Hi Guys,
I am completely new to anything that's about Network Communication. Here's what I've done:
- PHP Scripting
- Delphi Low Level Applications
- Computer Science in my final exams... so I know basics like Recursion, Sort Algorithm, Micro Programming, Data Structures, etc.
Here's what I want to do:
Write a Battle.Net Bot in Python with help of the "Twisted Matrix" which is able to run on my clan's dedicated Debian Server and is able to do the following:
- Moderate/Operate the Channel "clan xxx" (BG3 can do this, so can I =) )
- Transfer Chat from Battle.net to IRC and back
I am completely aware of the fact, that this might be the work of half a year, but I am eager to learn. ;)
Anyone has got an advice, where and how I can start? I read through some of the documents at the Bot-Dev Site, but did not find something like a "Hello World" Tutorial...
Thx, Zyr

The bot development web site wasn't meant to be a walk-through on how to write a bot. It's an archive of resources from the old bot development forums which would be useful for developers.

A long time ago (~3 years), I posted a series of articles on how to write a VB Chat bot. It was effectively a "Hello, World" for bots that got you up and running. I believe BnetDocs or the BotDev site might have a link to that forum article.

If you haven't already, I would recommend getting at least a basic grounding in either C or VB, as that's what most of the code samples seem to get written in. The C code is (IMO) often better, but the VB code is more plentiful (on account of more VB newbies begging for help than C newbies, I think).
Additionally, Lord`Bacca modified and released an enhanced GreetBot for C++ programmers. It is documented pretty well, and should be the newb C++ bot programmer's starting place.

Hm, anyways I would find such a thing quite helpful. If I will (one day :)) succeed with Battle.Net-Bot-Programming, I may contribute one.
All the others: Thx very much!

You should note that that article by Grok is "incomplete" to an extent. But for an almost full, featured bot, you can download this Visual Basic source of a chat bot created by our good friend Grok aswell.

Don't be too sure about that.
Oh I am sure.
