POINTS on long goal servers.

[constructor]

Greetings,

I am so annoyed, raging and fuming. And reason is the same why I stop playing sometimes. I can play 2-3 hours sometimes per day. Leaving my laptop on. When I am back, my company won, but I am disconnected - no points (usual). I stop playing again for another 3 month break I think.

Suggestion: If company reaches 100million pounds per year - points are delivered automatically on hard servers (5 and . As long as there is only 1 company on one of the long servers.

Cheers,
CONSTRUCTOR.

I wrote simple script.
Download n-ice.org/openttd latest client.
Then make 3 images of screen (full or windowed mode)
1. Your server button.
2. Any image of ingame (i used save button)
3. login button.

Script will every 10 seconds try to find error and relogin.

Server:
Loop,
{
ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, 0, 0, A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, C:\Users\vlad\Desktop\autoc\serv8.png
if (ErrorLevel = 2)
   {
    ToolTip, Could not conduct the search of server8.,100,100
   Sleep, 1000
   }
else if (ErrorLevel = 1)
   {
    ToolTip, server8 could not be found on the screen.,100,100
   Sleep, 10000
   }
else
   {
    ToolTip, server8 was found at %FoundX%x%FoundY%.,100,100
   x:=FoundX+50
   y:=FoundY+5
   Click, %x%, %y%

I know what you mean. Happend to me two or three times in a row recently.... so I have switched to short goals for a while, or at least until I can ensure I will be active at endgame.

What platform does that script run on? Is it VB or powershell, or something else?

Cheers,
Doc

Hello Doc,

Script is written in autohotkey which is based on C. Type autohotkey in google, download, install. Then copy text to .txt file and save it as anynamehere.ahk. To run the script press Ctrl+S. To stop press Ctrl+P. Don't forget to make pictures and run it on the main window. It will auto-connect to server 8 and auto-login. If you want, I can show in detail with pictures.

PS: I just had enough haha

Cheers,
Constructor

;copy code below to .txt file and save it to autologin.ahk.
;To start the script press CTRL+S, to pause CTRL+P
