FameBot Not Moving

[KrakoviaDev]

I recently was trying to get a famebot and I saw yours. It seemed very good and I tried it out, but I couldn't get it to move. I did everything required, /bind, tried changing settings, and more. I looked at the key presses menu and it showed the bot pressing keys, but I wasn't moving.

Note: Using Wine on a Mac

The bot says that it's bound to an Unknown process, but it should be bound to something like Adobe Flash Player or similar. /bind will only work if you are on the proxy server, so make sure you are on that. I haven't tested this with Wine for Mac, and there's a good chance that this is the source of the issue because the bot makes heavy use of the Windows API to move the player.

I was on the proxy server.
Is there any way you could test it on Wine for Mac and help me fix it?
Or find an alternative for Wine that works?
Thanks.

Unfortunately I don't have a Mac I can use to test this with at the moment, but I can look into Wine and how much of the Windows API it offers later today to see if that is the cause.

Alright thanks! Really looking forward to using your famebot.

Wine might not be a very good idea to use here.
If you have a genuine mac with enough space, try dualing booting Windows 7 with Bootcamp, it's hilariously easy; then you'd have all the benefits from Windows on your mac (without doing anything to your Mac OS X).

(Be warned the trackpad turns to shit on windows 7 for some reason, I can talk from my own experience)

I've heard about Bootcamp but I wouldn't like to restart my computer every time to switch. Do you know about any other alternatives to it?
Edit: I accidentally keep closing it when I want to click comment

try fusion virtualization

As much as I would like to fix this, I don't have a Mac so trying to reproduce any behaviour and fix this will be very hard for me to do.
I am also a bit skeptical of any Windows emulators working because of how many PInvokes are used.
PInvoke calls are not checked at compile time, so the program will attempt to execute whether the method you are trying to PInvoke exists or not.

If the method doesn't exist, an exception will be thrown, so the best 'fix' I can do without buying a Mac would be catching these exceptions and warning the user that the famebot is not compatible with their system.
