About Z-Bot.
------------

Z-Bot was written by myself from the ground up (it started as a blank notepad screen).
Many ideas have come from using Mombot and Kraakenbot along with a few of my own.

Here is a list of Z-Bot features:

* Over 60 internal bot commands - All with built-in help screens.
* Extensible. All Internal commands can be replaced with external commands using the Z-Options.cfg file.
* Extra bot commands can be added using the Z-Options.cfg file.
* Full Featured Charger, Mower and Twarper (with attack, capture, surround, and port). Move around the universe fast and easy.
* User definable Menu System available with a double tap of the comma key (for standalone scripts).
* Defineable hotkeys. All internal key assignments can be customised.
* Auto Sub-Space changer changes channels every hour.. and stays in sync with your corpies.
* Bot commands can be sent via Subspace or Personal Message (internal commands will respond in kind).
* Built in Pdrop, Citkill, Citevac, planet invasion routines and much more.
* Designed to work with existing Zed Scripts such as Z-FigMon and Z-Login.
* Sector Avoids management built in.
* Central Menu for changing options available using the TAB key.
* Attack and Capture macros can be edited in the Z-Options.cfg file.
* Self Destruct prevention built in.
* Creeper Mode.
* Log file maintained for each game.
* The OreUp and Call scripts are built in (stand alone versions are also in the pack).
* much more...

I have decided to release this script pack to the public. (available for download NOW at http://tradewarsportal.com)
I hope you find some of these scripts useful.
I will be supporting this script pack from my website at http://tradewarsportal.com.

Credits to VidKid and Parrothead who have helped me along the way. Thanks fellas.
Special thanks to Traveler for his patience in helping me test the scripts.

Regards Archy.

Please note that after registration you will need to go to your settings and tick "ADVANCED ACCESS" to get full access to the site. (this is to protect us from spam bots)

Just so others know, you have to create a login in order to d/l for some unknown reason. Seems silly to but thats just me. Sounds like it might have promise but I guess I will never know.

Membership to my site is completely free. It's just like registering to a forum.. in fact.. thats actually what you are doing when you register with my site.. I have over 300 other people who didnt mind registering and who now enjoy the facilities available there.. at no cost.. i dont ask for real names.. your game name will do.. and although the email address needs to be reachable for the authentication process.. it is never used for anything other than authentication and if perhaps i need to contact you for something regarding the site (i cant think of an instance where that has actually happened). I do not have advertisements on my site.. it is PURELY for games.. my hobby.. not my business. So if a simple registration is too much to ask.. so be it.. its your loss im afraid.. not mine..

I hope that my scripts might bring a few more people to my site.. i dont think it is too much to ask that you register to get them.. There are a LOT of hours of work gone into those scripts.. and there are NO restrictions on them.. you simply download them and use them..

Sorry bro, deleted the whole thing when I saw they were .cts files.

H

.CTS IS PURE EVIL !!

but I'll use them anyway.

thanks

Most end users have no idea how many hours are put into a public script. Private scripts are easier to write. Thanks for putting your work out there, and hopefully a few more players will come into the game.

"A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

I have posted an update of Z-Bot to fix the incompatibility issue with Mombots WSST.
To fix this incompatibility i have had to edit WSST itself as well as the bot. So i have included the edited WSST file with the bot and called it zwsst.cts. All credits for LoneStar have been left intact.
You will need to make an entry in the z-options.cfg file to use the wsst as you do with any external script added to the bot.

If you already have the ZedPack you can just download the update for the bot. If you dont then the update has been included in the pack now available for download on my site.

Z-Bot has been updated to 1.17 both in the ZedPack and as a standalone download.
The changes are:

1.17
----

* Added the AMTRAK bot command for finding all adjacents to fedspace and the MSLs.
* Added Rylos and Alphacentauri variables to the gamedata config for Mombot compatibility.
* Fixed "bad prompt" problem when twarping off alpha or rylos.
* Fixed hangup when mapping a route using twarp.
* Fixed a conflict with the pulse and the Pdrop, Citkill, and Evac commands. (The AutoSS was not changing channels)
* Added an Edited version of Mass Upgrade to work with the bot. (All credit to Remco Mulder for a fine script)
* Added an entry for WSST to the default z-options.cfg file created when Z-Bot is first run.

Thanks to you and to everyone that make scripts public, your hard work and time is a great contribution to the continuation of this game. I for one, probably would not be playing anymore if it was not for good hearted people like U and others that share their hard work.
I can't thank all of you enough.

Z-Bot has been updated to 1.18 both in the ZedPack and as a standalone download.

The changes are:

* Added the SAFETYNET bot command to turn ON/OFF the safetynet. (xports you to a safeship when under threat)
* Added a hotkey to toggle SAFETYNET. (SHIFT-S by default) - add the following to the z-options.cfg file: SAFETYNETKEY: S
* Added the SAFESHIP bot command to allow setting the safeship remotely.
* Added the SAFETYNET status to the STATUS screen.
* Added Limp trigger to PDrop routine.
* Added code to the Bot and to Figmon so that they keep each other running if 1 or the other stops (checks approx every 10 mins)
* Fixed Xport Update option so that it doesnt interfere with WSST when it xports from ship to ship.
* Added IG check to XPORT command.
* Removed the MSLs from the AMTRAK list.
* Added the MSLS bot command to create a list of MSLs.
* Tidied up the Hotkey screen

Also note that Z-FigMon has been updated both in the ZedPack and as a separate download.

Z-Bot has been updated to 1.19 with a few fixes.

Please note that the ZedPack has been moved to the new Tradewars website at http://tradewarsportal.com

Just so everyone is clear on this .. you registered on this site the same as you would on Archy's

So I don't see where there is an issue with the process ....

And to those who don't or won't use .cts files
Please feel free to send a few $$ = to normal wages @ about 2 to 4 hrs time. (above minimal wage)
This might encourage others to release source to you.

I know I might for the $$$

But for the most part .. free is good
