Hey man, it's me, necromancer! about afk-clicker

[eHonnef]

Hello, could you provide more details about the errors?

• Environment that you are trying to run (python version, operating system, etc)
• The error message

Currently I can't promise that I will make changes in the code, but I can see what I can do.

My thought is that it probably actually works, but I can't install dependencies listed, since it's so hella old. And can't launch code without them. Also I forgot to mention that I'm looking for an autoclicker to type 1 letter in an inactive window every 20 seconds. So maybe it can't even do it in theory, idk

[eHonnef]

Hey, so I just checked on a Windows 10 VM using the newest python 3.12.0 and it still works :)

The trick was to bump the version of pywin32 and remove the dependency of win32gui. I updated the requirements.txt in the last commit.

Please, update with the latest commit e5f4094, give a try and let me know if it worked.

[dasiuk]

Ok, yeah. It definitely does something now for sure. But there are still some strange things going on. I repeated your tests, tested in Minecraft and notepad, as well as TF2 (where I hope it'll work) and CS2. So it does not work in any games at all, nothing. But in Notepad it does. Since it has to press letter 'r' every 20 seconds, I tested it with command python Main.py -k 0x52 -p %code%, and instead of typing 'r' it repeatedly typed 虀 (ex 虀虀虀虀虀虀虀虀虀) instead. So maybe windows can't recognize the symbol I'm trying to type? I had english keyboard on at the moment and my Windows is in english too

[dasiuk]

I changed that one number from 1 to 20, so It'll now type every 20 seconds I think. I also tried googling the problem, but found no issues like that, maybe that's on my PC or something. I also tested a few other codes (0x50, 0x51) and they all type the same symbol 虀 instead of letter they supposed to type

LoL 😆

What you can try to check is in this line https://github.com/eHonnef/afk-clicker/blob/master/windows/Main.py#L83

That line is the one that posts the keystroke to the window handle. Maybe it should post another struct besides the win32con.WM_CHAR.

Maybe I will give a look in the weekend or next week, idk. This code is a little big mess that I ducked tape long ago.

[dasiuk]

Sorry, I just don't know how to code. And your "mess" almost works exactly as needed. Still idk if it'll work for valve's games as some autoclickers don't but to it's huuge still

[dasiuk]

Ay, have you looked into the code?

Hello, sorry, I have no plans to work on this for now. Maybe you'll have some luck in one of the forks.
