Q: How to specify mobs' names for attacking?
A: You must open file `conf/targets.au3` in text editor and specify mobs' names. This is enough to specify one or two letters of mobs' name for Gracia Final and upper chronicles. This is example:
global const $kTargetNames = "G,Wo"
The mobs' names must be specified fully for chronicles below Gracia Final. This is example:
global const $kTargetNames = "Gremlin,Wolf"
Note that value of the `$kTargetCount` variable must be the same as count of elements in the `$kTargetNames` list.
Q: How to run L2Bot?
A: This is the short instruction:
1. Download and install AutoIt interpreter:
http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads
2. Run your Lineage client in the window mode. You can press Alt+Enter for switching to the window mode.
3. Run the bot's script from the `run` directory.
4. Switch to the Lineage client window.
5. Press Alt+F2 to start bot.
6. You can stop bot by Alt+F1 pressing.
You can find more detailed instructions in the README file:
https://github.com/ellysh/l2bot/blob/master/README.txt
Q: Why the L2Bot scripts need the administrator's privileges in Windows Vista and Windows 7?
A: This is a Windows security policy. It is forbidden to send messages from one application to another one without administrator's privileges. L2Bot need to do this for keyboard pressing simulation.
Q: Where is exe file to launch bots?
A: Such file is missing. You must launch scripts' files with `au3` extension in the `run` directory. The Autoit interpreter is needed to launch same scripts:
http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads
Q: How to decrease timeout for attacking and moving to target?
A: You can set timeout value in the `$kAttackTimeout` variable in the running bot's script file in the `run` directory. This is example:
global const $kAttackTimeout = 20
Similary to `$kAttackTimeout`, you can set timeout for moving to target in the `kMoveTimeout` variable. This is example:
global const $kMoveTimeout = 40
Q: How to configure bot according to my Lineage client's interface?
A: There are steps to perform the interface configuration:
1. Run your Lineage client in the window mode. You can press Alt+Enter for switching to the window mode.
2. Resize the Lineage client window to full screen with mouse.
3. Get into the game with your character.
4. Run `configurator_en.au3` script from the `run` directory.
5. Switch to the Lineage client window.
6. Press Alt+F2 to start configuration script.
7. Select the point in the Lineage window according the information in popup tip. You can select point at the current cursor's position by pressing Alt+F3.
8. The popup tips will be disappeared after you has selected the last point. Configuration is complete.
This is illustration of all configuration points:
https://vk.com/photo-46888950_305559943
You can use the `configurator_fishing_en.au3` script from the `run` directory to configure fishing bot. This script works like the described above `configurator_en.au3` one.
Q: How to enable/disable log file output?
A: You must open the `source/debug.au3` file and remove `;` symbol before `FileWrite` function call to enable log file output. The file will be looked like this:
global $kLogFile = "debug.log"
func LogWrite($data)
FileWrite($kLogFile, $data & chr(10))
endfunc
You must add `;` symbol before the `FileWrite` function call to disable log file output.
Run the bot's script after this patching. You will find the `debug.log` file with logs in the `run` directory.
Q: How to disable picking the drop for accelerating switching to the next target?
A: You can open bot's script in `run` directory and cleanup content of the OnAllKill() function.
This is typical OnAllKill() function:
func OnAllKill()
PickDrop(5)
endfunc
This the function after cleaning the content:
func OnAllKill()
endfunc
You can also reduce count of items to pickup:
func OnAllKill()
PickDrop(2)
endfunc
Q: How to enable or disable the "rest" function of bot?
A: The kIsRestEnable variable in runnable bot's script defines enabling or disabling "rest" function state. You can change value of the variable to true for enabling "rest" function:
global const $kIsRestEnable = true
The false value will disable "rest" function:
global const $kIsRestEnable = false
Q: How to use custom script mechanism?
A: The custom script mechanism allow you to extend the functionality of existing farm bots.
There are steps to perform the custom script generation:
1. Run `script_generator.au3` file from the `run` directory.
2. Press Alt+F2 to start generator script.
3. Perform the keys pressing and mouse clicks that will be saved.
4. Press Alt+F1 to complete the generator script
NB:
The generator script is able to save letters, numbers, F1-F12 buttons
and left button mouse clicks. The buttons Alt, Ctrl, Shift and Win will
not be saved.
The generated custom script has been saved in the `script.au3` file in the `run` directory.
There are steps to launch custom script:
1. Run `script_run.au3` file from the `run` directory.
2. Press Alt+F2 to start custom script.
3. You can interrupt the custom script's work by Alt+F1 pressing
NB: You can launch custom script in the loop. Change the `kIsLoop` variable to `true` in the `script_run.au3` file:
global const $kIsLoop = true
All
farm bots will launch custom script by timeout. You can change timeout
value with the second variable of the `kTimeouts` array in the running
farm bot script.
Q: How to launch L2Bot in multi-window mode?
A: L2Bot can control several Lineage 2 windows.
These are steps to do it:
1. Download Repeater script:
https://github.com/ellysh/repeater/archive/master.zip
2. Configure Repeater script according README.txt file.
3. Run L2Bot script from `run` directory.
4. Run Repeater script.
Now all keystrokes that are generated by L2Bot will be send to all Lineage 2 windows.
Q: How to use Repeater script?
A: Repeater
script allow you to send pressed keys for all Lineage 2 windows. You can
manually control several characters in different windows.
This is link to download Repeater script:
https://github.com/ellysh/repeater/archive/master.zip
This is link to AutoHotkey program for launching the repeater script:
http://l.autohotkey.net/AutoHotkey_L_Install.exe
This is manual to configure and run it:
https://github.com/ellysh/repeater/blob/master/README.txt
Q: Does it work for on Innova Official L2?
A: Yes, it works. You need an additional InpOut32 library for keyboard driver to avoid the server protection.
This is a manual for setup L2Bot with InpOut32 library:
1. Copy files `input_driver.au3` and `InpOut.au3` from the `tools/InpOut32` directory to the `source` one.
2. Copy file `inpout32.dll` from the `tools/InpOut32/Win32` directory to the `source` one.
3. Launch file `InstallDriver.exe` from the `tools/InpOut32/Win32` directory and perform the driver installation.
4. Open the `source/functions.au3` file in text editor and change the 2nd line from this:
#include "input.au3"
To this one:
#include "input_driver.au3"
Launch L2Bot according the instruction.
Q: How to enable mechanism for searching targets by macros?
A: This is an instruction:
1. Set `kIsMacroSearch` variable to `true` value in the farm bot's script from the `run` directory:
global const $kIsMacroSearch = true
2. Create macros with the `/target` command and place its to the hotbar panel.
3. Write hot keys with `/target` macros to `kTargetNames` array in the `conf/targets.au3` file.
This is example for the three hotkeys 1, 2 and F3:
global const $kTargetNames = "1,2,{F3}"
Now bot will be search targets by pressing 1, 2 and F3 hotkeys.
Q: The AutoIt scripts doesn't run.
A: You can select version of AutoiIt interpreter in the installation wizard dialog. Select 32 bit version for your 32 bit Windows or 64 bit version otherwise.
Q: How to check correctness of the AutoIt interpreter installation?
A: You can check is AutoIt have been installed correctly if L2Bot doesn't work. Run any script (for example calculator.au3) from the AutoIt installation directory (by default C:/Program Files/AutoIt3/Examples). The AutoIt have been installed correctly if you see the calculator window after that.
Q: The keystrokes Alt+F1, Alt+F2 and Alt+F3 are handled by another application.
A: You can assign another keys for controlling the bot. This is instruction to assign keystrokes Alt+F5, Alt+F6 and Alt+F7 instead of Alt+F1, Alt+F2 and Alt+F3:
1. Open the `source/hooks.au3` file in text editor and change 2nd and 3rd lines to these:
HotKeySet("!{F5}", "_Exit")
HotKeySet("!{F6}", "_GrabWindow")
2. Open the `source/configurator.au3` file in text editor and change 13th line to this:
HotKeySet("!{F7}", "_GetCursorPos")
Now bot will start on Alt+F6 keystroke. The Alt+F7 keystroke allow you to select point in the configurator scripts. The Alt+F5 keystroke allow you to interrupt any L2Bot script.
