It could be that your holding ALT while running the game, or maybe you have made a mistake somewhere in the config's. try deleting everything and starting over.

i dont hold alt when playing the games ... just not a key that i use
and the only thing i have changed in the config was the macro vk_0 thing that is posted above in the code ...

The message you see are not comming from the profile you are posting. Update to the current SVN version. Then try to start the bot with
or copy the profile 'default.xml' according to your charactername. If you charname is 'Hugo' copy it to 'hugo.xml' and start the bot with

How do you start the bot? What's the name of your profile? Im wondering about first profile ' ' message in your screenshot? Do you have some special char name? (You could PM me your charactername/profilename if there is something special with that).
The message you are posting is not resultion from the profile you are using. Because in that profile you allready have defined the MACRO hotkey. So I suppose there is a mismatch while starting the bot.

I start it with rom/bot.lua path:(my paths name) i have tried the profile: (my profile name) but get the same thing .... my names have nothing special with them just normal names and normal letters

Them start the bot with
And because you have a path in your profile, that path should be used. If you delete the path in your profile or start the bot with
Code: Select all
rom/bot.lua profile:charname path:
it should show you a list of available path to choose from.

i figured out why it was never working for me....
everytime i saved rom bot config when i was changing options around in it ... it would delete my <hotkey name="MACRO" key="VK_0" /> for some weird reason.
so at least for me everytime i change something i have to go back in and add <hotkey name="MACRO" key="VK_0" /> to the profile
is there anyway to get around this? or is it just me having to do this? or what ....

No that's only you!
Are you running the bot perhaps directly from the zip archiv? Or is for some reason your file write protected? That's nothing caused by the bot. It's something with your desktop environment.

no i just checked my files are not write protected. this is something new because it worked fine before i took the break from the game. not sure what has changed since then.
not running the rom bot config from the zip it is fully extracted to its own folder. which has not been touched since i took a break from the game when it was working fine

ok. Now I understand. Please don't use the RoM Bot Configurator. That program is outdated and not up to date.

oh ok ... well that makes sense
soooo new question ...
if i want to change the path i am running and all that i need to do it in the character profile instead of rom bot config? .... right?
or would rom/bot.lua path:(pathname) be all i need?

Both way are possible. Just write
Code: Select all
<option name="WAYPOINTS" value="" /> <!-- leave empty to show a list -->
in your profile or startr the bot with a forced path:
