Instructions
Before you begin, it is important to make sure all current Silkroad clients are closed. Hit "ctrl + alt + delete" to bring up the task manager. Search the process list for any "sro_client.exe" and terminate them if they exist. Next, it is important to make sure you make sure you do not need to update your client. Run silkroad.exe to make sure there are no patches.
The last and most important thing left to do is delete all your old Softmod files. Remove any of the following if you still have them: "sro_122.ini" , "loader.ini", "x33.exe", "loader.exe", "x33.dll" and your "x33" Folder. If you do not, you will run into problems launching the game. There have been many confirmed posts that if you have old files present, Softmod will not load.
Once that is done, continue on.
Step 1. Create a new folder named "Bot" in your Silkroad directory. If you have one already, rename it to "OldBot", and then create a new one. Download and extract the bot into this folder. It is advisable to simply "redo" your configurations with each new bot release. If you do not, you risk running into problems with Softmod and the bot itself.
Step 2. Create a folder named "X33" in your Silkroad directory. Download "x33.dll" from the link below and copy the file into this directory. Make sure that you choose "Save" or "Save As". Do not "Open" it or you will not be able to download the file successfully.
Step 3. Download "Loader.zip" from the link below. Extract the contents of this ZIP into the "X33" folder. To be sure that this step was done right, if your main folder was "C:\Program Files\Silkroad", you SHOULD have a file with the path: "C:\Program Files\Silkroad\X33\Loader.exe". You SHOULD NOT have a file with a path of "C:\Program Files\Silkroad\X33\Loader\Loader.exe". Please pay careful attention to this.
Step 4. Go to your "Silkroad\Bot" folder. Run "srobot.exe" to create a "Silk.dll" file. Look down at the tasktray and right click on the bot finger and choose Exit to close the finger. If the bot finger will not close, you might still have Silkroad clients still active in memory!
You are now ready to use Softmod. Go to the "Silkroad\X33" folder and execute the "Loader.exe" file to start Silkroad. You must use this file to start your Silkroad clients. If everything is in place, you will be prompted to choose your Silkroad client and then the game will startup and you will be ready to bot.
