Logging in a Bot

[Lilac]

For those curious, chatbotScript does not pick up event messages by default. I ended up modifying ChatManager.java to call a special event handler function in my chatbotScript every time it handles processEvent. My function then checks if it's a kmail or whatever and does stuff appropriately.

Thanks, though!

I'm not surprised it doesn't pick up on them. My question is should it? If so, how should it?

I think it'd be nice to see them register as messages with an empty-string sender (since that's guaranteed never to be a player's name). Also makes for fairly trivial "ignore event" handling. I would suggest leaving all "type of event" parsing to the scripter, for simplicity. (NB: My $0.02 only)

I have no idea how it should be represented, but I would absolutely love if this could be done. I've always wanted my bot to act upon receiving a kmail, but I didn't want to go through the trouble of loading messages.php every minute or whatever.
