Launch bot without settings.json

[waylaidwanderer]

I'd like to be able to launch SteamBot without a settings.json file, preferably by hardcoding the settings into the program itself (probably in Program.cs).

Can anyone show me how to do this?

[waylaidwanderer]

So instead of

Configuration config = Configuration.LoadConfiguration("settings.json");            
foreach (Configuration.BotInfo info in config.Bots)
{
    // etc etc
}

I want to just hard code the info into the program. I'd only be running one bot.

            //Configuration config = Configuration.LoadConfiguration("settings.json");
            //Log mainLog = new Log(config.MainLog, null);
            //foreach (Configuration.BotInfo info in config.Bots)
           // {
               Configuration.BotInfo info = new Configuration.BotInfo();
               info.password = "lolololol"
                 //Just hardcode the config info here.
                mainLog.Info("Launching Bot " + info.DisplayName + "...");
                new Thread(() =>
                {
                    int crashes = 0;
                    while (crashes < 1000)
                    {
                        try
                        {
                            new Bot(info, config.ApiKey, (Bot bot, SteamID sid) => 
                            {
                                return (SteamBot.UserHandler)System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(info.BotControlClass), new object[] { bot, sid });
                            },iItemDatabase, true);
                        }
                        catch (Exception e)
                        {
                            mainLog.Error("Error With Bot: " + e);
                            crashes++;
                        }
                    }
                }).Start();
                Thread.Sleep(5000);
            //}

This should work. Commented out lines you wouldn't need.

You see where you wrote //Just hardcode the config info here.? That's kinda what my issue is about - this is the part I don't know...

Otherwise I wouldn't be opening this issue :P

[gamemaster1494]

...Okay. Here's an example:                     Configuration config = new Configuration();                     Configuration.BotInfo info = new Configuration.BotInfo();                     config.ApiKey = "APIKEY";                     config.MainLog = "syslog.log";                     config.Admins =                     ulong[] uAdmins = {80830303003003003,4808401840814080};                     info.Username = "USERNAME";                     info.Password = "PASSWORD";                     info.DisplayName = "DISPLAYNAME";                     info.ChatResponse = "HI";                     info.LogFile = "TestBot.log";                     info.BotControlClass = "SteamBot.UserHandler";//Check ur actual config for this                     info.MaximumTradeTime = 180;                     info.MaximumActionGap = 30;                     info.DisplayNamePrefix = "[AUTOMATED BOT] ";                     info.TradePollingInterval = 800;                     info.LogLevel = "Success";

Thanks gamemaster, that worked rather well.

And FunkyLoveCow, the reason I am doing this is to allow logging in and logging out into a different account on-the-fly, so I'm populating the config with blank settings on initialization.

[gamemaster1494]

You do realize that you can have multiple bots on one config file right? It runs them all at once.

[waylaidwanderer]

Yep. I know what I'm doing - I wrote the KeyUserHandler you're using ;)

You can just make it not run all the bots at startup, and then tell it to load a different index "on the fly." So you can still have the json file.
