Yeah, so I have been trying to make a robot (kind of how like HBOT was) and have been failing. I found this program called Minebot that said it could run scripts, but couldn't get it to work. Anyone who has spare time and is bored, mind working on this little project of mine?

If interested, here is how I'm wanting it to work. Would like to be able to add more commands
to it later on.

How the robot works:
For every 20 blocks placed, FFBot will give you 10 experience points.
For every 20 blocks deleted, FFBot will give you 2 experience points.
For every 6 cuboids used, FFBot will give you 20 experience points
For every 50 messages written, FFBot will give you 35 experience points.
For every hour you are on, FFBot will give you 5 experience points
For every player you kick, FFBot will deduct 3 experience points
For every player you warn, FFBot will give you 2 experience points.
Every 100,000 blocks placed, FFBot will give you 500 experience points.
Every day since the login, FFBot will give you 1 experience point.
Every hour, FFBot will run a lottery, the numbers will be between 1 and 30. Jackpot is 100 experience points.
Every time you are kicked, FFBot will deduct 300 experience points.

Overlord: Appointed by a vote of all Overlords
Admin: Appointed by an Overlord only
Operator: 10,000xp / 2000msgs written
Guard: 5000xp / 550msgs written
Officer: 2000xp / 300msgs written
Civilian: 750xp / 150msgs written
Worker: 300xp / 50msgs written

FFBot commands:

@FFBot lottery [pick a number between 1 and 30]
@FFBot xp (short for experience points)
@FFBot warn [player's name] (also awards you 2 experience points, after the second warning, the player is frozen by FFBot and warned more strictly, third warning, FFBot will kick the player, deducting 3 experience points from you)
@FFBot help (will show a list of FFBot commands)
@FFBot rank req (short for rank requirements)
@FFBot time (will show the time the lottery is on and when it will be picked)
@FFBot report [type your complaint/report here] (After the first line, FFBot will ask if you wish to continue the message, just type @FFBot ok then continue it. Once finished, you type @FFBot finish)
@FFBot announce [message here] (pay FFBot 50 experience points to make an announcement for you with the /say command)
@FFBot tp [player's name] (pay FFBot 10 experience points to teleport you to another player)
@FFBot check [player's name] (see how much experience points another player has)

More commands to come.

Uh, couldn't this be pretty abusable? Then again, Iunno how FB's ranks work right now.

Also, I see the reasoning behind deducting XP for a kick, but it seems like it could be painful if all the people on are too obsessed with promotion.

Also, the message written and warning stuff could lead to occasional spamming. I mean, of course, there would be consequences, but it'd be way abusable.

Well this is for my server, not this one. This is just the start, want to make it RPGish one day.

Oh yeah and fcraft has chat spam protection, I could just increase it up a few notches.

Ah, ok.

Yeah, I honestly have no clue how to do any of that. But if I did, I'd help.

Own server, but you're advertising and seeking help here?

Am I the only one that's raising and eyebrow?

His server is pretty cool, dw =P

his server has messages to join and check out special attack.net.. so in fact hes turning people to this server also.

Right off the bat, the "place blocks for xp" concept is virtually impossible. The server doesn't send the ID of the player placing the block to the clients. It would take some pretty fancy coding to figure out who was placing the blocks client side.

The "time in server" thing should be fine, and all the ffbot commands should be doable by simply passing commands.

I don't really have the extra time to help, but if you have any questions, just ask. I really would suggest learning java at a more basic level before trying this.

We support gaming in general, so I don't see much of an issue here. (Of course there are limits, but this is fine imo)

Also, another thing to note is that he doesn't say "Hey, guys, come to my server!", rather, he says "Hey, can I get help with a server?". Asking for help is different from trying to split the community or draw them away from our own servers.

Umm.. yeah I didn't even say the name of it

Java doesn't seem too bad to figure out, I've already changed lots on HBOT . Only thing is.. her auto responder doesn't work

her autoresponder is the one part that shouldn't EVER break. XD

Are you getting a warning, or an error?

Hello, today is December 30, 110 and this site is Y2K compatible.

Whenever I compile it, it beeps and highlights this on the EMCBot:

server = new Socket(parser.ip, Integer.parser.port);

When I right click on Main and void to run it. It logs in and just sits there.

I haven't messed too much with the auto responder.

import java.util.*;

public class Autoresponder
{
    
    ArrayList filters = new ArrayList();
    
    public Autoresponder()
    {
        

        

    }
    
    public void initChatFreebuild() {
                //SAMPLE RESPONSES TAILORED FOR SpecialAttack.net Freebuild
                

        filters.add(new Autoresponse(
        "Hello FFBot",
        "{player}, Welcome to the server!"
        ));
        filters.add(new Autoresponse(
        "Good",
        "Glad to hear that {player}. Anything I can help you with today?"
        ));
        filters.add(new Autoresponse(
        "HBOT, should scrathy and pure die?",
        "Yes. Shall I kill them?"
        ));
        filters.add(new Autoresponse(
        "Be my guest, HBOT.",
        "With pleasure."
        ));

    }
    
    public void test(EMCBot bot, String message, String callingPlayer) throws Exception
    {
            
        for (int x = 0; x < filters.size(); x ++)
        {
            if (((Autoresponse)(filters.get(x))).isMatch(message))
            {
                bot.say(((Autoresponse)(filters.get(x))).getResponse(callingPlayer));
                System.out.println("Responding to " + message + " with " + ((Autoresponse)(filters.get(x))).getResponse(callingPlayer));
            }
        }
    }

}
