Diablo II JavaScript Parser Automates D2 Gameplay
mikegogulski writes "d2jsp is an embedded implementation of a JavaScript engine for executing user program code (scripts) inside Diablo II. d2jsp can be used to make Diablo II do almost anything that can be done in the game by a human player, and some things (such as knowing the immunities of monsters four screens away) that cannot. d2jsp has an installed base in the tens of thousands, an active user community of over 6500, and hundreds of active projects in its script database. Work progresses toward the Holy Grail of Diablo II hack development, the Complete Diablo Bot, which will eventually enable the entire game to be played automatically without human intervention.

Most of the comments are idiotic. You don't understand the concept of the game. Diablo II is an ITEM based game. The better the ITEM, the more valuable it is. Out of this came an economy. A virtual trade for better items or to sell for cash thru auction houses. Now the bots and scripts were created to get these items out greed for more cash. It was designed to automate repetive runs on boss monsters that yield the best items. Its not unheard of bots making 20,000, 40,000, 100,000+ runs to get the item drops.
I just want to know whether the person who wrote this program realiazes the irony of them slapping a licence agreement on a program whose sole purpose is to violate another programs licence agreement.
