The Tools tab gathers everything that runs around the hunt: Looting, the Helper with its alarms, CaveBot's lure and movement settings and profiles. It has four boxes.

Looting#

Looting opens the corpses of monsters the bot killed, using the client's quick loot. It walks next to each corpse first. What gets taken is decided by the server's own loot list.

Helper & alarms#

The Helper takes care of small chores and the alarms. An alarm plays three beeps and writes [ALARM] to the log. Alarms work even while the bot is paused.

On/off alarms#

Detected fires once per creature seen on the map, on any floor. On screen fires once per creature on your floor.

Emergency#

Emergency makes the bot stop gathering monsters when things get tight: the lure stops and it fights what is already there. It comes off. Turn on Emergency: stop the lure in danger and choose what counts as danger:

One of them is enough. In Emergency: action you choose what the bot does:

• stop lure: stops gathering and fights the monsters that are there
• stop lure + pause cavebot: does the same and CaveBot stands still until the danger is over

On entering danger the bot plays the alarm. When the danger is over, everything goes back to normal by itself; for HP, only once health is 10 points above the value. Emergency does not log out the character.

Lure & movement#

These settings belong to CaveBot:

Also here:

• Lure: skip unreachable (on): does not count monsters with no path
• Disable player walkthrough: treats players as walls
• Walk through fields (on): the bot walks over fire, poison and energy fields when that is the way, and goes around when the detour is short. Off, it treats fields as walls
• Kite along the route (off): for characters that keep distance. When a monster gets inside the distance you keep and the next waypoint leads away from it, the character keeps walking the route and shoots on the way, instead of stepping around in place. It works on the normal walk waypoints (node and stand). Good for a paladin or mage on a looping route
• Lure ignore: names that never count toward the lure
• End lure: leave by HP% / N, End lure: stay if HP% / N and End lure: try walk to center, ZeroBot's End Lure options
• Walk mode: path (whole path, like a map click) or step (step by step, like arrow keys)

Profiles & areas#

Profiles#

A profile stores the whole setup. Type the name (empty = character name) and use Save, Load or List. With the automatic profile option on the Engine tab, the character's profile loads at login.

ZeroBot#

Give a route file, a hunt folder or a .lua and click Import (replaces the route) or Export (saves the route and settings as a ZeroBot Lua script in scripts/).

Special areas#

Areas are rectangles where the bot does not walk and/or ignores monsters. Create them from the chat:

/wp area 5 3 walk se        5x3 where it does not walk
/wp area 4 4 mobs c         4x4 centred, ignores monsters
/wp area 6 2 both se 10-18  only between waypoints 10 and 18

Clear deletes them all. Areas +1 while drunk grows every area by 1 sqm while the character is drunk.
