Genbot Question

[Monkman]

Hello...

I didn't think this was appropriate under the Macro forum, but please move if appropriate.

If this is a flame-able question, I'll open the flame-protecting robe and let my ass get a little singed, but I can't find a reason for this.

Genbot is running on my shaman in that it loads with no error messages. It runs correctly on its own (i.e., canni when magic down), and commands work fine when I use /gb to send them (i.e., telnet into it and can do /gb buff commands), but I can't command the damn thing from my master character.

I start the macro with /macro genbot masterchar

From what I understand, I should be able, with the default configuration, to just send a tell from masterchar to my bot (botchar) along the lines of:

/tell botchar sit

and the bot should then sit. But it doesn't - it just shows up in the tell window. What throws me is if I've got an error in the ini file, it will send a tell to masterchar saying what the error is, but it won't listen to me otherwise.

Help, please!

Thanks...

Dont use tell "popup-windows", direct all tells to one window.

Thank you - makes perfect sense, now that I think about it. I'll PM the guy maintaning the current code that might be a good documentation point.

I'd also highly suggest using IRC to issue your commands. There's plenty of IRC hosts out there that will let you set up an irc channel of your own for free, and it keeps your bot tells out of EQ.
