This guide will help you install NoodleBot on Windows.

Further PHP Installation

Hint: First you should make sure you have installed PHP.

1. In the php.ini file you just edited, at the bottom of the extension list (after the text ;extension=php_xsl.dll) add the text extension=php_zip.dll.
2. Save the file as php.ini.
3. Open the ext folder. Copy the files php_bz2.dll and php_sockets.dll into the same directory as php.ini.
4. Open up your NoodleBot folder. Move php_zip.dll into the same place as the last two files you moved.

PHP installation is now finished.

NoodleBot Installation

Download

• Version 3.0: Yes, this is the most recent version of NoodleBot, but it has its problems.
• Version 2.6: NoodleBot 2.6 has caused problems with several users. But if you're up for a challenge.
• Version 2.5: If this is your first bot it is recommended that you use this version.

Configure

1. Open up the config folder. Double click on login.ini.
2. Replace username and password with your bot's username and password.
3. Replace NoodleMan with your username.

Add whatever channels you like to the channel list. Here's an example:

array (
  0 => 'botdom',
  1 => 'test',
  2 => 'thumbshare',
),

If the above is too confusing for you, don't worry. You can modify the channels your bot joins with the !chan command.

Congratulations. Your bot is ready to go! If you've run a NoodleBot before, skip ahead to further configuration. Otherwise, continue on to running your bot.

Running the bot

If you know how, set PHP files to open with php.exe, located in the PHP download. Otherwise, read further for a more in-depth explanation.

1. Right click on bot.php in the NoodleBot folder and click properties.
2. Find Opens With near the top. Click the Change button to the right.
3. Click Browse and find php.exe. It can be found in the PHP folder you downloaded.
4. Click OK, and OK again.

From now on, all you need to do to run your bot is double-click on bot.php!

Troubleshooting

The window flashes some text and closes really fast! What do I do?

Open up Notepad or WordPad. Then find and open debug.bat, located in the NoodleBot folder. Change c:\php to the path to php.exe. So if php.exe is in C:\php-5.2.2\php, the first line would read: c:\php-5.2.2\php\php.exe bot.php

Save and exit, then double click on debug.bat.

My bot starts, but quits after about a minute!

Open up php.ini, and find max_input_time. Make sure it is set to -1

Registration

When you have set up your bot, you have to register your bot on the chat network. As detailed in the link, this is done by sending an e-mail, and if the dA administrators do not reply within 48 hours, it is considered accepted. Please do not use your bot on dAmn until it is considered accepted.
