| Zyroth | Hi Guys, I am completely new to anything that's about Network Communication. Here's what I've done: - PHP Scripting - Delphi Low Level Applications - Computer Science in my final exams... so I know basics like Recursion, Sort Algorithm, Micro Programming, Data Structures, etc. Here's what I want to do: Write a Battle.Net Bot in Python with help of the "Twisted Matrix" which is able to run on my clan's dedicated Debian Server and is able to do the following: - Moderate/Operate the Channel "clan xxx" (BG3 can do this, so can I =) ) - Transfer Chat from Battle.net to IRC and back I am completely aware of the fact, that this might be the work of half a year, but I am eager to learn. ;) Anyone has got an advice, where and how I can start? I read through some of the documents at the Bot-Dev Site, but did not find something like a "Hello World" Tutorial... Thx, Zyr | December 22, 2003, 1:15 PM |

[/quote] The bot development web site wasn't meant to be a walk-through on how to write a bot. It's an archive of resources from the old bot development forums which would be useful for developers. | December 22, 2003, 3:31 PM |

Thx, Zyr [/quote] A long time ago (~3 years), I posted a series of articles on how to write a VB Chat bot. It was effectively a "Hello, World" for bots that got you up and running. I believe BnetDocs or the BotDev site might have a link to that forum article. | December 22, 2003, 3:44 PM |

The C code is (IMO) often better, but the VB code is more plentiful (on account of more VB newbies begging for help than C newbies, I think). | December 22, 2003, 5:15 PM |
| Grok | Additionally, Lord`Bacca modified and released an enhanced GreetBot for C++ programmers. It is documented pretty well, and should be the newb C++ bot programmer's starting place. | December 22, 2003, 5:19 PM |

If I will (one day :)) succeed with Battle.Net-Bot-Programming, I may contribute one. All the others: Thx very much! | December 22, 2003, 6:02 PM |

But for an almost full, featured bot, you can download this Visual Basic source of a chat bot created by our good friend Grok aswell.
