Hi all,
Just wondering if this sounds like a reasonable idea/it has been done already.
Many of us have our own guilds in which our bots reside. I was thinking perhaps it would make sense to have the bots 'chat' to each other in /g chat - this way it looks like the bots are actually doing something other than flying around gathering nodes for 8 hours straight. Of course there are probably other plugins/methods out there for bots that are in 'real' guilds.
The chat would need to make sense, so perhaps what I am thinking, is you have a txt file containing a chat log of some sort (perhaps recorded out of a real guide chat at some point in time), and some sort of random timer for a response.
Eg.
Bot 1 loads up this plugin, and A.txt. A.txt contains the following lines,
Hi Bob, how's it going?
Yeah not bad.
Lot's of work mainly.
Bot 2 loads up this plugin, and B.txt. B.txt contains the following lines,
Hi Tim, not too bad. How about you?
What have you been up to?
Boring.
So essentially each bot would not send a /g reply until it saw the other bot print something.
This way it is a back and forth conversation of sorts.
Obviously the chat would need to be longer than that, hence some sort of ability to record a real guild chat and extract parts into the 2 files (or how ever many chatters you need).
What I am thinking is that by doing this, it just looks like to friends in a guild (our bot guild) talking to each other... again, not really to be used in a normal non bot guild.
Thoughts?
