So Lets Get Started Shall We!

Download

First you need to download the actual bot and associated files

The Download Links

Once you have everything downloading wen can stat installing. First install VB Runtime

Next install .NET 3.5 Framework

Extract & Familiarize

After you have installed the prerequisite software we can extract the AOBot. You should have the following file. Depending on what Operating system you have it may be located in different places. Move the file to your desktop.

Extract or uncompress the file, once we have the bot files we can begin imputing our information into the bot.

Open the bot folder make sure to familiarize your self with the folder structure as it will be important, especially when obtaining support.

We need to focus on only a few things in here. First the logs folder

Inside here contains all the log files important to maintaining our bot. The Main two being the core and owner logs shown below.

The next thing is your scripts folder, this folder contains all the script files for the bot. We will dive into this in another guide.

Last we have the AoManager.exe. This is the bread & butter of the bot. You launch this to start/setup/run/maintain your bot

AoManager Settings

Launch AoManager, you should see something similar to this

First we need to setup the manager so click on Ao Settings at the bottom

You should see something like the following image

We need to change a few settings here. To reflect the image below

Now that you have the settings above all entered let me explain them

Diablo II Directory: This is the location of your Diablo installation <-- Note that you have to double click in the Diablo II Directory field in order to select the directory
Realm: This is the Realm that you play on ours is set to east since that is info we started with
Hide Core: This will hide the core log while your bot is running. I would leave it be as its useful when you want to check on your bot to be able to read the core.
Stealth Mode: This will enable dnd with in game so to speak. Basically your friends will not be notified that your on or when you create games.
Key Delay: This is a delay setting for entering the cdkey values
Click Delay: This is a delay value for the time in between clicks for the bot. You may want to adjust this value based on lag on you INET Connection.

Bot Settings

Now we can close this AO Settings window and return to the manager window, where we can setup your bot by clicking on the Bot Settings Button at the bottom

You should now see something similar to this. Edit the delays/timers to reflect your needs

Lets go over each one

Minimum Game Time:This is the minimum amount of time in seconds that your bot will stay in game. If your run is finished before this timer the bot will idle until the limit is reached. It is recommended to have this set to a few minutes to prevent getting R/D or Temp Bans
Maximum Game Time: This is the Maximum Time that your bot will stay in game. Even if you do not complete a full run your bot will exit game after this amount of time. This is to insure that the bot does not get stuck and remain in game doing noting forever. Its recommended that you set this quite high if you are doing multiple bosses, especially if you are clearing entire areas such as Pits
Create Game Delay: This is the amount of time in seconds your bot will wait in between games before making the next. Its recommended that you use the deafults
Start Run Delay: This is the amount of time in seconds the bot will wait after creating the game before it will start the run. Its recommended that you use the deafults
Temp Ban Sleep Time: This is the amount of time your bot will wait if you receive a temp ban before trying to log in again.
Max Games Hour: This is the maximum number of games your bot will make with in one hour. this prevents the bot from getting IP banned for making 20 games on a single IP. Note: that you can also get temp ban for creating more than 10 games on a single CDKey so you may want to set this to 9 games an hour depending on the length of your runs and weather or not you are getting temp bans.
Login Too Long Delay: This is the amount of time your bot will wait if Login takes to long.
Game Join Too Long Delay: This is the amount of time your bot will wait if you receive "Failed To Join".
CD Key In Use Delay: This is the amount of time your bot will wait if it receives already in use message
Can't Connect Delay: This is the amount of time your bot will wait if you receive an IP ban before trying to log in again.

Now lets move on to the next tab, we should see something similar to this

Since there is a lot of information to go over here I am going to break this into subsections. First we will look at the Profiles Data.

Profiles is how AO handles multiple bots. Each profile you add represents a bot. For the purposes of this guide we are going to be sticking to a single bot so we will not be covering the use of D2Launcer. Which is a new feature added to B3

Next we will look at the Login Data

Now that you have the settings entered let me explain them

Diablo II Directory: This is the location of your Diablo installation <-- Note that you have to double click in the Diablo II Directory field in order to select the directory
Owner Name: This is the Name you entered when installing Diablo II
Username: This is the name of the account you want to use to bot with
Password: This is the password for that account
Character Position: This is the position of the character on that account roster that you want to use for booting
Auto Start Run: Should always be check, it determines if you want the bot to automatically stator when it enters a game or you want it to be initiated manually each time. Useful if you want to use the core without running a sequence. IE was, grush, etc…

Next we will look at the Game Settings

Now that you have the settings entered lets go over them

Game Name: This is the name of the game you want your bot to use it will automatically increment this so notice i added the - at the end of mine so it will be IM A MF-1
Game Password: This is the password you give for your games
No Password: This makes the game public with no password
Difficulty: This is the Difficulty of the game it will create
Channel: This is the D2 Channel that your bot will join
First Join Channel Message: This is the D2 Channel that message your bot will span when it first joins the channel entered above
Next Game Message: This is the message your bot will spam in channel before creating the next game
Too Short Message: This is the message your bot will spam in channel if the previous game crashed
Hide Window: Do Not Use This it prevents the doable window from opening so you can not see your bot inaction

Last we will look at the CD Keys. This section is pretty much self explanatory but lets go over it

You type the corresponding key into the field and click add. you can add as many keys to the bot as you wish. furthermore by entering a numbered value into the "Change keys after" field you can tell your bot to switch between the cd keys after a set amount of games

The final two sections are not going to be covered in this guide since they are not working or are still buggy. With that said once all the settings have been entered you can close the Bot Settings Window

Char Settings

Now we will move on to the Character Setup, we will be using the new integrated Char Settings to do so. Click on the Char Settings button at the bottom of the Manager

You should see something similar to the following image

This is the way AO handles multi-botting now in B3, each bot you run will have a profile. Select the profile you wish to edit the settings for and the interface will jump to the next tab. You should see something similar to the following

Lets go over each of the settings. I divided them into the corresponding sections

1. Public Chat: This enables the bot to spam the in game messages for Baal and Chaos games.
2. Public Bot: This enables the bot to create TP for Baal and Chaos games.
3. Auto Party: This enables the bot to Auto Party with users in the game
