Bot setup
Loading screen
When starting VLDBot, you'll first see the Initializer. Its goal is to initialize everything needed for the application to run.
If you read the error and have no clue what that means, please check the installation issues section of the common-errors to see if your issue is there. If not, you can ask for help or create a ticket to report your problem on the Discord server (don't forget to specify the error)!
Bot settings
Once every loading operation has succeeded, well done, the bot should be usable! A first good thing to do is to head to the settings and check how you can configure the general execution of the bot.
In the settings you will be able to configure various tools of the bot. You'll find options to configure:
- The general settings:
- The language of the bot
- The bot's behaviour when it finds an archmonster
- The bot's behaviour when depositing items in the bank
- The bot's behaviour when missing healing items
- A parameter making the bot fight for you when you start a fight outside of scripts
- Different delays:
- The delay on map change
- The delay on fight start
- The delay between following character actions
- The delay to pass turn for following characters
- The delay on casting spells
- The activation of notification sounds
- The display of different overlays
- Debugging tools
Character settings
The second thing to do is to configure your characters in the characters tab. Your characters will appear there as soon as you connect them in to the game while the bot is running.
To configure the settings of a specific character, first, click on the character's name in the list on the left of the application.
Then, you will be able to set different settings for your character:
- Possessed transporter
- Harverstable set
- Return to bank threshold
Your character's parameters are not part of your character's set. More info on the character sets in the characters tab documentation.
We're almost there, let's now head to the setup of your game client!
