Templates

A template is a saved copy of an account’s settings. Use templates to set up many accounts the same way: set up one account, save it as a template, then apply the template to the others. A special template, default.json, decides the settings every new account starts with.

To compare templates with Quick Settings and Global Settings, see Which tool to use.

Create a template #

Templates are made from an account you have already set up.

1. Open the account’s window (double-click it in the account grid).
2. Click Functions, then Create Template.
3. Type a name in Template Name:.
4. Under Include:, tick the settings pages to put in the template. Select All? ticks them all. The pages are General, Gems / Coins, Protection, Cargo Ship, Supply, Army, Gathering, Talents, Rallies, Familiars, Buildings, Monsters, Artifacts, Research, Guild Fest, Hero Stages, Colosseum, Equipment, Schedule, Realm, Exchange, Chaos Arena and Solo Battlefield.
5. Choose how unticked pages behave with Set Unchecked to Default? (explained in the next section).
6. Click Confirm. The bot shows Template Created Successfully!

If a template with that name already exists, the bot asks whether to overwrite it.

Set Unchecked to Default? #

• Not ticked (most common): the template only changes the pages you included. When you apply it, every other page on the target account stays as it is.
• Ticked: the template holds every page. Pages you did not include are saved with the bot’s default values, so applying the template resets those pages on the target account.

What a template never copies #

A template does not store the account’s proxy, its chosen heroes for stages, Colosseum and monster hunting, or its saved gear sets. When you apply a template, each account also keeps its own proxy, gear sets, monster hunting heroes, Taiwan server choice, chat bot assignment and guild stats options.

Apply a template #

1. Tick the accounts in the grid.
2. Click Templates on the ribbon and click the template’s name.
3. Confirm the message Are you sure you want to apply the selected template […].

You can also highlight rows, right-click and use Templates. In that case the template goes to the highlighted rows instead of the ticked ones.

Running accounts pick up the new settings straight away.

Edit a template #

Click Templates > Template Editor. The editor looks like the account Settings tab.

1. Pick the template in Selected Template:.
2. Change the settings.
3. Click Save Template.

To control which pages the template changes, tick Specific Settings Only?. A Template Settings list appears. Tick the pages the template should apply; the other pages are greyed out and won’t be applied. Untick Specific Settings Only? to make the template apply every page.

If you have no templates yet, the editor shows You need to create a Template before attempting to use the editor.

Settings for new accounts (default.json) #

The Templates folder holds a file called default.json. The bot creates it when it starts. Whenever an account needs a new settings file (a new or imported account, or one whose settings file is missing or can’t be read), its settings are copied from default.json.

• To change the starting settings for new accounts, pick default.json in the Template Editor, change it and click Save Template.
• default.json is not shown in the Templates list, so you can’t apply it to accounts by mistake.

The templates folder #

Templates > Open Folder opens the Templates folder of your install. Templates are .json files. You can copy templates in from a friend, back them up, or delete them here. The Templates list updates as soon as files are added or removed; you don’t need to restart.
