Simply check the relevant box or boxes, check Verbose, and wait for the problem/error to happen again. For example, if your bot is not farming npcs and you can't figure out why, check '''Verbose''' and '''Npc Farming''' boxes and uncheck the others. '''Normal''' can remain checked, it will not affect it. The bot should describe the processes it's working through in great detail for you. Remember that the bot only performs actions in one city at a time. The city currently "in focus" may not be the one with the problem. Wait a few minutes until you see the city in question gain focus, you'll know it because there will be a lot of spam with Verbose debugging. Copy and paste this debug log with your post for help on the forums.

-Goals are where you tell the bot what you want it to do. Each city has it's own individual goals window for editing. Configurations, directives, and policies are all entered in the goals window to tell the bot what to do.

 You may "comment" out certain lines by adding a // or # at the beginning of the line. The bot will not perform any goals written on a commented line. This is a good way to remind yourself what a line does, eg:
-<blockquote>
+<blockquote><pre>
-<pre>
+// Tell my bot not to fire any hero I capture of lvl 100 or higher
-// Tell my bot not to fire any hero I capture of lvl 100 or higher<br>
+capturedfirelimit 100

+// Tell my bot to farm lvl 5 npcs
-// Tell my bot to farm lvl 5 npcs<br>
+config npc:5
-config npc:5<br>
+</pre></blockquote>
