Thanks. I'll try this out later and hope it works

its no problem. Happy to help

I found that the Bot toon that you roll must be a member of the org that it is serving. I recall some other bots also require the bot toon to be a specific level in the org or higher, so I made mine a General just in case.

If you are creating an org on Noob island, then there is no need to run the bot toon to the mainland. The main criteria is that the toon must be a member of the org. (tested having the bot toon on noob island, and it works)

Haven't played around with Raid Bot to know if that toon would need to be on the mainland or not.... maybe another time...

Anarchy also requires the character being used to be 'recognised', and sometimes it takes FC at least a day to do the update, so even if you've done everything right, the bot may not work till the character database updates...

Also, any questions you may have about budabot (including hideously complex technical ones) can be directed HERE

The rank of the bot toon needs to be high enough to receive Notum Wars (Squad Commander for the Department style ranks -- not sure of other types of organizations) notifications if you want it to track things like tower wars. Otherwise, no, it can be the lowest rank.

While this is some serious necroing, I think it might be worth mentioning that aside from budabot (which IMHO) is insanely difficult to set up with needing all sorts complicated things installed on your computer (like php5, mysql, etc...), Vhabot also works well enough (though no longer actively supported anymore) and only requires you to download the bot itself without any other stuff (unless you're trying to run it on Mac or Linux), and the up-and-coming BotSharp.

Anyhow, all of it can be found on http://aodevs.com

No, this is bad information. You are thinking of Bebot. Budabot is substantially easier to set up than both Vhabot and Bebot on both Linux and Windows platforms and is the only bot of the three still actively maintained.

Hmmm...

'that aside from budabot (which IMHO) is insanely difficult to set up with needing all sorts complicated things installed on your computer (like php5, mysql, etc...) '

For Windows users, Budabot comes as a complete package, unzip one file, and it is ready to run. All that is required are account details, and you are connected.

Either you are confusing the extra libraries that -may- need installing on a basic LINUX machine with the ease of a Windows install, or as Tyrence suggested, you are thinking of Bebot.

Because your statement in no way applies to Budabot, which I have been running on a 24/7/365 basis since early 2006.

Eli.

Sorry, Tyrence is right. I was thinking of bebot, which I was using before vhabot.
