Hi, I do live on my parcel in Bellisseria since mid of April. I don't wanna change my place atm, even if it is not my "dream place" but I want to wait a few months until the great rumors are gone and maybe we can change parcels without constantly clicking on "refresh". Two months ago I did recognice a strange traffic in my kitchen. It was one same avatar popping up in the kitchen every day. Had a strange name and a blank profile, 3 months old, did not say "Hello" or anything to me, just popping up in my kitchen everyday, staying there for less then a minute, then teleporting away. Because I'm a very easily scared person and every time this avatar was popping up beside me I nearly got heart attack, I did ban that avatar. But that did not help me. Next day, another avi, same age, same blank profile, another weird name, was popping up in exactly the same place in my kitchen. And then another avi, all the same features and age in their profile. All there for less than a minute, then porting away. I banned them too. It did not end. It seems that the person who is running their bots or land-bots has got a loooooot of those accounts, because everytime I banned, even more new of those accounts popped up. I placed a visitor counter in the kitchen to get their names to put them on the banlist. At the end I was that stressed, that I blocked the teleports to my parcel, so now they are landing BESIDE my home. But the bad thing is: Me and my friends/alts also do land beside my home. I don't want that. At the end this parcel is useless for me and all the others who eventually will claim that place after me, because of this stupid bot traffic on that place. I hope to get rid of that parcel in future, just wanted to inform, what is going on and... Still I asking myself what sense does make a land bot on linden home places? What are they searching for? Excuse my bad english please! Best regards Uni

First off I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong place, feel free to move it if I have. One of my groups owns a few parcels of Mainland land and over the past couple of days just one of those parcels has been invaded by at least 18 avatars. We can't figure out what the sudden interest could be that is attracting so many avatars in such a short space of time to it. It's just a plain old residential parcel, nothing special, yet these avatars just can't seem to stay away. Has anyone else experienced an invasion of possible bots to their mainland parcels of late? According to my friend who owns the group the land belongs to, after one of these 18 avatars left another one would come out mere seconds later and that's why I'm calling it an invasion. I know you get the odd bot here and there, as well as the odd lost avatar, but 18 almost all at once? Ugh!

Who else feels that afk sex places are just bots and hurting this game? I would love to hear your comments.

I have had this happen a few times and was curious to see if anyone else has had this type of activity on the MP as well. Someone gets a demo from my store, then every 3 minutes, they get another and another and another. this goes on for up to an hour and sometimes more. All demos and all 3 minutes apart with single items. I can only assume its a bot but not sure why anyone would do that esp since it seems most items are random. Like getting both male and female, or grabbing old stuff that rarely sells with new stuff, nothing coordinated etc.

Hi everyone! I hope you all have a great day! As the title, I'm looking for some good and cheap bots. The perfect one would be a Bot that can send messages to the residents, interact with them to answer questions / doing "tours" talking about the land when they answer on the IM things like "Yes/No" to them. It would be nice to dress them up as well, but this is not a need (they just need to look cute in a basic way! Lol). Thanks for your time! <3

I have gotten back into Second Life after nearly a ten year absence. I am interested in doing Machinima of my music I have recorded and would like to have a number of Non Player Characters that I control with animations like dancing in the videos. I am left somewhat confused about how to go about this after having read some things on the internet about SL:bots, Scripted Agents, etc. Is there a good resource describing in detail how to do this? I need to understand the steps to be able to do this. Something like this: Create an Account Mark the Account as Scripted Agent Start a Client to Control the Scripted Agent Animate the Characters I have logged in with two clients controlling two characters before but that seems like a lot of wasted PC resources since I am only playing my main character. The main questions I have are: Can I run a scripted agent avatar without having a running SL Viewer on my desktop for each NPC I set up? Is there a lightweight client that could launch them instead of the Viewer Do I need to run a client at all? I have read about smartbots and the services, but, since I am just using these NPCs for shooting the videos and not as chat bots or greeters it seems an overkill Also I have a pretty powerful PC and a lot of bandwidth so paying for this type of service seems like just spending money Is there any software I can buy or get for free that will do what I want to do? Thanks for reading this.

Does anyone know anyone who can make good avatar bots? I want to use avatar bots (that look like human avatars, but can be centrally rather than individually controlled) to do data visualisations. I'm hoping to find someone who can help with both the avatar and the scripting side of that. Any leads to people with those skills who might be interested would be appreciated.

Hello, I'm looking for someone who might be able to help with a project using avatars for data visualization. The idea is to be able to get avatars to move to a location based on the output of statistical analysis. I would appreciate leads to anyone who has those skills and might be interested. Thanks!
