Frequently Asked Questions

Can you add an reconnect - function?

A reconnect function will NOT be added, hence it could get you banned and then yall would blame choco for it.
STOP ASKING THIS NOW.

Why is everybody attacking me in town/tg etc?

This is because you have the funoption "Nobody Likes me ON", to turn it off.
Start COtobo, go to misc page and under "Fun", unmark the box named "Nobody Likes me"


What does "cannot inject .dll" mean?

The cotobo.dll is incompatible with your ws2_32.dll file, currently there is no fix for that.

Can you make so that +1s are shown as giftbags aswell?

No, this can't be done. +1 items are determined after the item/items are picked up, hence it's not possible.

Im using old Alpha Client and my CO window name is CO2 Alpha, can you make it so I can use it on the Alpha client? Or is it possible to change windowname?

Nope, neither is possible.
Just download the normal client, uninstall alpha and install the normal.
And c'est voila (<-- spelling?), fixed :cool:



FAQ END HERE (for now ;-)

COTOBO GUIDE START HERE

Sup, this is probably my first "real" contribution to the site, even if it's a guide I hope it'll help some peeps out.
I wrote this actually to one member who asked about some basic stuff for COTobo, it ended up with an whole walktrough :bandit:

COtobo can be found here:

Starting COtobo:
I expect you know how to start it right?
Just click the COtoboldr.exe and if it asks to be pointed to your Conquer.exe in your Conquer 2.0 folder, do so.

Now, when you click cotoboldr.exe second time, your Conquer and cotobo will open.
First we see is the "Status" Window, Arrows and your Stamina is shown, and diffrent quick-keys to diffrent commands are shown. Not so much more than the server time.

The quick-commands are very useful to remember, so I'll go trough the ones that exist for now.

CTRL + R - repair
This repair will repair ALL equipments your wearing and you will need to have as much gold in your inventory as if you would repair all items one by one.
For the repair function to work you'll have too be near an NPC that normally could repair your stuff. So standing by the one in lab will not work, however any Blacksmith/armorer or Pharmacist will work.
The best part about this repair-function is that YOU NOT have to un-equip your gears for it to work, so it can be used anywhere without having the fear that someome will kill you and you'll drop any precious equipment.

CTRL + D - Dropping trash items
This function will be usefull for any hunter that is out hunting and whenever you'll get your inventory full of crap/trash items you can easily drop them by pressing "CTRL + D" in-game.
There are a few rules for what will and what will not be dropped, it will never drop ref/uni/eli/supers/mets/dbs or +1s.
However there are options in the COtobo, under "Itemdropper" (can read about it further down in this guide) you can set which of the normal items not to be dropped. So let say you want normal weapons with 2 sockets NOT to be kept in inventory, then you should have the box next to "Drop weapons which have 2 sockets" UNCHECKED.
Thats how it works, and ofcourse you'll have to check the box "Enable dropping normal items" checked so it would work.

CTRL + T - fast disconnect
When pressing CTRL + T in-game you will disconnect, so this can be used whenever someone higher level tries to pk you and you know you cant win, simply disconnect and wait for him to disappear.
Or just when you'll need to do it, no matter of reason it will come in handy.

Move to next window, the "P/M/I notifier".
Here, you can mark the boxes if you want the cotobo do warn you when black/red or bluename players enter your screen.
The other option underneath it, which says "Disconnect on player names" is a great function for miners.
If you got a miner, and dont want him killed if someone attacks you, simply mark the boxes "Black, red and blue" and you'll disconnect whenever someone tries to attack or, or are miner pkers. Marking the box "All" will d/c whenever a char enters your screen, whitenamed or blacknamed doesnt matter, it d/c's on all.

another option for d/c on all, posted by Rorrim, thanks.

Heres what ive found out. Say you wanna mine with your chars and have dc on all, or a "safe" person is mining beside you. when u log have disconnect on all UN checked then check it once the person(s) are on your screen. either one of you can move around and not dc but if anyone else comes by you will dc. Blame it on a bad connection
Now we have the option "Notify on Monsters".
This option is very good if your hunting ganoderma/titan and need those extra exppotions which makes you get exp faster for 20 minutes.
Then we have the 2 boxes which when marked, will notify if a dragonball or meteor is dropped nearby you. Those 2 should always be marked.

Moving onto next window "Miner".
Here are all the miner options colleted, like ore-dropping and gem disconnector. This page is pretty self-explaining, you have the ore-dropper and the ore-disconnector.
Click the "Enable Ore Dropper" box and your char will drop the useless ores.
Then you can decide which ores should be dropped and not, if you want to keep goldores, you unmark the "Gold" box.
Then you can change the rate of the ores that get dropped, like if you want to drop all goldores under rate 4, but keep 5 and up you put number next to gold on 5.
"Enable Gem Disconnector"
This will make you disconnect whenever you get an gem, which is really usefull.
Unmark the gems you dont want to d/c at, like if you want a super violetgem but get a normal violet and dont want to d/c on it, simply unmark the box next to "Normal VioletGem"

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Next window, "Itemdropper"
You can use the itemdropper by prseeing CTRL + D ingame, it will start to drop all normal things, and those that you have marked on the "Itemdropper" page.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Last page, "Misc".
Here you have some pretty neat effect removal options, mark the effects you dont want to be shown and you wont see them :cool:
Then we have the option to be able too see if its ref/uni/eli or super item on the floor by marking the options, "Show items as Giftbags". You'll catch them easyer that way.
"Autuequip arrows" is good if you'r an archer who is out hunting, so you wont have to keep equiping arrows when you run out of them, COtobo will do it for you.

The 2 "fun" options are just jibberish and is not needed to be used i, if you dont want to have "fun".
EDIT: Might aswell go thorugh the "Fun" Options.

"Nobody likes me" will make it look like everyone is attacking you, leading to nobody likes you.
However this is only clientsided and it only looks like it, actually your not getting hit.

"Gem's plant"
Mark it and whenever you drop an stancher, you will see a random gem instead of the stancher.
Once again, this is clientsided, so your not actually getting a gem. (lol)

yeah i had to learn the hard way XD nice work.

Heres what ive found out. Say you wanna mine with your chars and have dc on all, or a "safe" person is mining beside you. when u log have disconnect on all UN checked then check it once the person(s) are on your screen. either one of you can move around and not dc but if anyone else comes by you will dc. Blame it on a bad connection ;)

(unlike my autostigger idea this is a proven fact and helps reduce the chance of getting banned)
