What do you know already?  It would be helpful to know where you're starting from.

Aye, that was great!

In re: to Jaquio, as iago said, what do you know already?  If you're familiar with a programming language, you might want to look into its implementation of Windows Sockets (or if you're not programming the bot for Windows, any sockets connection).  For example, Visual Basic 6 uses the WinSock OCX control, whereas C++ uses the Windows Sockets API as well as the straight-up send() and recv() functions.  The .NET framework uses the System.Net.Sockets namespace.

If you're not familiar with programming, take a look at the Computer Science Classes forum.  You need to be familiar with at least one programming language before beginning, otherwise you will get severely flamed on this forum by people who really don't want to rehash the same answer 200 times.

If you know general Visual Basic 6 programming, you might want to look into CupHead's CleanSlateBot OCX control (IIRC, it's at http://www.valhallalegends.com/cuphead/ ).  I've never used it, but as I understand it's quite good, and helps even the newbiest of newbs make a bot.

Good luck.  =)

It's a decent start.  You might try the thread that involved these tutorials as well.

(note that send and recv are part fo the Winsock API.)

Well the easiest way is 1st Learn Visual Basic 6.0 and then use CupHead's CleanSlateBot Control.

Once again thx CupHead for letting anybody make a bot with no experience

I'm a quick leaner too. Man, if I see that a situation is gretting rather boring, or a speech is getting a little too lengthy - I quickly lean up against something, and doze off to sleep.

Happy leaning, Jaquio!

Hey now, I was referring to the Windows Sockets classes when I said the Windows Sockets API, separate from the straight C functions.  =P

We're mostly pretty helpful and have fun as long as you're at least slightly respectful and not mostly an idiot.  :)

Before I begin, you seem pretty okay; this post is meant to help you for future posts.

1) Run on sentences are annoying and hard to read :)
2) If you're getting an error, tell us *exactly* what it is
3) If you aren't getting an error, but it's not working, tell us *exactly* what you did.

Good luck.
