Zone swapping

[CHDA80]

Is there a way to have the bot automatically switch to the next area when the current on is complete?

There's no way through the gui yet, because the bot was initially created only to grind one area. We will be updating the bot to do this later though.

However, for now, you can use a plugin to change the area. Here's an example:

GrindZoneChanger

using System;
using log4net;
using Loki.Bot.Logic;
using Loki.Bot.Logic.Bots.Grind;
using Loki.Utilities;
using Loki.Utilities.Plugins;

namespace GrindZoneChanger
{
    /// <summary> </summary>
    public class GrindZoneChanger
 : IPlugin
    {
        #region Implementation of IEquatable<IPlugin>

        /// <summary>
        ///     Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type.
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns>
        ///     true if the current object is equal to the <paramref name="other" /> parameter; otherwise, false.
        /// </returns>
        /// <param name="other">An object to compare with this object.</param>
        public bool Equals(IPlugin other)
        {
            return Name.Equals(other.Name);
        }

        #endregion

                }

This was just a small work around added to allow the bot to do it in the mean time. You'd create a new folder in your Plugins directory, create a cs file with that code, then change it as needed. Enable the plugin through the bot gui itself, and it should be working.
