spikespaz Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 The rule against game automation is misguided and unhelpful for the following reasons. I am a developer, using AutoIt to automate testing for a game that I am developing. Singleplayer games can be mundane and sometimes cheating can be overlooked. Multiplayer games usually have anticheat against repetitive robotic actions anyways. People want to override the control schemes of games with bad customization. Eg. Axiom Verge, Fortnite (Crouching). Game automation is not always bad. If the user feels the need to automate a singleplayer game for boring or mundane tasks, that is their choice. Similarly, if I wish to use scripts to automate testing, that is my choice. Game automation can be a problem for online multiplayer games, giving players a competitive advantage. This could be countered by common sense; ask OP what game they are automating, and is it an online game? What is this script for, and what does it seem to do? Please revise the rule as it seems very unnecessary and harmful to people seeking help with innocent attempts at game automation. 123456 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted July 21, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2018 spikespaz, There are many posts (often by me) on the forum which explain why the rule exists as it does, so I am not going to explain it yet again. Suffice to say that the site owner, and author of AutoIt, wrote those rules personally - so if you want to post in his forum you need to obey them. If that does not meet with your personal feelings of what should be allowed - tough. We cannot, and indeed have no wish, to determine what use people make of AutoIt - but we do, and most certainly will, police what is discussed in this forum. And so to prevent yet another Oozlum bird meeting a premature end, this thread is locked.
