I told you I will do it, just give more detail.

(BTW Grimble, how do you know what kind of job I will do? I've only made
one bot and you critisize me for it. I did a great job on this bot as some
tell me, I just would like to know why you say this about me.)

Hi,

[View Quote] Simple, run multiple bots. There were 3 "Shadows" in the original.

>i want an RPG thats has moneters you ptu and when you click on them
> you attack them....

The monsters appear - you have the choice to fight ("click on them") or
runaway.

>there would be diefrent groups like Wizrads and stuff

You can modify the script for that - the original actually has wizards
and special quests for powerful healing items and anything else you
want. Free healing is gained by potions etc etc

This is where you run into problems. To actually design something
specific that works well takes a lot of time and effort. You really need
to do it yourself. My scripts try and point people into this line of
work, hopefully they provide all the basic stuff you need in a script
and thus one can add multiples/duplicates/additions to tailor something
to your own needs.

The script on the web page took me over 2 weeks to cut it down from the
original so I could distribute it for others to use and still most
people avoid it because of the amount of work involved in setting it up.
The original would be a nightmare for someone to setup - you have
something like 16 bots, runs across multiple worlds, quests and random
adventures to complete. It all adds up to a similar thing like AD&D
where the character eventually gains the skills and equipment to defeat
the final enemy. Unfortunately you just cant distribute a set of scripts
like this, there are so many variables.

Not having a go at you or anything, I actually hope you pursue this as
one of my dreams for aw for the last few years has been to see a really
good AD&D style world setup with a multitude of bots runnning various
adventures and providing all the necessary stuff for someone to play. I
would love to see a world in which this was done.

I admit it, I gave up. The adventure consumed me for months in scripting
(there were various versions) and all I ended up doing was having no-one
around to help me. So I packed it all in. (Later to release the public
script in the hopes someone would take it up). I strongly advise you,
get people to help you with stuff. This sort of project can really only
succeed with a lot of work.

Unfortunately everything I have done since follows a complicated script
setup. I would like to provide more of my scripts to the public but
really - they are an absolute bitch to setup from scratch. :(

i actualy already set-up your script but its just lying on my hard
drive....i didnt know you could run more then one bot and if many poeple
were fighting i could pssobly add more Monster bots also....then just get
rid of the time limit or make i longer...i think i could add more diferent
kinds of shops posibley by copieng one and changing it.....hmm thanks for
the help Who and im thinking of devoting my world (A'Dude) to this since its
practily empty rgiht now...this could actualy be a pretty sucessful project
noe that i think of all this stuff

"simple"...NO!!!!!!!...i ran 3 copies of the Shadow bot... (3 shadows, 6
Monsters) but all of the Shadows interfere when you say "start adbenture" or
anything else....i edited the scripts to use only 2 of the 6 monsters and
even tried to have only one Shadow wait (any other idle ones got exited)
(not including the ones alreayd in a game) and if another shadow got done to
exit....then if a shaodw started a game have it log in an exited idle
shadow...(get it lol)

well...i dont have very much experiance on scripts so basicly what it did
after the chnages was log off each other from the stand-alone server i was
using until they finaly stopped then all of the shadows were still there

sooo...ether someone fix this for me to make it run a multipe number of
Shadows with their 2 monster bots listening to them....or i get another bot
(which no one really knows of any other RPGbot)

P.S. i'd like to try the "original" if you still have it....that one sounds
MUCH better.....this one is just to simple and boring really

If you don't want me to make one tell me, or else tell me what it should do.

May 8, 2001, 9:19pm
opps...i totally forgot about you lol.....well...do you do scripts or
Programs??? i want something like Who's actualy but...
-More then one person can play at a time....like maybe a "Shadow" (or
another name) waits and if it starts a game with someone another bot
"Shadow2" will log into the world and wait for the next player (comunicate
trhough the stand-alone server)
-The monster bots- You create 1 (or 2 if needed) Monster bots per "Shadow"
(Shadow calls on it when a fight is started) OR- A certain number of moster
bots that can be used by all SHadow bots (this way would require less bots
on at one time)
-Abilty to chnage you "Shadow"s name (bot chnages its name to what the user
previsuly chnaged it to when it starts a game again) and the same for the
avatar
-List the kinds of mosters and thir stats and the Av for that monster that
the Moster bots go by when called by Shadow to fight (Shadow would randomly
pick a monster on the list for the moster bot to be)
-Abilty to change waepins and geep certain potions (hp, magic (revives majic
powers), maybe steroids or something lol)...and buy wepons at the
shop....perhpas make a script for each of these lists so you can customize
the wpeons and potions and list how good the are etc.. (or not)
- Join groups like Wizards, Kights, etc.. and have wepoans only those in a
group can get (ex. Wizard Wand) and groups have thier adbvantages (ex.
Kights get thir hp raised by 10 or Kights get armor raised.....Wizards get
there Magic Powers raised etc..)

And if you use Who's script as a starter make sure you take off the time
limit :)

If you dont use his script as a starter then you can look at his for more
info on how the Shadow and moster bots work

Hi,

[View Quote] rofl :)

Easy, edit the other 2 scripts and change the chat event to something
else

eg: start2 adventure, start3 adventure

Or use a control bot.... I can send you something with this in it. But
its another bot. :)

Again, look for the command phrase the shadow is saying to activate the
monsters - alter this for each group or leave it as is and rename a
couple of monsters and add/edit lines so the Shadow2 or 3 addresses them
instead of the original.

[View Quote] The original will have a lot of stuff in it you wont understand or will
complicate things :)

But I guess you can try it to have a look at the differences in the
script.

Hi,

The time limit is set with these variables at the top of the script:

%t = 60
%u = 90

Just after the script starts how the bot percieves this is run:

$start = Player
SListLoad /s_myfdata $fdata
SListGetField /s_myfdata $start %d1 $player
GetDateTime !a <---------------- current date and time
SListLoad /s_mydata1 $data1
SListGetField /s_mydata1 $player %d10 !u <-- where the players time is
in the data file
IfDateTime !a IsBefore !u GoTo times <-- checks the time and says 'nick
off' if you played to soon
AddMinutes !t !a %t <-- adds 60mins to current time, thus session will
end in 60 mins (timeout)
SetTimeout !t
AddMinutes !u !a %u <-- adds 90 to current time and saves this to the
data file - to be used for checking next time
SListSetField /s_mydata1 $player %d10 !u
SListSave /s_mydata1 $data1

So to disable it do this:

$start = Player
SListLoad /s_myfdata $fdata
SListGetField /s_myfdata $start %d1 $player
#GetDateTime !a
#SListLoad /s_mydata1 $data1
#SListGetField /s_mydata1 $player %d10 !u
#IfDateTime !a IsBefore !u GoTo times
#AddMinutes !t !a %t
#SetTimeout !t
#AddMinutes !u !a %u
#SListSetField /s_mydata1 $player %d10 !u
#SListSave /s_mydata1 $data1

All timing is now disabled :)

Hi,

[View Quote] Believe me, don't do it that way. Having the bots out of world can cause
real problems with server connects etc. It is better to have them in
world tucked away somewhere. Thats why the monsters etc were placed at
-50m (or was it -150?) altitude.

Then again, XelaG has made a lot of improvements to world and aw server
connects and disconnects since those scripts were done, so they might
work ok outside of world.

I have not noticed any problems when keeping a bot running in a universe
outside a world. Andras' statistic bot does just that. The problem can
arise when the bot tries to enter a world, if it is not running or the
connection is lousy.

You can have a bot invisible in a world too: make it leave and then bring it
back in with
Vanish
this statement exits the bot and brings it back in invisible. to make it
visible again, use
Materialize
(or Materialise, both work)
or you can use WarpLocal or any statement that moves the bot. The advantage
of having an invisible bot is that the bot can work changing objects etc,
without receiving events related to Avatars (add, change, delete, chat,
clicks). It can still query property, change it, play music, and change the
world attributes... and it won't be seen :)

[View Quote] Make sure there is no reconnect code, check that OnWorldDisconnect is
disabled before the bot leaves (it may have reconnect code in it), and
alternately, use the Vanish keyword to make it leave and enter invisible.
