Greetings all! Assuming you have achieved a 2nd grade education, this thread will answer every question you've ever had about the universe, including all questions about Demonbuddy. There's some sarcasm present, but it's in good fun!
The first section is general questions relating to DB, the 2nd section is focused on champion hunting profiles and plugins.
I didn't reserve any room in my previous thread so I have remade it here! Please post any comments and questions in this one.
PART 1 - General Demonbuddy Questions
1. How do I download Demonbuddy?
This is a difficult task. You must click this Download and then you are done.
You'll need a key to use it. Buy the key HERE
You simply extract it into a folder, and you're good to go. Here's a link to the user manual if you need additional help.
After you've downloaded it, make sure to run it as an administrator!
2. What is a "Session"?
A session is a copy of Demonbuddy running. If you buy one session, you can run one bot at a time.
More specifically you can have Demonbuddy playing one Diablo three account at a time (on one server at a time).
It's not attached to your Battle.net account in any way so you could use one Demonbuddy session to bot 12 hours on one account, and then switch accounts and bot 12 hours on another.
3. I downloaded the Demonbuddy but it DOESN'T WORK WTF!
You probably didn't read the thing that told you that you need .Net 4.0 and Visual C++ redistributable! Shame on you.
You can either install these by hand, or download This magical program that will do both for you PS: RUN IT AS AN ADMINISTRATOR, same as Demonbuddy itself.
4. How do I make it DO STUFF??
You'll need to download a profile. Profiles are user created and they tell the bot what to do. Browse through the profile section HERE
For easy access, create a Profiles folder inside of your Demonbuddy folder, and then download whatever profiles you like and place them there.
When you want to use a profile, click the "Load" button on the Demonbuddy main screen.
5. I previously had a working Demonbuddy, but I updated it and it still doesn't work!
It's best to do a fresh install of Demonbuddy whenever it is updated. A fresh install means downloading the newest version of Demonbuddy, extracting it into a new folder (NOT OVERWRITING YOUR OLD FOLDER), and then downloading and installing the latest versions of your favorite plugins. Sometimes updates break plugins -> check to make sure the ones you're using are compatible.
6. A new patch has just come out, MY DEMONBUDDY ISN'T WORKING!
Demonbuddy requires updates after a patch. The DB team does their best to make sure releases are timely, be patient!
7. I cant open more than one D3!
A legitimate concern. There are a few solutions with varying degrees of complexity, I'll mention four of the best ways to do it, from SIMPLE to COMPLEX!
A: Copy your D3 folder. Create a shortcut to Diablo iii.exe from the copied folder. In the shortcut, add -launch to the end of the Target. EX:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo 3copy\Diablo III.exe" -launch
Note: Run this as an administrator.
B: VMware #1: VMware is a program that creates a virtual machine that runs from your computer. It really puts a computer in your computer. You have to either buy this program, or download it from shady corners of the internet. Once you have VMware installed, you're going to need a windows iso. Pick whatever version you fancy, there are certain optimized ones that require less resources (such as windows 7 ultimate sp1 x32 lite v3 by nil-nt.iso) but if you're not comfortable, a full windows 7 iso is fine. Once you have the VM set up, simply drag and drop your Diablo 3 folder from your real computer to the program files on your virtual computer. You'll create a virtual machine for each copy of D3 you want to run, with a separate Demonbuddy folder in each. For added security you can also use a virtual private network to change the IP address on each VM.
C: ISboxer. This is less resource intensive than the first VMware option, but I've never tried it so I can't help you. Sam_m316 sent me this PM that explains how to set up ISboxer. To avoid taking up a ton of space, I posted it in an image. click here for the image CLICKY. Or if you don't want to visit an external site, here's a text file. View attachment isBoxer.txt
D: Vmware #2: There's a detailed guide on how to run multiple bots from multiple VMs in a fashion MUCH more optimized than I mentioned above. Here it is . If you're bad with computers this is probably not for you.
8. My bot isn't picking anything up/is picking everything up/LOOT IS CONFUSING ME!
You can either find a loot rule to use, or make your life 100x easier and use Giles Trinity Plugin. It's makes it VERY easy to customize what your bot picks up and stashes. In addition, It's a replacement combat routine and world object handler.
I'm not even going to tell you where to get a loot rule, because loot rules suck. Don't use loot rules. Use his plugin!
Download the latest version from his thread HERE
9. My bot wants me to pick a routine, HELP!
The routine you select is the combat profile the bot uses for killing things. Your built in options are Generic (not recommended, unless you want to customize the settings yourself) or Belphegor (Solid combat, built in avoidance and highly customizable). If you're going to use one of the built in routines, I'd suggest Belphegor.
The recommended option is to download Giles Trinity Plugin. In my experience it attacks faster than Belphegor, features backtracking (to lessen stucks), and most importantly, is integrated with the old Stash Replacer plugin. What this means is that with this plugin you can loot WHILE IN COMBAT. This is huge and results in much less missed loot. Download this plugin here HERE
10. Who is this GilesSmith fellow and why are you linking me his plugin?
Short version: It works really well, he updates it constantly, and it makes DB function 1000% better.
Long version: GilesSmith is a mysterious figure. Some say he invented the internet. The truth however is that he's a demonic polar bear of frozen doom that shoots lightning from his eyes. He's the Devil from Shrewsbury and if you cross him he will make your Diablo 3 crash even more than it already does.
11. How do I make money with this bot.
You have two options. Farm gold, or farm items.
A. Gold farming profiles have been cr?cked down on a lot recently, probably due to the high volume of games they create. It's not impossible to make money by gold farming, and it's certainly possible to avoid the banhammer while being a gold farmer, but in my personal opinion it's riskier. Head over to the profile section to see the profiles available, and try pick one that doesn't have you hitting game limits. People are reporting that this may flag accounts.
B.Champion farming (A1/A2/even A3) involves gearing your bot to take on elites. See Part 2 below for more info.
12. MY BOT IS CRASHING, WHAT DO I DO (other misc. problems included)
Update to .221 if you haven't already.
If you're having any issue with Demonbuddy that isn't covered above, the general rule of thumb is to come to the SUPPORT forum, and post your problem.
However, simply posting: MY GAME IS CRASHING FIX PLZ is not going to help the DB team solve the issue. If you're having an issue, post your log file. You'll likely be asked to post a log without plugins (even if this isn't always feasible).
Posting an issue with no log is like going into your local computer repair shop and telling them: My computer is broken, tell me how to fix it. Yeah it's broken, but they have no way to see WHAT is broken.
Here's a thread to tell you how to report your issue: LINK
When you don't post your log file, Tony gets angry. Picture tony the tiger after someone stole his frosted flakes. The result of posting an issue with no log will not be good, or great.
In addition, for D3 crashes you can be EXTRA helpful, by posting two additional files.
The first is a portion of D3debug.txt (found in your diablo 3 folder!) Important: DON'T POST THE WHOLE FILE. IT CONTAINS YOUR EMAIL. Seriously. If you post the whole file you should be ashamed of yourself. The part you want is the part that comes after this.
<ERROR-0>
***** UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: ACCESS_VIOLATION (c0000005)
</ERROR-0>
You can also post the .dmp file from the diablo folder, as I've seen Nesox ask for it before.
13. D3 crashed and my Demonbuddy stayed open! WTF now my reloggers dont work wtf!
Rule of thumb is you should always check the release thread for the update log! If you had, you would have seen the one that specifically states they disabled Demonbuddy closing upon a diablo 3 crash. This is so the log will (hopefully) include the behavior that DB did that caused D3 to crash. Post your logs to help them fix it. This will be changed back in a future Demonbuddy update.
14. Is Demonbuddy Safe to use?
Is it safe to steal a candy bar from a convenience store?
Serious answer: Demonbuddy doesn't seem to be detected in any way, or you'd see mass bans. What you see is select cases of bans, typically centered around certain behaviors/actions.
If you don't understand what I just said, I'll explain it further: BEHAVIOR seems to be what blizzard is detecting: Rapid game creation, repetitive behaviors (killin' sarkoth 1200 times per day yo, whats wrong with that?).
I personally have not been banned yet using Demonbuddy, but I'm not saying it's impossible.
15. Demonbuddy is named Demonbuddy.exe!!! WARDEN IS GOING TO GET ME!
You're welcome to rename it however you like, but it won't make it any less detectable than it already is.
If you don't believe me, here are two quotes from Apoc.
16. Random stupid questions relating to bans that dumb people ask.
Q.SERVER IS COMING DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE, BAN WAVE?
A. No
Q. Is botting before a patch more likely to get me banned?
A. Is reading a book before you drive to the store more likely to get you shot? No.
