Title: Help Me Design Bot! - Update #1
Post by: BaDDBLooD on June 13, 2004, 01:28 PM
As i was learning new things, getting new ideas, adding them to my battle.net chat bot.  My project got extremely messy with all the ideas, so i decided to Redo it.  What i am looking for is Ideas for my new project.

Example:

How to parse BNCS, BNLS, MCP Packets
Parsing 0x0F Packets
Parsing 0x19 ( Character List )
Clan List
BotNet
Whisper Windows
USE MDI Forms like DPChat and Doombot Or Use a Tab Strip
Multi Line Tooltips
Should i have right Click Menu's for the ListView's ( should clan list be included? )
Should i use Hashed And BNLS Connection, or just BNLS / Hashed Connection

Things like that would be apreciated

Leave idea / Explination in a reply below

Thanks Again!

I don't really like the fact that I need 3 windows open, that makes it cluttered. Should combine IRC, Botnet, and BNET into one. Just use commands uch as /irc or /bnet or /botnet or something.

How about putting all the things you need for all 3 into one form then when you select it the needed things become visible and the others dont

ie When you are on Botnet you can click on IRC from the menu and Botnet will disconnect and no longer be visable.
Or you can disregard whatever I just said and use Tabs  :)

we have MDI Forms
Visible/invisible controls
tab strip

for the 3 connections

Any other ideas?

Since its a Chat Bot you dont have to worry about speed for moderation so make it look very pretty  ;)

Yup ^_^

But you don't want it to big, like Spamming the Picture property with bitmap's ^_^

I like a simple look thats user friendly since not all the people on battle.net are past the age of 11. When I make a program id like to make it so if an idiot was looking at it hed know what to do. It might sound stupid but it saves me alot of time explaining

I am sort of not leaning towards the MDI Idea anymore =\

I think imma go with TabStrip =O

What's the point of making it disconnect? Why can't he have the three connections open at once? Unless I misunderstood you then that's pretty dumb.
