Greetings, everybody. This post is more of a mirror of the post on the newsgroup, but since I compared the flux of the newsgroup and this forum, I thought I might find some audience here too >:] The point is, I started working on a bot for ADoM. I've almost reached the third version. Here's some history: The first version was written on my laptop 486 under DOS. It was a TSR that activated by a hotkey. All it could do is scum the first two levels of ID (however fully esploring them b4 leaving), eating stuff, and picking up possibly valuable stuff (magical items: potions/scrolls/wands/SPELLBOOKS/rings/amulets/ etc), halting when HP was low or an evil keyword was detected. However, it completely refused to run on ANY version of Windows (ok, v3.11 and below not tested >:]) Version 2 was a port to Windows, and with v2.1 a demo-recorder (similar to DemoWorkshop, but with higher quality&compression) was added. However, the people on the newsgroup gave me an excellent idea. I've implemented a script-like language, to control the bot behavior. Now everybody can write his own PC behavior program for ADoM. But that's not all. I'm going to add something like NhSound for ADoM into it, and really think about making a tiled wrapper for the text window, so the game will look no worse than NetHack, for instance. Positions for tile drawers soon available >:] Will be glad to read your comments/suggestions. Oh, almost forgot: you can download v2.1 from: http://www.geocities.com/pv_wer/adombot.zip [Edited 2 times, last edit on 10/10/2003 at 16:37 (GMT -5) by The_CyberShadow] |

It looks nice.... It runs well on this PC, but anything other than this one (like my 300 mhz crappy one) it will run slow. That's my only complaint. :-). |

It runs well with both the DOS version under Windows, and with the native WinBeta4, just better with the latter. The reason is that DOS programs, especially in the foreground, take up most CPU time. Try to: 1) Switch to the Windows version (savegame files are compatible), 2) Increase the timer resolution in the Options panel. You can especially neglect the map/bars option, as it seems to consume much CPU time regardless of all the optimizations. As for the Bot timer, it also affects the bot speed. Increase this if ADoM fails to process all the keystrokes sent to it in time, and the bot sends keystrokes several times (ex. if you see messages like "Ouch! You hit the wall.") I might add AdomSage compatibility. The bot also does not understand flying missiles and spell rays. Setting Base_Delay_Factor to zero solves this, but you won't see any effects. Also, an undocumented feature: press "b" in the game window to enable/disable the bot. Pressing space will also halt the bot, provided that a Unknown command: '"' message must be generated.

I use Windows XP, so DOS version doesn't work to well. :-). ADOM-Sage compatibility would be great, as that's the platform that has values that actually stay. :-) |

That's some great job you've done there with the bot! Keep up the good work! If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

The newest version of ADOM-Bot is out. It's (currently) only for Winbeta4, but ADOM-Sage support will be added once again soon. An item editor (grin), and a script debugger have been added. Many bugs fixed. Demo recorder works again. http://www.geocities.com/adombot/ (ignore the fact that it looks like the webpage hasn't been changed. The files at least have. And ADOM-Sage compatibility will be added sometime soon, ignore the homepage message about that) "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him."- Voltaire "Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven."- John Milton, Paradise Lost "Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors.

Hello... It's me, once again here to yap about an Yet Another AdomBot release. What's new: - First of all, ADOM-Sage compatibility is back. (Yay!) - Next, there are a LOT of new cheats, including an improved item editor, a player and map editor. - MonsterDex has been improved by adding search and filter. - Better sound support - wait for Denis's sound pack - Regexp and text file support for scripts - There are many other minor add-ons and bug-fixes. See for yourself >:] http://www.geocities.com/adombot/ Note that the site is out of date. Just download adombot.zip >:] |

The guys from RGRA keep pushing me to make a linux port for all the linuxoids. If I'll start on it, it will take me much time (may be a few months) and many features (like tiles, translation etc.) will have to be post-poned.

A map editor?! Wow. *checks it out, oohs, and ahhs* Linux port would be kinda nice, considering that a lot of people I know use the actual linux version (Not ADOM-Sage, I'm saying). Though, since they're pushing you to make a port so much, they should either help, or wait patiently for it sometime later. The text for the buttons look like crap when you have ClearType on. I think I'll shut up now, thanks to my stunned reaction to the cheats section. Oi. Doing identify, then recharge, then ident, then recharge, then ident crashes the game. :-/.

Hmmm when you say NhSound does that mean ADOM will have sound effects because that'll be pretty cool and the item editor sounds good. Oh yeah and is this bot for version 1.1.1?(Fingers crossed...c'mon...blows out candle and makes a wish...Suddenly! A djinni appears before you!

To Jonesy: Text on buttons: fixed. I was less experienced when I wrote the button control, and I couldn't find how to write text without filling it's background with a solid color. That's why I had to look for pixels that weren't of the font's color and fill them with the interpolated colors. It looks well without text smoothing, but now that it's fixed, it looks as well and draws twice as fast, thx >:] Cheats section: I've only begun >:] Identify/Recharge/Identify/Recharge/Identify crash: AdomBot crashes ADOM when trying to modify an item whose address has been changed. So, after you've made ANY action with the inventory, even if you displayed it (ADOM sorts objects by item type on displaying), you MUST press Refresh to avoid crashing ADOM. Better, press Refresh every time you pressed any key in ADOM. If you didn't press anything and pressed these buttons after pressing "Refresh" and without switching to ADOM, that is a bug indeed. Send me your SVG please. To Chris: The site is out-of-date. The sound effects are already implemented, you can download my rather slim sound pack from AdomBot's homepage or you can wait for Denis to release a more complex sound pack. The only ADOM version this version will run on is v1.1.1, Windows (beta4) and Linux (ADOM-Sage) ports. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 1/12/2004 at 05:29 (GMT -5) by The_CyberShadow] |

What do you mean - the site's down? I just checked - all OK! What error do you get? Maybe it was because the traffic limit was trespassed because everybody started to download AdomBot (happened to me once when I released the first beta of The Master's Pokedex Advance) >:] Yes, I know that GeoCities has a mediocre hosting. Once, half of my homepage (see sig) disappeared for no apparent reason. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 1/12/2004 at 11:38 (GMT -5) by The_CyberShadow] |

Huh? I expect AdomBot to run (sluggish, but still work) on a Windows 98 with 32 MB RAM. And when do you get the error? When you start AdomBot, when you lock-on to ADOM, or when you load a script? Have you tried increasing the size of your swap file? |

I got something messed up with the Sage version. When I start Bot and lock on, it starts saying "wrong disk blaah blaah" and points to my D drive (cd rom) and gives me retry fail error options. What's up with that? |

Never heard of that before. Oi. I discovered a bug (if you could call it that). Putting an altar on a level generates an altar alright. Except for the fact that it isn't aligned to anything, which causes the game to crash. At least I think that is the cause.

Yeah, I noticed the same as Jonesy. The altar is displayed red and the game crashes giving a reason of altar not being on the level. |
