    So I'm getting into writing scripts bots for RuneMate, and one thing I've noticed is that after every script bot change, you have to restart your entire client to test it out. This got very annoying, very quick. So I came up with a solution. Here's how to do it:

    1) Assuming you're using Intellij, go to File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Search for "JRebel" and install it
    2) Go here: JRebel Trial and sign up. It'll give you an authentication code. Do not lose this.
    3) Once JRebel is done installing, restart Intellij.
    4) In Intellij, go to Help -> JRebel -> Activation -> "I already have a license" tab
    5) Choose the "Activation code" option and paste the code you got from step 2 here.
    6) Agree to the terms and conditions and hit Activate JRebel.
    That's it for installing JRebel. Now, all you have to do is when you startup your client, rather than simply running it, go to the "Run" menu option, and hit "Run with Jrebel"
    [​IMG]
    Now you can literally make updates on the fly without having to restart your client. For example, if you are running a local woodcutting script bot cutting "Yew" trees, you can literally change "Yew" to "Maple" in your script bot while the script bot is running, and it'll change on the fly.

    Orrrrr, you can click the reload button above the script bot list :)
    EDIT: just read last part, seems pretty cool to be honest.

    That never actually updated it for me, which is what led me to this tutorial.

    when you load client without being in intellij there is a developer option so you can refresh list without restarting client, does require having a published bot on market though

    Just use IntelliJ debugging and use Hotswap?
    As long as you don't change class structures you can compile during runtime of the bot and it will affect the active session.
    Also @Party does the refresh button over the bot list actually do anything else than refresh the manifests? I doubt the client loads every class file upon start, only when you stsrt the respective bot.

    It's different for local and bot store bots (naturally).

    I didn't give you a full answer because I'm not sure what I can and can't say with regards to the class-loading.

    You still have to refresh bots.

    You can't do this without JRebel? Works fine for me w/o it. Although maybe because I always run it on debug mode...

    In IntelliJ: Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Debugger -> Hotswap, set reload classes to Always

    And run RM in IntelliJ in debugger mode

    Why do you guys always have this issue, i've literally not had it once and i've done numerous reinstalls of my entire system during my time here.
    You don't need any hotswapping or Jrebel. You literally just press the rebuild project button and then refresh your bot list in the client. That's it. upload_2018-1-4_10-17-22.png

    If it's not updating your bot you've either pressed the wrong button and it hasn't recompiled the files you want it to, or you've done something seriously dodgy with your project.
    Either way, it's not a RuneMate issue, it's a you issue.
