What about this error?


Exception in thread Thread-26:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "threading.pyc", line 552, in __bootstrap_inner

Error: Incorrect padding

I keep getting it when I press "Start" to start auto buying.

EDIT: Fixed itself.

EDIT: It's starting to happen again, how to fix?

hi, rsing at the attic when i got this error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):

HTMLParseError: malformed start tag, at line 1, column 78011

this seems very similar to other errors that people have posted but i know so little about this program (i just started using it) and programming in general that i figured i'd better ask. i've actually had trouble with this program all day, it didn't buy anything at all in any of the main shops. finally i got it to buy something at the attic but after receiving that error message, it now seems like it isn't buying things again. i'm not sure this is the case though, and i will update this post if all goes well, but just wanted to know what that error message means and what i should do. thanks!

Read a few posts back.

Read a few posts back.

The errores a few posts back is a different error from what I am getting.

I was replying to nestlepak's post, I have no idea what causes the one you posted so I can't give a solution, unfortunately. You'd probably have to ask SL or Pyro about that one.

I am having problems with this autobuyer lately. It worked great for about a week, and recently it doesn't even try for items anymore. I tried restoring default settings (thinking that my speeding it up may have messed it up), but still no results.

I'd used it for two different accounts (one for AAA and one for shops/igloo).

I've disabled igloo and AAA, but it just wont grab items. It shows how many items in whatever shop it is currently at but... it doesn't log any misses/grabs, even when left on for hours.

Is this just terrible luck or did i screw up somehow?


Btw side note - on the general settings tab, the default button restores values that are below the usable ones for a free account, so I have to manually set them back to old settings.

My current settings:

GWD 8-10s
pre-haggle delay 1-2s
OCR 1-1.4s
attic delay 2-3.4s
bancheck 15min
haggle algo: fixed % 5.2

MS settings:
neocodex lists, buy "unbuyable", 150% profit required


Please help me out!

Hmm... Your settings seem just fine (though I'd suggest using the smart algorithm). If it's refreshing, you'll see at the bottom "waiting X seconds", it's working (refreshing and waiting for a restock) so I'd say it seems to be just bad luck.

I'd suggest to try lowering the percentage to see if it'll buy anything with a lower percentage. And if that doesn't do anything, I'd then suggest unchecking the 150% profit required box and setting the "profit must be over X neopoints" to around 2k. If Abrosia logs misses/buys with either of those, it means that nothing that was 150% profit restocked in any shop Abrosia was in.

I know this has been talked and posted about before, but after searching the thread for it, I wasn't able to find the answer I wanted..

Safe/acceptable to AB with Abrosia while I have a window of Habitarium up? Can I still collect gems, move p3s around, etc? Or is it only okay to let it sit.

Thanks ahead of time

[Waser Lave]

Nope, not if they're the same account.

I've had that happen alot. Make sure your internet connection isn't turning off/going out at any point when Abrosia is running (that's what usually causes mine). If your internet is fine, if your using a proxy change it (I've had proxies do that as well.)

I really love this program but a few times there have been frustrating signs of it not working properly at the Attic.

I will watch it prepare to buy an Attic Item, and then take over 7 seconds to get past that stage. It sometimes misses everything because it takes too long, and the timestamps show that it spends multiple seconds trying to buy each item (sometimes over 10 seconds) while my internet is fast and speedy on everything else.

This isn't very common but sometimes it leaves me with nothing after a whole night. My buy times are usually between 300 and 2000ms.

[xHimitsu]

Not all the items that were bought by Abrosia were listed in my logs. I may only see that I get about 2 items, but there are a few more that ended up in my shop that did not appear in my logs. I also have the problem of being logged out of my account for no reason while I am playing Neopets, even though I have logged out of Abrosia and closed it and the Program Manager.

On a side note, how do you report mispriced items in the database? I was quite sure that I saw the thread somewhere, but I can't find it anymore.

[Grails]

Today I checked the program after a nap.

It had been stuck on "Visiting Abandoned Attic" for over an hour. Something with this program isn't right.

[Sweeney]

It's usually the user.

It shouldn't say that for more than the 7 seconds or so that you've set it to check attic. Restart the program.

[Strategist]

I would say it may have been due to the fact NEo went down for a bit earlier in the day.

[Waser Lave]

I wonder if they've changed something on whatever Abrosia uses to determine the RS bans.

[Sweeney]

It just checks for stock in shop 21, no?
It's unlikely that will have changed, imho.

Hello, I didn't know where to post this but I discovered something that might relate either to Abrosia or the Item Database. I have checked off that Abrosia should buy unpriced items first:

Bought Golden Koi Bracelet: 4777 NP

But as you can see in the item database, it has been priced at 6,500 NP. I've had this happen twice but I thought it was just a fluke.

I hope I posted it in the right place.

The database prices are an average of the lowest prices, not the very lowest price an item sells for (that's why they're estimated prices).

I think I'm a bit confused xD. I thought checking the unpriced box meant that the NC item database doesn't have a price for it?
