QuickStart & Client Updates

[Dionysus 0]

I'd like to use QuickStart for 100% of my DreamBot interactions. From what I understand, I must run DBLauncher in order to update the client.

Is it at all possible to download the client.jar directly so that I may skip ever opening the launcher?

Thank you.

You do not use the launcher for Quickstart, you launch the Client instead

Use the launcher when you just want to update or when you're not using quickstart and you're good to go

Personally I run the launcher when I notice my bots are out of date, but it's the only manual thing I have to do.

You could log the URL when the client downloads the new jar.

Solid idea. Could monitor - but if it's not an officially published URL I'd be a bit concerned it may change in the future. Or, more likely - the version is probably in the filename which would change the source every update. I'll check though.

Yes, correct (Although that took me some time to figure out! Was not obvious)

My question is can I avoid using the launcher entirely? I plan to have this 100% automated with scripts. Currently my plan is to run the launcher every time and perhaps have a delay - or monitor the logs if possible - and then kill the launcher and then run the client. But if I can just download the client jar directly every time that'd be easier.

@Pandemic Any options here that can avoid using the launcher entirely?

Another option is that because the client is downloaded to the same location each time, you could run DBLauncher.jar via cmd or terminal at a set time, say using a cron job or scheduled task. That way they're always updated.

I put it in my script to launch them, first it runs the launcher and waits a minute, ends the task and then initializes the clients. It usually only takes <5 seconds to update but 1 minute is just in case.

Do you need VIP to fully utilize QuickStart/CLI? I can't seem to auto launch scripts with mine, it can add the accounts to the account db but not use them.
