I probably should have made this guide it's own post a long time ago.
This guide is for Cuppa Gauntlet & Cuppa Corrupted Gauntlet.
General tips for a smooth experience:
The default settings are a good starting place! From there, the below are some of the most useful settings modifications.
- Try the "Recommend Settings Optimizations" button in the bot, and try to use some of it's advice if it seems useful!
- Enable Direct Input (strongly recommended), or at least Hopping Mouse
- Direct Input allows the bot to execute actions much more reliably & quickly. There has been no conclusive evidence of increased ban risk from direct input.
- If you really don't want to use DI or Hopping Mouse, at LEAST enable 3x mouse speed in RuneMate settings (gear icon)
- Enable the GPU plugin on RuneLite
- It takes a lot of pressure of the CPU and makes bots run smoother
- Disable essentially all other Runelite plugins
- Many plugins can interfere with bots
- You can make a separate profile on Runelite with your current plugins saved, for using when not botting
- Ensure your stats are reasonable for CG
- The Wiki recommends 85+ Combat stats, 77 Prayer & Rigour/Augury
- I'd prioritize high Ranged (or Magic if using 5:1 & Staff priority), ideally high Prayer & Rigour/Augury, high HP/Def. Att/Str don't matter as much).
Feel free to test using the trial version of the bot so you don't get charged while testing.
Experiencing any lag or idling in the bot?
The bot should not be idling much, and any significant delays between actions are probably lag (either PC, RuneMate, or network side). Some notes/ideas for improving performance:
- The bot is fairly resource intensive, so sometimes it can just be PC specs unfortunately (and the bot has trouble running quick on laptops due to heat throttling)
- Enabling GPU plugin and Direct Input will make the bot more responsive
- Ensure reasonable FPS (30fps+), Ping (50ms-), and CPU/RAM usage aren't spiking too much
- You may consider closing background programs
- If you have a powerful PC, 3rd party software may be throttling Runemate (eg. antiviruses like McAfee, and firewalls/VPNs/optimization software may throttle performance)
- On Mac, a feature called "App Nap" may be reducing resources to windows that are not focused
If the bot says there was "lag calculating tiles":
This is caused by RuneMate/RuneLite or general PC lag. Please see above section for dealing with lag. Note: "lag calculating tiles" messages are always due to PC/RuneMate Client lag (eg. client side performance. Network)Having any persistent issues with the bot?
First, please try the above tips, and always test using the trial so you don't get charged. Restarting OSRS & RuneMate fixes many temporary issues with bots.If the issue persists or this doesn't help, please DM CuppaJava a log (found in Help > View Logs) along with info on what the bot is doing wrong, what it should be doing instead, and what circumstances it seems to happen.
Or feel free to join the Cuppa Bots Discord Server!
