capping equality....

Dec 13, 2003 spectre_c_me link
well... this may sound stupid but with a perfected idea (yes im still hoping the community can create 1 idea to agree on) i was thinking that a bot could be created or maybe a set of players who would volunteer to be on during certain times of the day and night to give money to the players who helped with the cap. this bot/or player like the guides but only with a "money cheat" to give equal amounts of money (25k maybe) to the players of that nation who helped in the cap. that way the player or bot (if a bot could be created it would be good because players would accuse the player giving money for caps of giving more to 1 player for "favortism") could give that player an amount of money for their efforts in the cap. im not sure how something of this idea would be introduced if it could at all, but it was just a thought.

a kind of guide that speacializes in the capping hand outs only... during the last version players complained about other players being afk just to collect capping money. itani players were accused of this constantly. this would stop any unfair advantages that a nation would get for having many players on for loads of money. only the players who helped in the cap would be recieving money. i was kinda hoping that this would bring capping back to a stable source of income and fun. well not stable but a source for more than just 1 person... i guess im thinking reliable. its just a thought

if you really want a bot to do that for you, why not write one by yourself or get someone to write it?
the devs needn't be bothered by this kind of trifle. especially with the given fact that others have managed to write perfectly good bots for bounty handling, money handling, targetting and guild administration.

Any n00b guide to vendetta-bot-writing?

Well, that depends on your OS. If you're in Windows, you first write an interface to the API that grabs the Vendetta window, then sends keystrokes to it via a separate interface function... If you're in Linux, you'll want to be sending false events to an entire X Session. In Mac, well, ask bb.

Modifying the source of a screen-keyboard progam and link it with the error log, that`s basicly it?

No.

hmm, i wanna learn how to do this, what kind of coding do you need to learn in order to write stuff like this? I've got some good bot ideas

Heh, it would be funny if you could place a bounty on another nation's flag via "BountyBot"

"BountyBot is sending Phoenix 200,000 credits for capturing Red Nation's flag!"

Jm262, you need to know how to send fake window signals. Either through the Windows API or through X. There is some way to do it in Mac OS X, but it's so totally different from the others that I have no clue what it is.
