I'm not requesting a module, at least not yet, but am asking for info. With instancing of raid areas happening sooner than later now ... and given the messes on RK2 Clan side with the bot system being tyrannical and the people raiding outside the bots currently being full of epeens ... it seems like time now to prepare for the future.

Are there any raid modules already out there for BeBot that are flexible enough to:

a) allow for points based on #kills -or- time in raidlist -or- both

b) can support flatrolls of items while still tracking point-based rolls ... especially for things like DB raids.

c) add mobs/loot tables that are based on some form of "!raidstart" command along with (and this is key) different point types for different raid types (ie, 1 type of points for APF, another for Zods, another for Beast, etc).

d) can share points across alts

e) can share points across bots (ie, so that if a few orgs were all raiding in the same bot system but had multiple bots set up so we could support instanced raids we could allow people to join whichever bot was active but dump points into a shared pool)

Awhile back I was going to write some customizations for VhaBot, which had all that was needed for the above, but it was discontinued around the same time that I took a break from AO.

What I'd like to be able to do is have 1 codebase that can easily run an APF raid, a Pande raid, an AI city raid, etc. I'm sure I'll end up with multiple bots due to instancing and needing multiple types of points. But I'd like to only need to worry about 1 bot core to run them and have flexibility to -allow- point raiding for places where it makes sense.

Are there any BeBot modules or combinations close to the above at the moment?

Just looked at Budabot and it appears to do alot of this. So it may not be as big of a deal for BeBot to do it. However I would still prefer to stay with the codebase I know atm if something close already exists.

u should add some of that to the offical module alreadythere

Somehow I can't get the raidadmin cmds to work in Allreadythere's module...
in 0.5.3

Seems it woun't handle numbers in shortname, like apf13 and such..
also when I try to bid I get
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /Bots/Raidbot/custom/modules/Raid_RAID.php on line 513

What's the right syntax for adding a new raid via in-game? I tried:

!raidadmin addraid Test 3 Please

As well as many others, but no avail. I'm wondering if maybe the !raidadmin commands aren't functional as none of the others I checked worked, either.

Using 0.5.4 as my test platform.

I was able to add a new raid type directly into my SQL db, so was able to test other commands that rely on a working raid type to exist, but not sure what I'm doing wrong for defining new raids via chat commands.

Ok, did some quick checks - the commands do work for me, and looking in the code I can't see any reason why nothing should happen, if there is an error it should report it.

Did you use !raidadmin in a tell? That's the only channel the command is registered on.

If I wanted to use this mod on the newest (0.6.1) version of bebot what if any modifications would I need to make.  I would like to give this a try, but if it only works for 0.5.x then I shall keep looking for something similar.

Excellent thank you.
