Anyone have any idea for any bots?
(Like ReverseBOT, not a playing bot)

For those who havn't seen ReverseBOT:
It joined a jj2 server, when somebody said something, it would send the same message back, but backwards.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

-Thanks

EDIT: ReverseBOT Picture -

i hate that one, i liked the ''jcf sux bot'' more

Not sure I've seen that one before.

Well ive seen spam bots too

i think an anouncer bot that said things like "(name) is on a killing spree" if whoever killed people fast enough. or a CTF bot that said the pos of the flag carier

^^

A bot that looks up external information could be useful. JDC stats, for example, or information about other servers. Or even non-JJ2-related information, like dictionary definitions.

But only if the server host wants it to do a certain something, or everyone will find it annoying as hell.

Maybe a spell check bot =O

JJ2 isn't a chat room! Enough!

A bot that tells AJazz to shut up every team he types something

Consider the fact not everyone on jj2 has a good form of communication or don't want to give their email addresses out.

Oh yea, ahat, a nice idea for a bot would be like a irc2jj2 and back bot. That way, communication on #jj2 could be sent to a JJ2 server and vice versa.

Building on what UF said: A bot that transmits the things you type to an irc channel (NOT #jj2). Maybe something like that would be nice for JJ2WCIII, to get an idea of match progress from outside?

I would have to make some sort of bridge like program for the JJ2>IRC and IRC>JJ2 kind of thing, but it would be relatively easy.

maybe some kind of observer bot so many people could see whats happening inside the game

Working on JJ2 > IRC > JJ2


Keep the ideas coming.

a bot that gives random bonuses and disabilitys to random players randomly
also with ajustable speeds^^
that would be fun

He requested chat-related bots mostly, it seems. Gameplay-related bots would of course be cooler, though.

not realy, he didn't exacly specify DLL-Klien said not playing bots my idea of a bot doesn't exactly play

Here I'll specify further, anything that can be done using the TCP portion of jj2 no UDP

The descriptions of the ports at this link might help understand what DDL-Klein means with the TCP and UDP portions of JJ2 (I had to check myself too). Basically, mostly chatting tools, no tools that involve tweaking the gameplay.

Right on! I'll look into the UDP portion of JJ2 later.

good


also for TCP portion
maybe a a tool that alows people to list they're TCP servers and use TCP ports for playing on UDP instead... I DUNNO! chat is pretty limiting

if it has to be text
maybe a tool that changes the default palette entrys for text so you could use colors like purple, black inbetween entrys ect...

A private message tool? You leave a message for a person on a server with the bot, and the next time the host has his bot and that person joins, the message is relayed.

Omg, I just thought about it, a bot that copies roast and score messages to an IRC channel (in this case #JJ2WC) would be so cool! (it's called Scorebot btw)

And a bot that counts (down) 20 minutes and keeps telling every 5 minutes how much time remains could be very useful as well.

Unreleased Console?

Console automatically starts counting when the server is up and after 20 minutes it also skips level.

You sound like Console isn't customizable.

We, or at least I don't know how customizable it is.

Do you have it?

No, you?

Nope

Make a bot that can actually play! :P
Would be hard, but it would be cool...



Off-topic: I still haven't managed to make a jj2 client... (I'm Darky formely known as DarkJazz btw :P)
I can make the game go crazy by changing some packet numbers, and thats all :P
I cant do anything else.... :P

He specifically asked for non-playing bot bots though.

A Censor Bot.
Perfect For when Odin Goes into a cussing frenzy.

Yea, it would be hell to code something like that, unless you figured out how positions, guns, and health worked, so the bot could go after someone who had low health if it had the weapons that would be needed to take that player down.

A good program (not a bot) would be an anti-shield program. As you may or may not know, shields are stored in hex numbers. 0x00 indicates null. So code might be like this:

int jj2proclisten;
shieldoffsetp1==soandso_address;
if (shieldoffsetp1!=00) {
    getshieldNo();
    if (shieldno>=01)echo ("Player 1 was caught using a shield.");
    writenull(Shieldoffsetp1);
return;

Doesn't Cataclysm handle shield protection already? Or do you mean specifically for laser shields?

Just make the bot hack-kill your opponent's flagcarrier when you say "RTS3" in teamchat

I made a very crude play bot using memory.

Whee common, give me some ideas!
JJ2 to IRC to JJ2 almost done btw
