Getting Started

Test a new route with a character and location where an incorrect movement, floor change, or server rate limit will not cause a significant loss. OT servers can differ in map items, movement rules, action limits, and protocol behavior.

Brief Explanation

CaveBot follows a list of waypoints. A waypoint can describe a destination, a floor-change action, a lure transition, a label/jump, or a Lua script.

CaveBot handles navigation; combat and survival behavior must be configured separately through modules such as Healing, Targeting, Magic Shooter, and Equipment.

Recommendations

• Reveal the required minimap area before testing the route.
• Start with a conservative Actions Per Second value. Increase it only if ZeroBot is visibly waiting on its own action limiter and the server permits the higher rate; decrease it if the server rate-limits or disconnects the character. A character's level alone does not determine the correct value.
• Use enough Stand or Node waypoints to keep long paths and floor transitions unambiguous.
• Use Start Lure and End Lure only for routes that intentionally use the regular lure flow. Dynamic Lure has separate compatibility rules in CaveBot Settings.
• Keep important waypoints away from unintended holes, teleports, and other floor changes whenever possible.
• Use the dedicated Rope, Ladder, Hole, Use, Door, and Machete types for their respective map interactions.
• Save the route before enabling it and after any important change. If Encrypt CaveBot on Save is enabled, also keep an unencrypted backup because the encrypted file cannot be converted back by the interface.
• Use a Script waypoint only when a dedicated waypoint type cannot express the action. Keep waits short and clean up every event and timer created by the script.
• Test the complete loop, including refill, selling, death/reconnect behavior, and the return path.

Targeting Recommendations

Targeting settings depend on the vocation, speed, terrain, creature behavior, and OT server.

• Auto distance lets the targeting logic choose its movement distance.
• Fixed distance uses the configured distance as its target.
• Stand avoids distance movement and is appropriate when the character should hold position.

Treat any shared profile as a starting point. Verify it in the actual hunting area before leaving CaveBot unattended.
