“WoW-Bot” is a fully passive “World of Warcraft” bot developed by Voodoo and sold by botFührer, the previous seller of Omega-bot. Currently the bot is in beta stage and is completely free, users are able to log in with the username: trial and password: trial
FEATURES
Possibly WoW-Bot’s biggest feature is that it does not inject anything into the World of Warcraft client, thus making it at this point in time impossible to detect unless Warden (World of Warcraft’s anti-cheat system) has a big update or Blizzard puts detection code into the client itself which would require a World of Warcraft patch. Unfortunately there is no way to really avoid this form of detection and all bots are susceptible to this, even the best of reverse engineers struggle to prevent this method of detection.
WoW-Bot has no big complicated GUI or complex set up options, rather it chooses to keep things simple with all combat AI hard-coded into the bot, with most classes having different specs supported.
There is very little setup required as previously mentioned, WoW-Bot quickly pastes LUA (WoW’s in game API) commands into the chat box, thus allowing spells to be cast regardless of where they are on the action bar and preventing the need to use the mouse for many other tasks where other bots would require it. However if a user does require more specific settings they are also available in a configuration file, allowing for greater versatility within the bot.
WoW-Bot functions 100% with WoW in the background, meaning that you can browse the internet, watch movies, play games while WoW-Bot bots your character in the background. It should be noted that when WoW is in the background and looting is enabled WoW-Bot will occasionally move your mouse to the centre of the screen to loot a corpse, the process takes very little time and you’ll barely notice it.
The navigation system of WoW-Bot uses a system called a “Nav-Mesh” to put it simply, you don’t have to run around marking an exact path for the bot to follow (although if the user wishes to use this form of navigation it is available) instead the user can just give it a waypoint (a particular ‘co-ordinate’ in WoW) and WoW-Bot can use it’s navigation mesh to find its way there without the user having to provide any sort of manual mapping.
Some other nice features of WoW-Bot is the ability to train new skills, the user just has to map a trainer waypoint and WoW-Bot will automatically go to the class trainer every time a new skill can be learned and it will even use the new skills gained! WoW-Bot can also mail specific items to a specified character, it also has the ability to sell items when your characters bags are full, restock food, water and ammo when your character is running low, even repair when your durability is low.
GETTING STARTED – DOWNLOADING WoW-Bot
To begin create a new folder called WoW-Bot and download the latest version of WoW-Bot and save the file to the WoW-Bot folder you just created. The latest version of WoW-Bot can be found in the “Announcements / Releases” Forum. At the time of Writing the latest version is 1.0.178 so I’m going to download that:
You will need some form of Tool to extract it, I recommend WinRAR which can be downloaded at:
(Make sure you download the correct version for your operating system i.e. x32 or x64)
Now if WinRAR is installed right click on WoW Bot.rar and click “Extract here”
Your folder should now look like this:
GETTING STARTED – INSTALLING THE NAVIGATION FILES
Now that we’ve got the latest version of WoW-Bot we have to download the navigation files that allow WoW-Bot to find its way to any waypoint you give it.
This is a simple process and pretty much exactly the same process as before. Download both the Kalimdor or Azeroth files (you can just download one of them if you only play one faction obviously) Make sure you save the file you’re downloading to the “nav” folder in your WoW-Bot folder, if you don’t have this folder create it:
Kalimdor:
Azeroth:
Once it’s downloaded and the archive is in the “nav” folder in your WoW-Bot folder right click on the file and again click “Extract Here”. This process may take a while as there are A LOT of files to extract!
When it’s finished extracting your “nav” folder should look roughly the same as:
GETTING STARTED – INSTALLING THE DEPENDENCIES
We’re nearly done! All that’s left to do now is download the dependencies. There are a few dependencies that need to be downloaded, when downloading them make sure they are all, again, saved to the WoW-Bot folder. Download all the files at the following links:
It should also be noted that you may need the latest version of DirectX9, if you are having any errors try downloading that.
Once the dependencies are downloaded and saved in your WoW-Bot folder, right click them and again click “Extract here” on all the dependency files you just downloaded.
GETTING STARTED – UPDATING WoW-Bot
Whenever there is an update to the bot you do not have to follow all the previous steps again, just find the latest version in the “Announcements / Releases” forum and again save the file to your WoW-Bot folder or whatever folder you extracted WoW-Bot to. Once it’s downloaded, making sure it’s in the same folder as your current WoW-Bot, right click on the file you just downloaded and choose “Extract Here” and let it overwrite all existing files.
RUNNING THE BOT
Alright so now I’m going to assume you have installed WoW-Bot correctly by following the previous setting up steps. When you’re ready to start botting run WoW, login to your account and load up your character. Once this is done go to your WoW-Bot folder and run WoW-Bot.exe as administrator, you’ll need to login using your WoW-Bot username and password, trial/trial is the trial username and password and at time of writing is limited to the old continents. You should be greeted with this screen upon login:
Now it would be a good idea to configure some basic options for the bot by going File > Options:
The following Options screen should pop up I’ll explain the three tabs:
Combat:
All the tick boxes are self-explanatory you can choose those yourself.
Last Level Trained Should obviously be set to the last level you trained your character at, this will tell the bot what spells it knows and when it needs to train next.
Aggro Range How far from the waypoint a mob can be for the bot to attack it
Rest Health The first box is what % health you want to start eating food at, the second box is what % health you want to stop eating at.
Rest Mana Same as Rest Health but for mana obviously
Utility:
Gather Range same as Aggro Range but for mining and gathering herbs
Do Not Auction I think this is items you don’t want to sell, but it could be for a future auction house feature which is apparently planned
Sell Items Items you want the bot to sell “ff9d9d9d” is the code for grey items, so it will sell all grey items, you can also add words such as leather, Meat etc.
Repair Percent The durability at which WoW-Bot will repair, in the screen above the character would repair at 35% durability
Login:
This tab is self explanatory
MAKING WAYPOINTS
In order for the bot to run smoothly you should make two or three mob waypoints, a repair waypoint and a class trainer waypoint. So to start on the main WoW-Bot screen go File->Waypoints, click “New Waypoints”
Class Trainer Waypoint:
Make sure your character is at your class trainer, set the type to Vendor and in description put <class> trainer for e.g. if I was a paladin in description I would put paladin trainer then click OK:
Repair:
Do the same as Class Trainer – move to a repair NPC, set the Type to “Vendor” but in the description type “repair”
Mob Waypoint:
There are two ways to make a mob waypoint, the easiest way is to just go to the spot you want to grind at and press F9, this will automatically create a “Mob Camp” waypoint for your level. In the main waypoint window if you set the type to camp your “Mob Camp” you just created will appear as <level> auto e.g. 5 auto. When you press F9 on the main WoW-Bot log screen you should see:
Waypoint Made - <id>, type: 3
Created Mob Camp
The second way to create mob waypoints is the same as creating a Class Trainer or Repair waypoint. Again go to the “New Waypoint” Screen, this time set the Type to “Camp” and in the description put <level> <type> e.g. 10 humanoid or 69 beast
DELETING/SAVING WAYPOINTS
To delete a waypoint go File -> Waypoints and in the drop down box on the top left select the type of waypoint you want to delete (if it’s a mob waypoint select camp if it’s a repair or class trainer select vendor), find the waypoint you want to delete, click on it and click the “Delete Waypoint” button.
To save your Waypoints simply click “Save Waypoints” your waypoints will be saved in the “Waypoints” folder in your WoW-Bot folder. These can be uploaded to the WoW-Bot forums.
USING SOMEONE ELSES WAYPOINTS
Waypoints can be uploaded and downloaded from the WoW-Bot forum:
To use your downloaded Waypoints, simply place it in your “Waypoints/default” folder located in your WoW-Bot folder and they will be automatically imported the next time the bot is loaded.
START THE BOT
Well if you’ve got all your waypoints sorted out, all you need to do now is go to the Main WoW-Bot window and make sure the “Mode” is set to “Hunt” and click Start:
CRASHES/ERRORS
If you run into any issues make sure you followed the previous steps correctly and try running the dependency tool:
and see if you’re missing anything. If you’re still having problems search on the WoW-Bot forums or post a thread explaining your problem.
