Hey, my first post just surfing the web looking for a new pickit for the mmbot and came across this site. First I think this bot is GREAT I have used it for about 3 months with little or no problems the initial setup was very confusing. But when I re-installed Diablo for my loader I had to re-download the bot and if you do it right you can have the bot setup in about 5 mins. Very easy.
Ill list some of the main things that gave me trouble while I initially started the bot.

First downloading: Create a “zipped” folder on ur desktop and save the mmbot into that folder first.

Extract to desktop. Installation is easy.

When you have the mmbot window open there will be several options on the bottom of the window.

Click: MMBOT MANUAL and it will bring you to a website where you put in all the info for the bot.

On the website on the right hand side there is a list of orange links, click on install/config.

You don’t really need to read anything written just do complete 3 things. MM.Bot.ini

First click MM.Bot.ini read the file, it will explain what each of the numbers does or what they are for above. Change where needed >>READ below useful info.<<

First, time between each game: Ive played with this a lot trying to find the quikest time between games without getting an ip ban, Or tagged. And what I have found is that you can run anywhere from 18-25 games an hour but you still might get a ban after a few hours. What I would do is set the bot up and let it run while I was sleeping or at work or school and let it run for about 8 hour. The bot is initially set to have like 5 seconds in-between games. THAT’S A BAD IDEA. When running about 20 games an hour you can still get a ban, what I found out is that if you get ip ban’s often, bnet will start making them longer and longer. My bans where maxing out at 12 hours at a time.

So I have 260,000(2mins,20seconds) (60000 milliseconds=1min) milliseconds between games. It can run for days have 1 or 2 failed to joins and never a ban. It will make up for it just for the extra time running while you would have been banned using 20 games per hour.

I have 8 mins rest time every 15 games.

I see it as I will do less runs but, never get a ban, bnet wont suspect me, and there is very little risk, I just don’t wana risk my key for a few more games per hour. NTY.

Most everything in the file you don’t have to change or is self explanatory.

What I have found the easiest thing to do is have 1 account with 1 lightsorc on it, mine uses full tals, 2.5k mana (ES) and about 500 mf. < it does the job. Then don’t use that sorc at all, only use for the bot. SETTUP YOUR HOTKEYS, POTIONS AND STUFF TO MATCH WHAT THE BOT ALREADY USES. < don’t try to change them I have and it only creates problems.

Second: mm.bot.sequences.ini: this is the trickiest one all I did was, like I said above, change your char to meet what the bot already has set. Try to change the script as little as possible. So change you es, light, chain light, bo, tele and all that happy stuff to the hotkeys the bot already has setup.

THIRD AND FINALLY: mm.pikid.ini: this one is e-a-s-y, you can leave it igsactly like it is but.( this is what tells the bot what to pick up and leave on the ground) the bot is initially set VERY strict and only picks up ELITE gear. ( I mean mine said that it would only need an hoz if it had a ed of over160. CMON) all you have to do to change this is add in >> STASH <<< inbetween the >> ( “ ) and ( “ )<< in witch it makes the requirements as to how good the item must be to keep.

That’s it I love this bot once it gets going I think its GREAT, I hope I helped some people and for the others that this made no sense or didn’t help at all im sorry.
What you could do for me though is if you find a new pickit list that isn’t as strict and has stipulations for socketed items and is just all around less strict e-mail it to me

[Dragnskull]

I've used mmbot for about a month now, and I've loved everything about it except one thing, i cant do anything else on my computer while it runs.

well, I've figured out how to get passed that.
i found a guide in the mmbot forums, but it didn't quite help, it gave me directions that didn't work, so i've decided to write a WORKING guide for how to do this.

NOTE: This is not a guide to setting up mmbot, only how to run it minimized.

what you need (Links will be included):


- A pc with 512 MB Ram
-mmbot
-diablo2 disks [all 4 disks]
-8 - 10gb free space
-the latest autoit (for the bot)
-Windows Instillation disk
-magicISO
-Virtual drive
-a few hours of free time (took me about 1-3 hours to get this figured out, can probably be done with this guide in 1-2 depending on computer and internet speed)


1. Download and install VMWare:

http://www.download.com/VMware-Works...ml?tag=lst-0-1
Note: A 30-day serial number is required to use the software. After installation, on the user interface go to Help > Enter Serial Number and click on "Get Serial Number"
*NOTE: if you don't want to use a 30day serial like me, use google and search for a vmworkstation key, they ARE out there [i cant provide it, breaks rules of this forum] and can easily be found, i found mine in about 4 minutes of searching

2. Setup the virtual machine

-run the program, click "New Virtual Machine"
-make sure "Typical" is chosen, click next
-choose which version of windows you want to install [i used windows XP Pro, works with student versions]
-choose whatever you want and click next
-mark "Make bridged networking" and click next
-select anywheres from 8-10gb and make sure it has "Allocate all disks space now" marked, click next
-you now have your virtual machine ready, its time to installl windows.

3. install and setup windows

-after step 2 you will be ready to install windows, but first we need to make sure it will actually read your disk.
on the toolbar of your virtualmachine window, near the very right is a button "Summary view" click it.
-click the "Edit virtual machine settings" under the 'Commands' section
-highlight the CD rom drive on the left, and on the right change it from "Autodetect" to what your cd drive is labeled on your real computer [for me, this was D:]
-click back on "Console view" on the toolbar
-insert your windows XP cd, if it doesn't load, restart your virtual machine using the Reset button on the toolbar
-you should now be able to install windows, do so, if you need information on how to do that, well, you shouldn't be using this guide.

Good job. now you have windows installed. adjust it for fastest performance however you like, get rid of all useless junk, remember, this is just being used for botting and is going to eat alot of CPU and RAM usage, lower it best you can, i even use classic windows mode, i didn't even update all the windows upgrades on mine.

now, time to get to the fun parts >.>

4. getting networked:

-use the network setup wizard on your virtual drive to set it up on your network

-share a new folder in your REAL computer on the network, so you can transfer files to your virtual network with it.

5. Getting diablo ready to install:

this isn't quite as easy as doing it on a real computer, but its not too hard.

-download and install MagicISO on your REAL computer
http://www.magiciso.com/

-download and install Virtual clone drive on your VIRTUAL computer
http://static.slysoft.com/SetupVirtualCloneDrive.exe

-pop in your Diablo2 Install disk into your D Drive, and inside your REAL computer, start > my computer > rightclick D: > MagicISO > Make Image file from D:"

-Save it inside the folder youv'e shared folder and change it to save as a ISO file, label it something like "D2Install" [anything to know which disk it is]
-do the same for the cinematics, play, and expansion disk, saving them all in the folder you shared on your REAL computer.

-go into your virtual windows, open the shared folder, copy/paste the 4 ISO files that you saved into a new folder on your VIRTUAL comps desktop [probably don't have to do this, but i did because i wanted to avoid anymore errors, was pissing me off]

-Mount the install disk in your VIRTUAL computers virtual drive, run it, install diablo, switching mounted ISO's as they are called for [very fast process honostly], Install diablo however you like/wherever you like

-after diablo is installed, connect to bnet and update the patch

6. Install mmbot
you can do one of two things, go to mmbot.net and do a fresh install or share the mmbot folder from your REAL computer and copy it through your VIRTUAL computer, pasting it wherever you want

setup mmbot accordingly, run and enjoy.

TIP: CTRL + ALT = lets you get out of the virtual drive desktop



now all you have to do is run the virtual computer, startup windows xp, run mmbot, and minimize the virtual computers window, your all done. enjoy
