Scripts...

[The Account]

I don't know if anybody else noticed this, but somebody is using scripted bots, multilogged.

Okay it's not in the game rules that you can't do this but dammit!
Using bots for lockerhunting (Burglar) and mining in public mines (Dig Man) ... and who knows what else for ... is just plain cheating.

mining in public mines (Dig Man)

thats not against rules because he can be easily killed and looted anyways

bots for lockerhunting (Burglar)

i dont think..

Seki.. it's not a simple auto-clicker.
A script.
Dig Man goes in the NCR quarry, mines at a patch of ore, rotates around some, moves on to the next one and when his at his weight limit, he leaves at the west exit grid.
If you follow him, he kicks you.

So you say that you don't think?
Well, I do and I observe things.

I've met Burglar many times and studied him.
He just drops into an encounter, goes for the locker (he doesn't care about traps: he just respawns and start over) and when he gets the stuff, he leaves at the north-west corner of the map.

yes i know how to made it but still can someone follow you when he will click follow at exact time
there already was bot doing this and he was raped

idk about burglar but in every mmorpg are bots and they will be always there.. thats neverending fight gms vs botters

[The Account]

Well, you can follow him, but this bot kicks you out.

And yeah, I know there will always be faggots who wants everything for nothing.

I'm just trying to help the **cough** GMs.

they dont care about it because only thing which can be botted is mining in public mines but those miners can be anyway easily killed and looted, its not even against rules, there is nothing about bots in rules and noone cares about resources since we have private mines + slaves digging

and btw. there will be wipe so noone cares about anything anymore 

to burglar.. it would be very hard to make bot reacting to other players, traps, encounters etc.. maybe its possible, idk.. if yes then it should be somehow stopped.. but its impossible for devs to win against botters in free game where players they can always create lvl 1 chars for botting.. and anyways what can bots do with those items botted ? play pvp ? in pvp its more about tactic, numbers and other things then about who have more caps or stimpaks in his tent.. maybe its not fair but not any big problem

Bots are illegal.
Bots can not kick you out of their party, nor can they choose to enter an enco (where the footlockers are).
That Burglar uses the exact same tactic, while weird and REALLY STUPID, isn't proof that he uses a bot.

I once came across a guy (or few guys) in the Junktown mine. They were clearly on some sort of automated route because they would all three move to the same places, over and over again. It was a repeating pattern. They wouldn't even always move to a spot to mine. I killed them repetitively but they kept coming back. I tried following, but also got kicked from party. The strangest thing about all of this is they also talked sometimes. I am certain it was one person. Not very intelligent either. But he/they would go about this for hours.

We should all start acting like amor, he sets the standards now.

1.) They can. If you write a script to check for followers when the character enters the worldmap.

2.) The bot just travels on the worldmap and just drops into an encounter and goes for the locker if there is one.

Vault Citizen, next time write down their names.
And yeah.
Noone gives a damn about anything anymore.
Let Operation: "Fuck decency, the rules, the players, fuck the game" commence!

As my mentor put it, you have GOT to be FUCKING shitting me......

I guess you and that mentor of yours are not really a programmer of any kind.

[Sperber]

Rumor has it that about half of the players that are online on FOnline servers are bots.

Well, true or not ... bots can techically do almost anything that doesn't require adaptability.

Making them able to kick followers from their party is actually pretty easy since it's just a simple if-then-else command.

I knew a guy in 2238 that leveled by botting fruit and giving it to the kid in the Hub for 5xp each (That's why it has a timeout now)
and during one of the GM auctions some people botted broc flowers.

A script for botting lockers seems complicated but certainly not impossible.

But the real question is: Who fucking cares? Cheaters have small penises.   :P
