Howl - the free bot framework for Initium

A python based bot framework for the browser game initium which provides an interface for players to interact with and control the bot through various in-game chat channels.

Modules

Currently this project includes the following modules:

• Owl - a shop-searching bot for providing players with requested items found in the local merchant booths.
• Auction - a bot for selling items to players for the highest price.
• Records - a stat-tracking bot to record the best items

and more to come! Feel free to submit your own in a pull request ;)

Dependencies

This project was written using Python 3.4, and uses a Google Chrome webdriver and selenium to interact with dynamic webpages. This can be done in a headless style, which requires pyvirtualdisplay and xvfb.

You'll need to install Chrome's WebDriver per Google's instructions.

Afterwards, install the remaining dependencies via command line:

sudo apt-get install xvfb
sudo pip3 install selenium pytz tzlocal pyvirtualdisplay

Config File

You will need a config in the directory you run the bot. It must be named cfg.json

Example cfg.json

{
    "email": "your-email@your.domain.com",
    "uname": "YourUsername",
    "pw": "YourPassword"
}

Running

Owl:

./owl.py -h
./owl.py
./owl.py -l

In typical operation, players can private message Owl to search shops for items containing a string, shown here:
