Hi!

I just set up the Bot version 0.6.2 with AoC and it seems very nice.

However first I set it up with one of my actual characters and I saw a nice message on the screen when I logged on with my main character consisting of username /level + I was asked to register my crafting skills.

So I made a new character and set the whole thing up again from scratch.

Now the nice message is not showing and other users can not contact the bot because it says "I am only listening to members".

What could be wrong?

I can talk to the bot but all is not well.

Also I have a few questions:

1. Which unsopported modules would you recommend?

2. If there is an update of the bot, how do you apply it?

3. Is there any nice guides here or anywhere easily explaining the way this bot works?

4. I would like to add an extra admin to the bot, is this done in the bot.conf file at this line:->
"// $super_admin["Superadmin1"] = true;// Bot superadmins." or can it be done inside the game GUI?
Should the line look like this after edit:
"$super_admin["usernameofsuperadminnumberone"] = true;// Bot superadmins."

5. Restart command for the bot only shut down the bot! Any clue why?

Also if you have any other newb hints I would appreciate it

Only thing that is different between the two setups is the level of the bots. The first one that worked was level 36 placed in Old Tarantia. The other one was level 1, 1 meter in on the beach.

Considering your questions and the fact that you play AoC you want an guild bot.

Did you set $guild_bot = true and defined $guildname, bot in Bot.conf?
Is your bot character a member of the guild and can listen to your guild chat if you use the normal game client to log it?
Did you define an $owner in Bot.conf?

Check those points please.

About your questions:
1. As long as you don't use modules for AO you shouldn't have much troubles. Just make sure you don't use two modules with similar topic, otherwise tables or commands might overlap. And make sure you don't get modules for bebot 4 (though all specific AoC modules will be supported by 0.6 - first AoC version was 0.5.2 using the same architecture already).

2. Unless you modify some of the default Bot files updating is quite easy. Simply copy the new files over the old ones and restart the bot. Everything should be updated automatically and work as the config files won't be overwritten.
Updates in the 0.6 line won't break modules and almost certainly won't introduce required new config items you'd have to define in Bot.conf.

3. Basically bots are easy. You talk to it, either in guild chat or in tells, and the bot replies to your commands. For specific commands check !help, most commands should have decent entries.
Information about inner workings would be available in the wiki, but that is broken atm.

4. There are two ways to define admins. Either use the $super_admin array in Bot.conf. This admins are hardcoded super-admins, which means you cannot take their rights away from ingame. If you want to remove one of them you'll have to edit your config file again and restart the bot.
The second type of admins are defined using the security interface, !admin add Admin name I think (!help will lead you if that command doesn't work).

5. Did you call StartBot.php/StartBot.bat or Main.php? First should loop, second only starts the bot instance. Which means it'll terminate if you use either shutdown or restart.

The second char used as bot was lvl 1 thus it was not a guild member. You need to lvl it to lvl 5 so it can be a member of your guild and gain access to guild chat.

Using "lvl 1 char on the beach" would be ok for raid bot's but you do not need this on AoC (guild boit with added raid support is better).

First of all. Adding the guild chat to the bot worked even as level 1. I got an invite and it worked fine. So starting the Main.php as I did is not the correct way?. First time I tried the startbot.php it did not work - will defintively give that a go.

Thanks for swift help!

Is it possible to have an auto gratz module when people level up?

Alreadythere · « **Reply #4 on:** February 02, 2009, 06:06:47 pm »

There should be an autogratz module in the release, but you'll need to edit Main.php for it to work correctly. Check this post.

And the wiki is working again. While the posts there aren't perfect, and lot's isn't described there, the important stuff got explanations.

I changed the lines in the thread you pointed too but does not seem like it workds anyways. Hmmz

My autogratz still doesnt work either.. I had it working a couple months ago but I re-installed the whole bot on a new char and it doesnt work now. I also tried the line changes and other explanations mentioned but they did not help.

I can only think now that I have a conflicting .dll (if that is possible) or a Database table that needs reset or something.

Would love the help as well..

PLUS.. I havent been able to get the !trivia module to find the trivia questions as I have explained in another post.

Thx.

Well.. I was reading through another old thread on autogratz and noticed the saw that the settings interface for autogratz had to be turned on. This was not the case the first time I loaded the bot months ago. BUT I checked again with this install and sure enough it was turned off.. I turned it on and will reply back to let you know if that fixed my problem.

Just need someone to level.

Stonehead · « **Reply #9 on:** February 08, 2009, 08:34:28 pm »

Wizhk · « **Reply #10 on:** February 08, 2009, 11:41:50 pm »

Stonehead · « **Reply #11 on:** February 09, 2009, 10:22:00 pm »

Can't find it so I guess I need to add it then?

Wizhk · « **Reply #12 on:** February 09, 2009, 10:35:21 pm »

Yes you have to add the autogratz module.

Ok thanks for that. Could you please point me to the correct download for bebot version 0.62.

Thanx for help.
