chazbot (Bots)

I got the taste for coding again (phew :) For all those interested in
attributing ideas please let me know via my email addy petrossa at msn.com. Presently i am working on adding many database search/editing/deleting functions. My present effort is geared towards easing the purging of redundant entries in the user database (based on several queries), building a customizeable database interface,allowing the enduser to fully customize most database interface screens to the level of adding/editing/deleting displayed fields on every database UI. Also i am very interested in any effort anyone is prepared to make in cleaning up the Interworld/Universe relay part of the bot. As a reminder: Chazbot through a TCP/IP mechanism allows all Chazbot's anywhere to interconnect and in so doing allows any world in any universe which supports Chazbot to relay local chat,global chat, whisper and remote control to any other Chazbot depending on the userlevel as defined by the target Chazbot instance. Chazbot doesnt require any separate instance for doing this, if you run Chazbot as a Gatekeeper you can implement relaying without needing a separate bot instance. Same goes for the Greeter, Weather, Touring and Lighting bot They are all run through 1 bot instance thereby relieving the bot load on your world. Needless to say if you activate all functions Chazbot does put a big drain on your puter's resources.... Chazbot can also be run as a multi-user bot, meaning that Chazbot can keep track of all entries in any world/universe, tracking any name people use. The only restriction now is that Chazbot can not keep track of world names spread about diverse universes. So if there is a world NUDNIK in universe AW and a world NUDNIK in universe CW Chazbot cant keep track of the same name through the worlds. To it NUDNIK is NUDNIK regardless of universe and it will divert all relays to the first instance of NUDNIK it finds. This is not a software limitation but an imposed limitation by me to keep a balance between speed and accountability. Depending on demand i can add an AI type of chatbot, an IRQ interface or a Babelfish interface so AW chat gets rerouted through a translator site. Obviously results will depend heavily on the translator engine selected. :) This is just a general view of possibilites, if you have any kind of wish let me know... |
