Are there any programs that the community would like to see released...? *No Trainers or Cheat Programs* The ideas put here may be used in my programs so if you want to use them or want someone else to use them dont post them here..

Yes... a program to remove various things like Overlord.exe and the like from computers.

a chatbot.

something that talks to people in the server.. fun to toy with them also

but like it helps it also. say a person says a word that YOU choose not want to be said in your server. you could enter that bad word into the program, so if a person says it besides the server, the person would get two warnings or so by the bot and get kicked. then the bot records all this into a log that tells what happens (kinda like a chatlog) (and if you were to use a log then you could add bans as well). also a catalysm kinda thing into the bot could be cool... and it talks to the people. say a person says hello, you could program your bot (via a easy to use program ) to respond.. Hey (insert name of person here) (it would be cool if it could respond with the persons name )! and then you could ask things like.. how long has this server been up? what level is this? (dont know if that could work right, but if it does the bot responds with the level info) who is running the server? etc. etc. etc. its a pretty cool program

*cough* 1.25 patch *cough*

be serious janus he said programs. aND READ MY CHATBOT (fantasy) PROGRAM!

I have created a chatbot but im not releasing it

Lemme think:
- a utility that logs all chat into a text file. One that works with TSF...
- a utility to convert TSF JCS levels to 1.23.
- a handy utility that prevents the server to crash when the level changes and the host is minimized.

a) I belive one is already being created by Link.

b) A utility? Nah. Maybe I can create a JCS patch to load the tsf levels in 1.23 jcs... But they must be made with 1.23 tilesets of course.

c) Maybe in Cataclysm 2.

And Txl Kill! I agree with the chatbot. You should create one that talks to ppl within the server, that'd be fun.

I'm for the above esp. b. I would be able to convert SM in a flash and would save me lots of rebuilding time!

If c is implemented we wouldn't need any idle server programs and you can use dedicate the server by just minimizing it. Cool though!

Chatbot! Chatbot! Chatbot! Chatbot!

It would be like our own Autovoice in JJ2.

God dont you people ever read my posts i said that i already made a chatbot! it just abandoned the project the chat bot works and everything already. some people have seen it!

yeah but. do you mind releasing it?

No i must work on it first.. i need to recreate a function in it... then i must use a better way of reading the text files so it is perfect then it will be released

Txl...

Do this: Release the proggy and make it a BETA. Then tell them, "What you see is what you get, I will not help you." That way, you can have your peace for the upgrading, and have the people be happy with their chatbots.

heh cool! I am making a tileset and I want it to be atleast almost perfect (although thats off subject)

I was just wondering, is it possible to have a program read what the people do in the server (i.e. what weapons they have, how much health they have, etc.). If it is possible to read these things with a prog, then it would be possible for said prog to ban people when they cheat. The reasoning behind this is that the prog could read whenever the person gets something that is out of the ordinary (i.e. a shield or weapon that is not located on the level)., and then it can act upon it. Maybe it could be possible for the prog to scan the level for weapons and items that it has in it, so that it is possible to be on any level and have anyone who has anything out of the ordinary kicked without the hassle of the server setting up the parameters of the level each time.

Name: Overlord
Programme: Cataclysm - Cataclysm is the ban/kick bot thing

Yeah, but does it do what I described?

It allows you to control what weapons are allowed in the server (eg: no bouncers in server), disable certain shields, detect people cheating, ban/kick people who are cheating, turn on insta-gib (1 shot kill), the list goes on.

So why do people hate his progs so much? Sorry about the questions, just a bit curious.

Maybe 'cos they love to cheat.

Each time you want to test your tileset in JJ2, you must do a certain thing: Move all the colors in the palette you just created to the right two entries, because of the transparent colors, and take care of the fact that all pixels with the color 0,0,0 are changed into something like 0,0,4.

If you test your tileset often this can be annoying and errors happen easily(like missing a pixel, etc) Perhaps a program could be created that does a thing like this automaticly. As an extra, maybe it could allow you to re-arrange the tiles in your bitmap(I am not talking about .j2t editing!)

someone told me that Project Omega makes you able to see the health of the other players in a server. He knows the number of the hearts I have while playing... he said you can see that with Project Omega... but I can't find out how.

My quests:
Is this true?
-yes: well, how to see it?
-no: is there a program that can do this? if yes, where to download it?

Ugh Topic revival maximus.

Wow. This one was three years old. Impressive.

We need a 1.24 to 1.23 anti-patch.

I revived one 5 years old. How 'bout this: A freeware EVERYONE CAN GET IT J2E creator.

Why do you want a J2E maker so much? Is it really that necessary?

This board isn't five years old.
...and patience!

Cause DX offered it, and others said I could get it if my levelpack, (of over 30 levels) is good enough.

DX didn't offer it, he said "ask Violet for it" which seemed to be in response to "Can't you use an external launcher ala FSP" Which was made by Violet(FSP).
And it's not freeware. If it was we'd all have it. It's only handed out to those worthy enough, if there was a word for that I'd use it, and when you have it you cannot hand it out to others unless they also get a worthy score on their episode and request it, if not it'd be Megawarp all over again.

Somehow that seems to be a lie. Unless DX is doing something illegal.

I don't think it can be anything but freeware. Remember that with freeware it doesn't necessarily mean that you absolutely have no choice but to make it available just because you have it, but you can't prevent other ppl from using it and distributin it once they have it, despite it being yours, because it is creating a file that is copyrighted by Epic, and if ppl had to pay for the program, the program's creator would benefit from something that Epic created, without paying Epic back. Now, the only way you could turn it into something commercial would be to have Epic's permission to sell it.

Ah, well thats that.

That finally makes sense. (Yet I still want it.)
