IF THERE IS A BUG OR SOMEONE IS TRYING TO EXPLOIT THE BOT IN A WAY THAT I DO NOT KNOW OF, PLEASE USE /p kaos report (message) .. This goes for any issues/questions/concerns that arise!

As you know, I am working on a event bot. Here and there I will test things. It will be moderated by me until deemed fit to be run alone (and by admins.) If anything does happen or an error occurs during, I will take over the event manually. The bot currently is in 'test mode' so if anything does happen or an issue occurs, it happens. In the end it will be worthwhile for all RoKers.

This post is merely rules and general questions about the bot. I will continue adding rules for each event that can be automated. In no way will this change manual events, as the bot can only run generic events, nothing too special or beyond the limits of the bot. Most issues are solved via the bot automation, or adding specific details to the event rooms to prevent issues.

The three events I hope to try to automate first are: Midnight Mosh (Not everyday.), 3vs3 Eliminations, Cycle Down. In general, I am hoping the bot will be able to assist with general everyday events, such as food/water/healing where needed. For now, we are testing Midnight Mosh at random times.

Rules - Generic -If you attack the bot or another player via spells or physical attack during warpins, you will be jailed with no warnings. -Do not try to exploit the bot, doing so will have you banned from entering automated events. The bot is made for your enjoyment, so let's keep it that way. -If there are any bugs, you can report them to NiteHawk@RealmsofKaos.com with a detailed log/issue. -If you are jailed and there are no staffers are on, you will have to wait until the event is over. The bot will unjail anyone that is jailed 2 minutes after the winner is declared, so gives you enough time to relog the characters. If you have to leave, you will have to ask a staffer to unjail you another time. Simply put, don't cheat or be stupid.

Rules - Midnight Mosh -20 to 25 minutes until elimination, this cannot be changed as the event is being run. -Sometimes parties to not follow due to the party bug where there are to many players in a square, this occurs normally in the initial room, you must move yourself before go is called, otherwise, you die by Kaos for not leaving the initial room. -If you have more then 5 in a party (not including monsters) one party member will be jailed until your party is a team of 5. -No IDP potions(invis pot) or being invisible during 'warp-in'. The bot NEEDS to be able to see you during warpin to verify you are there, else he will warp you back to the tavern and having the bot ignore you for that event. If you are a sorcerer, you will have time for your invisible spell to wear off (5 minutes for warpin, 2 minutes for eliminations.) If you use an IDP potion during battle, make sure you have enough time to become 'visible', else you will be booted out when eliminations are called. -Level 10 to 25 only (First area is level locked to prevent issues.) -You must move quickly when the bot tells you to SPREAD OUT (By going DOWN into the arena). After GO is called, you have 10 seconds to move before the bot spawns a one-hitter, which will ultimately end your experience. -If you go DOWN before GO is called, and you do get attacked, then it is your own fault for not waiting. However, if SPREAD OUT/GO/STOP is called, and you do not stop within a couple seconds (We all know everyone has delays when they see STOP.) and you are reported, you will be banned from automated events. -In eliminations, the bot will make sure you are still around via an /invite, there is no need to join up. It is simply to make sure you are around and didn't get disconnected with no disconnection message. -Last person standing wins. If your alts are still alive, you will need to kill them off. -Do not sit and talk during eliminations, everything is logged, if this is seen, you will be banned from automated events, simply put. -Logging off puts you in the disqualification area with no chance to re-enter. So if you need to leave, just log off and you will be back in the tavern. If you accidentally log off during initial warp-ins, then he will allow you to be rwarped back up to 3 times. -Anything else is allowed! (Including all items!) In general, the rules are locked down and tight as possible here, while still being enjoyable. If you do have an issue with someone, in the future there will be way to submit a report. For now I will be watching. The bot will be very strict, there is no tolerance for being stupid. Please post any general inquiries/issues here.

In the works, commented out for now. Quote: Rules - Class Events -20 minutes until elimination, this cannot be changed as the event is being run. -No parties allowed! If I catch you, I will jail you! -No IDP potions(invis pot) or being invisible during 'warp-in'. The bot NEEDS to be able to see you during warpin to verify you are there, else he will warp you back to the tavern and having the bot ignore you for that event. If you are a sorcerer, you will have time for your invisible spell to wear off (5 minutes for warpin, 2 minutes for eliminations.) If you use an IDP potion during battle, make sure you have enough time to become 'visible', else you will be booted out when eliminations are called. -With the above rule, if you are a sorc, you can use Igwuanti after call, but if you aren't invis while I call for elims, I will boot you out. Please make sure I can see you before call in. I will give extra time while calling in eliminations, about 4 minutes so you can become un-invisible. -Level 10 to 25 only (First area is level locked to prevent issues.) -You must move quickly when the bot tells you to SPREAD OUT (By going DOWN into the arena). After GO is called, you have 10 seconds to move before the bot spawns a one-hitter, which will ultimately end your experience. -If you go DOWN before GO is called, and you do get attacked, then it is your own fault for not waiting.

So if you need to leave, just log off and you will be back in the tavern. -Pots/Mana will be done via class in the bcast! -Alts are allowed -Brill renames are allowed, questies with special bonuses are not. In general, the rules are locked down and tight as possible here, while still being enjoyable. If you do have an issue with someone, in the future there will be way to submit a report. For now I will be watching. The bot will be very strict, there is no tolerance for being stupid. Please post any general inquiries/issues here.

EDIT A couple things have been brought to my attention that need to be addressed.

1. The automatic removal when you disconnect needs to be in place. There is no possible way to note when people disconnect or reconnect in any proper way, specially in 9 squares. If you get disconnected, unfortunately, you are out. I cannot set any 'timer' to keep you in after x amount of seconds, the room files are either 'place you here on disconnect' or nothing at all. To make this work, it needs to move you out. Sorry folks.

2. Some people have been attacked before GO is called, when the bot tells you to 'SPREAD OUT'. The issue here is Kaos cannot monitor 9 squares at the start, so people take advantage of this. THIS WILL STOP NOW. Please send a LOG if you find someone attacking before GO is called. Please do not send any old logs, this starts 'TODAY'. So anything from today continuing on, please send a log and I will take care of this.

Anyone who attacks before GO is called, your first offense will be 1 month event ban, then 2 months event ban, then 3 months, etc. I'm not going to play around here, and its obvious what some people have been doing. So please stop, play fair guys. Don't make me stop Kaos.

Also, I decided I'll finish class wars for the bot, I'll figure this out soon but since I did most of the coding for this previously, I suppose I can get it done soon. I know I stated some sort of TGC would be next, but TGC coding requires alot of work compared to class wars.

Thanks.

Thanks!
