Account Window Overview
Each account has its own window with its settings, game data and log. Here is how it is laid out and how to move around it.
The Account Window shows everything about one account: its settings, its live game data and its log. Use it to change an account’s settings, check what it is doing, or do something by hand in the game.
Opening the window
On the main window, double-click an account in the account grid, or select it and press Enter. Clicks on the selection tick box and the Auto Start column don’t open it.
Opening the window does not start the account. Use Start in the window (or on the main window) for that.
Note: If your licence has expired, you get “Your License Has Expired” instead of the window.
How the window is laid out
- Top bar: buttons for the whole window (see Top bar).
- Side bar on the left, titled Account: the account’s details, its proxy and the Player Stats and Guild Stats buttons. See Side Bar.
- Tabs across the main area: one page for each part of the account (see Tabs).
The window title shows the player name, the server time in square brackets while the account is online, and the bot’s current action after a |.
Top bar
From left to right:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Side bar toggle (icon only) | Hides or shows the side bar. |
| Save | Saves this account’s settings, Guild Bank settings and Manage Guild settings to disk. The log shows “Current Configuration Saved”. |
| Functions | Opens a menu of account tools: rename, templates, access key, binds and more. See Functions Menu (Account Window). |
| Start | Starts the account. Greyed out while the account is running. |
| Stop | Stops the account. Greyed out while the account is stopped. |
| Previous | Shows the account above this one in the grid. It does not start it. |
| Next | Shows the account below this one in the grid. It does not start it. |
Note: Settings changes take effect straight away, but they are only kept after you close Lords Bot if you click Save. You can also save many accounts at once from the main window’s Functions menu.
Keyboard shortcuts
These work while the Account Window is the active window.

| F10 or ` (the key left of 1) | Save |

Closing the window with the X also only hides it. The account keeps running.

Tabs while the account is offline
While the account is not connected, every tab except Log, Settings and Guild is greyed out. If you are on one of the other tabs when the account goes offline, the window switches back to Log.
Log tab
The Log tab lists everything the bot does on this account, plus any errors. Before the account signs in it shows “Awaiting Login…”.
Controls on the tab:
- Clear Log: empties the log.
- Auto Scroll: keeps the newest line in view. This is one setting for all accounts.
- Debug: also shows debug lines for the account you are viewing. Turn it on when support asks for a debug log. It switches off again when you restart Lords Bot.
To copy lines, select them and press Ctrl+C. The text is copied without colour codes. Ctrl+A selects every line.
Keeping the log
Normally the log is cleared when the account reconnects. Two options in Settings > General change this:
- Don’t Clear Log Output: keeps the log across reconnects, up to the latest 1,000 lines.
- Save Log to File: also writes the log to a file.
