Kovan's OGBot

Kovan's OGBot, although translated to english which I like for a change, works only on spanish ogame (ogame.com.es). Unfortunately, I'm far from Spain and don't have an account there so this is one more bot that I can't try.
So far, it can send attacks on inactive planets and has it's own espionage database. It may not seem much but judging by the screenshots it's doing it's job pretty good.
Hopefully someday the author will be kind enough to make it work on all localized ogame versions - unlikely though, it hasn't been updated in few months.
You can see more screenshots and download the bot from the author's site.
If anyone here plays on spanish universes, please tell me if it works or not. Thanks.

OGame Bot

Although I got this bot a couple of weeks ago, it was released to public today.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get this to work, mostly because I don't understand any french. And to be honest I didn't bother much either. I'm looking forward to the day when I will find a bot translated to english.
Anyway, I'll just list some features:

• exporting galaxy map to OGSpy/Galaxytool
• usage of proxy servers
• emulation of human behaviour (mmm...)
• auto fleet rescue (fleet save)
• alarm when attacked (sound, external applications, url's ...)

There's a lot more features, but you'll have to figure it out yourself. You can use Babelfish to translate the page.
I'm really hoping for a good english translation of this software, it looks very promising so far.

Thanks to the author for giving me a head start ;)

later edit:
After some consideration I have decided to remove the links to author's website. He has a nice explanation on his site on how to steal people's accounts. Cheating is as far as I go. This is where I draw the line, in my opinion stealing other people's hard earned accounts is immoral and low.
However, I have uploaded the bot to Rapidshare and YourFileLink, you can download the bot there. If you are unable to download from those sources, post a comment and I will upload somewhere else.

OGame Spy Report Beautifier

This script is not published on userscripts.org, at least I haven't found it yet.
I'm still thinking whether to use it or not, since I play for 10 months now I can pretty much estimate how many cargos I need. It takes a day or two to get used to it, but it can be useful in times.
Anyway, the script adds the required number of cargo ships to steal resources in a spy report. You need Greasemonkey to use it.
Although it is written in portugese, you can just change the source of the script to say "small cargos" and "large cargos" in english, or any other language (I don't think the author will mind if you do ;) ).
To do that, open Greasemonkey options - either right-click on the icon in status bar, or go to Tools > Add-ons > Greasemonkey > Options. Then find Ogame Cargos Calc., and click on edit. A dialog opens, asking you to find the program you want to edit it with - WordPad (not Word) will be fine, Notepad might mess things up. When you have it opened, change the following to whatever you want:

• Cargueiros Necessarios - Cargos necesarry

• Cargueiros Pequenos - Small cargos

• Cargueiros Grandes - Awesome huge slow cargos

And save. That should do the trick.
The author claims this script works only on portugese ogame, although it worked for me on ogame.ba. I'll try later today on ogame.org, I need a few hundred deuterium for combustion drive, in order to be able to spy someone. Any offers?
You can check the authors blog for more info and a link to install the script.

Thanks for the mail ;)

Later update: works on ogame.org

More update: seems it doesn't work on .org. Showing zero cargos required.

One more update: the script is updated to work with ogame.org

Did you ever cheat in OGame

I've added a little poll here, and I'm eager to see the results after a few days. So the question is: do you cheat in OGame or not? How many of you cheaters are there?
And yeah, I said how many of you, not how many of us. Despite the fact that I'm getting better and better at this, I still play fair; I do have a multiaccount though but it's 3 galaxies away and there was no contact so far - I just wanna be prepared if the day comes.
When did you start to cheat and why? Did my site help? You ever got banned? Share your experience.

OGAL - OGame Alarm

OGAL is a OGame alarm tool which can send SMS messages when you are under attack.
It's damn usefull, but unfortunately only to polish UNI6 users. The author stopped developing the tool some time ago so there's little chance for the tool to support other languages and universes. I've e-mailed the author to see if he plans on adding new features, when and if I receive a reply it will be updated here.
(old download link removed)
I don't think a tool like this is hard to make, but then again I know almost nothing about programming. If some of you folks have the skills and some time to spare, this might be a nice idea for your next project.

Update:

After talking to the author, it has come to my attention that this tool is still under development, although not on Sourceforge, but on this polish Ogame forum.
You can download the latest version of OGAL and read more about it in this topic (most of you, including me won't understand much due to polish language). You also need to download a patch for OGAL in order for it to work.
The author claims it works for all world universes now, although I am unable to confirm that since my account on .org is only a few hours old :). I'll take his word for it.
It seems there are various options included in this version, including a feature that can launch external applications, for sending SMS messages or e-mails.
All in all, the tool looks awesome, although there is room for improvement.
I'm not sure if it can be traced or not, perhaps the author wishes to post a comment here to clarify that. Perhaps it should 'check' your account in random, customizable intervals, say every 2-5 minutes - I can't find that information.
The only thing I can't forgive is the lack of english translation and documentation. Hopefully that will be added soon.

Many thanks to Bojer, OGAL author, who was very helpful with this.

Hello Gameforge

I noticed I'm getting visitors from this forum... Nice of you to stop by dear GO's, it seems I'm on the right track here since I got your attention. If any of you guys feel like sharing some inside information I'll be delighted to hear, you can stay anonymous if you want I won't mind.
I'm sure we can work something out ;)

Automate data input in GalaxyTool

It is mentioned in the post about SheepPro that automated tools are illegal from Gameforge's point of view, so I suggest you be careful when using this. Use your multiaccount not your main account.
You probably won't get caught, unless you update 10 times a day - but nevertheless don't say I didn't warn you.
The script is called OGame Galaxy Return 2, and you need Greasemonkey to use it.
You could always just manually fill your Galaxytool, but there's no fun in that.

SheepPro - OGame Galaxy Map

SheepPro is a searchable galaxy database available for all .org universes, much similar to Galaxytool (I'll say a few things about that soon ;) ).
I can't find any information about how often it is updated on SheepPro website, but when searching about it on ogame.org forums someone mentioned once a month. Gameforge says this tool is illegal, because the author uses an automated script to search the galaxy.

Let's try to clear this a bit shall we.

In this thread:
User: you cannot ban someone for visiting a website (sheeppro)
not to mention track it at all.
Game Admin's answer: I can and I will...

So, this admin can obviously track the websites you visit? Oh dear what a child... There are only two ways he can know you visited SheepPro website: you can either tell him yourself, or he would have to get access to website owner's visitor logs - no real chances for any of this to happen. Even if you visit the site, doesn't mean you used it. The only person that can get banned here is the admin (website admin not OGame admin) because, as mentioned, he uses automated means to scan the galaxy and input it into the database. They can track him thats for sure, there are many database queries when he scans the galaxy and it surely does raise an alert or two.
Again, you are perfectly safe to use SheepPro (whats sheep got to do with OGame?), just don't tell it to the admins.

Well enough about that. Lets review the features a bit. All of the standard stuff is here, searching for players, viewing statistics, alliances... But the advanced statistics search rocks. You can filter the search with custom values. For example, it's easy to find players with, say, more than 1000 and less than 3000 ships. I bet it can be very usefull to all the raiders out there.

Thanks a bunch to a dear reader who pointed me to SheepPro ;)
If anyone has anything to contribute just post a comment. Thank you.

Ogame Multitool

While I personally can't find any good use for this tool, some may find it usefull I hope.
The Ogame Multitool provides several tools for OGame, with very similar features as O-calc: fleet costs, technologies, flight time, mines production, moon destruction, phalanx range, interplanetary rockets range etc.
If you find it usefull, or you just want 'o-calc offline' go ahead and download.
