Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all! Okay, here's my entry into the wonderful world of bots. :) The beta 1.0 version of Magsbot, available at ftp://ftp.pipeline.com/users/magine/mbot1b.zip Magsbot is intended to make programming complex bot behavior a little easier through the use of a user-edited table of events and corresponding bot responses. Using MB, it's pretty simple to get a bot to speak, move, change avatar, create, delete, click or select objects, etc. in response to any nearly any conditions you can think of. The scripting language is fairly powerful and will become more so as I add to it, and eventually I hope to add a "wizard" feature to generate the bits of script in the table automatically. MB can also be expanded though the use of DLLs, which it can call upon in response to specified conditions. If you've been wanting to do some bot programming but don't have a compiler, or don't feel like writing all the overhead necessary to just get a bot running, or even if you aren't a programmer but want a simpler way to make a bot behave, try Magsbot and let me know what you think. :) -Magine Email: magine at pipeline.com --------------A83EB04EA6C0EDD575E64186 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>Hi all!</font></font></font> <p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>Okay, here's my entry into the wonderful world of bots. :) The beta 1.0</font></font></font> <br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>version of Magsbot, available at</font></font></font> <br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1> <a href="ftp://ftp.pipeline.com/users/magine/mbot1b.zip">ftp://ftp.pipeline.com/users/magine/mbot1b.zip</a></font></font></font> <p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>Magsbot is intended to make programming complex bot behavior a little</font></font></font> <br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>easier through the use of a user-edited table of events and</font></font></font> <br><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>corresponding bot responses.
