    Scorpyn's Scanner: v3.2 (Retry Auto-reserve)

    Implemented Lutzno's suggestion for retrying auto-resreve incase 10 minutes timeout elapses. The application will now try to autoresreve the seats repeatedly until the tickets become unavailable or the user completes the buying process.

    If you have already downloaded v3.1, you can get the scanner.exe from the new package and replace the old one that you have. This way you can maintain your settings in matches.xml and scanner.exe.config file.

    v3.2:

    Lutzno, thanks for a useful suggestion.

    I might as well make my first post here!

    I was awoken from the worst hangover I've ever had by that damn noise from my laptop...was delighted to see that the Cape Town semi-final tickets were available!

    Thank you so much Scorpyn - legend!

    Let's hope that the final tickets become available soon...

    Thanks Lutzno, can't wait to be there myself! I guess it's a bit risky to wait for cat 3/4 but by the looks of it, I am pretty sure they will become available. Good luck!

    zdog, glad to have helped! I hope you have a wonderful time there.

    Roberto, I am glad you got the tickets you wanted. I find the damn sound annoying as well specially since I have been testing the application a lot and had to listen to it SO many times! But it served the purpose. Woke me up at 3 am last night when semis became available. Although I didnt need those tickets, I was scanning them just so I could alert everyone on the forum. The fact that the scanner can get the availability a few minutes before the tickets actually become available on fifa site is the most satisfying feature I implemented in this application. And of course, listening to you guys getting the required tickets makes it worthwhile.

    TheBigKuba, although the current release doesn't allow scanning for 64, I assure you I will post on the forum right away when I see those tickets in the scanner.



    I have enjoyed this project a lot! I will definitely do this for Brazil 2014 as well.

    Excuse my ignorance Scorpyn but I'm old ;-)

    Which bits do I change? Is it just the VALUE?

    <add key="EmailAddress" value="email@email.com" />

    <!--Fifa username and password.-->
    <add key="FifaUsername" value="loginEmail@email.com" />
    <add key="FifaPassword" value="fifaPassword" />

    Yeah, just the Values. So if my fifa login was scorpyn@hotmail.com, I would change it to:

    <add key="FifaUsername" value="scorpyn@hotmail.com" />

    and so on.

    Thanks Scorpyn. Very impressive. Got it working. Is there a reason Match 64 isn't included?]

    Sorry just read above and noticed you mentioned this.

    v3.3 - Match 64 scanning!

    Here it is as promised. This version has the following additions:

    • Match 64 can be scanned.
    • Minimum frequency to scan is 5 seconds.
    • Support for different language pages on FIFA site. FIFA released tickets at different times in 2006 so this feature will allow you to scan different language versions of the ticketing site.
    Please put your username/password etc in the scanner.exe.config file again since this one comes with default settings.

    Enjoy!

    Some clarifications and suggestions:

    • If you are scanning multiple games and at a time more than one game becomes available, the scanner will just reserve the tickets for first game in the list and stop. The sequence of the matches in the list matters so make sure you add more important matches/categories first.
    • If you want to reserve tickets for multiple games, the best thing to do is run multiple copies of the scanner. You can do this by either running the scanner.exe multiple times, or by copying the whole directory and running scanner.exe in each directory. FIFA allows multiple sessions for the same account so even if you have just one fifa account, you can use the same account in multiple copies of the scanner.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.

    Are you using a proxy? Check your internet explorer settings. Other than that, download and install the service pack for .net 3.5 from:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en

    Lemme know if this fixes the issue.

    "Unable to login" usually happens when there is an issue with your username and password. Are you sure you have put the value in the right place? It should be something like:

    <!--Fifa username and password.-->
    <add key="FifaUsername" value="yourUserName@something.com" />
    <add key="FifaPassword" value="yourPassword" />

    Thanks Scorp, appreciate your help. I'm sure the values are correct. No Proxy.

    I didn't choose a browser tho, it just automatically opened up. Maybe it was Firefox...i will check, but it didn't give me any option, just opened??

    Maybe i will try a different pc and see if that helps

    What automatically opened? I didn't get that. Btw, are you able to login to fifa site and go to the ticket availability page in internet explorer?

    I mean the software opened automatically when I double clicked on the .exe file and started running (apparently fine).

    I was in Firefox at the time, so maybe that's a problem

    I can get to the fifa site fine in any browser

    Still not sure what you are talking about. Are you talking about .net framework service pack or the scanner application? I suggested that you install .net framework 3.5 service pack 1 first and then run the scanner. So I am not sure what is this software that automatically opens cuz of firefox?
