Q: Not supported any more?
A: No, sadly not. Highly repetitive and predictable runs died when Iris was removed. This together with the fact, that the new Transcendent Power speeds up your game progression a great deal, makes it even more difficult to script something even remotely decent when you have no visual cues to guide you. RIP Speed Run, 2015 -- 2016 :(
Q: I get a "Start failed (state = 0)!" warning, what's wrong?
A1: Make sure the CH browser window is at 100% zoom.
A2: In Windows, use standard 100% (96 DPI) display scaling in (32 bit) True Color
Q: The bot only level heroes 2 levels at a time, not 200, why?
A1: The bot fails to focus and Ctrl click. Usually this can be fixed by slightly re-sizing the browser window and hit Alt+F6.
Q: Why isn't the Steam client supported?
A: The Vision run utilizes the level shown in the browser client title bar. Something the Steam client lacks.
Q: Can it run in the background?
A: No. The image recognition functionality requires it to be visible at all times.
Q: The monitor power savings seems to cause issues!
A: Either use Firefox or turn the power savings off.
Q: Changing the settings files do nothing!?
A: Make sure you are NOT editing the system default settings. See the Step-by-step Guide in the README.
Q: The bot seem to miss-click, do I need to update any coordinates?
A1: If you have moved or re-sized the client window, just hit Alt+F6 and try again.
A2: Make sure the browserTopMargin
setting is correct. See the Step-by-step Guide in the README.
Q: I have focus issues, why?
A1: You need to run CH in one browser (e.g. Opera), then do your normal surfing in another (e.g. Chrome).
A2: Make sure the CH window IS NOT focused when you start a run.
A3: A trick to get focus back, is to left-click and draw some boxes on your desktop.
Q: Why do I get an error when trying to run one of the script files?
A: Make sure you have the latest version of both AutoHotkey and the bot.
Q: With saveBeforeAscending
enabled, the bot don't click save after changing the file name.
A: Change the saveButtonClassNN
setting
Q: With saveBeforeAscending
enabled, the bot changes the file name, but Windows fails to see this and tries to save with the default clickerHeroSave.txt
name.
A: Change the saveMode
setting
Q: Can the bot farm Hero Souls while I’m AFK?
A: Yes, set the autoAscend
option to true
.
Q1: Can I turn off sounds?
Q2: Can I move the text splash windows or the progress bar?
A1: Yes. Under Optional Settings, you’ll find the Look & Feel section. The monster clicker has similar settings.
Q: I just can’t get the bot to work and none of the answers above did help. What should I do?
A: Ask me on Reddit. Also link me a Pastebin with the contents of today's log file in the logs folder.
