Installation

Warning!

oBot is not responsible for any ban or problem arising from the use of the bot.
By using it, you take responsibility for any risk.

Requirements

You need a computer with Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox and the Tampermonkey extension. Mobile browsers are not supported. The bot works on the Gameforge Ikariam servers (*.ikariam.gameforge.com).

Google Chrome

Tampermonkey for Chrome

Mozilla Firefox

Tampermonkey for Firefox

Install Tampermonkey from your browser store with the links above.
Chrome only: open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode at the top right and, in the Tampermonkey details, allow user scripts. Without this permission Chrome runs no userscript at all.
Open the download link https://js.obot.it/ikariam/obot-ikariam.user.js. Tampermonkey recognises the script and shows its installation page.
Press Install. From now on the script updates by itself.
Reload the Ikariam tab or enter your server: the oBot button appears at the bottom left.

Manual installation

If the browser does not open the installation page, click the Tampermonkey icon, choose Create a new script, paste the whole text of https://js.obot.it/ikariam/obot-ikariam.user.js over the template and save with Ctrl+S.

OGame and Ikariam together

The Ikariam script is not the OGame one and is installed separately: both can live in Tampermonkey. The two oBot accounts are separate (different tokens), but the same Telegram chat can receive alerts from both.

Updates

Tampermonkey checks for a new version by itself and updates the script. There is nothing to reinstall.
Before running the downloaded code, the bot compares its SHA-256 fingerprint with the one published on the server: if they differ it does not start and tells you so.

Limitations

The bot works only while a game tab is open; with several tabs open only one works.
Chrome can freeze a background tab (Memory Saver, Energy Saver): while frozen the bot is stopped. Keep the game tab in its own window and turn off both savers for the Ikariam site.
The bot handles the account and server where you started it: if you log in with another account or on another server the panel tells you and asks whether to use the bot there (Use the bot on this account).
The oBot button does not appear in the Gameforge lobby: only inside the game server.
