Re: Public Bot?

I have a great idea.  It's a bot that people can use online, instead of downloading things... you could call it... Bot on Demand (BOD).

Pretty good right?

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic, but wasn't that already made then discontinued because people were abusing it?

Re: Public Bot?

I do have much more experience with EE and programming than I did when I last released a bot publicly (that was 2012). I strayed away from the norm and found myself trying to utilize web services. I suppose though that if I made one today it could be at least up to par with all the others. PM me with ideas if you have them, perhaps some idea on what to name it. I might give it a shot.

I don't own a VPS or a Flash License

Re: Public Bot?

Two things I've thought across: A message queue so the server doesn't mute you on multiple chat messages. Also, a system to register chat commands. (!help comes to mind) Commands could simply be registered, resulting in plugins being "incompatible", or each could take different prefixes, "!" "$".

1. I use that for all my bots, it's really easy to make and use, so that's no problem, yet still good you point it out.

2. The plugins could use a bot-wide placeholder for the command prefix, again a standard for my bots. All I'd have to do is edit a single variable and the prefix is different for all commands (sadly changing it so it would accept would be a bit more work, but should still be doable in 5-10 minutes).

@zumza:
I think it's best if you'd make a list (preferably in the form of a Trello Scrum backlog) of all the things that would have to be done and make a separate thread about this idea to find people that would like to contribute and discuss it.

Re: Public Bot?

In my experience, you really just have an interface you're required to inherit. Then your "plugin" simply has to inherit various properties.

Den3107, I'd imagine the queue and command handling would be slightly more advanced than what you might have created through a single bot. My point with the handlers was to make sure that there was no doubling up. A problem with a unique prefix for each command is the ease of use, and limited space.

Yeah, this needs a place to hammer out.

Yes. But mine has 1 main interface and others for organisation. Like: IPlugin, IWorldMap, IUser, IUsers, IBlock, IMove etc...

This is a very good idea. No viruses (pretty much), nothing to download, nothing to install, always up to date, always available. Interesting.

Re: Public Bot?

Another thing I am not familiar with: server bandwidth.
However, if you do choose to host a "BOD", the relationship between active users and relative speed is invariably inverse.
The more folks who enjoy using the service, the more bogged down it would be.

I mean... I could create a client-server platform for my public bot allowing me to use more "sensitive" resources while still providing a full experience.

The applet will be a single-time download, after it loaded the page it doesn't require any internet anymore (unless you'd like to load in extra plugins).
So with many users only the loading of the webpage would take long, after that it would work at normal speed since it's then client-sided.

Re: Public Bot?

I see. So something like a Java applet. Naturally it'd have to be something that can sustain its own connection to the EE servers, then.

Very interesting.
