FAQ:

  • Does the bot work on katura?

    • Yes, but also no. It works, but the website is really slow, and you need to crank up the delay.

      I recommend settings like:

      • delay: 15
      • sort colors by: size 9-0 (so it draws the bulk first)
      • onTimeDelay: yes
      • onTimeDelayMultiplyer: 0.6 (this makes it really slow but work)
      • fast: yes
      • line save: yes

      feel free to suggest other settings

  • It draws outside the boundary and/or not in the right spot

    • Make sure that Make everything bigger and scale and layout in windows is set to 100%. (Settings -> System -> Display -> Scale and layout)

  • I have the error Error: Could not find MIME for Buffer

    • Make sure that you have a valid image selected. valid image rules are:
      • your/path/to/image.png(.jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .bmp, See all supported formats)
      • http(s)://example.com/image.png (only works if the website allows it)
      • data:image/png;base64,<your base 64 data>
    • In 99.99% of cases you can rightclick an image in google and click copy image address and paste it into the Image field.

  • I have a "ConnectionError" please fix.

    • Is the server running? Since version 3.11.0 it tells you that in the console
    • Since version 3.15.2 it tells you that in the GUI

  • Where is the position override?

    • The functionality of it has not been implemented in the GUI, yet.

  • The override position works like this:

    • press the override button.
    • Move the mouse to the top left corner where you want to override the position to.
    • Click.
    • Move the mouse to the bottom right corner where you want to override the position to.
    • Click.
    • The bot will now only draw in the new defined area.
    • Reset by pressing the reset button.
