Updating​

note

Make sure you close all bot clients and D2Bot# before updating!

Using Github Desktop​

The Kolbot scripting library gets regular updates. There is no auto-updater for security reasons so it will be up to you to regularly check for updates.

  • Open GitHub Desktop and it should automatically fetch any updates if there are any.
  • If there are any new updates you should see a button "Pull origin" Click on that to pull all the latest updates!

Using Git CLI​

  • Open a command prompt and navigate to the install path of D2Bot# with kolbot, reference the above guide if you forgot how to do that.
  • Make sure you are at the correct path by checking the left-hand side path. It should be inside the kolbot directory, for example C:\Users\<your username>\Desktop\kolbot. You can use the cd command to navigate there.
  • Type git pull to pull any updates from the remote repository
