Author Topic: MoneryNet - A Classic RK raidbot network (Read 9715 times)

Monery · « **on:** June 14, 2008, 03:56:20 am »

As some of you may be aware, I have been hosting a bot named MoneryNet on RK2 to help organize raids for those Classics such as HI, Mercs, Hags and soon, Biodomes. Well when I do pick good times of the day to advertise that I am gathering people up for one of these events, I get a really good turnout. Now my raids are not limited to just one faction or even just one raid as u can see so I am feeling the next logical step in the progression of this bot is to have something simular to the feature of OmniNet and EliteNet, where people can sign up for messages that are generated by the head bot, and then trickle down to various otherbots and spam people that have signed up for these advertisements to appear. If i made myself clear on what I am looking to do, does anyone now know of a module that I can run on several bots that will allow me to do this?. Btw, the current MoneryNet is runing on the 0.5.2 bot so ofc I Would want a module that runs on this recent version of Bebot, the best damn bot in AO!!!

What you appear to be looking for here is an enhanced mass-msg/mass-invite. The one in the current development version allows users to alter the reciept of mass messages/invites in preferences.

However relaying said invites trough other bots is a feature I, for one, have note yet concidered.

If you run separate bots for the separate types of raids I do not see why you cannot initiate a mass-msg/invite to members of the bots that run the raids.

A relay from a "master" bot would entail having that bot tell the bot running the raid to invoke the mass-msg/-invite command and I don't see how that's any easier than invoking the command from the bot in question.

Right now Blue, I run one bot for any raids I try to get formed. I am not sure of the tech and how it is deployed on the Omninet bot, but one thing, but I can show u how it would work

u simply issue this command... /tell omninet spam raids MoneryNet hosting a HI raid, u got 30 minutes to get there

from there, various bots receive the command and start spamming the members that have signed up for in this case raid messages. After a few seconds, I receive a msg from a bot called Omninet5. Depending on your name, guessing it is alphabetical, one of a several bots on omninet sends u whatever msg was sent into the network. Now this ofc has several advantages. One of course being that if u have 100's of charactors signed on, you can get the messages out faster with multiple bots instead of one processing the command, then going to the next and so on. Due to the fact that FC has imposed a throttle on how many commands can be sent over their chat servers, handling in this method would be the ideal way to get the messages out fast to all the members. Hope this clarifies the reason I am attempting to do this

oh I forgot to add, the MoneryNet bot I am not looking to have people be members in the traditional sense. Instead I was looking for this module to take a person that is signing up for spam considering raids to be assigned to a bot who's sole purpose in life is to send it's members messages, nothing more

At the core of things, BeBot really wasn't written to work this way. Naturlistic and I got it working on Campalot, but we both agree that the code should never see the light of day. It breaks...a lot. Knowledge of PHP and SQL is an absolute must. Every now and then I have the notion of updating Campalot from 0.2 to 0.4 or 0.5 and solving some of these issues once and for all. If someone were to bribe me with a full sets of combined armor for my Enforcer and Adventurer I'd consider it...

I would suggest that instead of going the mass message route, create a module (or modules?) for relaying raid messages from your raid bot to any participating org bot. This woudln't require massive changes to BeBot's core as mass message network bots do. Everything you need is already in BeBot.

Another alternative is to create a module that will send your message to a website, and a companion module to grab that message on other bots. My Twitter for BeBot module is a good example of this: http://twitter.com/campalot. Only a few people seem intrested in getting Anarchy-Online raid alerts via SMS, but I think it's rather cool.

since I don't write code, er at all... Do u or Naturlistic know of a bot that will do what I Am looking for? Getting frustrated with Omninet and Elitenet being down and not being able to advertise my raids on RK2
