How should i properly bot?

[odom41]

I'm currently using RoMbot and i was worndering how should i properly use it?I'm not asking how i set it up,but i'm asking how should i use it properly and avoid detection?I'm using this to train my character and make some money by killing beetles.I read somewhere that i should make my RoMbot log off for like an hour or 2,but how do i make it do that?Any tips or tricks that will help me are greatly apreciated.

Thanks.

Just use common sense. That is, don't bot in the same place all day every day, keep an eye on your character instead of leaving it on while you're sleeping, etc.

Set LOGOUT_TIME in your profile to 120 to auto logout in 2 hours.

Get rid of this line:

Code: Select all

<option name="RETURNPATH" value="bandits_return.xml" />

And change your WAYPOINT_DEVIATION to 50 to 100. 500 is way too big, and you're likely to get stuck on random trees or rocks. Other than that, it looks good. You can get rid of the ENERGY_STORAGE_1 and ENERGY_STORAGE_2, but it's not necessary.

Code: Select all

    <hotkeys>
        <hotkey name="HP_POTION" key="VK_MINUS" />
        <hotkey name="MP_POTION" key="VK_EQUAL" />
        <hotkey name="ATTACK" key="VK_0" />
        <hotkey name="RES_MACRO" key="VK_0" />
...

Attack key must be different from RES_MACRO. You need to set up standard attack key, because that 'Attack' is also the command to loot a death corpse.

i didn't change the WANDER_RADIUS because i haven't had a problem with it yet so if i do i'll change it like you said.

Ok i made the changes you said,but now how can i make my script log me back into the game and start it again?Those last two commands seem to log me out lol.(note i haven't gotten to try out those 2 rest commands)
Thanks :p

This can't be done. Once you're logged out, you need to manually log back in to continue. The point of it is so that you can leave it botting while you run out to the store or go to sleep and it will not continue for hours on end.

Also, I suggest that you set your regenerate skills to have the highest priority. Try this:

Code: Select all

<skill name="PRIEST_REGENERATE" level="11" hotkey="VK_3" priority="110" hpper="90" />
<skill name="PRIEST_URGENT_HEAL" level="11" hotkey="VK_4" priority="120" hpper="65" />

It will keep regenerate on you whenever you have less than 90% HP and regen is ready to use. If you begin taking a lot of damage, it will then use urgent heal when you dip below 65%.

Ok i see what you mean and thanks for all your help,but if you don't mind helping a newbie,would u happen to know of a thread where it has a good guide to using RoMbot?
