Hello!
I haven't, lazy as I am, checked if this has been proposed a thousand times already. In that case, excuse me.
Currently I have been using XenoBot for a little over a month, and a private message proxy is the only thing I have been missing of lua functions.
This would enable the bot to communicate with other bot characters, if one for example are botting with shared experience and one wants to refill at the same time.
Other features could be a giving supplies to a mage or paladin, dividing rings, balancing potions, you name it.
I have made and I am now using a workaround with yelling. It is not very elegant.

All this being said, I do not know if this is tough to implement, but I must say with all the current proxies I was a little bit surprised this was not already a feature.
Is it because the possible multitude of channels complicates it?

Best regards,
Sufen.

This seem like a good idea as I'm also using 2 accounts in same area at times. Making them go back at the same time will save some extra money and possibly a death if the place is too hardcore for 1 character to handle alone.

It would also be good if you want to stop botting and go back to depot with them both, just pm the other character and both would run back at the same time.

Regarding your suggestion:
The private message proxy will come, no ETA though.

Regarding the communication thing:
You can also do that by creating .lua files via io.open() which are read by both clients.

Example:
Client A goes for refill and sets refill true within the .lua file.
Client B reads that file and sees that refill is set true and also goes for refill.

Hello, thanks for your answer. That's good to hear!

I have already experimented with your suggestion, and it works well enough.
However, my intentions are to communicate with other clients on other computers.
It would of course be possible to host a communcation file and read it with lua still, but you can surely understand that this is not very handy or portable!

Best regards,
Sufen.
