Alright, I'll give the long answer, the reason is pretty simple.

If you personally spam the public channel and people object to it, you might get petitioned.
In this case a GM will come up, ask you to stop spamming. You'll apologize and stop spamming.

However, when your bot spams the channel and a GM comes up. The bot doesn't know a GM is asking it to stop spamming, so it'll just continue.
A GM is left with only 1 choice at this point, ban your account.

Also, think about it if everyone setup a bot 24/7 to advertise their guild.
Using macro's, the spamming is only limited to the amount of time a recruiter is online. But bots can cover the channel 24/7.
Now imagine every guild on the server sending an advertisement message every 30 minutes.

Yes, that's alot of spam. Funcom won't be pleased.
In the worst case, they'll just shut down bot access altogether.
Don't spoil it for the rest and just stay clear of the public channels.

Ps. thanks for the kind words GBH

Hi,

After some requests, i post here our Guildinfo script.

I modified the script abit. I putted the leaders and officers in it, online/offline.

Our main goal is to form a stable and solid relatively small raiding team with people that will get to know each other and have fun together. This is, in our opinion, the only way a guild can stack together and succeed, and the only way one won't feel just another pawn of the guild's leadership. We plan on making members feel at home and welcome. We also plan on encouraging people to take part in the guild's doings, not only in the raiding part but also the planning ones. We will ask for your opinion, your best thought strategy, your participation in the guild's politics, we will be happy when you speak your mind and provide constructive feedback at our forum. \n

We will also face with respect any prospective applicants, trials and members. There will not be any form of abusing at all, none harassing/pseudo-professional elitist attitude and so on and forth. We are fully aware of the true importance of this game, which is close to zero, and our priority -hands down- will be to have fun and make people in the raid happy so they will be eager to raid with us again, irregardless of the epics. \n

That of course doesn't mean we will slack behind and go casual, rather the opposite. We are a semi-hardcore guild with high if not very high end-game goals that are to be achieved, meaning that we have a good selection system and only keep players good enough to achieve those goals. \n

In any case, anyone who decides to apply, please visit our website for an application. Or just have a chat with one of us. http://www.enragedpolarbears.com \n

If you reached here, bravo! and thank you for your time and hope to see all of you soon online! \n\n";

Offcourse you need to change the names and the guild text. Also the guildname, because the script is made for my guild.

Good luck with it.

Jih.

thx al lot for this script .... perfekt work ... runs perfekt

change this line in your script:
 
     $txt.= "##GI_red##Recruitment:##end## ##yellow## We are looking for people over the age of 17 and from level 40+ active people for both pve and pvp.##end##\n\

to

      $txt.= "##GI_red##Recruitment:##end## ##yellow## We are looking for people over the age of 17 and from level 40+ active people for both pve and pvp.##end##\n";

I think that should do the trick.... not sure though im noob too

Is it possible to align text and change font or its size in age of conan

Basically the guild name i want centered and in the hyborian font
also is there a way since we have the !alts command and there is a table of a persons alt in the sql to modify the online offline to referance if a player is on any of their alts?

currently i am using this as a crude method
      $online = $this -> bot -> core("online") -> get_online_state('Morgahne');
      $txt.= "##GI_highlight##".$online['content']." :: Morgahne";
$txt.= "##Silver## [";
$txt.= "##GI_highlight##Morgaena:";
$online = $this -> bot -> core("online") -> get_online_state('Morgaene');
$txt.= "##GI_highlight##".$online['content']."##Silver##]##end##\n";
$txt.= "##end##\n";

How can I post this script in Global Chat.
Is there any possibility?

Create a txt file called rec.txt in your scripts game directory and copy this text to it:

<a href="text://mfs<br><br><br><br><br><a href='chatcmd:///tell INSERTBOTNAME !ginfo'>Click here<br></a>">INSERTGUILDNAME is Recruiting!</a>
Save it (dont forget to change INSERTBOTNAME and INSERTGUILDNAME)

Then simply type /rec.txt in global and you got your global add. (assuming your bot is up and the ginfo module is present :p)

Thx Monk4Y,
The script works fine.

One Question, What shoul i paste in the Guildinfo.php that the Bot tells me who clicked on the message

Code: [Select]

      $txt.= "GUILD INFO SECTION 2\n\n";
    $txt.= "##end##\n";
    $txt.= "##Silver##";
      $txt.= "GUILD INFO SECTION 3\n\n";
      $txt.= "##end##";
     
     
      return $this -> bot -> core("tools") -> make_blob("WHAT YOU WANT THE BOT TO TELL THE PLAYER", $txt)
Here is the line where the bot post it in the "tell"

Can anyone help me.
I don´t have any clue
