Observer/Screenshot Bot

[Nightmare OG]

Is it possible to have a bot that obs random people in game and periodically takes SS's and posts them in discord? that would be tight lol

afk player custom scripted to randomly observe and take screenshots, yes. Definitely doable.

Uploading said screenshots to discord automatically? Doubt it.

You'd be better off setting up a twitch streamer account to randomly observe players. Might even elicit donations.

Then lets make it happen!

why couldant it just take pics and put them in a filehoster online and upload the link to us to view teh folder

Why can't you just lick your elbow?

Even if you could, the only logical outcome would be that you would find yourself delicious and commit suicide by self cannibalism.

It is possible to host a website off your local hard drive.
It is even possible to use your screenshots (useless) or recordings (useful) folder as the root directory of your self hosted website.
It is also possible to register a domain for your website and use software to periodically update your domain with your current IP address if you have a dynamic IP address.
It is possible to script a client that automatically switches to observer mode and randomly, periodically, or even strategically cycles observer subjects while taking screenshots (useless) or recording demos (useful).
It would then be possible for anyone who knows the address of said website to download the screenshots (useless) or recordings (useful) at the leisure, but who the fuck would do that?

Not me.

My internet is not reliable enough to host a website from my computer, but I could make a tribes script that cycles observer clients and takes screenshots.

damn i would do it if i had a second (home) fan to keep my cpu cool. Cool man

[perrinoia]

That's an odd limitation.

This would be nice to have. There were some pretty good server bots on annihilation servers at one point and they typically created less drama than the real admins.

Tribes rpg and reality bites mods also had complicated bots that could do a lot more than we have ever had in a bot in annihilation. They serve mainly as proof of concepts now because their code was always hoarded by the creators who eventually moved on without going open source.

The twitch account idea would be the easiest to actually do.
