I'm not familiar with AoC unfortunately, so i cannot really be of much help there.

But by default it will announce logons and logoffs automatically. However if memory serves, it will only do so for someone after they have spoken in guild chat.

Also note that StartDebugBot.bat is handy because it will keep the cmd window from closing automatically on errors, making debugging easier, but once the bot is working as it should you should start it with StartBot.php

The fact that it pauses means that the script has stopped running for some reason (ie it is not online).

Both StartBot.bat and StartDebugBot.bat are wrappers for windows that call StartBot.php

If you cannot get the bot to start at all, did you make any changes at all?
You can try changing logging level in php.ini from E_ERROR to E_ALL, although all fatal errors should be displayed with E_ERROR

It cannot open your conf/Bot.conf again. Did you move it or change it's permission? Are you trying to start the bot from outside the C:\BeBot\ directory?

It's important that you are inside the BeBot directory when executing the script as it uses relative paths.

If you are certain you are inside the directory, then it is likely some permission issue of sorts. It's very odd in any case. Not sure how much help i can be on this unfortunately as it appears to be an OS side issue.

Are you sure you did not create a <Botname>.Bot.conf file?

It doesnt really matter what the file contains if your operating system is telling PHP the file does not exist :\

You will know if one exists in your conf/ directory.... where <botname> is the name of your bot.

In any case, if your Bot.conf contents "vanished" into thin air, there is something very strange going on with your operating system.

i checked the conf file and found that the info i put in like guild name and stuff wasnt there, i wrote it in and i get the same error message.

That reads like contents vanished to me.

In any case, i'm afraid i can't be of any more help on this. Your operating system is telling PHP that ./conf/Bot.conf does not exist. Why that is, is beyond me since you claim that ./conf/Bot.conf does exist.

Hope this isnt off topic, but i first had the problem called out in this post.  Once I moved the php files to the BeBot folder I made it past that step.

now I get the error :
Curl extension loaded

Fatal error: Call to a member function log() on a non-object in C:\Program Files
\Funcom\Age of Conan\BeBot\Sources\MySQL.php on line 164

Any hints on how to solve?
