We are currently trying to resolve this problem, please be patient.

The website is back on new address: extend.multiclicker2.org.

This is the time when Panel tab will come in handy. Here you can define any number of input fields, labels, tables, lists – simply any Swing components.

The panel class – let’s name it OurPanel for instance – must either implement SitePanel interface or extend BasicSitePanel class (both in package org.multiclicker2.core.sitepanels).

There are four methods that have to be implemented if you want to display custom panel and make it fully functional:

• getJPanel() – returns an instance of JPanel containing all your components
• isReady() – says whether all necessary fields in the current panel have been filled in and the values are valid
• getLoginDetails() – returns a map (java.util.Map) instance containing any key-value pairs that you need in your plugin
• setLoginDetails(java.util.Map) – fills the input fields in the panel with previously set login details, used when modifying accounts

Since this is Multiclicker2 and NetBeans tutorial, we will learn how to design the JPanel with NetBeans and then use it in MC2.

Create public class OurPanel and let it implement org.multiclicker2.core.sitepanels.SitePanel.

Now create new JPanel Form (New->Other->Swing GUI Forms), open it and design the JPanel to your needs. When you are finished, click on Source button and copy all the code to OurPanel so that the copied JPanel subclass is inner class of OurPanel. Make sure to remove all annotations and generics (List<String> => List) as the MC2 doesn’t support them.

Back to OurPanel, create member variable of type JPanel and initialize it in OurPanel constructor with a new instance of the inner class extending JPanel. Implement all four methods inherited from SitePanel.

When done, copy the code to Panel tab in MC2 Builder.

Discuss here.

Requirements:

• Multiclicker2
• Multiclicker2 API – extract contents of the archive first
• NetBeans

Launch Multiclicker2 (MC2) and open Builder (File->Builder). Optionally go through Wizard (File->New project->Wizard) to generate initial code.

Open NetBeans, create a new Java Application project, uncheck Create Main Class. Right-click the project, go to Properties->Libraries. Click Add JAR/Folder and select Multiclicker2API.jar, now click Edit and first Browse… button. Select javadoc.zip (should be located in the same folder as Multiclicker2API.jar).

Create a new class Wizard (or any other valid name). If you went through MC2 Wizard, copy all code from the Builder (Site tab) there. The class must extend one of classes in org.multiclicker2.core.sites package.

Use AbstractSite if you need 100% control over the site. However this class provides little to none site logic – you will have to implement all of it yourself.

SimpleSite provides basic site logic – error handling including simple error recovery and selecting which page to open. Opening the pages itselves is still up to you.

BuxLikeSite handles almost everything, you just tell it how to recognise several URLs and statistic details like number of clicks.

Discuss here.

From time to time I get a request for making a plugin for some site, all rejected. I have just enough time to repair major bugs in Multiclicker2 (if found, of course). Plugins are not in that category. Contact a plugin developer, I’m sure you will one on the forums, and if the site looks prosiming or if you help them somehow, they might build that plugin for you.

I know I’m terrible at responding to your emails and PMs even though I don’t get that many of them (in fact, barely any email reaches shores of my email box now). I am sorry. You know, I read your email, think about and leave the response to a better time. And when I’m finally about to respond, a month has passed and my reply just doesn’t matter anymore. Please, if you have a very important question, suggestion or whatever, don’t email me, post on the forums instead. You have much higher chance of getting your problem solved there.

Emails and PMs that have zero-percent chance of getting response are those written in any other language than English or Czech. Another chapter are messages obviously translated using some kind of translator service. I don’t answer them on purpose. It seriously hurts my eyes and brain to read them. I have to somehow recreate the original message myself while thinking about what would have the sender wanted to say if… No. Don’t bother yourself, I won’t even read it.

The opposite is true, I’ve successfully run MC2 on my Linux VPS (Debian) without any problems and with minimal effort.

Basically, there are two ways of achieving this.

• VNC – Virtual Network Computing
• X11 forwarding

Prerequisites

• openjdk-6-jre package or compatible JRE installed on the remote box.
• Debian box for this tutorial, other distros may use different package managers or different package names.
• root access.
• SSH client installed on your local system (PuTTY on Windows).
• Minimal knowledge of terminal and SSH use.

VNC

If you are running Windows on your local machine and don’t like the idea of running another desktop manager or if you just prefer persistent sessions and don’t need encryption, VNC is the way to go.

1. SSH to your Linux box.
2. The Linux box must have desktop environment installed (KDE, GNOME, Xfce, …). For xfce: $ apt-get install xfce4
3. $ apt-get install tightvncserver
4. $ vncserver :1 -geometry 1024×768 -depth 16  (this will start vncserver at display #1 and resolution 1024×768@16bpp)
5. Install VNC client (viewer) on your local machine. I went with TightVNC Viewer.
6. Run the VNC client, insert either DNS or IP address or your box followed by colon and number of display (mylinuxbox.com:1) and press OK.
7. Open a terminal emulator in your VNC session and navigate to the MC directory.
8. $ java -jar Multiclicker2.jar OR $ java -jar Multiclicker.jar

X11 forwarding

When secure connection is a mandatory or you like complete desktop, choose this method.

1. Windows users.
   1. Install X Server for Windows. Xming X Server is free. Run it.
   2. Run PuTTY and do everything you are used to in order to connect to your server but do not open the connection yet.
   3. Under Category: Connection->SSH->X11 tick Enable X11 forwarding.
   4. Click Open.

   Others.

   1. $ ssh -X -l <username> <box address>
   2. Enter your password.
2. Navigate to the MC directory.
3. $ java -jar Multiclicker2.jar OR $ java -jar Multiclicker.jar

Modified script

• Stops account immediately
• Very annoying

The famous error is meant to, in the first place, tell user that there is something wrong with the site script, that strings supposed to be there are missing. It doesn’t matter what caused this problem, but in all cases the user interaction is required to resolve it.

Most frequent cause is a malfunctioning or slow proxy or a proxy that doesn’t support HTTP POST. Also proxies that require non-bot verification (CoDeeN) are to blame.

Whenever you get this error, try to restart the account first. The site might have been overloaded or there might have been temporary routing problem. If it fails again, check the site manually looking for any – even very small – change in the script (yes, terminated hosting account may be the reason). Another option is to change the browser preset in your account, there are sites (bux.to) that block any connection attempt they find suspicious (they love to block you even for few hours after the last attempt). In the case of slow site, you may try to set higher timeout in settings.

After you tried everything described here and even more and it still doesn’t work, contact the developer of the plugin with very detailed description of the problem like if it happens irregulary or not, at which stage it happens (login/stats/adverts/…), your settings, …

Connection error

• Stops account according to settings (not necessarily)

Not that common as Modified script error but if occures, it can be even more annoying.

Connection error doesn’t stop the account immediately. Instead, it waits some time and then tries to reconnect. The account is stopped only if number of connection attempts reached the limit (user-defined).

This error usually happens when there was a problem in the MC(2) -site communication – timeout, unknown protocol, malformed HTTP data etc. In very rare cases, when the problem is not serious enough to trigger Plugin error, it may be caused by the plugin itself and developer has to be contacted.

And in very ofter cases, the famous spyware4me is to blame because he screwed something up.

Plugin error

• Stops account immediately

… means that either plugin developer or spyware4me doesn’t like you. Who when:

• Only several plugins don’t work => developers
• No plugin works => spyware4me

You can’t do anything to resolve this error except for contacting developer.

Bad login details error

• Stops account immediately

Means the username is wrong or password is wrong or username and password are wrong, if not, contact the developer and tell him (or her; one never knows) what you think of him/her.

Server error

• Stops account according to settings (not necessarily)

Very rare, occures only if page with no data or headers is obtained.

It-doesn’t-start error

• Multiclicker(2) can’t be started

Download Java Runtime Environment or get yourself a compatible computer, calculators and washing machines not supported.

If there are no problems with the compatibility layer of MC2, MC1 support will be terminated and all MC1 versions will report a new version available (v2.2.0 at this time).

Download Multiclicker2 here.

I’m pretty exhausted by writing the About page of Multiclicker2, so go there before you continue reading.

Multiclicker2 is a new multi-platform, multi-account and multi-PTC autoclicker written in Java.

Multiclicker2 is designed to be easily extended with more PTCs directly by users. It contains built-in Builder (SDK) with debugging support. Developer may choose to build PTC plugins (called simply “site” now) with Wizard, directly in source-code or even using both techniques.

Yeah, it’s out and ready to kick some wealthy asses (virtually) but don’t celebrate yet. Although Multiclicker2 is a really good piece of software (in compare with Multiclicker (1)), it still misses something – PTC plugins (now called just “sites”). I want to hereby ask anyone that created even single plugin for old Multiclicker to build sites for the new Multiclicker2 and upload them to Multiclicker2 Extend site. The extend site is still under development, several things may not work.

I’ve also set up simple Wiki at wiki.multiclicker2.org which will server as some kind of fast FAQ and support instead of using forum for everything. Feel free to register and make it better yourselves (it’s like Wikipedia).

Just one more thing: the old Multiclicker shows a new version now but I’ll leave this only for several days to make people – you – aware of Multiclicker2 and then set it back.

Multiclicker2 for the win!

No data was lost and all Plugins should still be available.
