Botting on official client [without taking over I/O units]
https://i.imgur.com/29pX26G.png
Here's a short simple tutorial for how to run any kind of script, be that for OSRS, NXT, or any other game you can automate, without the script taking control over keyboard or mouse, and it's quite simple, and not particularly resource hungry. And in fact it's half-way shipped with windows already.
This will also allow you to run multiple accounts / bots at once, while you use your PC, and as mentioned there is very little overhead in going this route, nothing compared to running a virtual machine.
To start, you must install the following tool: https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases
It allows us to run a host, and a client at the same time so that we can connect to our own PC.
Now that's done, what you wanna do is to create a new user (might need it to be administrator for access to content owned by your main user). See the second post in this tutorial for a step by step.
Using RDP:
That's it, you should now have a window pop up that remotely is logged into your new user account, which you can bot on.
Notes:
- Just use the same Simba install for every bot (usually `C:/Simba/Simba.exe`), there's no issue there. So you only have to setup Simba once.
- There may be some limitations related to what version of Windows you use, I have no looked into it.
- RDPWrap (the tool linked above) might need to be reinstalled after major windows updates.
- Minimizing the window will block I/O, here's an alt fix shared by olly:
Code:
1. Run the regedit.exe tool.
2. Find the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client.
3. Create a DWORD value with the name RemoteDesktop_SuppressWhenMinimized and set its value to 2.
4. Find the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client.
5. Create a DWORD value with the name RemoteDesktop_SuppressWhenMinimized and set its value to 2.
6. Close the regedit.exe tool.
