LabRat Report post Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Do you own a bot? Does that bot have a web frontend? If so, you may be interested in my latest project. I own the domain http://www.elbots.co.uk and intend to use it as a central point for all things bot related in EL - bot sources, bot information etc and will happily host your bot sources so anyone asking "where do I find bot code?" will easily be able to find them. For the current bot owners I offer a redirection service that allows all the bots in EL to have a common domain name, thus making one less thing for the end users to have to remember. The subdomains work in the following manner: For FRAMES enabled browsers the page loads your existing site inside a single frame with the browser still displaying http://botname.elbots.co.uk For non-FRAMES enabled browsers the page will just do a simple redirect using a number of means (javascript/headers etc). Unfortunately this means that the browser bar will show your existing web address. I do not wish to make any charge for this service, it is just a service to the community. If you are interested in signing up, just gossip me (gossip emails me) with your botname and the frontend web address. Your existing web address will not be affected in the slightest by any of this. My server will not see any of the information displayed, the browser will be doing all of the work. If your site requires passwords, uses cookies or authenticated sessions etc they will be unaffected as the browser will still be communicating directly with the existing site. --------------------------------------- The next part of this project is to be able to automatically email the bot owner if the bot is not ingame for more than a set period (for example 10 minutes) After that, who knows? --------------------------------------- Bots currently using this system: annihilator agneum bazzy calliope crysar merchant_of_zad mufo passion pepa portia raf titanta bronco tired_iron ------------------------ cupido http://treasurer.elbots.co.uk http://tinkerbelle.elbots.co.uk http://shedevil.elbots.co.uk Edited July 10, 2008 by LabRat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxbot Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Can you set annihilator.elbots.co.uk to point to the server you host my bot on too? Just to get in on the action Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghrae Report post Posted May 27, 2008 Perhaps you can list all the bots that are ACTIVE and taking part of your service in the first post. To not only let some know that it is already in place... but also to let others know how many have already participated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaxbot Report post Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) My bot frontend asks for authorization, then sends me a 404. [edit: when using annihilator.elbots.co.uk] Using annihilator.labby.co.uk still works though. Any ideas? Edited May 28, 2008 by Jaxbot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabRat Report post Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) Yes. It points to your admin interface, your bot does not have a public accessible page. Link amended slightly Edited May 28, 2008 by LabRat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
