Hello,

Seeing a lots of questions about how to setup a multi-bot env on a computer, I have made a little tutorial.
Note that some point may be, at least at the beginning, not optimized, since I'm not a big user of DB.
Also, note that all folder, name, plugins and settings are under my own preferences, and does not reflect any "best" or "better" things, since it's just a matter of opinions.

At the end, I got some questions, and I will update my post with all questions, trying to provide the best guide possible to start.

This tutorial will target a 4 players groupe.
And of course, you are able to adapte it to setup a 2 or 3 players groupe.

First at all, you will need:
  • 4 Battle.net account and 4 DiabloIII license
  • A Fresh DemonBuddy Zip (Download)
  • 4 DemonBuddy license (Buy license)

For the DemonBuddy's license, you can check yours here. (EU / NA / CN / SEA)
You need as many "Allowed Sessions" as you want to start bots.


When it's done, then we are ready to start the setup.
First and easy things, we need to create a diablo3 shortcut.
To do this, go to your Diablo3 folder, and create a shortcut.
Put this shortcut wherever you want to (mine is on desktop), and go to his properties
At the end, just add "-launch".
It will allow you to start multiple diablo3 game at the same time.

"C:\Games\Diablo III\Diablo III.exe" -launch

You can try, you are now able to start as many diablo as you want.
If you started one, you should have see that it go to the login screen.
By starting D3 throught battle net, it allow you to play without give email/password details, since you are already logged-in throught battle net.

Make sure to check your region settings (options, account, EU/NA)
Else, you may not see your char at all.

Now, you should have 4 D3 account logged.
I choose to put my DB folder on my document.

So I create a simple folder, called "easyFarm", then, into, I will create as many folder as I need bot.
I choose to create multiple, and name them with their roles.
It's more easy for me to know who is who, and to make sure Trinity settings & Items list are bound to the correct bot.
(and avoid set it again everytime, since I change things every weeks)

  • Sader
  • Monk
  • WitchDoctor
  • Wizzard


Into each folder, please, unzip a fresh DemonBuddy folder.
Also, make sure to put, into each folder, the latest Adventurer, Trinity and zAutoFollow.
NOTE: Yes, Adventurer is needed only for leader, but in case of, you may need to change your leader, or start your bot alone, and set adventurer into your bot folder cann't be a bad things)

We are almost ready to go.
Start the 4 DemonBuddy, from each folders.
Enter your keys, and select, for each, the Diablo3 instance.

Now, you should have 4 Diablo3 game started, and 4 DemonBuddy, binded on account.

For the leader:
Check plugins:

Go to zAutoFollow config, and check "server"
Load the profil you want (GreaterRift, Nephalem, Bounties, Keywarden, Uberboss, etc)

For the follower:
Check plugins:

Go to zAutoFollow config, and check "client"
Load the profil under Plugin/zAutoFollow/FollowerCombat (or FollowerPowerLeveling)
( combat will fight with your leader, powerlevel will stay at the beginning, and tp only at the level start)

Start the leader, then start followers.
Leader will go in game, invite follower, then go make some party.


F.A.Q:
Q: When I login in game, I don't have my chars, what's wrong?
A: Logout, then make sure you are binded to the correct region. ( Options => Accoutn => Europe / America / etc)

Q: When I log-in in game, my others chars are disconnected?
A: Make sure you have multiple Diablo3 account. (different email, different game key)

Q: When I log-in with DemonBuddy, it say I got max session?
A: Make sure you got enought session available. Also, try kill your current sessions then restart your bots.

Q: Bot doesn't start in correct difficulty
A: It need to be done on your Leader settings. (Main => Settings => Difficulties, select the one you wat on the dropdown list)
For GR, it's under the adventurer settings.

Q: Sometimes, my bots stuck and don't move
A: It may happen if something block the path, and if your leader doesn't got good damages. (destructible object, or others)
To solve this issue, put a leader which got some damages and with a good tankyness potential.
Also, check your Trinity settings.

Q: Where can I find zAutoFollow?
A: Just here. (click me)



Others questions, asked to advanced and/or experimented users.
  • What are the benefits (if they are) to start Diablo from differents folders, instead of one?
  • Is QuestTool plugins needed on followers (or needed at all?)
  • Who may be the best leader, considering Nepha, GR & Bounties? Which one do you prefer, and why?


TODO:
  • Add pictures
  • Add basics settings
  • Link correct threads
  • Link / Add Items list
  • Suggest 4 players compositions
  • Check shortcut with email
  • Add section about performances

Hello,

I do not know about isoboxer, but I don't see any reasons which can't make it work.
But saying the "-launch" option doesn't work, maybe there is something to do here.What did you tried, and what was wrong?

Also, yes, zAutoFollow need to be downloaded.
I will add more link for that on the guide, for you can find it here (click me)
 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo III\Diablo III.exe" -launch

It should look like this in "target"

Hello,

I'm actually looking for a guide for beginner about DB itself.
After, to be honest, I'm not that advanced, but yeah, I can try to mke something a bit more advanced :)

Thanks for guide! I finally figured it out(actually you figured it out). Ran 3 bots for 8 hrs last night. Question. Do you get bots disconnecting?It has happened to one bot twice. Not others. Any ideas?


thanks again
 
Hello,

Got few problems before, now, all is smooth.
(fresh install, fresh plugins (zAutoFollow & Trinity, proper admin right)

You can take a look to YAR too, in case of.
 
I have a lifetime licence.
If i purchase another licence will that give me another allowed session, or do i have to buy a specific licence? As i can only see + 1 licence/session options and a +3 session.

I only want one extra session, and also would prefer it to be lifetime and not like 1 month or 1 year.
 
you can buy 2 session, or a 3 session key (1 key for 3 session max)
lifetime isn't possible anymore
