I see so many people who want to know how to edit their pindle scripts to do pindle only, or to change spells. this is going to go over all of that, and only that. if you cant figure out how to use this bot in the first place, please stop reading...now.
OK lets get started. In the JED folder you'll see a folder called javascripts, open it and youll find a bunch of scripts. im going to assume that your using a sorc (it really doesent matter this'll be the same for all the scripts pretty much) open up the script you want to edit in notepad, ill use the script AA_pindlesorc for this.
when you open it at the top you'll see this:
// =====================================================================
// Configurable Sorceress Pindle Script with Randomization
var version = "0.93a RC2";
// Last Updated: 8:17 AM 1/4/2003
// Designed for JED
// Author: Avarice and Aennor

#include<include/enchantments.jed>
#include<include/SmartSleep.jed>
#include<include/colorlog.jed>
Print(CBrown + "Loading settings for " + COrange + Player.Name + CBrown + ".");
// Do not change these
var defenses = new Array();
var defensestotal = 0;
var skipthese = new Array();
var skiptotal = 0;
var eldritch_attack_seq = new Array();
var eldritchattacktotal = 0;
var shenk_attack_seq = new Array();
var shenkattacktotal = 0;
var pindle_attack_seq = new Array();
var pindleattacktotal = 0;
var zombie_attack_seq = new Array();
var zombieattacktotal = 0;
^ignore this this isint what you need to edit.
right under that youll see this:

these are very detailed instructions on how to edit the script. they are very good and will tell you anything you dont understand (most people cant work the bot because they didnt bother to read the damn README!)
REMEMBER: true/1 = yes, false/0 =no
ok right under that is the good stuff, the editable stuff, the fun stuff.
var heal_life = 800;
var heal_mana = 700;
var rest_mana = 5;
var health_chicken = 225;
var mana_check = true;
var mana_chicken = 5;
var UseEnchantments = false;
var EnchantmentsShow = true;
SkipEnchantment("Conviction", 1);
SkipEnchantment("Fanaticism", 1);
SkipEnchantment("Lightning Enhanced", 1);
this sets it so you heal at malah when you enter a game with less then 800 life, and 700 mana. you will chicken the run with under 5 mana and 225 life. (mana check would use a mana potion) then it tells you weather you want to use enchantments, if there a bad enchantment, IE lightning enchanted, it will skip the run, this part of the example script is NOT using the enchantments.
DefensiveSpell("Frozen Armor", 1, 0, 700);
DefensiveSpell("Thunder Storm", 1, 0, 700);
EldritchAttack("Static Field", 2, 10, 500);
EldritchAttack("Nova", 2, 10, 500);
var eldritch_repeat_after = 1;
ShenkAttack("Static Field", 2, 10, 500);
ShenkAttack("Nova", 8, 10, 500);
ShenkAttack("Static Field", 3, 10, 500);
ShenkAttack("Nova", 2, 10, 500);
var shenk_repeat_after = 2;
PindleAttack("Frozen Orb", 2, 10, 750);
PindleAttack("Static Field", 2, 10, 500);
PindleAttack("Frozen Orb", 1, 10, 750);
PindleAttack("Nova", 2, 10, 500);
var pindle_repeat_after = 2;
ZombAttack("Nova", 2, 10, 500);
these are your spells, if you want to change a spell go here to get the correct formatting of the name of it
http://jed.diabloworld.com/mpq.htm ok if you only want to do pindle then only edit the PindleAttack spells and defensive spells. if you have no defensive spells then remove that part of the script. (IF YOU DONT HAVE A DEFENSIVE SKILL THAT IS ON THE SCRIPT YOU WILL GET CONNECTION INTURRUPTED UPON ENTERING RED PORTAL) ok was that easy enough? probably not but if you dont get it read that box with the ///'s around it itll explain it.
var reposition = true;
var use_merc = true;
var merc_heal = true;
var merc_chicken = 50;
var potionType = "Full Rejuv Potion";
var repair_level = .3;
reposition helps the bot position you to optimum killing range.
use merc is weather you want to have a merc or not (set to false if you dont want one) if you want to heal your merc with a potion from your belt then its true. the number below it tells the bot when to use a potion for hte mercinary.
var potionType = "Full Rejuv Potion"; tells the bot that if there is space in the belt it should pick up any full rejuvis. the next is repair level (buggy doesent repair)
var doEldritchRun = false;
var doShenkRun = false;
var doPindleRun = true;
var doZombieRun = false;
that makes it only do pindle, which is what everyone wants.
thats the end of editable things, unless your a good scripter, in which case you wouldent be reading this.
you need lightning resist to do pindle, it helps. I recomend using an act one merc with skullders shako and a cruel bow, so it gets lightning arrow. I use tals armor, belt, and ammy (good resistances, and +skills) and occy, rhyme sheild, and shako. war travs, chance guards, and 2x occy rings. lots of MF and life charms. I never die. i do get levels from pindle. post questions/comments/corrections (hey its 4 AM i might have messed up) below.
