[Closed] [Question] Hosting BAL bots

Is there any way to host a BAL bot other than buying an expensive vps/dedicated server? I tried uploading a server code dll to playerio with some code from PlayerIOClient but using external dlls isn't allowed. Are there any other ways to do it?

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

Re: [Closed] [Question] Hosting BAL bots

If you want it running 24/7 then a VPS is your best option - but note that currently your account can only be connected to the game through 1 IP (Proc uses the account YONOM to be able to run 24/7).

I've run bots on https://contabo.com/?show=vps which I recommend

I'll consider trying it once I can but I can't get a VPS atm, hence why I started this topic. I need alternative ways to do it. I thought of making the bot using the PlayerIO android .ag file but that would probably be inefficient.

EDIT: P.S. Is it possible to run them on a linux server?

Yep, you want something called mono http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gettin … all/linux/

You would then use `mono bot.exe`

So basically, use mono project to make an ubuntu bot and run it there?

Yep, just install it on your server and you're good to go

Welp. I'll use it in the future :p Thanks.
But, anyone got any alternative ways for now?

Re: [Closed] [Question] Hosting BAL bots

I just host them from my pc ._.

(only downside is that I have to be online but I have to debug a lot to get the errors out first.)

Re: [Closed] [Question] Hosting BAL bots

Most obvious solution: Keep your PC on 24/7.
Downside is, that when you have a 550 watt PC (in the Netherlands) that would cost you about €1000 a year. And you won't be happy with it and neither will your parents, also because of the constant cooling sounds and flashy lights.

The Raspberry Pi would cost you only €40, but you'd need extra additions if you want it to run detached from your PC but still give it input or see when it crashes etc.
Plus it's generally a lot of work to get it working properly.
