[Idea] MultiBot: A Web Bot

Would be someone interesting in having / using a bot on all OS?
As you know current bots are made with C# and they are 'stick' to Windows.

Re: [Idea] MultiBot: A Web Bot

Well, mac can use the c# bots, they just need a special resource installed and the gui will likely be **** up (donno about Linux, but I think same story)

Bots in Java are possible, was my own first choice, but connectin the bot and all would be really strange so I jist gave up and switched to c# (which is practically the same as Java).

Re: [Idea] MultiBot: A Web Bot

Have you ever heard of the Mono Project? Most bots should already work fine on Mac OS X and most major Linux distributions.

For example, to install on Debian & Ubuntu:

apt-get install mono-complete

To install on CentOS 7:

yum install epel-release; yum install mono-complete

It's like magic! Console applications will work 99% of the time, and most WinForm based GUIs will function as well (so long as you have a proper graphical environment).

I'm the type of man that doesn't satisfy even with 100%. I always look for more...

Wine can be used to run windows executables on both mac os x and linux.

Got any ideas for private bots and/or BAL bots?

Why not use https://www.playonmac.com/ or https://www.playonlinux.com/? Or use my old guide that is around here somewhere.

Re: [Idea] MultiBot: A Web Bot

I prefer WINE to the PlayOn*s. I couldn't get either of them to work with some of my programs even though they're both just wrappers for WINE, right?

I guess so, and though wine doesn't run all kinds of exes, it still does fine.
And playons never worked for me either.

You could try to do it in javascript; Atilla almost had PlayerIO.js finished so you might be able to ask Atilla about it if you need a head start.

Otherwise, you can program a bot in ActionScript, and interface the swf with javascript to your website.

Atilla refuses to help with anything related to everybody edits so I doubt you'd have a success getting that PlayerIO.js thing.

If I'm gonna do something for EE then it will be something for my knowledge. So I won't use somebody's else code. But if somebody wants to contribute to the project I won't refuse him. I would be glad to work in team.

In-browser you can still use Java applets, just so you know.

Re: [Idea] MultiBot: A Web Bot

I have tried a different approach with a web-based bot before, using a C#-based server acting as a middleman for connections. Perhaps you could use WebSockets and have a centralized bot platform.

Yep, Chrome dropped support for NPAPI. So, that entire market-share is out of the question.

Does Iced Tea count?
