How can i do this, What type of bot do i have to have and how to i set it up on my webspace to run?
do u mean like a BNLS or like a shell so if ur computer goes down then ur bot is still connected?
i think hes refering to a web based interface to his bot, i think u can get sphts webbot, and it will connect to skywings webchannel service over botnet, but i think u will have to link to vl.com to use it (i dunno for sure)
If you shift some interpreations around than I think that c0ol is right, he's looking for some sort of Webbot. Are you looking to be able to chat from your website directly to Battle.Net? Is that what you're trying to get at?

That would be a rather cool option, I don't know why but it could be.
And currently very possible. See this documentation about setting it up: http://botdev.valhallalegends.com/documents/WebChannelDoc.txt
This is the protocol which WebBot supports and all its functionality.
I think he is talking about shelling an application onto a webserver.
How can you shell a bot from a website? Is it possible?
its been done the maker of OBS bot did it and gave me a link befor .... i think his anme was "X-skulders" or something he said it was made in java i think...
if you mean running an activex control or something of that nature, you can use the microsoft activex launchpad to automatically find the base code for the ocx, and ittl create the html file for you, or you can do it by compiling your ocx, then searching the registry for its base code (codebase?) and making it yourself.
if you mean controlling your bot from a website, you can use the header() function in php to point to your computer and communicate with it via a webserver of some sort.
if you mean displaying info from your bot on the web, just use webbot :P
I mean using a webspace such as Geocities or your own domain. So when you shut down your computer, the bot is still connected as long as the website is still up. Would that be posible? That would help people who run clans who cant run a bot 24/7 or those who want to keep recruiting 24/7 ^^
you would need either a shell account or a dedicated server todo that (with a shell account)
I do it off my webserver novaslp.net i wrote the bot in java so it was easy to debug on windows. yes still ran on linux when time came.
but it is possible. I use screen to keep it running and resume the session next time i ssh in.
Do my posts keep getting deleted or what?... It's weird.

Presumably yes. Well, I'd hope they do.
Thank you. I've replied to this post twice now & the responses aren't there.
There's some discussion over in General about signatures being too large. Could be they're meaning you.
Yes, hopefully someone is deleting all posts with too big signatures :P
Ok, that's what I was thinking, I thought it was getting big aswell, I'll go fix that.
Grok, I think they are mostly talking to him and Feanor.

A bot running as a cgi on a web site probably won't work well. Even if the server does allow cgi (which most free providers don't) there is likely to be a timeout after which the cgi is terminated. So your bot won't stay on, it will just periodically login and stay on a little while.
Set it up as a Java applet that talks to a custom server on the web server. Custom server basically broadcasts its chat events to all the clients.
Would you be able to use DHTML? i dont know much about it but I saw it in a VB6 book.
Clarify: Are you doing this because you're cheap and want to get a bot online without staying online 24/7 yourself, and you only have a web host? Or do you have full server access to a dedicated or near dedicated server that is online 24/7 on a fast connection and want to provide b.net channel events to the web?

$5 on the former.
Me too, but St0rm.iD's suggestion applies more to the latter, so I thought I'd make sure which one we're talking about here...
Give me $50 and I'll host it for you.
I thought this was the botdev forum :-\

It was. Do try to keep up. It's new name is:
BotDev.For.Dollars.
That's a brilliant idea! Make all the newbies PAY! :P
CrAz3D, reduce the dimensions of your signature image, so I don't have to do it for you.
Didn't he already reduce it once? But I agree it's still too big.
