Title: Bot Project - Paid.
Post by: Glexia on March 13, 2006, 06:54 PM
Hello, I am searching for a person who can code a bot that will work on a unix/windows enviroment (java).

The bot is highly complex and needs to be very stable.

If you would like more information on the job, Email me at [email protected] or aim me at Glexia MikeW

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Depending on your reasoning, why not just use JavaOp?

We require a much more complex bot than that. Many different features.

Post what you need to be done, most people will be willing to do it for free..

Why not? It could be a fun and educational project.

Adv Mike W: Here's how it works.

Adv Mike W: The bots are going to be hosted on 3 dedicated linux servers at datacenters located across the country

Adv Mike W: Now, we have five channels for our clan

Adv Mike W: Each channel has what's called a "Master Channel Bot"

Adv Mike W: Then the main channel has the "Master Bot" which is resposible for all the sub "master channel bots"

Adv Mike W: Inside each cahnnel we have 7 shamans

Adv Mike W: Which are the "Interbots" or "Slavebots" for the "Master Channnel Bot"

Adv Mike W: The Master channel bot runs that paritcular channel making all the determintions to ban users etc... and they send the commansds though some sort of interbot network to the subbots

Nothing extreamly hard. Just takes skill and some tweaking.
And lots and lots of patience.
I'm sure if everyone chipped in this could be a community project.

Whats really funny is this:(17:53:04) Adv Mike W: I'm going to pay you 300$ at least
;) I doubt that I would even accept such a large ammount for something like this, atleast untill I actually get into a programming position.

The bot will also require support for STAR/SEXP and Warcraft III.

I was going to take the job, however I didn't want to fiddle with Warcraft III stuff just yet.

Basically it seems like you're looking to use BotNet to communicate between the bots. Anyone with good knowledge of Java and a copy of JavaOp source code could get that up and running in the form of a plugin in > 3hrs.

Perhaps he doesn't want his bot to be using open source code?

I talked with him on AIM. Sounds like he would want to have a bot made without opensource procedures. You can also use a language other than Java, as long as your software will compile on *nix.

Post by: Glexia on March 13, 2006, 09:57 PM
So far no one took me up on the offer. Some people say the bot is roundabout and refuse to program it. I will offer 500$ for the first person who can meet these expectations and to program to what I want and exactly what I want with their suggestions being put in and probably cleaning up the code.

I'm not looking for someone to tell me my design sucks, rather just someone to put my design into place.

If you have negative opinions about the project, please keep them to yourselves.

Thanks,

Mike

Post by: Glexia on March 13, 2006, 10:14 PM
It's a great deal with great benefits. I'm going to be paying the person a yearly maintenance agreement of 100$ to keep the source updated. Just code it the way I want and don't tell me how bad my ideas are.

Thanks :)

Post by: FrOzeN on March 13, 2006, 10:25 PM
Out of curiosity what are you aiming for with this bot? Personal use (private/public?), or to get it spread around?

[EDIT] Just noticed you said "We require a much more complex bot than that.", who else is it for?
Title: Re: Bot Project - Paid.
Post by: Glexia on March 13, 2006, 10:29 PM
It's for my clan.

Interestingly enough, I had chatted with some other folks about creating a successor to StealthBot in C# and VB.NET.  We ended up killing the project because of a lack of our own interest (Bnet just doesn't hold my interest anymore that much), but it shouldn't be that difficult.
Title: Re: Bot Project - Paid.
Post by: warz on March 14, 2006, 07:37 AM
Yeah. This project would be simple. Similar to MyndFyre, though, Battle.net bot programming just isn't interesting enough anymore.
Title: Re: Bot Project - Paid.
Post by: Ringo on March 14, 2006, 08:36 AM
Hm, sounds pritty easy to me.
You just make a single client read the important parts of incoming chat events, and distibute its sending chat across the other 7 slaves.
When a user gets banned/shitlisted etc, the event is sent to the "master" server bot, who would ecco the event to all other bots on the network, so the user gets banned when entering another of the clan channels.
And on connection, the client bots on the network could just download the databases from the master server, and/or download updates between downtimes (if 1 or more clients went down)
The rest would be nitty gritty done it 1000 times before stuff.
Assuming thats how you want it to work, i dont see the problem, maybe "everyone" could help make it and have the money go to charity. (seriously)

I can only code in vb6, other wise i would help with the remote data base stuff (the rest (bnet) is plain boring)  ::)

I don't know if he publicly wants to explain the whole story, but let's just put it this way, he's not losing any money.

 hmm.. $500.. Actually i have heard of this done before.. some war3 clan created some sort of bot to interact with the others on each server..

but as they say if the price is right we can do it.

Title: Re: Bot Project - Paid.
Post by: warz on March 14, 2006, 11:21 PM
I highly doubt this is a legitimate offer. Somehow I refuse to believe any sort of transaction will be made here. I have a feeling the person making the money offer is just going to try and scam the programmer out of their hard work and time on this by some method of persuasion or something.

This is simply retarded. If there was a way to verify that the 500$ currently existed online somewhere, possibly paypal, and that the transaction would have to be made upon trade - I would do this in a heartbeat. It's an interesting project.

Show us the money. ;-)
Title: Re: Bot Project - Paid.
Post by: Glexia on March 14, 2006, 11:24 PM
The project is actually underway!

If you want to get on the design team please talk to them. I could work out a little bit more money to get this project go to faster.

:)

Thanks,

Mike

You can't possibly be stupid enough to get scammed. It can be avoided with a basic method. He doesn't apparently care what language you use. I would have taken the job however I've never worked with Warcraft III, so I decided not to fiddle with it. My language of choice was also Scheme, and I know he doesn't know that language. If I were to write the software for him just to find out that he wont pay me, well little would he know that I coded my program to be able to read a small .txt document from an FTP I could have setup, and inside that document could be found a single character. Either 1 or 0. 1 could mean you've been paid, 0 could mean you havn't been paid. So if it is 0, the program could refuse to exit, or perhaps even create a process to exit the program and then delete it from the HD. Even if he had the source I'm sure I could make it near impossible for him to find the block of code to remove, remember I would be using a language that he would have 0 knowledge of. So being ripped off shouldn't be an issue. I'm also 99% sure he will be paying for the project to be done.

Well, I wasn't really refering to you and scheme. I was just talking about in general.
