Bots... XenoBot? iBot?

I mainly use it because it is much easier to create my own scripts and edit as i go, instead of having a few notepads open to edit a mistake you can easily fix it on ibot.

basically all that spectrus said

@Gonza Mainly the ones you said and there is blackd bot that is still being updated and free but not sure if its anygood

edit: sorry accidental double post

@Gonza

there were many ye, the one u remember is probably KeraBot. The most fail bot ever

HAIL DARKSTAR.

The 'run away' target in Xeno is much better than Ibot.
XenoBOT lack some functions, and like pp said is harder than Ibot to create a script.
Ibot have special areas working, things like 'setsettings' which you can change everything without load other script and have multiple spells.
Xeno need a post with all functions and how that works.

Ps: I know some functions and others can be made by .lua.

I'd say Xeno is really good when it comes to botting knights. Never tried Ibot, probably never will.


XENOBOT ALL THE WAY SON

I thought the same thing. It is really true, if you have a look at IBot, it seems to be easier to use and has some nice built-in functions, functions that we have to use scripts to achiv on xeno. I think xeno is more complicated to use and make scripts BUT i trust in DarkStark's work. DarkStar is always close to the comunitty and doing releases very often. He even explain some codes and show "why" in some casts. I see a lot of people complaining in IBot forums and not a single anwser from the owner. Maybe its just a matter of time till xeno be the best bot ever.

ResetBP(all)
Minimize(all)

When there is less scripting involved there will be more script makers and more (good) free scripts.

Self.CloseContainers()
Client.HideEquipment()
Client.ShowEquipment()
Container.GetByName("red backpack"):Minimize()


We have all of these simple things. The "good" Scripters just don't know how to update their scripts and adapt to the system.

I'm replying to you, but this reply is a bulk response to everyone talking about how much easier iBot is than Xeno.

The reason scripts are used for some features is because scripts are more customizable and extensible. You only have to write a script once, it's not like you have to configure it every time you use it.

Also, scripting for Xeno is very simple. Most people take the hard way. I can make, very elegantly, in a few lines of code, what most people do in 20, and that's because they do not realize most of the things they are doing can be done much easier. This is in part to people ignoring my recommendations on following proper standards. This is also in part due to Forgee and Sirmate libraries. The number one issue we've seen is errors relating to these two libraries. These are all user-made-issues. They are not problems with the bot. Most scripts I've seen that require you to use Forgee.lua don't even call a single function from Forgee.lua - they make you include it just because they are to retarded to realize they are retarded (and then they charge you money for these shitty scripts! The fuck?).

If you have an exori script u'll have to change the creatures if you change the spawn. Hunting more than 1 respaw then a new file is necessary.

It shows how hard it is. We're not "good" scripters, that's why many pp said Ibot is easier.

Not really. You just make a better initial script. I have an exori/e-gran script that works at 10 different places.

Most script aren't hard to make is my point.

They are both easy to script. If people says it hard its because they dont know how to script and only manage to script by borrowing/editing other peoples code. In xeno its a tad harder to borrow code so they think its harder to script. My only problem with xeno is separate lua files which isnt a problem only an annoyance. Im hoping we get bult in scripts. one-liners are fine but they still dont work for scripts like attack area and soft boots changer. Once special areas are fixed I see xenobot as working well on knights and paladins. Im still not 100% happy using a mage with it. Maybe once I make a nice multi spell attack script ill change my mind.

Then your doing something wrong.

offtopic
User made libraries are great but people need to learn how to use them correctly.
