RoM Configuration

There are two main settings files for RoM bot: settings.xml and your profile. Profiles contain character-specific settings, while settings.xml contains hotkey settings and general preferences.

Settings.xml

Here is an example settings file:

<settings>
	<hotkeys>
		<!-- Cannot use modifiers -->
		<hotkey description="MOVE_FORWARD" key="VK_W" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="MOVE_BACKWARD" key="VK_S" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="ROTATE_LEFT" key="VK_A" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="ROTATE_RIGHT" key="VK_D" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="STRAFF_LEFT" key="VK_Q" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="STRAFF_RIGHT" key="VK_E" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="JUMP" key="VK_SPACE" modifier="" />

		<hotkey description="TARGET" key="VK_TAB" modifier="" />
		<hotkey description="TARGET_FRIEND" key="VK_J" modifier="" />
	</hotkeys>

	<options>
		<option name="ENABLE_FIGHT_SLOW_TURN" value="false" />
		<option name="MELEE_DISTANCE" value="45" />
		<option name="LANGUAGE" value="english" />
		<option name="DEBUG_ASSERT" value="true" />
	</options>
</settings>

Settings - Hotkeys

The hotkey settings are mostly self-explanatory. MOVE_FORWARD, obviously, coresponds to the key that makes your character walk forward. This is "W" by default. Note that all keys must preceeded by 'VK_'.

You may also notice the 'modifier'. Modifiers are keys such as CONTROL, SHIFT, or ALT. However, be aware that modifiers currently do not work. You should not set modifiers or you may run into problems. Instead, just leave the modifier set to an empty string("").

If your Runes of Magic bindings file (By default, is located at 'My Documents/Runes of Magic/bindings.txt') can be found and loaded, the RoM bot will instead use these settings so that you will not need to manually change your hotkey settings.

Settings - Options

ENABLE_FIGHT_SLOW_TURN	Allows you to enable or disable "slow turning" in combat. If you have click-to-move on, you should not need this. It should be set to either "true" or "false". The default is "false".
MELEE_DISTANCE	The distance at which to conduct melee combat. A value of 45 is good and should not be changed unless you have problems with being either too close or too far away for melee combat. Default: "45".
LANGUAGE	Allows you to set your prefered language. Acceptable values are "english", "deutsch", and "french".
DEBUG_ASSERT	This is a debugging option. When set to true, it will instantly exit on memory read errors and provide better debugging information. Default: "false".

Character Profiles

There are a few things you should know about character profiles first:

• They typically are named after the character that will use them
• They must be inside the 'rom/profiles' folder
• They must follow proper XML formatting
• They may contain custom Lua code

There are many profile options that can be set so it is highly recommended you make a copy of the default profile (Default.xml) and modify that to your character's needs instead of starting from scratch.

If you have extension hiding turned off, the .xml extension will not show on any of your files. If this is the case, do not add the .xml extension or you will end up with a file named something like Default.xml.xml. This may cause the profile to not be found and you may get errors. However, if you are able to see extensions, you should of course include the .xml extension when naming your profile.

Profile - Options

HP_LOW	The percentage of health to use heal skills at
HP_LOW_POTION	The percentage of health to use potions at
