Once the bot executable is selected, type in the names of each of your bots you will be running. The name you use here does not matter, it's a profile name for your own recognition. I use the lord name for my profiles. Type in the profile name, click the Add button, and repeat for each bot you will be running.

For the first time running, you will need to enter the login details for each account in the bot window. After this first time, they will be auto-entered for you. Just like in the normal YAEB setup, you can check "Auto run" in the bot window to have the bot automatically load and run goals upon login and "Auto login" in the bot window to have the bot automatically connect to Evony upon startup. "Window title" in the bot window will be the text displayed in your task bar as well as in a tooltip if you hover over an icon of a bot minimized to the system tray, I recommend you use the lord name for this also.

You can also stop (close) or restart each bot one at a time or multiple at once the same way as Running them, using the Stop and Restart buttons.

'''Q: What are the Binary Manager and Director? Are they bots?'''

A ''binary'' is just a program compiled to run on your computer... NeatBot.exe is a binary - or binary bot, as we like to call it. Both the Binary Manager and the Binary Director are programs that will allow you to setup profiles for each binary bot you would normally run. With these profiles you can start, stop, restart, and even set the bots to auto-run. The Manager/Director itself is not a bot, you will need to download the binary bot also.
  
−
If you would like the Binary Manager to restart bots that get closed automatically, and to run them automatically when it is first started, select one or more profiles and click the Autorun button. You can select multiple profiles at once by holding CTRL while you click each, or select a group at once by holding SHIFT and clicking on the top one and the bottom one in the group.

''Hint: You can setup your bots to automatically run after a computer reboot by dragging and dropping a shortcut to the Manager into your Windows startup folder (Start -> All Programs -> Startup) and setting the profiles to Autorun in the Manager.''

'''Q: Is the Binary Manager or Director required to use the binary bots?'''
  
−
[[image:Autorun.png]]
+
No. You are free to run and use the bots without either of them, but if you run multiple accounts or servers, this will be very helpful to you. If you're not going to use the Manager or Director, you should keep a seperate folder for each account and/or server, so that when you run the NeatBot.exe you will not have to type in the login details each time. If using the Manager or Director, you're able to keep only 1 folder for all accounts to share.

If you're getting a message from the Binary Manager that it needs .NET Framework 4 installed, go to [http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851 http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851] and download it.

This is super easy and why they are a great idea to use with multiple accounts. For the Manager or Director, download the new version and drop it into the folder where the old one is, allow the new version to overwrite the old one, restart it. For the Manager only you can also opt to run the auto-updater to allow it to download the updates for you. Future versions of the Manager are planned to update themselves automatically.

To update to a new NeatBot.exe, download the new version, shutdown all your currently running bots, and drop it in the folder.

Maybe. The Manager itself does not save your goals, all it does is help you to manage the bots you run. If you're updating from an older browser (autoevony.swf) version or an older YAEB.exe version to a newer YAEB.exe version, you may have to redo your goals the first time. After that one time, you will find they save even through server merges or location changes on your hard-drive.

You need to turn on the Manager or Director in order to launch your bots if they're not currently running. Afterwards you can close it or leave it running, your choice.

FAQ for the Manager and Director

Q: What are the Binary Manager and Director? Are they bots?

A binary is just a program compiled to run on your computer... NeatBot.exe is a binary - or binary bot, as we like to call it. Both the Binary Manager and the Binary Director are programs that will allow you to setup profiles for each binary bot you would normally run. With these profiles you can start, stop, restart, and even set the bots to auto-run. The Manager/Director itself is not a bot, you will need to download the binary bot also.


Q: Is the Binary Manager or Director required to use the binary bots?

No. You are free to run and use the bots without either of them, but if you run multiple accounts or servers, this will be very helpful to you. If you're not going to use the Manager or Director, you should keep a seperate folder for each account and/or server, so that when you run the NeatBot.exe you will not have to type in the login details each time. If using the Manager or Director, you're able to keep only 1 folder for all accounts to share.

If you're getting a message from the Binary Manager that it needs .NET Framework 4 installed, go to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851 and download it. The Manager needs the files from that in order to run on your computer. The Binary Director will not need these files.

This is super easy and why they are a great idea to use with multiple accounts. For the Manager or Director, download the new version and drop it into the folder where the old one is, allow the new version to overwrite the old one, restart it. For the Manager only you can also opt to run the auto-updater to allow it to download the updates for you. Future versions of the Manager are planned to update themselves automatically.

To update to a new NeatBot.exe, download the new version, shutdown all your currently running bots, and drop it in the folder. Run the Binary Manager or Director and click the "Change" button at the bottom [see Setup above] and select the new NeatBot.exe you just downloaded.

You can close bots by clicking the "x" on the top right corner of their windows if you wish, or you can close them through the Manager or Director interface.
