bot help :(

Im a complete n00b in running dc hubs. I currently have 1 running with 3 users connected but i wanted to play around with adding a bot to the hub.

The problem is I do not know where to start. I cannt even get one to connect. I Read that you have to send a message from the bot to the hub but i do not understand how to do this since the bot doesnt seem to exist unless its connected.

A url to a starters guide would be very helpful right now.

ok well i got some bots working. The question now is, how do i make bots appear on the user list? I just want other users to see which bots are active.

Bots are just scripts. They aren't users. They don't need to "connect". They are part of the server =)
If you check the help.script, that comes with the neomodus hub, you'll see that there is this command :

'RegisterBotName(sName as string) Add a bot's name to the oplist.

That's how you do it

Hmmm i have the same problem. I can't get my bot to show up or do anything. I'm using neo modus win98 version.

Sub Main()
sBotName = "AFKBot"
Set oMessages = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set oSenders = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
tmrScriptTimer.interval=10000 '*** 10 Second
tmrScriptTimer.enabled=true
'frmHub.RegisterBotName(CStr(sBotName))
End Sub

This is the part that is supposed to register it. Someone please telll me why it doesn't register

Pretty simple.. change

Code: Select all

'frmHub.RegisterBotName(CStr(sBotName))

into

Code: Select all

frmHub.RegisterBotName(CStr(sBotName))

an ' means the remaining code on that row won't be run, but treated as a comment.
