bots?

Minipixel · Post by **Minipixel** » Sun May 20, 2007 11:54 am

Hi,

Got some questions about the bots (doh hehe).

(1) For what language (so vb?vb.net?C++? etc) will there come a bot development kit?
(2) Will there be any restrictions while making your bot? (while programming)
(3) Will there be an official bot world, will there be build options too (which we always missed in Active Worlds)?
(4) Will there be an official bot team, and which lang. must they know then?

Thats it i think else i would add it. ${L_SMILIES_RAZZ}$

Hi ${L_SMILIES_SMILE}$

(1) For what language (so vb?vb.net?C++? etc) will there come a bot development kit?

The official Bot SDK will probably be made in C or C++. But someone could write wrappers for other languages if necessary.

(2) Will there be any restrictions while making your bot? (while programming)

I'm not sure what kind of restrictions you are talking about, maybe you could explain this a little more.

(3) Will there be an official bot world, will there be build options too (which we always missed in Active Worlds)?

Probably, but I'm not sure about the building rights. You could still just ask for building rights.

(4) Will there be an official bot team, and which lang. must they know then?

If there will be a bot team they would probably need to know some C and C++. Unless there's a bot SDK wrapper for another language.

Some of the answers to your questions may change in the future but this is as it stands right now.

The last major release of VB6 was 9 years ago, don't you think it's time to move to something newer? Maybe I will write a .Net wrapper which will automaticly support VB.Net

Edit: changed automaticly supports VB6 to VB.Net

Really want arguments against vb? the list will probly so long that this topic cant load anymore and you get a time out. ${L_SMILIES_WINK}$
On the other side, with vb you can make big things easily in a few minutes which saves some time.
Well for bots its good enough, but i preffer C++ or vb.net..

yes i know it sucks ${L_SMILIES_RAZZ}$
but i'm used to vb now, and it took me quite long to learn it.
so if i start with c# or c++, it will take me even a longer time to be really good at it ${L_SMILIES_SAD}$

but if VP doesn't support Vb bots, it might be a great chance to start with c# ^^

pleaasseee, make a vb6 wrapper!
i just don't get VB.net or C++!

I just figured out how to make a wrapper for VB6 so I can still make a wrapper for it. ${L_SMILIES_SMILE}$
Edit: I have to figure out another way to do it because what I was thinking of doesn't allow me to create events. ${L_SMILIES_SAD}$

Public event <eventname> (arguments)

I would do that if I was going to write a separate VB SDK, but I want to create a wrapper around a C library.
