BotStarter - Tool to keep bots running :)

[PassionSTAR]

Hello Community!

there are so many different bots out there yet and some of them are absolutely awesome, beside the fact of some random crashes after x hours.
People let their computers powered on overnight only to bot and when they wake up in the morning to see the bot is crashed early on, the disappointnes is real

So I started a small project called BotStarter.
The tool works as easy as it sounds:
In the configuration file BotStarter.ini you can add multiple line of full qualified paths. Example content:

D:\Tools\Name of Your Bot 1\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console.exe
D:\Tools\Name of Your Bot 2\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console.exe

As you can see even spaces doesn't matter, it just needs to be a full qualified path inclusive extension.

The tool will not only start all bots/applications configured, it will take care about them to run. If one of the applications gets closed/crashes - it will restarted immediately!
This way you can go sleep like a baby and your bot keeps running

Important information about the closing!
There are two options to close this application:
1) You want to close all bots/applications started? Just press Enter into the command prompt
2) You want to keep all bots/applications started? Just hit the X and close the window

This is 100% my own work and counts as free software. Feel free to use and recommend it to people having problems keeping their bots alive!

Happy Botting

ReleaseNotes 1.1:
Added BotStarterSettings.ini with some settings:
CheckDelayInSeconds=5
Description: Seconds between the checks if bots still alive will happen
StartAppsMinimized=false
Description: Can be set to true to start bots always minimized
AutoRestartInMinutes=0 -
Description: Autorestart bots after X minutes
AutoSendEnterKey=false
Description: Automatically sends constantly ENTER key to bots. This will result it error messages, BUT should have no impact on the bots runtime. It will failover bots which prompting for enter at start or before end. It's just a try to avoid changes in the bots itself (which would be the correct way because an application which is supposed to run unattended should never prompt for a key!)

Applications in BotStarter.ini are now handled a bit better. It checks if the path is correct and bring now errors if not!

ReleaseNotes 1.2:
Added support for command line arguments for bots like PokeSniper!
Important that you add the arguments in BotStarter.ini and not try to add a batch file itself.
Example:
D:\Bots\PokeSniper2 v1\PokeSniper2.exe -autosniping

ReleaseNotes 1.3:
(RE-)Added support for .bat files
Important: Please note that it extremely depends on the content of the batch file for the monitor to work. If the .bat starts applications with "start ....", which means
it gets started asynchron, the monitoring feature just doesn't work and it will result in an endless loop! Please be aware of this.
Example:
D:\Bots\PokeSniper2 v1\autosniper.bat

ReleaseNotes 1.4:
Added setting in BotStartSettings.ini:
DelayBetweenStartupsInSeconds=0 -> Seconds between the startups

Please post your INI file. I bet you have a wrong path OR missing extension

[badinstincts]

ohh, I didn't realize I could compile it into an exe and run the bot that way. I've been opening visual studio all the time, lol...

[madness90]

added my file paths and nothing happens?

[LeHugeDeuce]

This is awesome!!! /thanked

[PassionSTAR]

added my file paths and nothing happens?

Please post your content of the file for help. Just to be clear, first configure the file - then start the application.

So Ive configured the ini then start the exe then should I leave the window active? or I can press X and go on with my life?

Yes you need to leave the window active, otherwise you close the application and the main feature (watching for your bot and restart if crashed) wont work
If you just close it, the bots keep running like you started them manually

// C:\Users\madne\Desktop\Main!\Pokemon-Go-Rocket-API-master\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console\bin\Debug\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console.exe

it looks like that

[PassionSTAR]

// C:\Users\madne\Desktop\Main!\Pokemon-Go-Rocket-API-master\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console\bin\Debug\PokemonGo.RocketAPI.Console.exe

it looks like that

Just to make that clear before i start creating a crazy long path like that Did you add the "//" only to post it here or does your path start with // ?
If so, please remove it - just plain path per line. "//" is for comments and line will be ignored
