Revelation Bot!

Joe · December 27, 2005, 12:18:34 AM

You all think I'm insane, and will have that thought reinforced after reading this post. You'll live.

Revelation Bot will be a Battle.net Bot that is aimed to make all the features available in the client available through the bot, much like LoRd[nK]'s BBBB. The difference, though, is that I'm placing the core of the bot in an OCX like CleanSlateBot called RevelationBotCore.

RevelationBot
I'm looking to create an easy-to-use, user-friendly, yet attractive bot, that even your little sister could use. This will have the standard features that all bots should have, a configuration form, a queue, etc, yet have more options as well, such as to display ads, download files from BNFTP, and to use BCP plugins.

RevelationBotCore
This will be a collection of User Controls that aim to make Battle.net bot programming as easy as possible, even more than the CSB did. A few features will be a complete BNCS gateway (for lack of a better word) like CSB, an improved picture box control that allows use of PCX files, and in the future SMK files, and even a blocking Winsock.

I'm looking to implement most stuff that DLL's are used for, such as CheckRevision and CDKey decoding, right into the bot.

Wish me luck.

EDIT -
I guess I forgot to say this, but..

This is very likely to be my last endeavor into Battle.net bot programming with Visual Basic, and because of that, I'm going to do my absolute best work on this, revising every piece of code until its pretty and stuff like that, and then relase it open source for all the little people to enjoy! =)

Am I mistaken or have you already said this? :P

I'm pretty sure your right. =p

You know, if you have three products that do the same thing...

Hm?

SID_LOCALEINFO is a real nogginscratcher.

No, I thought we were doing ASJP.

Coding slopped itself. Cleaning up.

EDIT -
Removed some On Error Resume Next uglinesses from clsPacketDebuffer of RBC.

EDIT -
Working on the configuration form. I'm breaking a sweat from typing.

EDIT -
PRETTY!

You can't put a copyright date for the FUTURE, Joe.

The image is clearly from 2005. That is fraud, Joe.

I used my time machine to take it, boo @ rabbit. Actually, its copyrighted until 70 years after I die, but who's going to count? =p

But you can't put the copyright date as "2005 to 20XX + 70".

I hope you're using a socket for that news lookup...

That listview looks mighty small to me. :/
