Clan's bot (specifications and agreement)
Posted: 24 Nov 2008, 00:25
Hello all,
I'm posting here after a discussion during the HMC meeting, and talking about it with Jaxad and Platyna. Jaxad said me to ask to Platyna about bot request, and Platyna said me she leaved the project. Platyna said that she was against bots which are getting xp/items and money.
They are a lot of tasks that a clan leader encounter which can be automatized. The bot will save every clan leader time, so they could do more useful things which can't be automatized, like enjoying the game, help other players, and participate to events.
The idea of this post is to define functionalities of clan's bot which are acceptable for all the tmw community. I tried, with Jarvellis, to define some basic specifications. Feel free to add comments, restrictions or other features.
We are conscious that we need to prevent some server (and bot) attacks like flood. We keep it in mind in every moment. Feel free to add more security things we need to keep in mind (not sure that thetre's a lot more than flood though).
HMC Clan's Bot:
-subscription confirmation
it's useful to prevent persons to register char which belong to someone else
-donations and bank bots management
the bot will accept donations from members, and put them on a second kind of bot dedicated to keep items. We could define clan quotas of items. But actually there's no problem.
-bot help command
something like "/whisper mybot help bot", will give the internal help of the bot.
-memoserv
a member could register a message for an other member. This second member will receive the message next time he talk to the bot.
-jobs,ranks and rares management
the idea here is to give the possibility to the member to subscribe to a list for each particular things: a job, a rank or to get a rare. The bot will keep an ordered list. The bot will wait for a validation from a bot admin
-clan help
like the npc who can give help for the game, we can give help about clan rules like "/whisper mybot help PP"
-administration interface
locally we will be able to manage the bot with greater access, to setup special clan rules. The idea is to have a generic clan bot, and every clan customize it to feet their needs.
