Silkroad Online Automated Login

I play Silkroad Online. They aren't exactly the best of MMORPGs around, but I'm in nonetheless. This post is about a (semi-) auto login script I came up with for my own convenience. Nothing special, it's just a combination of mouse clicks and keystrokes that the script can do on your behalf.

This is not a hack, and I don't believe there is anything illegal about it. The script stops after clicking on the "Connect" button in the login page.

Firstly download the AutoIt3 scripting utility here.

Next, copy the following codes for sro_login.au3 into a text file named sro_login.au3 (duh) and if it can't find sro_login.ini in the same folder when you run it for the first time, you will be prompted for your username and password. Your credentials will then be stored (unencrypted!) in the said .ini file for subsequent use.

Then create a shortcut to trigger the .au3 script instead of using your usual SRO shortcut. You may also want to choose the SRO icon for this shortcut too.

Here's what it does in summary:

1. Run Silkroad.exe (the launcher)
2. Waits until the "News" gets loaded
3. Clicks on the Start button
4. Waits for 10.5s so that the cinematics start playing
5. Fills in your username and password to login
6. Quit
   

sro_login.ini (the main script will prompt you to create this on first run)

[SRO_Client]
username=enter_your_own_username
password=enter_your_own_password

And that's it, you're good to go. I know it's somewhat primitive, but hey it works for me. Give it a spin and let me know if you like it!
