If you haven't yet installed all the requisite software as detailed by the Installation Guide, head there now.

Preparing for your first run

Before you run the bot, it needs to know certain things about your hardware setup and about your game. This information needs to be added to a configuration file.

Manual configuration

  1. Open Config.sample.toml in Notepad (or similar text editor).
  2. Click "File" -> "Save As".
  3. Change the name to Config.toml. Ensure that the file is saved as a .toml file (and not a .txt file) by changing "Save as type:" to "All Files (.)".
  4. Following the instructions, modify every value that comes before the ADVANCED section to suit your setup. The bot will hunt the top-most saved legendary path you have by default (although this behaviour can be changed in the ADVANCED section).
  5. If your game language is not in English, change the LANGUAGE value to your game's language. The supported languages are shown in the bottom portion of the file; if you cannot find a section for your language (e.g., [Spanish]) then we do not support your language out of the box. You can manually add your language by copying one of the other language's sections and replacing the values with phrases from your language.

Starting your first run

We recommend running AutoMaxLair for the first time in IDLE (or another Python IDE) so any errors are easily noted in the console.

  1. Open the main script in IDLE by right-clicking auto_max_lair.py and selecting "Edit in IDLE". If that option does not appear, start IDLE and then click "File" -> "Open", then navigate to auto_max_lair.py and select it.
  2. Select the script window and press F5 on the keyboard to run it.
  3. Make note of the messages shown in the Python Shell. Don't be discouraged if an error (indicated by red text) appears! Most users will miss something on their first try.

Troubleshooting

Error Resolution
"No module named xyz" One or more of the additional Python modules was not installed. Revisit the Installation Guide.
"[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Config.toml'" Ensure the config file is saved as Config.toml and not Config.sample.toml or Config.toml.txt.
