OS Bot COLOR (OSBC) is a desktop client for controlling and monitoring automation scripts for games. This application is paired with a toolkit for writing new scripts. Unlike popular automation frameworks that modify/inject code into a game's client, OSBC is completely hands-off; it uses a combination of color detection, image recognition, and optical character recognition to navigate the game. The goal of OSBC is to provide a fun and educational learning experience for new & seasoned developers alike, emphasizing the exploration of automation technologies and not to encourage or support activities that are in violation of any game's Terms of Service.

Developer Setup

Install Python 3.10 (not compatible with other major versions)
Clone/download this repository
Open the project folder in your IDE of choice (Visual Studio Code recommended)
Open the repository folder in a terminal window
1. Create a virtual environment py -3.10 -m venv env
2. Activate the newly created virtual environment .\env\Scripts\activate
3. Install the depedencies pip install -r requirements.txt
Run ./src/*OSBC.py* (may need to restart IDE for it to recognize installed dependencies)

Documentation

See the Wiki for tutorials, and software design information.

Features

User Interface

OSBC offers a clean interface for configuring, running, and monitoring your Python bots. For developers, this means that all you need to do is write a bot's logic loop, and the UI is already built for you.

Script Log

The Script Log provides a clean and simple way to track your bot's progress. No more command line clutter!

self.log_msg("The bot has started.")

Simple Option Menus

OSBC allows developers to create option menus and parse user selections with ease.

def create_options(self):
  ''' Declare what should appear when the user opens the Options menu '''
  self.options_builder.add_slider_option("running_time", "How long to run (minutes)?", 1, 180)
  self.options_builder.add_text_edit_option("text_edit_example", "Text Edit Example", "Placeholder text here")
  self.options_builder.add_checkbox_option("multi_select_example", "Multi-select Example", ["A", "B", "C"])
  self.options_builder.add_dropdown_option("menu_example", "Menu Example", ["A", "B", "C"])

Human-like Mouse Movement

OSBC uses Bezier curves to create smooth, human-like mouse movements.

Object Detection

Using color isolation, OSBC can quickly locate objects/NPCs outlined by solid colors and extract their properties into simple data structures.

Random Click Distribution

With the help of the OSBC community, we've created a randomization algorithm that distributes clicks in a way that is more human-like.

Efficient Image Searching

Sometimes, your bot might need to find a specific image on screen. We've modified OpenCV's template matching algorithm to be more efficient and reliable with UI elements and sprites - even supporting images with transparency.

Lightning Fast Optical Character Recognition

We've ditched machine learned OCR in favor of a much faster and more reliable custom implementation. OSBC can locate text on screen in as little as 2 milliseconds. That's 0.002 seconds.
