Jaimbot as an NT Service

2006-02-28T01:48:21Z

This patch, if unzipped into the final jaimbot
directory will allow jaimbot to run on windows as an NT
service. In layman's terms it means
1. you can run this on windows NT without the obnoxious
dos-box on your taskbar all the time
2. it can run independant of who's logged on (or off)
the machine

to use, simply
1. unzip directly into the jaimbot folder
2. in the bin folder, open "installJaimbot-NT.bat"
3. also in the bin folder, open "runJaimbot.bat"

Alternatively, once you have run the "install" you can
start/stop it from services under administrative tools
in the windows control panel.

Dynamically reloadable modules

2004-08-23T16:41:43Z

This patch to AIMBot.java changes the way classes are loaded. A
URLClassLoader is created for each module, then the class is
loaded by that classloader. This can make module development
easier by reducing the amount of server restarts.

To use this:

-- patch build.xml and AIMBot.java
-- VERY IMPORTANT: create a directory in the jaimbot root (in the
same dir as build.xml) called modules
-- Move all the src/com/levelonelabs/aimbot/modules to modules/
src/com/levelonelabs/aimbot/modules
-- Make sure you clean out the old built classes (ant clean)
-- Make sure when you run AIMBot, you DON'T include modules/
classes in the classpath.

Once built, start up the jaimbot and use the "reload" admin
command to reload a module by number (i.e.: reload 13).

Note: It doesn't look like the classloader and bot module classes
get garbage collected after the module is reloaded, so it's highly
likely there's a leak.

auto-persist feature....should've had this from the beginnin

2004-02-06T19:36:49Z

I wrote an auto-persist feature with a shutdown handler

This patch to AIMBot.java will automatically persist the
bot whenever it is closed, reguardless how it is
closed..IE: close the dos box/shutdown the system/etc.

it is linked to a setting in the bot.config called
bot.autopersist which defaults to true

enjoy

AutoSplit

2004-01-18T20:57:00Z

This addition to AIMClient allows it to support auto-
splitting messages that are too long, it also adds a new
constant MAXMESSAGELENGTH which can be changed to
adapt to the aim standard

ListModule-Minor Tweak

2004-01-18T00:08:44Z

I know this is a very minor change, but after extensively
using the list module, I've found it's much more useful to
use the addlistmember feature as addlistmember
LISTNAME BUDDYNAME rather than addlistmember
BUDDYNAME LISTNAME

the 1st (new) way, I can copy "addlistmember listname "
into the clipboard, and only type the buddyname to add
a number of people at once

all I did was switch which line is read first by the string
tokenizer and change the help text

alternatively it was rather annoying

User Info Update

2004-01-17T19:26:37Z

This is a minor, but necissary tweak, the User admin
module only posted a single markup, * for when the
users's never messaged the bot, A for adimn, E for
enemy and - for banned. I added M for user has
messages pending, and changed the command so that
all items applicable to the user are displayed

Forward Module

2003-12-26T03:59:10Z

Please disreguard the earlier one
This is an updated version with everything working
properly

The only thing not working is that I cannot persist it if
the bot is closed. if anyone has any ideas how this
could be done, please let me know

New Module...forwarder Module

2003-12-24T04:04:58Z

This Module will act as a more presentable default
module than megahal. I get annoyed when people teach
mine to swear

This module includes a optional forwardto function that
allows the admin to set a screen name that any
commands the bot doesn't process will be sent to

also, it includes an addterm function, where the admin
can add a list of things the bot can reply to a
message... IE: bot could be used to advertise future
events, etc.

Since thus far, you can't persist module data as far as I
know, both of these are cleared on restart, but that
could be easily fixed with a persistance routine when
one's availible

New Module

2003-10-25T15:05:13Z

This is a new Module, if someone wanted to set up a bot
without the MegaHal. This bot simply responds to
everything other than a command with

I'm sorry, I don't understand that command
please type "help" for help

Additionally, and addterm service could later be added to
this module (I didn't implement it yet, because I'm not
real sure on the persistence code) so that the bot
would respond with various (potentially advertisement)
phrases when a user enters a non-command

another list mod patch

2003-10-23T01:28:25Z

This patch adds 2 admin only commands:
addlistmember buddyname listname
rmlistmember buddyname listname

these allow admins to add and remove users from lists

hope this is helpful
