F.A.Q
Q. WHAT THE HELL?? I CANT BELIEVE YOU POSTED 10 TIMES IN A ROW!! all that stuff you posted can be found in a stickied faq already!!
A. True there is a sticky that has the same info i posted (besides the bmitems tutorial).. but it is all scattered around, and i find that no one actually uses it.. the people that NEED help here, get too confused at the cluttered F.A.Q/Guide. This guide was intended to get you from being a complete d2jsp newb, to being able to bot -- or even multibot even if u have no idea what u're doing.
Q. Ok then why didnt u post it all in about 3 or 4 posts? stop double posting you newb! why do you care so much about post count??
A. What i did was post EACH STEP on a new post, so that EACH STEP would have its own URL... if u actually look through the guide there are places where it says "skip to step()" and the step number is inside of the ()'s with alink to that step, so if you cant manually scroll down and find that step, you can just click there. What i did is not considered double posting. because it had more of a purpose than to spam or up my post count..... Post count does not matter.. i DO NOT CARE about post count.
Q. i want to flame you about your guide, how can i do that?
A. you can keep your flames to yourself , i dont want to hear it, but if you must just PM me a flame rather than cluttering up my guide because you arent a complete newb and it doesnt neccesarily help you.
Q. I get script not found when my char(s) enter the game.. What’s my problem?
A. two problems, you didn’t configure your default.d2j right.. Either you didn’t spell the name correctly (remember it must be EXACT, MfSoRcYoNeA isn’t the same as mfsorcyonea) OR you didn’t specify the correct path…. The thing that says “bots/blahblah.d2j†make sure u have the correct bot name where it says “blahblah.d2jâ€
Q. Can you tell me how to build a sorc so I can beat pindle/meph?
A. yes, click
here
Q. what is the average run time for those builds?
A. 40 seconds for meph 18 seconds for pindle.
Q. are any of these files trojaned ?
A. No they are not
Q. How can I tell my bot what to pick up and what not to?
A. edit the snagit.ini Tutorial
here scroll down to the post by netxenur..
Q. How can I make my bot identify an item and choose to keep it or not?
A. edit the bmitems.ini Tutorial
here
Q. Are there any good ways to improve my run time?
A. yes, u may use faster r/w, as well as faster cast and lowering your game times (not recommended unless u test it)
Q. Why do you only have tutorials for Mephbot and Pindlebot?
A. because I’ve never used the others and I don’t want to give false information.. Will hopefully have them up soon though.
Q. How many bots can I run at once on my comp?
A. as many as your comp can handle.
Q. How many bots do you think my comp can handle?
A. I have no way of knowing that, test it, I run 3 at once.. My specs are pretty low (since my comp is 3 yrs old..) 256mb ram - 1.2 ghz amd athlon processor..
Q. Will i need more than one classic and one expansion cd key to run multiple bots?
A. you will need a seperate set of classic/expansion cd keys for each bot you wish to run simultaneously
Q. what is a good % mf ?, should i go for 1000+ ?
A. mf is overrated, a person with 500% mf has 253% chance to find a unique. while a person with 750% mf has 280% chance to find a unique. The difference is only 27%, in the long run higher + skills is more useful (by allowing you to do runs faster)
Q. Which is better? mephbot or pindlebot?
A. mephbot drops good items often, pindlebot drops the best items rarely.. its up to you which u want to use. they're both great targets.
Q. I used to run mephbot and found tons of stuff all the time, i'm running pindle now and finding almost nothing.. am i doing something wrong?
A. no you are not. pindle drops all the items in the game, however he drops much more rarely than meph does. so when you go from mephbotting to pindlebotting, expect a drastic drop in amount of items u find, and an increase in the quality of items you find.
Q. what is a lib file? why is it important?
A. a lib file is the file that you edit to tell the bot all kinds of things about your character, things like your skills.. chicken.. merc.. etc etc.
Q. i keep blackwalling like there's a lag spike.. how can i fix that?
A. there is a variable in your lib file that u can change, look for something that looks sorta like this : var WalkDelay=100; just raise that number and it should fix it.
Q. I have a merc and want to use it.. how can i make my bot use my merc?
A. in your lib file there's a variable that has something like "var usemerc=false" change that to true, and if you dont want to use your merc then change it to false.
