See weekly screenshots of KaneBot!

| How lucky of you people to be able to see a screenshot of KaneBot since I've finished moving to Texas! It's been a number of months, but I'm still working on KaneBot. Keep your browsers pointed to this site and you'll get a newer version soon enough! |
|
| This screenshot is the first screenshot since March; since March, REALbasic had been making fun of me by being a turd. Anyways, not much has changed, though you can see the tempfix field. This field will be non-existant in the next version, because the next version has much much better support for users and commands (but not yet the "real" commands). :) |

Both of these screenshots are from the first release of KaneBot Generation 3. Also, they're both from (different) users of KaneBot. The first screenshot shows KaneBot on Mac OS X. Beautiful, isn't it? Okay, there's definitely still some interface work to do for Mac OS X, but if you go past that, it's really quite nice how some of those interface effects are done. In the second screenshot, it shows KaneBot working nicely in someone's clan channel. Although this release is far from ops-worthy, it's still a nice bot to chat with. |
|
| This screenshot shows I've just added basic WarCraft 3 login support. I've also added friends list displaying (does not save the friends list), but have not yet added friends list update packets (such as, friend joined a game, friend added, friend removed, etc). Also, it shows my gateway aquire feature, which will be used to append the gateway name to the user for commands. That's useful in case you have two different users on the same name but different gateway. For example, user@Azeroth and user@USEast. |
|
| Someone reminded me that I haven't taken a screenshot in a while, so here's today's... This one shows Text-Bot doing /f m while playing Diablo 2 (yes that's French), as well as someone else enquiring about some BNLS problems for them. Most of the changes in this version are regarding the underpinnings of the bot, such as this is the first version that actually sends a Battle.net event as an object instead of as raw data. This allows for much better command support. Also, BotNet support has been upgraded from version 2 to version 4, as well as BotNet has started to be moved to where it's more of a background thing, putting both BotNet and Battle.net messages in a single field. |
|
| Here, I'm moving some useful of my BotNet code out of the interface, and into the BotNet socket. That allows me to create another BotNet program without needing to rewrite that code again for a new interface. |
|
| This screenshot shows me working on a tool, BNLS Tester, which tests the integrity of a given BNLS server. |
|
|
These three screenshots show some server instabilities, regarding the channel.
Shortly after the screenshots were taken, the server was taken down,
most likely for maintenance. As you can see, someone KaneBot received a JOIN message, but when I did a /whois on them, the server said they were somewhere else. Additionally, you could also see people join, leave, and talk in The Void. That was an interesting happening... |
|
|
I'm working on the basics of KaneBot's command structure in this screenshot. The commands are still far from finished. |
|
|
This screenshot shows me working on the profile window. In the background, you can see a test version of KaneBot (no, you can NOT get one!) The REALbasic code windows you see are the BnetPrefs code window (front, BnetPrefs holds most of the user's preferences), and the BnetInterface code window (back, the BnetInterface window is the main interface for KaneBot.). |
