Hey Mike, the bot ran perfectly fine the past days. But today I started the bot twice and it instantly quit with the error notice that I attached (logs).
I am not really sure what caused the issue. The only difference to the past was another full screen application (not runescape) running simultaneously. I would greatly appreciate, if you could refund the two tries, so that I can try again.
Thanks a lot and thank you for the otherwise flauless hours of botting.
RuneLite updated. RuneMate is now updated to support it.

Was hoping it would be working today, however it seemed to stop without reason. I didnt have a stop scheduled but I think it auto-stopped after I was "afk"?

All bots were broken due to a RuneLite update. Should be resolved by restarting now.

Would love to see incorporation of fixing barricades and curse/stun spells for accounts with lower hitpoints goals!

Works great; got my full set in 8 hours! only issue I see, it looks kinda like a bot here and there. I noticed when you complete the minigame, when you're entering the boat right after you win/lose it almost instantly enters the boat. Maybe some delay, like 3/10 seconds would make it look more human like (if you're afking here and there, tabbed out, etc. nIDK if that's just me but ty for the bot!

Tbh that's a how a real player plays and I would get a lot of backlash for delaying there. Outside of the weekend, it's likely only 1-2 games are running and if the bot purposely misses the first boat going, then I'll just get a bunch of backlash reviews

I actually spent a lot of time making sure we always get into the boat before the next game starts lol

OH! Ty for the dedication! I didn't realize that would be seen as abnormal. First time botting so I was clarifying what I saw as a new runescaper/botter; what I would think would be weird. I appreciate the effort. Keep up the good work!!

Just tried running it twice and closed both times. I submitted bug reports, can I get a refund for the two instances?

Hi, the game updated and when that occurs it breaks a few hooks between RuneMate and the OSRS, so you experienced the behaviour you did.

It looks like everything is back to normal now, you will need to restart both of your clients

It does unfortunately look pretty non-human in both the attack and defend modes.

In defend mode, it seems to stand on the mound and just afk if there's nothing close by. It's not a huge deal because we can choose attack which is just a lot more active, but I imagine it could be improved by walking up to the fence and attacking some of the ranged enemies when there are no enemies on the mound.

In attack mode, it runs to a random portal - which may still have a shield up. At the beginning, this is fine, but if a different portal drops it's shield, legitimate players will all leave and run to the portal which is attackable, leaving the bot alone seemingly to just afk attacking enemies at a portal which is not attackable. Same thing after a portal is destroyed, if there is another portal which is attackable, all real players immediately leave to go attack that portal, but the bot often lingers around attacking things near the destroyed portal.

I think this bot would be 100x better with a bit better pathing logic around which portal to go to, and when. I suppose "always" running to the nearest non-shielded portal is also a bit too predictable, but right now it just looks very un-natural to be the only person standing around at a broken or shielded portal. Otherwise, great work and thanks!

An "even better if" might be if there was an "Auto" mode which switched between attack and defense irregularly. Perhaps if you've just destroyed a portal or died and there are enemies on the mound, instead of just running past, it could spend a bit of time defending. Similarly, if there are no enemies on the mound (or after some short time defending passes), it could switch back to attack portal mode.

I have also seen it occasionally get creep blocked - e.g. pathing to a spinner but there are other monsters blocking the path. This is a dead giveaway that it's a bot, because you just end up spinning in place awkwardly tracking something you cant reach. I imagine this might be harder to solve.
