PunkBuster Hates AHK and I can't find a better program

[Bugattikid2012]

So as the title says, PB hates AHK because some people use scripting programs to do no recoil macros and the like, so most gaming things hate it. I want to find a work around. I have a simple script setup for essentially this:

Code: Select all

^*Second Key I want for the hotkey*::
Send {*chat button* down}
Delay 1
Send {*chat button* up}
SendInput *message here* Enter
Return

Rinse and repeat about 16 times for all my keybinds. They work fine even in BF4, but PB kicks me after anywhere from joining, to up to ~45 mins later. I can't live with this, however I REALLY want to keep these keybinds. Note I am not spamming with these, most are just simply, "We're losing Alpha!" or the like. The rest are just for jokes with my friends. They send fine, but you just have to not press anything on the keyboard for ~.5-1 second before sending the hotkey. I've check around with alternative programs, and none are easy to get working with BF4, as you need a delay between the chat button down and up, so without that it's pretty much impossible to get working. If it's too hard to get this working, I'm thinking it's time I start learning C++ like I've always wanted to and setup a simple .exe to do what I want this macro to do. It shouldn't be too hard, just add a few libraries for low level chat input, and delays, then something to compile it as an .exe... But of course everything is harder than it first appears, and Murphy's Law always applies.

Thanks for all the help I recieve, and thanks for the awesome program!

Right, I don't have BF4, but do you launch it via origin?

[Bugattikid2012]

Yes, I do launch it via origin. It then opens a "battlelog" page in my web browser, and from there I can choose a server, and pretty much do everything. So You start via origin, then go to battlelog, then choose a server, and then start playing.

Have you tried compiling your script? Or perhaps use an alternative build like v2 or AutoHotkey_H?

[Bugattikid2012]

I am already using it compiled, however I have not tried (or heard of) V2 or _H versions... Please explain, and link me to the documentation on them if possible.

I did some searching.. took me a while to find some exploits... But anyway... try this:

[Bugattikid2012]

This is... interesting... But couldn't I get banned for this? Like perma banned from all servers?

[joedf]

I dont know... but if it's sandboxed... it's pretty hard/impossible to detect anyway...

[Bugattikid2012]

If that's the case, why don't we see everyone using this to hack? Thanks though, this looks promising. I'll check it out.

Sandboxie is not hack or exploit. It is mainly used for isolate programs from other software and OS. So I don't think that using legal not exploit and not hack software can get you banned. But they can detect not human behavior and ban you for that.

[Bugattikid2012]

Hmm, so is it basically a VM? It just seems like if this would allow AHK to run, everyone would be running their no recoil scripts with this, and never worry about bans. Anyways, it looks really interesting, and if it's not perma bannable or anything, then I think I've found my solution. I'll post back here if I find anything of interest before I run this, and I will let you know how it turns out, and what is needed to make it work.

Good luck

Have you tried using HotKeyIt's InjectAhkDll() function to inject the script into some other process e.g. chrome or notepad (not BF!), thereby hiding it inside another process. This is a common technique used by external hacks.

[vasili111]

Hmm, so is it basically a VM?

No. Sandboxie is sandboxing software which allows you to isolate software from other software and OS. It does not emulates hardware as VM does.

I have not tried this, however if I am using hacking tricks, I'm imagining I might be receiving bans instead of kicks. I've been busy the past couple days, however as soon as I get a chance I will be trying these methods and seeing what happens.
