Configuring the bot:
* Set windows display to 16 bit video mode and at least 1024*768 resolution. The bot will not work at a lower resolution or at 32bit video. To do this Go to the control panel/display and configure your screen settings from the 'settings' tab of the display properties menu.
* Video properties for Diablo2 must be set to Direct Draw. To do this simply run the "Diablo 2 video test" again and force it to "Direct Draw" and NOT "Direct 3D" (located in your Diablo II install directory.)
* The Diablo 2 screen resolution in game must be set to 800 * 600 resolution. Set all ingame graphic options to their lowest setting to get maximum performance and best reliability out of the bot.
* Ensure to set up D2 videos options to remove graphical effects like rain. Basically the simpler the graphics, the better your botting result will be. All of these graphical options must be correct for MMbot to read your screen colors properly. If any graphic setting is incorrect, chances are you won't get very far without an error.
* Fill up the belt with only Rejuvenation or Full Rejuvenation Potion. For many good reasons, MMbot is not compatible with healing or mana potions, and there are no plans at this time to integrate these into the bot. A properly configured character and sequence should easily be able to handle botting with rejuves only.
* Your character must start in act5 when the bot is run. (Act5 WP, WP to frigid highlands, and Anya red TP to pindle's courtyard) For trav sequences its okay to start in act 4. There is currently no integrated feature to start in any other act.
* A full Tome of Town Portal is required in your inventory if your sequence uses town portals (most do.)
* Mercenary should be alive and default bot and most sequences require you to have a mercenary. A merc is always highly recommended.
* You should have a relatively powerful character for the area you are doing. Almost all sequences require teleport and it is highly recommended to use enigma if you aren't using a sorc. Walking scripts are few and they aren't nearly as reliable as a teleport script.
* Use as few charms as possible to maximize room for items you pick up, keep them all together and contiguous along the right side of your inventory.
* Have enough gold on hand to resurrect your mercenary.
* Don't have Identification book in your inventory
* Always be in "running mode". not "walking mode"
The following is a list of files that need to be configured properly according to the instructions detailed in the official MMbot manual, and in this guide. All config files are located in your mm.BOT\Config folder:
* mm.BOT.ini is the main config file for MMbot.
* mm.BOT.sequences.ini is where your character sequence script is located and configured from.
* mm.PKID.ini is your pickit & item configuration.
* mm.MULTIKEYS.ini is where mmbot is configured to run multiple Diablo II cdkeys.
mm.BOT.ini configuration:
mm.BOT.ini is the main config file for MMbot. It contains variables that are read and used by most of the internal MMbot functions. Descriptions of every mm.bot.ini variable are located in comments in that file, so i will only explain common problems and elaborate in this guide. Be sure to go through the entire file, reading every description carefully and setting all variables according to your specific needs.
