I downloaded the bot, but how do I open it?

[RiD]

The download is a compressed archive (a 'rar' file), you need to decompress it to access the bot's files.

If you already have a 'rar extractor' on your operating system, all you need to do to access the bot's files is double-click. If you don't have one, Google 'rar extractor' and you are sure to find a program you can use for your operating system. For windows users we recommend winRAR, available free at http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

Once you successfully extract the rar file, you should see the following files:
- jnativehook.jar
- RiD.jar

RiD.jar is the executable to run the bot, just double-click to start!

If double clicking doesn't work, make sure you have Java installed from here: http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
If you have Java installed, and double-clicking still doesn't work... right-click the executable, and select program to open with -> C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin\javaw.exe

That should be enough to fix it in most cases, but if not, try these further troubleshooting steps.

RiD, I can't see the 'Knowledgebase' under the 'Support' section.

[RiD]

It's in construction lol, will go on site shortly.

[Aufi]

Oh I see lol.

I could make some guides there aswell to save you some time. Such as how to set Vista/Windows 7 to classic theme etc.

Yeah go for it, I don't think anyone has done one yet.
That would be very helpful.

Ok, sure thing. I'm just a little bit unsure where to actually post it. Here, or in the 'Guides', under the RuneScape section?

[RiD]

Bot related guides will make their way into this section, so post here. Thanks

So, my WinRAR apparently feels that .jar files are archives, how can I run it normally rather than simply opening the file in WinRAR?

[Win]

right click, open with, java, on the bottom it should say always open with this program as default or something, check that box
