I have a quick query regarding the AB. I installed it, along with the additional required files, fired it up, put in codex info, NP info, adjusted a few settings (just shop stuff and the scheduler as I'm not an advance user), and pressed 'start'.
Now it seems to be working just fine as no errors come up and my log reads: "2010-12-13 17:02:19 - Abrosia MSAB Started."
It also tells me I'm in the Toy Shop, says (0/300). Yay, I'm mildly competent..
The problem as I see it, is that it doesn't buy anything. I have run it for about 8-10 hours total with the default settings (obviously not all at once, in 1-2 hour intervals) and had absolutely no luck. Normally, had I obtained the AB from a torrent or random source, I'd assume the fault lay with it, but the excess of positive feedback on these forums has convinced me that the problem is obviously something I'm doing.
In terms of the set up, i created a new side account to AB on with a new email address and only access it on firefox through a proxy server (I use an unproxied chrome browser when on my main account). I've checked the proxy and it is working, and is only moderately slower than my usual connection (probably a 1-2s page load).
I'm by no means a computer expert, as I used the tips on these forums to set up the proxy, but I'd like to resolve the issue and get to buying
The account I'm autobuying on is new, and will have the rarity maximum of 79 for a few more days, it also isn't tremendously funded, having only about 20k so far. Despite this, I figured it should have bought something by now as I have set profit margins between 1000 and 3000np, reducing it each time I start the program in hopes of success. I did also try manually loading a shop list to see if that would work (The herbal scrambled eggs, magic cookies, and medicinal soap at the pharmacy all have rarities below 79 and cost a couple thousand - aka I could see and afford them). The autobuyer started successfully, told me I was in the pharmacy, but did nothing for the 2 hours it was there. Seeing as those items restock in quantities of 20+ it's obviously odd that it grabbed nothing. In fact, the one time I logged on my main on the other browser and did legit restocking in the same store, grabbing a couple magic cookies, and some eggs during the same time frame (perhaps I need to try a new, faster proxy?).
Long story short, if anyone has any tips on things I can check or needs additional info to give assistance, let me know and I'll try to provide it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks alot,
John
