Kenn Nilsson Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I have a need to manage members of a private group by automatically inviting new members after they perform an action AND automatically ejecting old members after a certain amount of time has passed.My initial thought has been to look into bot scripting and host a bot on one of my linux servers. I could then relay commands to the bot through objects that receive information from a website. Unfortunately, searching around the interwebs has led me to find only one "bot library", and that was in C# ... which I'm not keen to try to install on my server. I was hoping more for a Java or Python run bot.Because my searches have turned up nothing ... I figured I'd ask the community. I don't necessarily have to use a bot, but I don't see any other way of automatically managing a group roster. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qie Niangao Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yeah, I think you're stuck with some sort of bot, inasmuch as LSL has no interface to group functions such as invite and eject. If it were me, I think I'd just use one of the bot services that already provide this functionality, unless it were "mission-critical" or a core feature of some product I wanted to offer. They're not very expensive (like... under L$100/wk, if memory serves), so it's pretty difficult to justify much development time reinventing that wheel, if you can absorb the risk that they'll go dark without notice.

Kenn Nilsson Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks for the reply. I agree that the services are relatively cheap, it's more that I always enjoy the process of learning how to accomplish something new. I'm also concerned that existing bot services may not be able to eject users from a group ... they all mention group invite, none mention group ejection.

Darkie Minotaur Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Depending on what you're doing with the group membership, you could set up your own group system using an external database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shymus Roffo Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Here is a good website that might be able to help you make a bot software for your group. If you know how to use C# you should be in good standing. Open Metaverse Wiki 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
