bot request/addition (Bots)
bot request/addition // Bots=?iso-8859-1?q?eep=b2?=Jul 26, 1999, 9:43pm
If one of the existing bot programmers (like Faber or Ima) could add this to their bots, that'd be great. Otherwise, I guess yet another bot program. Anyway, what I want is a bot to be able to change multiple objects properties (actions/description) at certain times at the same time. For example, I want my streetlights in Hole to dim, turn off/on at certain times, simulating a day/night cycle.
Faber's Preston doesn't let me do this too easily or well so I need something more complex. Faber also doesn't seem to want to work to enhance Preston's functionality, so its development stagnates much like AW's does, which is a shame (annoying, actually). This is also why I think bot functionality should be built-in to AW instead of having to rely on external, 3rd-party developer programs. If anything, a more enhanced script language should be added to the actions to allow for SDK functionality within AW. horizonsJul 30, 1999, 7:03pm
After the long process of dechipering Eep² linguistics (The most difficult
language to dechiper for our little minds) I have come to a simple soultion written in ZonsKey linguistics! 1. Bot programmers make a seed bot that can seed and delete objects at a given locale in a world. 2. Allow the bot to be fully manipulated. (As in all features can be turned off on, changed whatever) 3. Create a simple dialog for the end user in GUI format to set a time for when an object is to be changed and what settings are to be changed (To change you would delete the old object and then seed a new one with the proper changes) 3 simple steps to fullfil the great master Eeps wishes in ZonsKey linguistics. -- Horizons "Ouch, Intelligent People hurt!" jammytoe at msn.com horizons at zons.8m.com [View Quote] jeremy bookerJul 31, 1999, 12:12am
hey, eep...insted of bitching to us about what we should do...how bout' u get a C++ compiler, and make your own freekin bots....all of this stuff u talk about is easier said than done....
