Only thing I see on Castaway is the support link, not the downloadable.



Are others using a different buffbot app?

<< You have to register for the forum to download. >>

And your point is? Registering isn't a very hard thing to do. If someone posted here they managed to at least do it once.

If someone finds it difficult though: http://www.buwahaha.com/CastawayBot/release/CastAway.msi

It would be nice if there was something that told you nothing will show up til you register. Most that have you register at least show there is topics or messages, just don't let you open them until registered. When I went there it just looked like it was empty as if no posts had been made. Thankfully I saw this post and went back and registered and what do you know, there is posts. happy

My guess is that you use Comcast and your IP address falls into the range of those of some spammers that I banned. PM me your IP address and I can check (even if you don't use Comcast).

LOL nice happy

It's not a lot of work... if you (not @ Maddy, the other guy) think getting to a DL to get the file to run a bot is 'work' frankly, you really don't want to run a buffbot anyway! people can be pretty rude and do dumb things (like get themselves banned because they spam the bot and don't understand why they're banned.)

Maddy, quick question about the future of castaway (no need for a QUICK response)

as there are now the incantation of hermetic Link and Heart Seeker at least that a buffbot can learn and cast on other's weapons (already updated one of my two bots with it, need more comps ect for the 2nd and he is casting fine) will there be an update to Castaway to broadcast the newer blue scarabs in possession/set-minimum?

I must be in the range of ip adresses you banned as I can't get to your site either. However, I have a question regarding gems for portals. I stocked my bot with gems for all the towns and master mages. There is one that can't be summoned, Xarabydun. Any ideas on why not? Thanks.

funny man


first you had to register, then if you use gmail, you couldnt register.
then some couldnt DL because of their IP address, then I guess you changed it to where you dont have to register or something?

I dont know, I dont care.
I was just making a comment that that is a little more of a hassle than needed to DL a file.
Especially if you just posed a direct link to it, yet you want people to register to your board for some reason.


Waiting for more witty responses from you Maddy.

forgot to mention one confusing thing for the users of the buffbot.

bot quite often doesn't zero out armor items found for baning. ie. first buffee has 6, second has 7, second can be told 13 items were found to be buffed.

this usually happens especially if they are experienced users and know what banes are avail so instead of witing out the full x seconds for the please tell me which bane .... they just follow up with a /rt ....bane.

late in the day being told 200 items found to be baned is confusing to a new user.


thanks, and once again sorry didn't mention this with the blue scarabs.

Sounds like something isn't being zero'ed out. I haven't seen this issue but will look at things.

"then if you use gmail, you couldnt register"

Two pieces of advice for Lord A.

1. Don't use my problem to add to your burden.

2. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

well

1. my email is a gmail address.
2. If you know how to comprehend sentences, then you would see that what I said was an observation, hence me saying "seems"
Nice try though tevatron

Like I said, I really dont care, I never visited his little website to see what other "burdens" there were to download a file.
I was saying that it SEEMED like a hassle, (forgive me for my opinion,) which obviously it was, since now I guess you dont need to register to see the links

Nice job of taking a harmless statement and escalating it tho Maddy, very cool of you, I mean really mature.

reading comprehension is something everyone should have.


I dont care what steps you have to do to download a buffbot program, (since I dont even play AC)



There you go, now you dont have to actually use your brains and figure out what I am talking about.

Lord Anton,

I'll try to lay this out as simply as possible.

Before I went to the site, Maddy had enabled you to download the file without registering. I easily downloaded the file, however I wanted to register so that I could post on the website in order to offer feedback, troubleshoot and share custom XML files (translated bot commands are a huge benefit for players that don't speak english, if you ever play AC again I could provide you a buff bot file with VERY simple instructions, for you to pass on to your favorite buff bot.)

I mentioned that I was not able to register using my Gmail account because of that, not because I was not able to download the file.

But due to the issues you experienced with "hypothetically" downloading the file, something important happened here. You failed the entrance test, horribly, and we all know now just what kind of an immature and incapable person you are.

Thanks again Maddy

<< Thanks again Maddy >>

I try to manage the forums in the little spare time I have. Due to this little spare time I tend to take an aggressive stance against spammers. If someone gets caught up in a IP ban and they notify me, I resolve it as quickly as possible (the new phpBB software makes dealing with spammers much easier where I can now be less aggressive).

As for the gamil ban, no idea how that happened. The only bans I've setup on emails are some domains from Russia and China that were being used by spammers.

could the armor count not being zero'ed out be related to me deleting some line in an xml file long ago?

It should have nothing to do with the XML as the counting is done all within the code.

ok then it is definitely hosed/by-passed if the player does not wait for the line from the bot telling which banesets are available.

the 'experienced' player sends the /t ...., buffarmor, and then when the window opens and s/he inserts the armor and then send a /rt blahblahbane. as they know what they want they don't wait the full 25 seconds (or what it is set to) for the bot to wait as the armor is inserted and when the timer is up tell the player a list of the available banes. they've been there done that and are in a 'rush'.
