it would take me the better part of a month to do this. In fact, I will give you one of my club live accounts with 3000 tickets if you do to show my gratitude (not much I know, but you could get a couple pairs of headphones or a game or something).

So AHK is probably the way to go? Should I download it?

[itami]

For something like this, AHK is just fine.

I'm doing a silent one but it's IE only.

[robad2]

Great, I can work with IE. I'm going to go download AHK right now.

[TJ]

Add friends I'm assuming?

Unzip the files and run whichever one you want. Compiled it, just in case.

Login to gamevance through IE and then run the bot.

It'll visit that URL and subtract 1 after each visit. It's browserless and will probably get you banned :p But hey, it does just what you asked XD

Oh Itami, I just did some investigating and it looks like the newest member of gamevance is 1162141, so it would be good if I could start the process with an ID number a little higher than that, if its not too late.

Or maybe you could make it so that you could enter the starting number manually?


You got it in one TJ, it will add massive amounts of friends.

Edit: Oh, sorry, I just saw you already posted. Thanks! let me see if I can figure this out and I'll let you know how its going in a minute.

[MiLk]

does adding friends get u something?...and does this site always take 3 years to load?

[itami]

You can choose what number you want to start with.

[robad2]

The prizes switch at midnight Milk, so the site goes down for about 20 minutes

[robad2]

Sadly Itami, I doesn't appear to be working. At gamevance you can look at your invite history and see a record of all the pending invites you’ve sent out. I just let it run for about 5 minutes and then checked the invite history and no new invites on record. I think each page has to load completely. Maybe it's 'cause it's silent? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

[itami]

Yeah, it's probably because of the method I used.

Guess I'll have to do it the boring way :p

[robad2]

LOL, it looks kinda cool though, way user friendly, if it'd worked. But you really don't need to make it silent. If I could watch the page loads it would be easier for me to see where I left off for when I want to start it again.

Try this one. Open Notepad and save this as a .ahk file.

[robad2]

Still doesn't work . It just makes the homepage constantly scroll down.

[itami]

Oops, did something wrong

Don't know if it'll work though.

Ah man, it's still not working. If you getting sick of trying, I understand. Or you could just keep trying, LOL. Persistence is a virtue.

[itami]

I could probably figure it out if I actually experimented with it more but I'm just lazy right now.

Hopefully this will help you learn
