Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I know, this is a bot sdk newsgroup.. I know I know.. but I see posts for new worlds and birthday partys, so I thought maybe you'd give me this one. Let me just start off by saying, I never learned how to program bots, and i never learned how to like them. Eck. I hate em. Anyways, you probally know that i made the loved and/or hated C.A.T. Well after quite a few asks from people like jaybeefy up there, i tried my hand at an Add-on SDK. Whoops! I just angered every bot lover here. Oh well. Anyways.. i just wanted to see if any of you would get off bots for a little while and give me some feedback on my SDK. It's availble at http://come.to/Concept .. just scroll down a little. Anywho, please post any comments you have on it (if anyone tries it of course), cause it would really help me out. NOWWWWWW. I have to say this. And dont think i'm saying this just because i never learned how to make bots (I could have, but i program in VB and Mr Grimm's OCX gives me a stupid error every single time) , but BOTs are.. well.. stupid. They have their uses, yeah, but everythings already been done. What' could be more annoying than a bot who says the same thing over and over, greets you to a world you already know you are in! I'd rather explore a world than have some pre-programmed ninny tell me what's there. AND How many bots like hambot are there now?!? Goto a bot world and they are all trying to copy hambot or Preston. ITS BEEN DONE! Let the big boys have their fun. They know how. Why make your own?? There's no reason. And, i dont count "Because it's soooo much cooler to use something you made" as an excuse. It's borrrrrrring. Nothing new comes out.. ever. Warbots are paintball bots. Escort Bots are Greeter Bots. It's all the same. Let imagenius come out with the unique stuff, because most bot programmers i've seen are just trying to do what Ima's done. And i dont know about you, but it looks like ima is even scraping the bottom of the barrel. Tic toe toe bot?? come on! You could do that just by building. And besides, it's stupid and boring. And i dont know how many people hang out in AWgames and play Checkers, but i have to tell you I'd rather be playing quake or tribes then playing with some auto-mated CheckersBot. Paintball is dead, so please, let me rest by not making any more paintball bots. Ok. I'm pretty sure I've dissed bots enough. whew. just felt good to get off my chest. WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! ONE MORE THING!! What's with this customs aide bot in AlphaWorld?!?! It says the very same thing as the Immigration officer!! What's the point!! I'd rather have a gk or pk greet me. Stupid bots...grr. Anywho. I've had enough. All this typing.. whew.. wore me out.

True, I don't agree with everything he believes, but I do see a need to extend the browser not the worlds. His SDK, if you hadn't checked, was not for bots but to extend the interface. I have also been working on this idea. Unfortunately I was hoping to introduce it a little differently than concept chose to do his. (Sorry concept, but your method wasn't the best.) I should have something ready soon, but it's not easy trying to hack someone elses code without breaking laws. (Where's my copy of Spy++?) :o) ==== Aaron Hill (Redmond, Wash.)

AW.. anyways started an ADD-on world.. A'PFA.. reply (with cit#) if you like to come and help out... NO BOTS ;) [View Quote] > > I wouldn't go bashing him that quickly.

NO BOTS ;) When you announced your add-on SDK, you started by explaining your hate with bot programming. I do find add-ons a good idea, but I wouldn't had introduced my add-ons by bashing the other ways of extending AW. But it really doesn't matter anymore. So let's just drop this and get to doing some programming. I can't wait to see what interesting little things we can come up with. :o) conceptJan 23, 2000, 4:53am
ehh.. whatever. Main thing is .. i hate bots that talk bot. And reply to crap
like Bot? Yes master? that just sickens me [View Quote] > > When you announced your add-on SDK, you started by explaining your hate > with bot programming.
