Guard bot question

[Jaxbot]

Hey, quick question about guard bots:

 

Do they have automatic true sight (like how bots are immune to invasion monsters), or does the owner have to have it cast every 90 or seconds and supply ings?

 

Thanks,

Gaurd bots see invisable people

[Jaxbot]

Ok, thanks for the response.

But be aware, from my take on it from a chat in the long distant past, the bot informing you of an invisible character (eg via #gm or PM) would be classed as an illegal interaction between you and the bot.

 

I may be wrong but that definitely sticks in my head for some reason.

 

As to who it was I discussed it with erm pass. I have harvested silver since then.

So I have to disable the #GM message that informs me of a visitor/intruder if their invisible?

Where in the ADD_NEW_ENHANCED_ACTOR would it say if it's invisible or not (that is, if it does anywhere)?

player buffs, bit 0. TRUE is invisible.

 

From the client (actors.c:1127):

buffs=((*((char *)(in_data+3))>>3)&0x1F) | (((*((char*)(in_data+5))>>3)&0x1F)<<5);	// Strip the last 5 bits of the X and Y coords for the buffs

basically, when you get the new player info, the x and y words also hold the buffs in their high bits.

 

Simply put, check the high byte of X, bit 3 (if my maths are correct!) ( & 8 )

 

You also need to check when the server sends packet 78 (UPDATE_BUFFS)

Ok, but iirc the redknight2 software does still hail/#GM warnings about invisible people, is this rule recent?

[Entropy]

Hmm.. I think it's OK for the bots to give such a warning, but ONLY in the guild map.

[Jaxbot]

Ok, one more quick question:

 

Is it $100 the first year, and then $20 the next years? Or $100 every year? Or something completly different?

 

 

Thanks.

[LabRat]

again, from what I have done and seen recently:

 

First year $100

Every year after that $20 UNLESS you buy another bot blessing ($100) in which case the next yearly $20 is waived.

 

Or maybe that was just g0d being generous
