Making your own client?

[Robot91292]

I have made a bot to list items on eBay for me but it will only work on my computer because it uses my screen dimensions. Is there a way I could put eBay into a client sort thing to make it the same size no matter what computer it is on? Kind of like how runescape is the same size for the rs bots to work on any computer?

Thanks in advance!

Nice job utilizing Simba for something other than Runescape. To answer your question yes and no. If your using a text detection, DTM or Any sort of detection method actually then its possible if you do it right without using any 'Client'. If your using T-Points, I would say no because every screen resolution is different. (most)

You might ask Nielsie for the source then you could remake it as a Simba Plugin.

This way you could control the dimensions etc on multiple machines. There is also the added bonus of being able to minimise the window.


For something like this though, I'd suggest using Python. You can just retrieve the page and parse it to get the information you want.

have you considered using this instead? http://pages.ebay.co.uk/selling_manager_pro/ I know it costs a small amount but if your selling items in the quantity that you need a bot to automate it for you I doubt the cost will be a factor.

How about using regular expressions and searching for the stuff from source? You can then list them with a form or something if you like. Would be much more efficient. The page doesn't have to be visible etc.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I really want to do it with simba just as a personal goal of doing something out of the ordinary with software designed with runescape in mind. I did use all DTM no coordinates but found that If I zoom out it is unable to find anything. Which means I need to find a way to set the DTMs to be able to be detected no mater how small or big. Is there a way I can do that?

Thanks again!
