Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Topic: Tinkerbot question/request

	El, Have a question, and a request, I want to run 2 bots at our mansion, one a regular buffbot, the other a tinkerbot. I'ld like the buffbot to regularly buff the tinkerbot since all his xp has gone into trade/tink skills and only has item. I've tried to set them up in a fellow and use the BB feature but that doesn't seem to work, is there a way to do this currently or can you possible add it? Also when in tinkerbot mode he doesn't seem to be able to summon portals?...planned that way or just different. Ads for the tinkerbot are the defaults for buffbot...can they be modified? And last but not least....how about a way to drink beers on the tinkerbot on schedual, I know I'm asking a lot here but it would make for a nice feature and I'm sure lots of folks would like it. Hell I'ld love it as just a regular feature in Tank no matter what the mode. Thanks for the features you have in it so far...

	Those would be nice, since I do the same thing (run 2 bots, 1 buff and 1 buff/tinker). The one thing that I also notice, even though ElTank will use mana stones to keep items charged in "normal mode", it doesn't seem to do it in "bot mode", which is a real pain for my tinkerer. Having a special command to drink beers would be awesome. I personally wouldn't do it all the time, I'd "charge" for that command (maybe an M note each beer). -----signature----- (none)

	easiest way to do it would be to have an actool script run on the tinkerbot, that requested buffs from the buff bot after a set amount of time.... -----signature----- ImmortalBob, Axer Extraordinaire +Turbine Sappho tells you, "I am starting to think you are immortal"

	I've thought about the ACTool part too....but would rather it be an all in one thing, and since I'm using tank for the buffbot right now was hoping to get it through that.. I know about the tinkerbot script in ACTool too but again...was hoping to have both bots using the same software.

	I believe Immortalbob meant to use an AC Tool script only for requesting buffs from the other bot at a set interval. You'd still be using ElBuffbot with tinkering. This would be very easy to do, just use the script people are using to keep ElTank active and change the time interval and add in a /tell buffbot,3school; /t buffbot, tinkers; /t buffbot,buff. -----signature-----

	Oh I understood what he meant, but did get a PM about the tinkerbot script in ACTool also so addressed that. If it comes down to that I will just create a script, might as well add the beers in there too for that matter if I do. Just would rather have the function in Tank...

	Honestly with the features of the actool version, you would be better off spending the little bit of time setting that up. The ACTool version of the tinkerbot is a quantum leap over the eltank version. It can do everything that you posted you wanted to be able to do with your tinkerbot already. Perhaps I should nag ElGarL a bit more about improving his tinkerbot portion of eltank. -----signature----- Tinkering Calculator http://www.code-poets.org/tinkering.html Thurwyn's Skills: Armor 681, Weapon 681, Item 608, Magic Item 678 Add 250 points to each skill if a rare is used
