Well, Basically its a chat bot, like omni/neut/clanbot that stores what item a member wants to give away to the rest of the guild. It works thought private tells and if your running SqlDbase it on the web you can intergrate it into your "members only" section for your members to view the list of items while off line.
now Keep in mind that I'm making this for windows 9X meaning that any person can run this bot from a pc that can Play AO.
The bot is made up of(currently) 9 files, 1 Perl Script that handles the bots connecting to the chat server, 1 Php Script that handles updating the User Database/Access list, and 7 Ascii files that handles the preatty colors it uses.
you can run a bat file that first runs the update script then the botscript which 'eventually' loggs into the chat server, just takes a couple of mins. yes you do have to make a extra char, but you dont need to join them or even level them once. you also must maintain a connection to the internet for this bot to work unless your sitting in the server farm room with the AO servers,which i highly doubt.
Im releaseing this bot under GPL for anyone to do what ever you want with it, if you give me credit then that would be nice too.
