right. turns out i havent done soa on this account that was used only with this script. it will not do SOA, is this something you could check? I tried on two different accounts both meeting the gui requirements of 15+ HP. one account has 40+, the other has 44. it simply will not do SOA.
in the meantime i will do SOA manually on one account doing black arm gang and then see if it will do heroes.
edit: doing SOA manually, after that it seems to be starting heroes quest. running to ge for items now. just seems the script *will not* do SOA, something to look into.
