I'm having an issue with z-bot where every 10 minutes or so it completely stops responding to input.

My connection to the server will be fine and I can continue playing the game normally or running other scripts, but z-bot will not respond to any of its hotkeys (,, } shift-k etc). The only solution I've found is to kill the script in TWX and restart it but that is frustrating to say the least.

Anyone else run into this bug? I can't see any pattern to it, doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing ingame.

I'm on Windows 8 and TWX 2.05.73.

Also the 'silent mode' option will not stay enabled. When I set it to ON it works until the next time I restart z-bot (crash or clean exit), at which point it always reverts to OFF.

Your best bet is to get a hold of Archie on his teamspeak server:

Teamspeak3: 60.242.57.40:9987

If he isn't around, talk to Vid or Traveler.

I will try that, thanks!

due to illness, I am unable to concentrate on programming the bot at the moment.
All I can do is suggest that you make sure you have the latest version of the z-bot.cts. This can be found in the downloads area of the Tradewars channel on my teamspeak server.
