The following is a request for a bot script or program to help me keep a
large object yard looking as neat as possible.

Working with a large object yard should be made easier with the use of a
bot. For instance, if I have a set amount of coordinates or cells to place
my objects (in other words, objects sectioned off in categories), there
should be a way for me to type in all the rwx names for that category in a
text field or retrieve from a Notepad file, load that file into the bot
program, then have a bot place the objects in the object yard for me, evenly
spaced, within the specified coordinates. I should also be able to have the
ability to have them placed by size (I can just load that information in
another text field or retrieve from a Notepad file or include it with the
file above). If I want all smaller objects to go around the perimeter of
that area, close to the walkway, and all the larger objects to go in the
middle, it should be able to do that, too. My idea is to keep these files
around, and each time there is a new addition, I can easily add it to that
list and the bot should be able to delete the area and rebuild it including
the new object or objects. The bot should also give a text report of all
the coordinates to the objects I place in the yard that is user friendly
with AW's teleports list so that I can use a tport 2 html program and
generate a teleportable list of the exact location of each object. I know
this might not be the answer for some of you with object yards. It doesn't
solve every problem, but it is much more organized, neater looking, a time
saver for builders looking for a specific object, but most of all a space
saver than if done by hand. It is needed when you have about 12,000 to
maintain and growing.

Added Note:

I would also like to be able to specify how far apart I want the objects
placed from one another.

I know of one that will create an object yard by reading a object registry
file
Use this to make a registry file if you don't already have one.
Note: this is just for the bot to read, you don't have to apply the registry
to the world if you don't want one.

Once you have a registry file of your objects use this to create the object
yard.
Note: this one takes some time to configure it just the way you want it, you
may end up reconfiguring it and reloading the object yard a few times.

The text output at the end of a awreg2prop run should help the
configuration :)
