Bot Manager 2.0.3

2.0.3 Changes

• Single Instance Protection: Implemented a Windows Mutex check to prevent multiple windows of the program from running simultaneously.

Bot Manager 2.0.2

2.0.2 Changes

• Focus Stealing: Bots now launch in the background. The Manager window remains active and focused when starting OpenKore instances.

Bot Manager 2.0.1

2.0.1 Changes

Environment & Compatibility

• Forced Legacy Console: The program now detects if it is running inside the modern Windows Terminal. If detected, it automatically relaunches itself using the legacy Windows Console Host (conhost.exe).
• UI Stability: This change ensures UI consistency and prevents layout or scaling issues caused by the Windows Terminal's dynamic rendering.

Configuration & Setup

• Automatic Settings Generation: Integrated an "Ensure Settings Exist" feature.
• Self-Healing: If BotManagerConfig.ini is missing or empty, the program automatically generates a new one with pre-defined sections ([Settings] and [Interface]) and helpful documentation comments.

Persistence

• Improved INI Handling: Now uses standard Windows API methods to read and write settings, making the configuration process more robust and less prone to errors.

Bot Manager 2.0.0

2.0.0 - The C++ Rewrite

This is a major update that transitions the project from a Batch-based script to a native C++ implementation. This rewrite provides significant improvements in performance, stability, and process detection.

Major Changes

• Native C++ Implementation: Migrated from Batch to C++17 for a faster and more responsive experience.
• Improved Process Detection: Replaced legacy detection methods with Windows API calls for precise identification of bot instances.
• New UI: Introduced a multi-column grid dashboard that automatically adjusts to your window size.
• Persistent Settings: Added .ini file support to remember window position and configuration between sessions.

Assets Included

• BotManager.exe: The standalone compiled program.
• Source Code: Full project files for transparency and custom builds.

Quick Start

1. Download BotManager-2.0.0-Windows-x64-portable.zip from the Assets section below.
2. Extract BotManager.exe, BotManagerConfig.ini, and BotManagerPaths.txt in your OpenKore directory. DO NOT FORGET TO READ THE README.txt FIRST.
3. Ensure you have a BotManagerPaths.txt file with your bot folder paths listed (one per line).
4. Note: If your bots are configured to run as Administrator, the Manager must also be run as Administrator to detect their status.

Antivirus Note

Due to the change to native code and the use of memory inspection APIs, this version may be flagged by antivirus software as a false positive.

• As this is an open-source project, you can review the source code in this repository to verify that the logic is used only for process identification.
• If the program is blocked, add the executable or its folder to your antivirus exclusion list.
