Q: What are Behaviors?
A: Behaviors are combat rules so the bot knows how to fight, there are different for each char...warr/pala/dk..etc...and each specc fury/retry/etc...The behaviors must be put in the Behaviors folder inside LB folder, then you go to combat settings in the bot, and choose the one for your char class/spec. If the folder does not exist, make it, name it exactly: Behaviors
After this, open the bot, click combat settings and from the drop-down menu up where is says: select behavior....select your class behavior
Q: What are Profiles?
A: Profile is the path that tells the bot where to go and who to kill. you can save these anywhere on your comp, then load them from profile settings/load a profile..
There are 2 kind of profiles....1 for each engine....
fly gathering profile ..wich is 1 file...name.xml....
grinding profile...wich is made of 2 files...name.xml and name.path.xml
Q: Shall i use Mouse Hook or Memory Writing?
A: Never use Mouse Hook. As for Memory Writing:
If you don't use MW:
upside: blizzard scans your comp it won't detect the bot.
downside: it will steal your mouse so you can't do something else at the comp (atleast in flying mode, in grinding mode only when it dies)
If you use MW:
upside: you can use your comp while botting, bot will not bother you, just put it in background, small wow window, don't minimize wow or the bot
downside: if you get reported and blizz scans you, it will "probably" find the bot attached to wow.exe (don't ask me the probability % cause idk)
Q: So now i got the bot, how do i configure it?
A: Ok, after u get the bot, attach it and you see the main window, you should do the following, step by step:
1. General Settings:
- General tab: Disable mouse hook, See the above question about memory writing to decide if you wanna tick that option, Leave Latency to 0ms unless you have a bad internet connection
- Limits tab: If your bot char is not very well geared and needs to eat after combat, set the values here for eat&mana and the bar/keys for food will be set in the keys tab. If you have a non-mana char, dk, warr, etc untick "Drink at" or the bot will consider rune power, rage as the mana pool and eat accordingly. I strongly suggest to tick "Play sound on follow" and untick "Logout on follow" with value 0 = that way the bot will make a beep whenever another player (no matter the faction) will be in your botting zone, this is good for remote areas, which are recommended for botting, so you can take over and act "not so bottish" in front of another player so he does not report you. If you will be afk, i recommend you tick "Logout on follow" 0mins ...or 1 min for flying - that is what i use. Ofc also tick "Play sound on whisper" so you can reply to whispers, it's always good to answer when u can, and "Play sound on stop" so you can be alerted if the bot stops because it's dead and cannot ress, or in a cave or worse, it's stop because it's stuck.
- Keys tab: This is where you set your food bar/key, you can set it the same for food and drink if from your food you gain both effects. Mount bar/key - this is the ground mount bar - for grinding engine. Note: the mount set here will only be used if the profile you loaded was made using a ground mount vertices - you can see if that is the case by going to profile options - in the radar the dots(vertices) should be white. Be sure to set the key for ATTACK, and read it's tooltip, you must set it to a spell that when cast on yourself will give a red error message. VERY IMPORTANT: Set the keys from the right side of this window the same as in wow - keybinds - this is also shown in the manual of the bot.
- Vendor tab: If your profile (flying or grinding) has a path to a mailbox, you can tick here "To town when bags are full" and "Repair" and "Sell poor". I personally use "Scrap" addon, that auto-sells any grey item, and to which i can add any other item to it's sell-list, so when the bot opens the vendor window - the addon will immediately sell any grey item or those i added to it's sell list. You can also set the minimum free bag slots before the bot should go to town, but 1 is the most common used.
- Mail tab (Only flying engine): If you tick "Send mail" options, and add an alt name, when the bags are full, if the "To town when bags are full" is ticked, and if the profile has a mailbox path - then he will go to the mailbox and send all the items you previously added in this tab to your alt. So tick "Send mail", write carefully ur alt name, and add all the items you want to send, one by one, CASE SENSITIVE, for example: Ghost Iron Ore (not ghost iron ore, ghost iron vein, Ghost iron ore, etc..). Macro for mail does not work, so don't tick it. Example Picture
- Relog tab: You can make the bot relog at a periodic interval, only use it at night, but be careful, sometimes if the realm is down, the bot will try to log on and on again, fact which will flag you - and that is not good.
- Items tab: Here you can set items that the bot will open when the bags are full, before he goes to vendor. You can add here items like: Sealed Crate , Plump Intestines , Plundered Treasure , etc...also Case Sensitive so write the name exactly as ingame.
- Plugins tab: Any plugin you have you will find it in the lazybot folder - Plugins folder. I think Fishing plugin (standing still fishing) still works, and maybe Tundra mammoth one, but i'm not sure. If you tick a plugin, after you click on save, it will appear on the main window, under Debug button. The Profile Wizard plugin will help you download Behaviors, so you can tick it, open it's options and download the behavior you need.
2. Depending on what you want to do with the bot, you have 4 options(engines) to choose from: Fly gathering, Grinding, Farming (this is for your farm @Halfhill, the bot will take care of it) or Fishing (for which you need a plugin, see above at the plugins section, middle of this post).
3. Engine Options:
- Flying engine options: Set you normal mount or alternate mount (alt mount is usually for druids, since they cannot get out of the water with their flight form, after 4 tries of getting out, the bot will mount the alt mount set here and get out of water). Other player can set both bar/keys the same. Tick "Wait for loot" if you see the bot does not have time to auto-loot what it gathers. Tick "Auto-blacklist" so the bot adds to the profile he uses the nodes that made him stuck, get into water, get into combat..so when he passes next time over those it will ignore them. Use "Max units at node" = 0 , if you don't want to fight for whatever reasons - undergeared char, you want to maximize the gathering time, bad behaviour ..etc.. Important: untick "Fish at school of fish" unless you are doing that. You can also set the bot to "Send key on combat" if you wanna activate a trinket or something. Example Picture
- Grinding engine options: Untick "Loot" for example at low lvls, where loot is crappy, so you can minimize the time lost while looting = faster leveling. "Wait for loot" option is the same as for the flying engine, the bot will wait for all loot, if the mob/s has a lot of loot, it will not move until it has looted all of it. "Train" option does not work, so don't tick it. Ofc tick "Skin" If you are grinding beasts and have skinning. Now for the Limits section, this is quite interesting..i will explain abit i hope you can understand what i am trying to say: so, this is for areas with obstacles and i will give an example so it's clear: botting char is warrior and he has a pull range set at 25yards - pull spell: Charge.. if the area has walls, stairs, trees, other environment obstacles, he will not be able to pull the mob so modify the "Approach Range" and "Distance" to 10 yards let's say, that way the bot will pull from that distance thus getting around those obstacles. "Protracted mode" is for fighting with elites, cause the bot has a built-in safety measure for evading mobs - if you don't dmg the mob for 20% of it's hp in 20 seconds, it will ignore that mob and move on to the next. Tick "Use mount" if your profile was made with "ground mount" vertices and if the distance between mobs is very large. If the mobs are close to each other i do not reccomend u mount between them (looks bottish).
4. Profile settings
- Flying profile: Here you can record, save or load a flying profile. I won't get much into it, you have a link above explaining how to make a flying profile. You can also Record "to town waypoints" to any profile you load, whether you made it or not. Important: You can easily recognize a flying profile because it is composed of only 1 file like .. "vot4w gathering large.xml" ... while the grinding profiles are composed from 2 files ... "vot4w grind.xml" ...and... "vot4w grind.path.xml"
- Grinding profiles: I explained above in detail how to make a grinding profile.
5. Combat settings: Here you will choose you behavior. You must have one, so take the time to find one for your class/specc. I covered above what are behaviors and how to add them to the bot.
6. Debug tab is not for us, leave it alone.
7. Open radar - only for Flying Engine - you can see if anyone is following you or you can manually blacklist nodes by Left clicking on them.
8. Rotation does not work.
That is about it, you can start the bot now, tick "log debug" for a few mins to see if the bot does what it should.Another guide for LazyBot, altough it is for an outdated version, maybe some1 will find something usefull by reading it
