Sacred Seasons 1 grind script bot v0.027

The script has been working pretty good lately.  You know what happens when you let the script run for days at a time - you chew up a lot of bandwidth, that's what happens!  A truly surprising, almost got my butt kicked off my ISP amount of bandwidth.  So I guess I'll just play at Panera Bread at lunchtime from now on.  But the script development must continue!
Here is version 0.027 - courtesy of Pastebin - get it here.
I finally got attack to work without the mouse slooowing moving across the screen so that sped up the script a little bit (but it's still just as fast as playing normally - remember, for better or worse, this is a helper script, not a speed hack).
You still need AutoIT's window info to find your screen coordinates and manually enter them in the script.  There's useful documentation spread out all over the script - read it before you whine that this doesn't work.
I'll work on making future versions more user friendly.

Useful things added in this version - stats on how much Experience per minute you are getting.  This let's you find out useful things like - with just attacks (since this script can't cast spells...yet), Underworld D2 gets you more exp/min than Underworld F4 (aka Choppers).  Yes, Choppers has more experience, but there are more creatures there so you finish D2 quicker.

Trying out Wordpress as well

So after playing with Blogspot a bit, I was unimpressed.  My main beef is that I couldn't even attach a simple text file (the Sacred Seasons bot script) to a post.  So I setup a site on Wordpress http://madscripter.wordpress.com/- thinking I would just move the site over there.

Well, it's the same nonsense over there.  You can attach pictures, mp3s, movies, etc all you want.  But try to attach a simple text file - no good.  You need to stick it somewhere else.  So I'll run the site at both places for a little bit (will that anger the overlords at Google?) until I see which site is less annoying.

Sacred Seasons 1 grind script / bot v0.018

Added BRA, BWA and DFA arena grinds.  All will repeat after you die.
I'm thinking that running arenas is less conspicuous than running a dungeon over and over.  Figuring out which arena gets you the best XP/min is up to you.  But make sure you can finish the first room of the arena or else the script will bomb.  I'll fix that eventually.

Added more checks to compensate for server delays so that the script doesn't hang.

Added a display timer that shows you how long in seconds the previous run of the script took - good for figuring out how much XP/min that particular dungeon/arena is getting you.

And hey - if you like the script - tell a friend.  Post the link on a messageboard.  The more people that use it - the more it gets debugged and with more feedback and suggestions, it will get even better.
