I'm looking to set up a bot in my store that I can use to model my avatars for people who want to see what they look like before they buy them.

Ideally the way I'd like it to work is:

1) Log in, wear a default avatar and idle
2) When someone says in chat vicinity something to the effect of "Modelbot [Avatar name]" it would put that avatar on for an amount of time, then remove it and replace it with the default until asked for another one.

I have a dedicated server myself so ideally I would just like to purchase the code so I can compile the executable myself or something to that effect. I'm PATHETIC at programming though so anything that's going to require a lot of coding will make me sad pants. And make me ask Adam to fix it. Neither of us want that.

I saw some of the hosted bots, but they don't look like they'd be good at switching content out the way I want.

I need to be able to add product names to be modeled as I release new stuff, obviously, so there would have to be a way to do this easily. Perhaps it would read from a config file? I don't know.

Anyone know any place I can get something like this? And barring that, anyone competent enough at programming to do this for me for hire?

I asked him how much work it would be and his eyes started to glaze over in the sign that means "Dear god please don't ask me."

JVA Bot is a good deal. Group invitations, modeling, etc. Xstreet SL Marketplace - JVA Multi Purpose Bot (boxed) - Automate Group Invites and Ban Spammers!

The answer is more suction.

That doesn't do what I need, unfortunately. It looks like it only changes outfits randomly every few minutes. I want something that does it on command.

I don't need any of the group stuff at all. I'm thinking that this will likely be more of a custom job.

Cristalle

It can change on command. You can run the bot manually and change on command if you want, or automate the process, or write a script that will make the bot change on command.

I'd suggest checking out Pikkubot. You'll have to manage a little scripting for it to listen for commands and wear given outfits, but the commands for that are all directly supported. Better docs for it.

Cristalle

yes, but it's astronomically more expensive than JVA, which you can customize using good ol' LSL.

Joshua Nightshade

I can't customize using either, really.

My ability to script basically consists of a script that rotates a prim, and even that I needed help with.

Joshua Nightshade

All right, I guess I'm kindof amending my previous post. Is there anyone who would be interested in getting paid to make a bot that does what I want, the way I described? If so please post or message me how much you would want.

Cristalle

The JVA bot comes with a modeling base station that already has the modeling script. I don't think it would take Adam too much time to set it up for you.

Mabb Dilweg

Joshie, contact Jenne Dibou from JD's Mechanical Toy Factory. She has automatons in her store that model clothes and attachments on command (and provide wise-cracking commentary!) and she welcomes custom work. Her style is Steampunk/Art Nouveau generally, but for a custom she might consider doing something to suit your style.

ETA: here is the SLURL - the place is full of the most awesome clockworks stuffs and there is a clockwork mouse racing game and a shooting gallery

Josh,

If you need, I could take a look at the JVA scripts for you or whatever. If they're mod, and it's already setup to do outfits on command, I could fairly quickly tweak it to your purposes.

It would be much quicker for me to mod something than for me to start fresh.

Joshua Nightshade

Thanks One, let me message that guy and find out if it's just the program or comes with the code. I'll send you an IM.

Oneironaut Escher

If it's just a matter of a complex setup that's already scripted, I could look through that for you too if you're not wanting to bother. From reading, it sounds like it might just have a sorta pseudo scripting of its own. I could play with that. I'll await your ping.

Joshua Nightshade

I sent a message to the creators of both. I briefly perused their pages and it looks like you're just buying an executable, so I don't know if they include the code or not.

These libsl bots are all in C++ right?

The bot package comes with a number of things, including a model script API which allows you to change your bot's clothing on demand. It uses a key you specify, as well as your bot's UUID.

Anya Ristow

Is the API for LSL scripts or for Windows programs?

It's an LSL script. As far as I know, you run the bot off your desktop and it responds to items you place in the general vacinity in-world.
