Cursor stuck on upper left corner of the screen

[RandomFisher]

Hi. I've been trying to make Fishbot working with no effect.

Every time I start the Fishbot, it casts fine. However after casting, the mouse cursor goes straight to the upper left corner of the screen and never moves. When I try to move the cursor, it goes back to the corner. As it doesn't try to search the bobber, it appears to do nothing after the splash but release the cursor to be able to move again.

Is there any solution?

[henrikhermansen]

@RandomFisher are you still having this issue? If so I can try to analyze this a bit more closely, but it does sound like an odd bug. Do you have a multi monitor setup btw?

[Huddo89]

My issue too. I do have multi monitor, playing vanilla wow. Cursor goes to top left of my right hand (main monitor) I have tried disconnecting my second monitor and restarting with just a single. I have also tried to play wow in my second monitor. Did have a load of mods including xperl, disabled all but to no effect

[Mograine]

Can you please re-try with the newest version since we re-coded the bobber finder ?

[henrikhermansen]

@RandomFisher @Huddo89

[Huddo89]

Still same issue, building new PC within the week with single GPU will test again. *Note playing vanilla wow

[Muffinek]

i have this problem too, cursor stuck in left top corner, I have only one monitor :/

[MeiHouwang]

I have the same problem, with cursor going straight to upper left corner. And I have one monitor too. Please fix it.

[gmillerd]

I am pretty sure you are in windowed mode, but maximized to full screen (no border). Try windowed mode and still be able to see the minimize/maximize/close buttons.

[vdanielpop]

Has anyone came up with a solution for this? I am running it with WoW 2.4.3, the casting works fine but the mouse goes up in the left corner and just stays there

OS: Windows 8.1
Resolution: 1366x768

EDIT: After a bit of debugging, I got to the GetWowRectangle() method in Win32.cs . For some reason, it doesn't find the window and the pointer that returns is 0, causing the mouse cursor to be stuck in the left corner.

EDIT2: Ok, so the problem was fixed partially, after I replaced
IntPtr Wow = FindWindow("GxWindowClass", "World of Warcraft");
with
IntPtr Wow = FindWindow(null, "World of Warcraft");

The next issue that appeared is that the cursor icon while you hover the bobber is different from the one you use in your app, looks like this. I'll try to find a workaround for this issue and will come back with comments later on.

[gmillerd]

Need to be on the primary display as well, if you have multiple monitors have wow on the primary monitor.

The cursor doesnt matter, its looking for cursor changes so if a monster walks buy during the can it will grab it.

[vdanielpop]

I am playing on my laptop, so I only have one display.
And I am pretty sure the mouse cursor matters, otherwise, I don't see any way he can establish the initial position of the blobber while surfing the rectangle.

[gmillerd]

Sorry to hear that, I am sure there are a number of issues with this corner problem. I have a number of monitors and this application only works when the monitor is primary, the cursor always moves over to the primary corner if the window is moved to another monitor.

If you go to display properties and then identify, just make sure the monitor is "1" and not your external monitor if any. To be clear, if you are using another video port it may not be the primary.

On the cursor discussion, the cursor is moved across the window within the x,y x2,y2 area

Ever so often the cursorinfo is checked to see if it has changed, this rate of check is a configuration option.

The detection of the cursor changing is all that is looked for, it doesnt know what changed it, so for example if a enemy walks in the path of the cursor scan, the cursor would change from hand to sword (to attack) and the bobber would be though to have been detected ... and the cursor movement stops.

You can see this easily when you fish in mop areas with monsters on the water surface or when other players walk in front of your bobber.

This is exactly as described in the faq and how the application works in practice.

You can make it detect a bobber pretty easily if you just bring up your bags 'b' key infront of the cursor and it changes when looking at a item to use it.

[Crystalleaf]

I have solved this problem with 2 changes.
I'm from China so my wow.exe is actually named 魔兽世界 and in this project it is written to be World of Warcraft.
So my solution is:

In the function SendMouseClick() in Classes\helpers\win32.cs
change the first line from
IntPtr Wow = FindWindow("GxWindowClass", "World Of Warcraft");
to
IntPtr Wow = FindWindow(null, "魔兽世界");

Second in the function SendMouseClick() in Classes\helpers\win32.cs
change the first line from
IntPtr Wow = FindWindow("GxWindowClass", "World Of Warcraft");
to
IntPtr Wow = FindWindow(null, "魔兽世界");

After this the program works great on my computer.
Thanks the author~!

[SoftwareGuyRob]

Thank you @Crystalleaf for your post.

I'm embarrassed to say that I never considered the name of the .exe being different!

[mullz0r]

Guys.. I have this exact problem. My cursor gets stuck in the top-left part of the screen as the program tries to find the bobber. As I try to move the mouse it keeps moving itself to the top-left corner, so it's definitely doing something. It just doesn't seem to be able to move around inside the WoW window.

I'm a total noob when it comes to code, so I have no idea what Crystalleaf is talking about. Anyone fixed this problem and got a version that works that a noob like me can use?

[Formeszter]

Hey, Folks. I tried to fish with your bot, but I'm stuck with this problem too!
As far as I can tell I've tried it:

• Fullscreen-Windowed(maxd)-Windowed(usual) none worked! (how to says make it window and shrink it, so regular windowed seems to work, but not for me!)
• Several Cursos Findung settings from both low to both high, high-low and low-high and kinda all possible tries! (none worked)
• Also tried to change code as Crystalleaf did. Re-did all my previous tries! (still not working)

Some other stuff I experienced. As I use latest version with the spiral route alt cursor finding, if that is checked the cursos stays out of game window (but finds it) like its stuck and the border of the window! If not checked it gets inside but stays where wants to stay.
Somehow I was able to move my mouse from tha starting point, but when casting starts again, it goes back! I tried to take mouse over blobber by hand and waited the bot to 'catch', but nothing happened! Not even heard it. So I started to check about sounding options.
I'm pretty sure others noticed that casting is also with sound (when string touches water it splashes too).
I started to look in the setting, which effect is louder... Well starting splash was usually just 2-3 point less then actual splash!
So I guess putting it the best amount would be hard.
I also tried to put the Delay After Cast timer as high as it cannot hear the start-splash but usually would start before actually catching anything...
After all this noobish tries i looked my Statistics and saw only fish not found numbers...
Can it happen for like it casts and then nothing happened? :S

I also did something that I don't know how, but the bot started to cast fishing so fast like a spammer, like 1cast/sec - If you know why this happened, please tell me!

If anybody wants to know I'm using Win 7 32bit system and playing on 1.12 patch.

So if anybody using the same OS / patch AND can share a working bot with setting via some download I'd appreciate it!

Sorry for the long post, but it is really annoying that I found a quite cool bot and its not working at all!!!

Thanks

[LaBlazer]

Can you try using the latest version with custom area selection? If that'll work for you, then we can be sure that there is a problem with the bot getting the wow window...

I just tried to download the code and compiled it from scratch, and it worked without problems... It seems that the fody version is outdated...

In short Fody is a dependency for Costura and Costura is package that embeds other dependencies as resources into application...

[LaBlazer]

try to compile it now, ive updated the dependencies...

[Xeiro]

I just tried to compile lastes version and this is the result:

1>C:\Users\Xeiro\Desktop\UltimateFishbot-CSharp\UltimateFishBot\UltimateFishBot.csproj(212,5): error : This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer.

I do have enabled downloading of the missing packages.

[LaBlazer]

Yeah, it just happened to me too... i will repair it, but Im unable to run visual studio, because Im updating it from 2013 to 2015

[Xeiro]

Ok, np. Anyway - i downloaded older version and used fix to recognize wow process (window). I used IntPtr Wow = FindWindow(null, "World of Warcraft");

So now It switch to wow and starts to find bobber. But my problem is, that it is not casting my fishing skill and if I cast it manually, it does not click when it should. So problem is, that it is not sending "key usage" to wow.

Any ideas pls?

[LaBlazer]

i dont know, try to running it as administrator

[Xeiro]

Still the same problem.

[magnapeccatrix]

I have deleted my comments because no one is helping. We have sorted out the problem.

[LaBlazer]

Sorry, but I was busy with my school... Can you at least tell us how did you fix it??

[Lenni-s]

Windows 7 uses different then "GxWindowClass" class name. My local fix was to use null instead

[LaBlazer]

Can you then please download winlister (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/winlister.html) and tell me what is your class name?

[Lenni-s]

GxWindowClassD3d

[LaBlazer]

Thank you, i will try to fix it...

[wowkiller]

I just started playing vanilla wow and tried fishbot but I have the same issue, cursor hits the top left of the desktop and just stays there. Anyupdate on a fix for that? I have windows 7 installed and I am using a monitor connected (HDMI) to my Dell laptop. Thanks! I look forward to catching some tasty fish!

[wowkiller]

Is anyone able to use this on Windows 7 with Vanilla Wow and no problems?

[MonstaKilla]

I tested on WotLK client (probably works with TBC and vanilla too) replacing GxWindowClass with GxWindowClassD3d at SendMouseClick and GetWowRectangle and disabling Check Cursor Icon and works fine.
According to Winlister, Cata is GxWindowClass so you should have no problem there (probably the same with MoP,WoD). It has probably something to do with the graphical changes during Cata.
Since the icon for bobber mouseover was changed from gear cursor to hook cursor in Cata, having Check Cursor Icon option toggled on while using wotlk or lower will not work.
I tried replacing the .bmp file of the cursor in Resources folder but the mouse didn't stop neither. I tried many gear icons, even screenshotting the one in game (with highest quality) but didn't work. I guess it has something to do with the size of the icon since the method imageCompare checks first if the two images have the same height and width. I noticed that the hook icon has 35x35 but the gear icon i found on WowWiki had 32x32 (screenshotted icon had 28x28 which is a bit odd). It would probably work if someone got the actual image from game data files.

If you have wotlk version or lower just download the newest version of the Fishbot, correct the code lines I mentioned above and toggle off Check Cursor Icon in the settings (don't forget to manually set the scanning area in the settings, the searching is much more efficient if you select the area well). If you have Cata or higher, your problem should be solved by tweaking the Settings.

[evilpookie]

Thanks for your input MonstaKilla, Downloading VSC now, I'm also having the cursor issue. I'll let you know if i can confirm

Running Vanilla WoW 1.12.1 x32 bit Client
Windows 10

[evilpookie]

Update*

Following your steps provided Fishbot is working as intended, besides the Anti-AFK function, it crashes the bot every time.

[Dudein]

Hi guys! :)

I have currently more than lost my mind trying to get this to work...

those thingies you talk about chaning, how and where do i find them to be exact?

If you could specify exactly how, and maybe a path for us (aparently retardos) that would be great!

[Hexenbane89]

So, anyone solved problem with left corner of the screen ?

[StefanZivanovic]

Hello, i made Github account to ask you. I'm having same problem. I'm don't have skills and i don't know anything about coding. Can someone help me with this by simple download and anything like that? Thanks

[MetaverseJosh]

Having same issue, has anyone found a fix that doesn't require recompiling stuff? I don't know jack about code and compiling. Can someone just upload a fixed version if you have it working?

[raaloid]

http://www.filedropper.com/fishbot

i compiled it with the necessary changes, re-uploaded...

it's latest version (as of 11/24/2016)

[Gromgar]

@raaloid

Unfortunately, your compiled version doesn't work for current Legion patch, cursor is still stuck on top left of screen.

[dissonanceoflove]

how does this filedropper work? Same problem w10, 1.12.1 client , 1 monitor

[dissonanceoflove]

MonstaKilla? can you please explain how to edit the prgram in VSC?

[hezt]

@Crystalleaf 多谢多谢!

[ilikefish]

I'm having the exact issue as well. I've tried the latest download, from here: https://github.com/UltimateFishbot/UltimateFishbot/releases/tag/Fishbot-4.0.36

Cursor just sit in the top left hand corner.

I only have the one monitor, I'm on a private server - tbc - 2.4.3.
If you need any more information, let me know.

[braczy]

All, I found the issue. Leaving the code exactly as it is for US/ENGLISH versions, the task manager name of the application for WoW.exe is World of Warcraft. This also can be seen in the properties of the executable. The code in the Win32.cs file has two functions:

public static Rectangle GetWowRectangle()
IntPtr Wow = FindWindow("GxWindowClass", "World Of Warcraft");

This fails because of the capital "O" for Of. Changing this to lowercase "o" allows the wow window to be found by the fishingbot and the cursor to begin searching within it.

As well as in the function:

public static void SendMouseClick()
IntPtr Wow = FindWindow("GxWindowClass", "World of Warcraft");

Corrected: IntPtr Wow = FindWindow("GxWindowClass", "World of Warcraft");

After changing these, I rebuilt, published, and executed and works like a charm!

Hope this helps the developer and others!

[dissonanceoflove]

so braczy could you pls explain me in layperson language how you "changed, rebuilt, published, and executed"? I really want to fish bro pls.

Based on @daniel-widrick's work in March / April 2018, it looks like he resolved this issue. Is this newest version available for download somewhere?

[daniel-widrick]

I haven't seen any movement from the original dev in awhile:

[pgarrett1121]

Thanks, I'll give it a try tonight
