Background Information
Due to the previous incarnation of ItemsBot being plagued by technical difficulties and unstabilities, Vhab (previous maintainer) asked if Itemsbot would be a good test case for pushing Bot# development forward. We both agreed that would be the case. Two days later, the first implementation was ready. ItemsBot is now online 24/7.
About Itemsbot
Itemsbot has been around for a long time and have been maintained by several people over the years. As the newest ItemsBot maintainer, I hope to keep up with the fine tradition set down by my predecessors, and to make sure ItemsBots legacy lives on.
If you want item information, ItemsBot is happy to help! Just /tell ItemsBot {query}. (For RK1, RK2 and TestLive)
Examples:
- /tell ItemsBot pen ofab crat
- /tell ItemsBot 100 pen ofab crat
- /tell ItemsBot 300 combined type=armor slot=head,arm
- /tell ItemsBot 125 kyr pistol -energy -machine
Itemsbot on RK1/RK2 display search results for items available on the live dimensions.
Itemsbot on TestLive display search results for items available on TesLlive.
Itemsbot is also used by Helpbot for serving !items requests.
Central Items Database
The VhaNet CIDB have been outdated for ages, and Xyphos' CIDB have had some technical difficulties.
This meant neither could be used by ItemsBot, and I had to make a new, working CIDB, named Bot# CIDB.
The VhaNet CIDB and the Xyphos CIDB now redirect to the Bot# CIDB. This means BeBot and VhaBot (possibly others too) now use the new CIDB, without any change being required in the bots themselves
