Overall Bot Making

[Tuberload]

o.OV IM CLaNBaN my bot is very easy to use and newb friendly like Stealthbot(sry stealth) but myn has more UseFull functions

In my view, the "best" bot would be both userfriendly for those users who only need basic features and powerful for those who wish to delve deeper into its functionality.

Hence, scripting was invented?

Yes scripting is a nice feature, but what you really got to do is have a beginner and an advanced configuration setup. Both do the same thing of course; the only difference is how difficult it was to get it done. That way you have the people that just want to chat covered, and the people who like to figure things out taken care of as well.

Agreed. . .

Chewy is hash based... only loads war2 though

I'd prefer something like extension dlls that lets you use your language of choice instead of being limited to a specific (and possibly unfamiliar) scripting language.

Generally, I agree.  However, I see two major attractive points for scripting:

* doesn't require a compiler installed (and can potentially produce much more compact scripts than a plugin to do the same thing)
* much harder to crash the host process.  One errant pointer dereference in a C DLL and a heap corruption (or access violation) might occur.  Access violations can be caught, but heap corruptions can be a mess.  A well written scripting host will be quite hard to crash, but IMO it'd be very difficult to write an extension-dll handler that provides near complete safety against bad extensions crashing everything.

Bad side to using a scripting language, will develope another volley of scripting noobs.  With 1 in ever 20 or so having the faintest idea of whats going on.

does that mean you cant be hash based and support other games?

[Zakath]

Not at all. ZakBot is, and has been since it was created, purely dependent on local hashing. It supports SC, BW, War2, D2, and D2XP, including minimal support for dealing with the D2 MCP server.

[Hamtaro]

why doesnt it support war3?

[UserLoser.]

why doesnt it support war3?

The hashing required for Warcraft III is currently different than all other products

SUPREME cmds

That made me laugh.

I want to see this AIM Client, the PHP/e107 management, and this "self made mp3 player"

You can get the aim client and mp3 player off of http://pscode.com/ as for the e107 management I am confused as to what he meant.

[Spht]

why doesnt it support war3?

That's soon to come. . .

I think he was asking about Zakath's bot...

oh?
