A few times I've been asked to share these so I've decided I will for the good of the people.

Over the months I've created a few notepads that usually solve certain errors or teach people how to do things on the website.

Please feel free to make use of these around the forums or in the chatbox; if and when I'm absent from the scene.

 

P.S. Even if I am there, feel free to use them ^^

 

Adding & Downloading Scripts

 

Complete guide to Downloading the Client and adding scripts here;

 

http://osbot.org/forum/topic/4443-pictureshow-to-download-the-client-and-add-scripts-both-local-sdnvideo/

 

If you want to add a local script, find one you like from; http://osbot.org/forum/forum/10-local-scripts/

And follow the tutorial on how to add them!

For scripts from the store or the free script repository, no download is required, once you click the 'add' button, they're instantaneously added to your account and available for usage once you have successfully logged into the client

 

Finding your scripts folder and adding local scripts

 

Where to find Scripts (local);

 

C: > Users > Your User > OSbot > Scripts.

 

Or

 

Or use the 'Start button' and search for OSbot, then double click the scripts folder.

 

The fix for when one cannot save an account to the client

 

How to fix not being able to save accounts & 'Error Loading Settings'

 

Delete the 'local.dat' file located in your OSbot folder under data.

To find your OSbot folder;

 

C: > Users > Your User > OSbot

 

OR

 

Or use the 'Start button' and search for OSbot

 

Usually fixes the 'Loading Remote Scripts' error (Note: JDK doesn't necessarily do anything, but it may help)

 

Try downloading these versions of JRE & JDK;

 

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html

 

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

 

If the problem still persists try deleting all your scripts and adding them one at a time until it loads.

If you still have problems, delete your OSbot folder and client and redownload

 

Awaiting User Input & Failed to log in

 

http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp  <----- Should NOT be used currently, because OSbot is not compatible with Java 8.

 

Will usually fix either of these.

If it doesn't then a Super moderator or Administrator will have to manually fix the problem.

 

 

 

        Other useful things

 

• http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp <--- Will usually fix 70% of  client-based problems - <----- Should NOT be used currently, because OSbot is not compatible with Java 8.
• http://osbot.org/forum/topic/37748-login-error-fix-read-here/ - For when Java and file removal will not suffice
• http://itemdb.biz/ - For when people ask for Item ID's
• Deleting your OSbot folder can fix a lot of issues; but unless you backup your scripts, you'll lose them (Local)
• OSbot is currently NOT compatible with Java 8, so updating to the newest Java will not suffice, members need this version;  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html In order to run the bot.
• Deleting the 'local.dat' file under 'Data' in your 'OSbot' folder, will solve 'Failed to load client settings' and several log in issues as well as, not being able to save accounts.

 

 

NOTE: If you're going to use the links, make sure to right click them and select 'Copy Link Address' otherwise it will just copy the text, which will not work since the URL has been shortened.

 

I hope this helps!  Especially those of who you like myself, answer the same questions and try to fix the same bugs multiple times a day

 

Yours Sincerely

You input the details and then click save.

I already deleted that and i'm doing exactly what you just said...it's not working

That's very very strange, you're the first person to still not be able to save accounts.

What exactly happens when you try? I assume once you click save nothing happens or?

Perhaps when you reload the client your data is no longer stored?

 

Also before you're trying to save the account, you are clicking on  beforehand aren't you?

 

Otherwise it will be trying to sava the data into a non-existent entity.
