Facebook Farmville automation

[kliketa]

The latest is 8506 and has been since late Thursday. Maybe I should add an FAQ entry about the latest version of the XML and FarmGame, but then, there are times when these can be updated multiple times in a day while the developers work their butts off trying to fix bugs in the latest release. Remember too that the game is almost always updated in some way every Tuesday and Thursday these days. They always schedule releases on those days. That should probably go in the FAQ too but I'm feeling lazy so I'll get to it later.

Now, game uses http://static-facebook.farmville.com/v8506/fv_fuel_price_test_3.xml instead of the old xml file, so our fiddler regex needs to change a little...

Hi

I was successfully able to get a coin fountain by plowing 2 spots and planting 2 strawberries. I haven't been able to get a coin fountain using 1 soybean. Is there any way to PPD 2 spots using TimeHorse's bot?

Thanks!

Andrew

I successfully made a PHP script that would automatically send you a gift, but facebook disabled the accounts . I wonder how they figured out.

I am having issues getting Farmville to recognize my gameSettings.xml. I had it working yesterday, but now it doesn't. It is still running version 8506.

When I go to http://facebook2.farmville.static.zynga.com/current/v8506/gameSettings.xml I can see my modified version, but it isn't reflected in the game. Did something change with the config file or something?

[psikolaz]

edit: farmville enhanced and now i get code 2 error and connot load game i think i am banned

hello i have downloaded your file could you please tell me how to use it i am getting code 2 error for 5 days please reply

sorry but i dont know the way to get rid of code 2 error. i think its related with collision of an item with the plots you created. i could enter the game after trying so many times and then deleted the plots causing collision.

after posting previous message to you about collision i also started to get code 2 error again

now i think its not related with collision. now gateway.php gives me internal server error.

HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error

i dont know what we should do may be its related with creating so many plots.

even i cannot visit my farm from another account either. it doest load the farm.

"It seems that a lot of people who expanded their farms this morning are now unable to access their farms due to a code 2 out of sync error. Apparently the server was not able to handle the larger size (this is only an assumption) and those farmers can not get back onto their farms. It will be interesting to see the outcome if the expansions stay locked – what will happen to their farms (hopefully just a rollback and not a complete loss!)"

Hi freshap and psikolaz,

About this Code 2 error we can't do as of now I think as far as i know.

Last two days i am also getting the same error.

This may be due to collision or something else. My assumption is After expanding to 22x22

who are all did this getting this type error. Gateway php ended internal error.

In facebook Farmville forum some people complained about this.

Let wait for some time.

Also if some can find a way to delete plot by sending request to gateway.php or tamper the data send to

gateway.php when swf try to render the form we can override this one.

swf calling the gateway.php after it got data to render or to check validity of the data i think. If this is

the case then we may need to tamper the data POST to do in such a way php site will not end up with 500 error.

Other wise wait for some time Zynga fix this error for who complained about it.

Obviously i didn't complaint about this error to zynga as almost stacked 1/2 my farm .

gateway.php is something checking for no of plowed land can exit, and when we cross 22x22 farm 1/2 limit code error is coming i think.

Hi,

Today i got confirmed from my friend as my farm is not getting loaded in their "visit friend farm".

They are saying when they click visit link, it just hanged up in loading farm. So some think with

rendering data from database to client browser.

We may need to wait for some time or just forgot the game and look up other activities.

I was not interested in Farmville game, before seeing this thread almost i lost interest in the game, After read about BOT and hacks it make me interested to play with game "not playing the game".

So my Farm. If Zynga give you life again will meet you in future

my problem was not about expanding. i had a lot of plots outside of my farm i made them by using cheat engine and the vehicle area hack there was no problem with that but one day i added more and more plots outside and then it started to give code 2 error. is it possible to send the freshap's modified farmgame to server by using fiddler and enter wirhout getting the code 2 error?

I have had the Code 2 error for 7 days now. A few weeks ago I also had the same issue for an entire week. My other farm won't work either for what seems like a different issue. Facebook is just messed up on that account. It won't even try to load the .swf or .xml file. It just craps out before that.

Hi

I was successfully able to get a coin fountain by plowing 2 spots and planting 2 strawberries. I haven't been able to get a coin fountain using 1 soybean. Is there any way to PPD 2 spots using TimeHorse's bot?

Andrew, the coin fountain exploit doesn't work with soybeans. Since you have to spend 50 coins to attain the next coin fountain, there's no combination of soybeans (15 coins) and plowing (15 coins) that will get you to 50.

Currently, the only crops that will work are Strawberries (2 plots), Wheat (1 plot), and Sweet Corn (2 plots).

Using Sweet Corn, with a script, is going to get you a hellavalot of XP in a short period of time. If you can get immediate whither to acually be immediate, then you could probably gain 10,000 XP in less than 15 minutes, most of it free.

Even without the coin fountain exploit, and running the soybean delete method using Sweet Corn and immediate wither is a great way to quickly pile up the XP (although it isn't free).

[TimeHorse]

To create a 2-plot area for my bot, you have 2 choices (assuming you want the plots adjacent):

Rows: 1

Columns: 2

or

Rows: 2

Columns: 1

And then remember to set the second click point to the bottom corner of the top-left-most plot of your 2.

You can then PPD or PPW to your heart's content with that small size and the latest seems to have fixed the seed selection bug though only allows seeds from the first page still. Though, the thing with seed selection is that it will click the button pretty fast but it still takes a while on my machines at least for the client-side game to acknowledge the click and close the dialog so if you think the mouse is just sitting there, that's why.

[TimeHorse]

Now, game uses http://static-facebook.farmville.com/v8506/fv_fuel_price_test_3.xml instead of the old xml file, so our fiddler regex needs to change a little...

Edit: What a strange name for a GameSettings file

Yeah, I've seen that reported, but even more strange IMHO as I'm not seeing it. My hacked gameSettings.xml still seems to be loaded and applied to the game when I run it on an alternate account (2 accounts locked out now -- apparently the limit is less than 5000 objects! My guess is it's 4096. Stupid Zynga! 4096 max objects when a 22x22 can have a smidgen less than twice that? This means, the largest farm you can theoretically have is 64x64 with NO other objects in the game. No point in going past 16x16 for that!). I've not hacked fv_fuel_price_test_3.xml but I don't want to discuss this further here and prefer this topic move to the FarmVille Network Cheat mailing list.

[TimeHorse]

I successfully made a PHP script that would automatically send you a gift, but facebook disabled the accounts . I wonder how they figured out.

That is weird. PHP though? Well, I suppose that would work, though if it's not serving a web page isn't it just Perl?

Either way, I'm thinking a GreaseMonkey script to automatically select gifts and accept them is something I've been considering but I'm to busy with other projects at the moment. Interestingly, I've been considering writing my Network Bot in Python since the current one only runs on Windows, among other reasons.

Well, kliketa's post says that the relevant file is now http://static-facebook.farmville.com/v8506/fv_fuel_price_test_3.xml but I'm not seeing it. I need to add this to the FAQ but you may need to reload your Farm using the forced reload without going to cache. You do this by holding down the {SHIFT} key while clicking the Reload button of your browser. {SHIFT}+{F5} does NOT work, nor does {SHIFT}+{COMMAND}+R on a Mac with Safari or Firefox. It has to be the {SHIFT}+{CLICK} AFAICT.

Either way, as I said, I've been running my hacked gameSettings.xml without issue on the remaining farms I can access.
