You run a high risk of being frozen on one or both accounts if you play neo and run abrosia unless one account is under a proxy or different IP adress.

If your unsure of how to use them have a quick look at the guide in my siggy

Thanks Georgina! I'm gonna take a look

Thanks Waser

here's something i've always wondered... if i press the "stop" button on abrosia but i'm still logged in, can i go into neopets on my browser? will it look suspicious or cause me to log out? what is the program doing internally when i leave it idling...

When you press the start button, a separate, independent thread is launched, that does pricing. That thread only pauses when the program is not waiting, and does not stop until the program is ended.

So, when you press stop, its still pricing things in the background.

meaning it's not safe to log into my account again until i close the program entirely?

I personally would wait a couple of minutes after logging off and closing the program.
Its better to be on the safe side than the frozen side.

First time user of Abrosia. It's been working great (except for being stuck in Tropical Foods for ages, blegh) and weirdly buying 6 Chocolate Chip Kyrii Cookies. The database says they're only worth 929NP, but these were bought for 1242 NP. I'm guessing the database is right, because since it managed to buy so many in a row they can't really be in demand. Any idea what's up with that?

Sometimes the price in the database can be skewed by the way which the Shop Wizard returns results in groups. For example with the Chocolate Chip Kyrii Cookie while most prices are returned around 800-1000np there are some groups of prices which are returned which are vastly different to those other prices and so that skews our data. Our outlier detection methods manage to catch most of them but some prices can slip through the net when you're dealing with 100,000+ prices per day. The database prices fix themselves automatically within a couple of days anyway so it's not a big issue.

Oh, okay! That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for explaining.

[stellanox]

but do you not want to buy them out of preference or because they are actually negative profit?

I prefer not to buy them because unwearables are really really HTS. I've got a number of unwearables and not one sold despite far lower price than other shops Maybe I should cut more and make a loss instead of breaking even but AB still keep buying them whenever I'm at the clothing shop so it doesn't really help

I'm having a problem.

When I start the program now, it is stuck at initializing. The log is as follows:


Exception in thread Thread-6:

File "Abrosia.py", line 946, in run

im having the same issue

[bends1]

im having the same issue

glad to see it's not just me

[lexis]

same problem here

[bends1]

It seems as though I can bypass it by loading a manual list. It may be something in the loading of alternate lists.

[Waser Lave]

If you can just try using manual lists for now until the issue is looked at. Advanced Members can use the restock list generator in the Item Database to create manual lists.

[Lychee]

Whilst I can actually get in, unlike other users, it hasn't attempted to buy anything for about an hour and a half. Is this normal, or is it a sign that it's not properly connected? It's been RS'ing in the chocolate shop and the post office and is set to buy anything with greater than 2,500NP profit - which I didn't think would be unreasonable for these shops.

Sorry if these dry spells are quite common and this isn't worth posting about!

I find they are pretty common actually. If you are really concerned, try loading your own list. I can confirm that this works to bypass the error I was getting as it bought something just a little bit ago.

It's not worth posting about.

Also

Abrosia works for me but then again I've had it open since this morning.

[Tarlsa]

same here abrosia still working fine

[jcrdude]

Still working for me, but I also had it open since this morning. I hope I can capitalize on the lowered competition

[12markkram34]

I always use manual lists so I have no problems.

[pabs123]

i had the initialization problem this morning. i reset my computer and then mumei was saying "login error" and then in the afternoon it worked just fine... did we figure out what was wrong?

[devil669988]

It happened to me yesterday turned it off for the night and when i woke up it worked again. Anyone know the cause of it?

[Lychee]

Minor issue, but I noticed a couple of people had mentioned it and I'm fairly sure it's not supposed to happen: occasionally, it will switch shops long before 20 minutes is up. For example, I spent about five minutes in the toy shop before it zoomed off to Neopian Fresh Foods. I'm not complaining, just curious and slightly concerned something might be wrong.

[ShadowLink64]

Is that initialization thing now working for everyone?

For those who get the error, can you see this page?:
http://www.lostdeser...ia/shopProb.txt

I'm thinking, if it can't connect to that document for some reason, I'll make it reset to a hard-coded default or something.
