| Post subject: | OCSBot Update- v1.2 Uploaded |
After a few weeks of work and testing, Daala and I have completed version 1.2 of the OCSBot. It has been uploaded to Grimy's. Description: Welcome to our creation, the OCSBot. OCS stands for Officer Candidate School, which was a design concept for training. The concept was to provide an online bot for players to access database information relating to the game TradeWars. The player can access a menu of various topics and have the info sent to them on a set SS channel. OCSBot will sit in the game and wait until it is called upon. The script was created to use SS channel 4357, and will post this in a General Announcement on a rotating schedule. When a player sets their SS channel to 4357, they can type "ocsbot" on SS (no quotes) and the script will respond with a menu. If they want to access a selection, they type "ocsbot #" (no quotes), where # is the number assigned to that particular help file. This script was designed to run on the Host side. We've included a text file for SysOps on how to configure script for their game(s). This is a helper bot for Sysops to place in a game to assist new players. It is not to be confused with bots that control players. Release Notes: This version has some changes and mods added to it. When OCSBot loads, a Mod menu is presented to the SysOp for selection. The mods are: Activate Recon and Sweep- this mod moves OCSBot along the path from sector 1 to StarDock and back. After 10 round trips are completed, the Sweeper mod activates. Sweeper will remove any figs/mines in the path and set the beacons. Once done, Recon is loaded and goes again. Activate Recon Only- OCSBot only moves along the path from sector 1 to StarDock and back only. No sweep runs. Figs, mines are left alone. Deactivate Recon and Sweep- this mod loads a keepalive function to prevent OCSBot from disconnecting due to inactivity. A window pops open for the SysOp to notify state. At any time, the SysOp can access the OCSBot Mod menu by pressing ~. Special thanks to Promethius and LoneStar for their time in helping and answering questions when I needed direction. We are now working on another mod and will post when the next release is available. Questions and comments always welcome. |
