Script writing assistance
Posted: 27 Sep 2015, 23:29
Firstly, let me put it out there that I have no experience writing scripts of any kind. This is actually a something a friend asked me about, and I said that I'd "ask some of my peeps, bruh".
So let me explain. The script my friend is making is for the popular indie voxel game, Minecraft. I'm sure you've all heard of it before. From the time of its beta release, Minecraft lacked the ability to change user names. Mojang decided to add this ability in February of 2015. The rules were/are simple: Each person can change their name once every 30 day. After a person changes their name, he won't be able to do again so until 30 days have passed. The person's original name (the one he had before changing it) doesn't become available to other members until 37 days. This means that there is a 7 day period in which the original owner of the name can reclaim it. For example, I'm Ace, and I change my name to Mu. After 30 days, I can reclaim Ace. If I don't, someone else can get it after 37 days.
Now, there's a website titled namemc.com, where people can see upcoming names that will soon become available. There's also a huge market for "OG names", which are actually not "Original" at all. These names include whole words, preferably. The rarer a name, the more OG it is. Say the name "Pi" is upcoming. It will become available to take on 8:31:06 02/04/2016. If a hundred people try to get the name at once, only one luck dude will get it.
So along comes this great service, mcsniper.com
You pay $5, give them your account login/password (yes, they're trustworthy), tell them which upcoming name you want, and they'll "snipe" it as soon as it become available. Here's the problem: say 5 different people want the name "Alpha". Whichever person gets the "snipe" for that name first basically gets it. My friend wants to make his own script that can compete with, and maybe even outclass, McSniper.
Here's the basic rundown of how McSniper works. They try chnaging the name 100 time per second, from 5 different proxies. His script has the "100 time pers second" part down. He just doesn't know how to try so many different proxies. I'll type his messages below for more details:
" I'm working on my script that I had made to try to rival mcsniper. It works well, but it's only half there. I need to implement proxies somehow. How my script works is that it spam clicks 3 different coordinates to try to bruteforce a name change (after trying once, it gets hung up, so mcsniper can get it milliseconds after me). How I want to change it is have it alternate tabs after attempting a name change. Each tab would have a different proxy. I need a chrome extension that can do that."
"MCSniper tries 100 times / second. My script does that. The only difference is that they can quickly use different proxies so they do not reach the 5 attempt / IP limit"
That's really it. If anyone is willing to write a script that can (easily) out perform McSniper, I'd be willing to pay for it.
Otherwise, general assistance for my friend would be appreciated.
