Step 1: Downloading the bot
Download Tortoise SVN: Tortoise SVN DownloadInstall Tortoise SVNCreate a new folder (usually on desktop to make it easier to find and access) Name it whatever you like (kolbot works) Then right click the folder and go to “SVN Checkout” Where it says “URL of repository” Paste in this link Then click “OK” to start the SVN checkout process (downloading the bot files) You cannot paste this link in your address bar and download the bot! YOU MUST USE TORTOISE SVN and the CHECKOUT PROCESS! It has also been brought to my attention that the newer versions of Tortoise SVN are not allowing the checkout link to work or error out. I suggest an older version like this one (1. 9. 7. 27907) and DO NOT update so that you can download the bot from the source Tortoise SVNOnce this process is done it should say something like “Completed At Revision ****” The revision number will change as new versions are released as long as no errors occur continue must download and install the dependencies for the tframework downloadVC++ 2008 downloadVC++ 2010 downloadIf you receive or see an error that says “You have a higher version installed” or something similar then you can skip that download/installText Version from the github (original source) with instructions:
Step 2: Adding your cd keys
Keep in mind you need a FULL key set. Meaning you need both Classic and Expansion keys for this bot to work. They are NOT provided and they MUST be working keys if you wish to use this bot on public servers. Diablo II/Diablo 2 must be installed and it MUST be on version 1. 14dFind your folder we just made and used the SVN checkout process with I used Kolbot as name of my folder. Inside the folder you need to find “” Right click on this program and go to “properties” then go to “compatibility” If you are using Windows 8 or 8. 1 you need to use the check box that reads “Run this program in compatibility mode for” Then click the drop down menu and select “Windows XP Service Pack 2” EVERYONE on any windows needs to check the checkbox that reads “Run this program as Administrator” Then click the “Apply” button. Lastly Click the “OK” try to run “” It should open without the “Keys” button and click are different ways to add keys. I will list the most used ones here. You do not need to use multiple methods for the same key. Choose one method per cd key set. 1. Manual addition of keys- Click in the text box that has a + sign next to it and type whatever name you would like for this keyset. This name is for the bots identification purposes and does not affect the game. Next click the “Name” text box this name WILL be shown in game for the name if someone tries to use these keys and gets the “In use by key name” error. Put any name you like in this field. Next copy and paste or type out each of your classic and expansion keys in the next two text boxes labeled as “Classic” and “Expansion” Then click the “Apply” button. Then click the “ok” button. 2. Adding file keys- This is primarily used if you create cd key files via the key creator or you made them with Etal etc. To use your files you must place them in the Diablo II folder you are going to use for this bot. Ex: ImageThen we will find the “Keys” button and click it. Click in the text box that has a + sign next to it and type whatever name you would like for this keyset. Next click the “Name” text box. This is where we place the name of the file we copied over to our diablo 2 folder earlier. The file names must match exactly! EX: Leave the “Classic” and “Expansion” sections blank. Click “Apply” and then click “OK”. 3. Use the cd key set that was used with your Diablo II install. If you installed your copy of Diablo II using your OWN keys or keys that WORK and you want to use those… wait until a later step and I will show how to do this method. (Easiest method/Most dangerous method) Instructions here:
Step 3: Adding a profile
First click the “Add” buttonYou will see a series of blank text boxes, drop down menus, and folder selections. These need to be filled out and here’s the “Profile Name” text box you can name this profile. This name is not related to Diablo II itself rather, to the profile manager. Name this whatever you like. Each profile should have a different name and will help you determine which bot you are using simply by the profile the “Account” text box fill this section with your Diablo II account that has the character you want to bot the “Password” text box fill this section with your Diablo II password for the account we just filled in (CASE SENSITIVE! )In the “Character” text box fill this section with the name of the character you are wanting to bot with. (CASE SENSITIVE! )In the “Game Info” text boxes you will be able to custom name the games the bot will use. I suggest changing this to something else or you may encounter issues. Name is something short is best and the same with the password. In the past long game names and passwords have led to issues creating the “Difficulty” drop down menu you will select which hardness you would like the bot to use. Hell is fairly standard here although you can choose lower ones if you the “Realm” drop down menu you need to select which region or “realm” you are in. USEast would just be East here the “Mode” drop down menu select if you are playing on servers or single player the “Parameters” text box you can leave it as is or edit it to your liking. This is how the bot window will behave. Windowed mode MUST stay! These are done by abbreviations. The abbreviations are as follows: -w is windowed mode DO NOT DELETE!, -ns is for no sound delete if you want sound, -sleepy is a resource saving measure that adds a sleep loop in your games and helps older slower computers run this program better, -lq is lower quality mode again this is to save on resources, lastly we have -L and this is for loader in the “Diablo Path” Folder selection we need to click the folder icon next to the box to select our game or if you have file extensions enabled. This folder NEEDS to be the folder with Diablo 2 1. 14d installed and inside that folder find the game or Keep in mind this needs to also be the SAME Diablo II folder that has our LEGIT keys in it, or installed with it. LOWER VERSIONS will not work. 13d CAN work in certain cases however, it’s not recommended. In the “Entry Script” folder selection we need to choose and entry script to tell the bot what it will be doing while running. To find this file we need to browse to our Kolbot folder where our bot install is. d2bs/kolbot is the file path. Select the “” as your entry now have a drop down menu called “Key List” Click this drop down and select your key. If you are using the installed cd keys you don’t need to select anything here. ANY other method must select their key now since this tutorial is a basic setup leave the other options the way they are with one exception. Click the box next to the “Visible” Click the “Apply” button and then the “OK” Instructions:
Step 4: Creating a Char Config
In order to create a character configuration file a “char config. ” We need to run the profile we created to generate a char config. To do this we need to have our bot program or “” will then find our profile name and click itThen find the “Start” button on the left panel of “”This will open Diablo II and load into your account and then select your character and lastly using your game names and password in your profile create a game. If it doesn’t do this MAKE SURE your profile has been filled out correctly! Once it loads into the game it will give you an error and your character will not move. THIS IS NORMAL! We want this to happen in order to create a new char config. Press and hold the “Home” button on your keyboard and then press “Space” WHILE STILL HOLDING THE “Home” you see the Diablo II window disappear release those your “” window it should say in the “Console” section that a new char config file was it does you are done with this stepVideo Instructions:
Step 5: Editing the char config
This is a BASIC tutorial on how to setup a WORKING bot so that you can get started and may not be exactly what you want. This is meant to get you up and running and you can customize this yourself later. Please download notepad ++ as this will make editing this file MUCH easier! When I give line numbers these are approximate locations and not exact! Notepad ++ download page: we need to find our char config we created in the last your kolbot folder open it then go into the “d2bs” folder then into the “kolbot” folder next into the “libs” folder and lastly into the “config” will see a few files here we are looking for one with the name of our character in here. There are generic files here for each character type our should have the character type AND the name of our character. Open this file with notepad ++The first line we will edit is Line 17: erAddon = true; //!!! YOU MUST SET THIS TO FALSE IF YOU WANT TO RUN BOSS/AREA SCRIPTS!!! Change this to erAddon = false; //!!! YOU MUST SET THIS TO FALSE IF YOU WANT TO RUN BOSS/AREA SCRIPTS!!! Lines 30-119 are different areas in the game. You change lines to true or false if you want the bot to run the area change to true and false if you want to skip it. Example: Lines = false; = true; // Start from = “Leave the seals alone! “; = “Entrance TP up”; = “Star TP up”; = “Diablo”;alLeader = false; // Clear a safe spot around seals and invite leechers in. Leechers should run SealLeecher script. Don’t run with Diablo or you want your bot to kill diablo you would change it to true here = true;There are also more options in addition to just telling it to kill = true; // Start from entranceThis means where do you want to start? Entrance to chaos or the Star in the middle. true for entrance false for the star. Make sure to use lower case for true and are messages the bot will say as it moves along or if someone hits the seals before your bot = “Leave the seals alone! “; = “Entrance TP up”; = “Star TP up”; = “Diablo”;Lastly alLeader = false; // Clear a safe spot around seals and invite leechers in. Don’t run with Diablo or be ignored. Take note that not all areas are the same and not all areas are as hard to go through to 256-259 are your characters inventory and are VERY important to pay attention to. The o’s and 1’s correspond to your characters inventory in game. NOT the stash what you are holding on your person. So for example if you want to keep certain items in your inventory you will need to play a o in that spot or a 1 if you want the bot to use that spot. Look at this photo: ImageWe have 40 slots available. 4 going down and 10 accross. I want for this example to have all the charms and the torch as well as the tome’s to stay. So in this section for this character it would look like ventory[0] = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0];ventory[1] = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0];ventory[2] = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0];ventory[3] = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0];That way the bot can use the left portion while leaving the charms, torch, and tomes alone. Make sure to take a look at your character take a screen shot or remember how it looks and do the same. MAKE SURE it’s correct as you can and WILL lose items if you make a mistake! DO NOT COPY MINE do your own! Lines 267-270 are our potions on our belt. I recommend you leave it as is. If not the abbreviations are hp for health potion, mp for mana potion, and rv for rejuvenation potion. The Belt column goes as follows Beltcolumn(0) is actually belt slot 1 Beltcolumn(1) is actually belt slot 2 etc. You can change this to meet your belt scroll down to Lines 445-451 These lines are the skills our bot will use in order to attack. This is very important and the bot will not kill anything and may error out if these are not filled out correctly. Skills will be different for each character. There is a list of skills that can be found here This will tell you the number we need to plug in so that the bot will know which attacks to use. As an example I will show what I use for a hammer paladin. Keep in mind if you want to use this setup you NEED to have these skills. Lastly make sure to NOT have ANY – or negative signs in front of your skills as this will cause them to not work! tackSkill[0] = -1; // Preattack [1] = 112; // Primary skill to [2] = 113; // Primary aura to tackSkill[3] = 112; // Primary skill to [4] = 113; // Primary aura to [5] = 101; // Secondary skill if monster is immune to [6] = 119; // Secondary sure you don’t have any negative – sign in front of your numbers unless you DON’T want the character to use that skill! Lastly click “File” and “Save” to make sure your edits actually Instructions:
Step 6: Start the bot!
Go back to our “” and find the “Start” button on the left hand side of the program. Click it and your bot should now start! If it doesn’t please go back and try to see where you went wrong. If you cannot find the error feel free to post on the forums here on for more help! Video Demo:
Let’s Hope Diablo II: Resurrected Doesn’t Get Ruined by Bots
From the Cold Planes to the Throne of Destruction expansion packs, the original Diablo II had a constant problem on its hands: bot accounts. These script-driven machines would accurately teleport to the perfect location on the map and hit all of their targets while picking up loot along the way.
The result was a compromised multiplayer experience that deteriorated the game’s loot drop mechanics. Online marketplaces offering virtual items for real-world currency only exacerbated matters. Although Blizzard has attempted to squash the problem, there’s no telling whether it will persist in the upcoming Diablo II: Resurrected.
Let’s see how we got here, what’s been done about bots, and what could be done moving forward.
D2JSP and Diablo II Botting
2002 brought us the Winter Olympics, the eventual FIFA World Cup champion Brazil, and the online community D2JSP. The website lets you buy and trade Forum Gold, which could, in turn, be used to trade for goods and services across various online games and users.
D2JSP eventually became one of the more prominent online trading posts for in-game items, though its roots derive from the mechanics and gameplay of Diablo II. However, the website incurred collateral damage by clearing the rise of power players and bots.
Because you purchase Forum Gold with real-world money, Forum Gold had real-world value. That means anyone with deep enough pockets could show up and buy items instead of grinding for them in Diablo II.
Of course, sitting around and grinding for loot isn’t exactly everyone’s definition of a good time. That’s where bots come in since all you’d need to do is run a script, sit back, and watch them rake in the items.
It wasn’t just D2JSP users who used bots; however — Paul Taulborg, the website’s founder, distributed a bot through D2JSP that would fill the website with items. From there, Taulborg would put up the items for sale and watch the money come in.
Enough people downloaded the bot to affect Diablo II leaderboards and player-versus-player (PvP) matches. Not only did bots devalue the game’s Ladder system, but they also took away some of the feelings of playing with others. What’s the point of playing when you’re likely to encounter bots that grabbed all the items on a map before you could get to them?
Things got to the point where bot lobbies were easy to come by. Bots in these lobbies could teleport to bosses on a map and clear them in a matter of minutes, with users able to party up with bots. To this day, you can still join bot lobbies and automatically get waypoints, for example.
What’s Blizzard Doing Differently in Diablo II: Resurrected?
The Diablo 3 Auction House
When publisher Activision-Blizzard announced Diablo II: Resurrected earlier in 2021, people were understandably excited. The original was a critical and commercial success, so revisiting the game with a new coat of paint would excite any Diablo II fan.
Then again, the issue of bots understandably created some concern. During the Diablo Q&A panel at BlizzConline in February 2021, principal designer Rob Gallerani addressed the issue head-on.
During the panel, Gallerani confirmed Diablo II: Resurrected will use instead of its own online tool. Gallerani admitted that bots would not completely go away, but using will significantly cut down issues prevalent in the original Diablo II. These issues include the aforementioned bots, item duping, and even toxic in-game behavior.
Gallerani also confirmed Diablo II: Resurrected will make some changes to how player trading will work. The game will let you link items to other people in chat. This should make the process of putting your gear on the market much easier and smoother than before. This should also encourage more in-game trading instead of relying on websites like D2JSP.
The game will also let you compare items for trade with what your character currently has equipped. This should help cut down the number of purchases made because a player thought a specific item was better than the one their character has.
Although Gallerani didn’t mention ban waves, Activision-Blizzard uses them to control the influxes of bot use in its games. Why ban one account after another when you can ban a swath of them in one go and use fewer resources in the process.
Ban waves can be effective, but they’re not a perfect solution.
Bot users can use online trading posts to repurchase the game at a lower price using Forum Gold and the money they’ve collected. From there, bot users can create a new account or acquire a new serial number. In that sense, banning bot accounts can be a cat-and-mouse game at times.
We’ve already seen this happen with World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Call of Duty titles. All three series also use, so the same circumvention strategy has been observable across the board over the years.
Lastly, Activision-Blizzard attempted to have its own in-game trading area in the form of Diablo III‘s Real Money Auction House (RMAH). The idea was to allow players to profit off of sales of in-game items directly. Activision-Blizzard would receive a slice of the sale, meaning all parties would benefit.
Unfortunately, the RMAH eventually became dominated by bots. More significantly, it quickly became a pay-to-win mechanic for players not wanting to grind for loot. Given all of these issues, Activision-Blizzard shuttered the RMAH only months after its release.
There Isn’t a Perfect Solution
Would I like to see people lose money for using bots? Yes, it would be a fitting punishment. Then again, tracking down each offending account and issuing financial penalties would be time- and resource-consuming on Activision-Blizzard’s part.
Unfortunately, there isn’t one perfect solution for bots. If that’s enough to make you uneasy about buying and playing Diablo II: Resurrected when it comes out, I won’t blame you.
I’m not convinced that in-game efforts with the new trade-focused chat system will work, but that’s because of my years of experience dealing with bots in Diablo II. That said, it’s too early to know if Activision-Blizzard’s efforts will pay off in Diablo II: Resurrected.
Here’s hoping the black market forums and bots don’t ruin the game’s experience like it ruined Diablo II.
Diablo 2: Every Class, Ranked – Game Rant
Very few games have managed to achieve the iconic status of Diablo. With Diablo 2 Resurrected and Diablo 4 just around the corner, now is the perfect time to dive back into the franchise and get ready for the upcoming titles. Out of all the Diablo games, it is the second entry that has brought the series into the limelight and amassed a cult following all over the world. Despite the fact that it was released over 20 years ago, thousands of players continue to play it to this day.
One of the factors that continues to drive the game’s popularity is the high replay value, with seven character classes, each one with a unique skillset and multiple specifications players can choose to pursue. Disagreements regarding which class is the best rage on within the community to this day. It should come as no surprise since each character has its unique strengths and weaknesses. The Paladin excels where the Barbarian fails, and the Sorceress’s magic is fundamentally different from the Druid’s mastery of the forces of nature.
7
Barbarian
The Barbarian is probably the most “basic” class to use in Diablo 2. It doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s worthless, but there are some significant drawbacks to using this character. First of all, he is extremely reliant on gear, regardless of the build. His skill trees are definitely the least attractive ones among all of the ones players can find in the game, especially early on. Abilities such as the mastery of the basic weapons, i. e. swords, axes and maces, fade in comparison with the Necromancer, who can summon useful and quite powerful skeletons from the very first level.
Nonetheless, players with the right amount of skill and dedication can create a powerful Barbarian build. His advanced abilities such as War Cry or Whirlwind allow the character to wipe enemies off the map almost effortlessly. Beginners embarking on their first playthrough might want to opt for a different class, if only because of the lack of powerful early level abilities that make the initial stages of the game more difficult than they should be. Experienced players who are up for a challenge can turn the Barbarian into a tank that rips into anything that comes his way.
6
Assassin
One of the two classes that were introduced to the game later on (with the Lord of Destruction DLC), the Assassin is a quite interesting character lore-wise, but she falls short when it comes to some of her in-game abilities. This character class specializes in sneaky combat tactics and diversion. It makes her fun to play around with, but players new to Diablo 2 should not expect to have an easy time defeating the Prime Evils as the Assassin.
The best Assassin skills to invest in early on are the Tiger and Cobra strike. They may not be as flashy as some of the low-level abilities of the stronger classes, but they’re reliable and efficient ways to strike devastating blows. Experienced Diablo fans should spend some time upgrading the Assassin’s traps, as they can prove to be an invaluable source of support in combat, especially against larger hordes of foes.
5
Amazon
The Amazon is a versatile class, highly skilled in using ranged weapons. It’s quite popular among Diablo 2 newbies and veterans alike, as she is fairly easy to get used to, but proves a challenge to master. Aside from bows and crossbows, the Amazon can be highly effective as a spear-using build, as well. This gives players who prefer to engage in close-quarters combat the opportunity to try out this class.
While going for a Lightjab Amazon build that interchangeably uses spears and javelins is certainly a feasible option, the ranged variant with a maxed-out Bow and Crossbow skill tree can turn out to be much more satisfying and powerful, especially for newcomers. The Bowazon (as this build is referred to within the Diablo community) can wreak ranged havoc on a scale that other classes simply can’t compete with.
4
Druid
Along with the Assassin, the Druid was added to Diablo 2 with the Lord of Destruction expansion. A lot of fans refer to him as the most well-rounded class in the game. On the other hand, the rest of the community deems Druids useless in the long run. There is some truth to both statements. Diablo 2’s Druids are, in fact, the most versatile class in the game. They have the conjuring abilities usually associated with necromancers, combat spells comparable to those of the Sorceress, and they are quite skilled when it comes to using swords and maces. They also have the unique ability to shapeshift into a werewolf or a werebear.
Most of the popular Druid builds focus on that skill in one way or another, whether it be a Rabies Werewolf (werewolf that primarily uses the Rabies skill), or a Maul Bear (werebear with Maul as his primary attack). There are alternatives, such as the Natural Summoner or Beastmaster, that focus on summoning creatures and backing them up with melee weapon attacks.
It is worth noting that while one can successfully master the Druid class, his magical and summoning abilities are significantly worse than those of the Sorceress and Necromancer, respectively. Such is the price of versatility. For players who want to dabble in a little bit of everything, though, the Druid is the best class for a jack-of-all-trades type of build.
3
Necromancer
The Necromancer class is the most suitable one for players who are new to isometric ARPGs. The game allows Necromancers to summon skeletons from the start, laying down the groundwork for following the path of a Summonmancer build, one of the most powerful builds in all of Diablo 2. Once levelled up enough, the necromancer will have the potential to create a true army of the undead that will handle most of the dirty combat work.
There is also nothing stopping you from taking the alternative route and creating a Novamancer build. It relies less on summoning creatures, but rather on the Poison Nova skill that creates a poison ring around the character, dealing damage to all enemies reckless enough to get close. Finally, all Necromancer builds will benefit from a few points invested in the Corpse Explosion spell — as one of the most overpowered spells in the entire game, it is extremely helpful when clearing out some of the more crowded dungeons.
2
Sorceress
The Sorceress is an incredibly powerful class, and one of the most entertaining ones to play as. This is because of her versatile magic skill trees, which branch out to three spell categories: Fire, Lightning, and Cold. Their clear distinction into three elemental types of magic makes build-creation a very straightforward affair even for complete ARPG noobs.
Sorceress builds based around a single element can deal substantial damage even in the final acts of Diablo 2. Whether it’s the Fire Ball Sorceress or Cold-focused Frozen Orb Sorceress, this class makes for the perfect first playthrough choice. Advanced players who want to wreak havoc in the online mode might want to experiment with builds like the Blizzball Sorceress (Fire Ball + Frozen Orb), or take another route altogether and try their luck as the Melee Sorceress.
1
Paladin
The Paladin is the epitome of a “video game good guy”. As such, many players may find using him to be quite a boring ordeal, but in fact, he is the most powerful one out of all playable Diablo 2 classes. The Paladin has access to a variety of magical and melee skills. On top of that, he is also adept at using ranged weapons, although if that is your preferred playstyle, then the Amazon would be a much better choice.
The most popular Paladin build by far is the Hammerdin. It deals insanely high damage thanks to a lot of points invested in the Blessed Hammer skill and the associated Vigor and Blessed Aim abilities. On top of that, the Holy Shield perk ensures that the Paladin does not take too much damage when fighting off large groups of enemies at a time.
