op discovers p99

A thread that should have been a /petition that turned into a DSM soap box. P99 forums in a nutshell.

Quit pretending to be non English speaking as first language. You fuck up your sentence structure too often to lend credence to this charade.

Not to be that guy, but even if you record them, the timing doesn't need to be exact. Scripting is really only gonna fail if a GM gets in there to do the bot checks etc. Y'all can record and petition, but I have doubts you'd see a script that runs on specific timers without rand() timers added. Even a bunch of spells could be out of order if they were simply nukes (like you can easily do with summoner, on say a druid)

Root
wait rand(100)
IF stillRooted(){
do random(Nuke A, Nuke B, Nuke C)
wait rand(100)
}else Root

From here it's just reading logs for things like "root wore off". Botters suck and unless a GM comes in to check for a human, it's not hard to change up the methods. Even your pathing to the target spot could be set to one of a few paths used at random.

Anywho, Botters deserve to burn, but everyone saying to use OBS/Fraps is assuming this is the most basic of bots. With AI out in the wild now, I would assume much more complexity.

People are saying use OBS/Fraps 1. Because that will help get the staff focused on this person and check them in game and 2. Because they are posting an accusation about this without providing anything that can be reviewed as possible proof.

Hope that helps.

I don't think the staff are going to look into behavior that, if scripted well, looks like normal player behavior. If you add in random pathing and randomized timers etc, you should look like everyone else. The moment someone gives an example of how you would look like a bot, I can almost guarantee there is a solution that can be scripted.

The only thing I can really think of is a box check by a GM, but I don't think a video of someone just running a camp will trigger that. Maybe it will, I'm no GM. I just think that with AI being out in the wild, making a bot to do almost any task with randomness added in would be trivial to execute.
