whenever i start the rom bot and run rom/bot command it gives a error saying
"cannot open scripts\rom/bot.lua: No such file or directory"
i have the latest update of everything but still its not working. Haven't played rom for a few months have some stuffs changed recently ??
Thank you will appreciate some help
would have posted a an image but apparently external links are considered as spam...

It looks like you didn't install the bot. Micromacro is not the bot. It is the Lua interpreter that runs the bot which is written in Lua. You need TortoiseSVN to download the bot from the svn repository. There are some svn instructions here.

Plus, this was the wrong section to post this topic. Like it says at the top of the section page,

This is not the place to ask questions about the RoM bot, which uses MicroMacro. There is a difference.

sorry i didn't knew that its the wrong section.
But anyways rom bot is installed and i have used it for a long time before i left game briefly. It worked perfectly 4 months ago but now its not working. And i have also update the file with SVN update. Something else is wrong with it.

If you manually look in the 'micromacro/scripts/rom' folder what do you see?

there are the .lua files and some folders... and yes there is also the bot.lua file so its not really missing... but still it wont work...

You sure bot.lua is in this folder "micromacro/scripts/rom/bot.lua"? I don't know what else could cause that error except the file being missing. It might be a security issue. Windows has been known to interfere with accessing files. I never experienced anything like that myself but there have been reports about problems with having the micromacro folder on the Desktop. If you have it on the desktop, try moving it.

Right-click the bot.lua file, select "Properties". You should see the full path listed under "Location:" that looks like this: D:\sync\micromacro\scripts\rom
What does that line say for you?

You should also attach your log.txt file from the micromacro folder.

Did you right-click the rom.lua file, click 'Properties' and see what it had for 'Location'?
