A Bot!
 

Yes, a bot. It will have access to everything in the wiki as its tentacles of power, and it will have lots of solid data as its foundation.

The question is, what should it be made to do?

Bear in mind that bots do recursive and/or repetitive tasks; this makes them very good at pulling data off tables and updating tables, but they are very very awful at comprehension.

The following are what the bot will potentially do:

• Inject correct and up-to-date data into {{Monstats}} in the monster pages
• Inject correct and up-to-date data into equipment items
• Inject correct and up-to-date data into skill statistics
• Customizable recursive tasks in responding to user's inputs

The last one is probably of interest to most people. What would you want to bot to do if you could insert a snippet of code in an article to trigger some action taken by the bot?

Make it search for Sarah Connor.

I can't really think of anything that would be useful. Now, if it were able to pull info from shop data, that would be great. The only way I can think for that to work right now (aside from having an in-game bot run around town and check prices) would be on the honor system, having people enter what they're selling items for. Then the bot could average prices and help even-out the economy. That's probably a bit ambitious at this point, though.

Fix Triumph's spelling errors? :cheeky:

wut

wht is going on i dont get it, A bot In game or on forums?

It's a Wiki bot.

That'll be kind of cool. But yeah, gonna be so complex with the variety of statted armours and such. I don't get what you mean by help evening-out the economy, but that would probably be me not knowing how bots actually work and what they're capable of doing (since Icy said they're awful at comprehension).

I saw the bot sitting there when i was on the Wiki yesterday, make it gather info on dungeon mobs, We need it. :D :D <---

This needs to be done by selling price. It is only the transaction price that matters. Asking price/bids do not reflect what's really going on.

This is do-able, but it will not be part of the wiki.

Is the wiki asking anyone else to download something before they can edit a page? I posted up somewhere, But i think it's the bot's doing.

The bot makes edits just like a regular user. The only difference is it interacts with the wiki in a different way, because it's hosted on the same server as the wiki. It will certainly never push you files... Plus I've yet to write the script for it.

I am not able to replicate your problem.

Want a screenie, Or what?
Because it's starting to annoy me.

Update: Do you want to Save this file? Or search the program on the internet?

Name: Index.php
Type: Unknown File Type
From: www.FiestaFan.com

It could be a number of things, but my best guess is a homebrewed failure.
Keylogger/Trojan
or a setup for a useless XSS attack.

This only happens when the server fails to send the entire header first on load of the page. File extensions do not matter in URL. I think it's your browser misinterpreting the headers. Use another browser class.

I agree. A php file shouldn't trigger a download.

Then i dunno WHAT is going on, and computers are my main thing, It just now started, So i assumed that new bot was doing something, Now i begin to wonder if maybe a download was just released to view scripts like this?

In any case, I'll try it on a donkey comp.

Maybe it's friendly, Or maybe it's something wickedly nasty.

I was planning on making a fighters guide from the higher-then-noob levels, Too..... Guess i'll try it later.

Well, I tried on Internet Explorer AND Firefox
Same thing for both, Here's the one for Firefox

I'd change "Open With..." to Firefox and then "Do this automatically." Do other sites that use php open up like that?

No, Never, it just started today, Around about.... 1:00

Tried opening with Firefox, it opened a blank webpage and that's it, When i closed it and clicked edit again, The same prompt came up, I ended up saving it, And once again, nothing happened, It keeps prompting me.

Fixed it, had something to do with the way i had my Wiki account formatted, Though i wonder why it went through all that trouble?

In any case, It works now.
