The new Zed-Pack has been released. This release includes many small changes to various scripts in the pack and the addition of 1 new script - Z-Panel - A window of game information updated on the fly.
It also includes the new Z-Bot. This version of Z-Bot has seen many fixes, changes and additions.

The installation procedure has been streamlined to make it much easier to get up and running.
I have also added more help options to hopefully help getting used to Z-Bot a little easier.

The Z-Bot is not just a bot for corpies.
It is a control centre for ALL your Tradewars operations.
You can turn remote-access off completely (no botting), and use it simply as an interface for interacting with the game.

See below for a list of changes.
The bot is too big to be uploaded here so the Zed-Pack.zip file can be found at Archys Portal.

Please help out with some feedback. I am interested in making the Z-Bot better. Your bug reports, and insights, are invaluable.

Might as well you Z-bot cause ya can't have K-bot!

Love all your hard work Archie. I've been using z-bot for a couple weeks, and I don't want to go back to Mombot.

If the website is down (as it is at the minute) the latest Zed-Pack can be found in the file downloads of the Tradewars channel of my TeamSpeak Server. (220.244.125.70).
I also keep the very latest updates on the individual scripts available in that channel as well.


EDIT: The website is up again.

Blaspheme I tell you.

When is the next release of Mombot?

I don't have an official release. I have been tweaking things here and there as I go and as people come to me with issues. I had a team to re-tool the whole script but life got in the way of that one.

I have had a report of possible malware on my website. Please let me know if you have similar reports. I have had no other alarm bells go off as yet.

The ZedPack is always available on my teamspeak server in the tradewars channel if there is any problem with the website.

I received some kind of message from my browser when I downloaded zed-pack from ArchysPortal a couple days ago. It said something like the file was not downloaded very often and could be malware. I assumed it was my browser or O/S being overly cautious.

Absolutely! the Zip file only contains .CTS .WAV and .TXT files.
I am confident nothing can get in there, since I do run anti-virus and anti malware on my machines.. I keep the ZedPack and the new .cts files of upgraded scripts on my TS server for download as well.. they come directly off my server machine. I am not aware of ANYBODY having ANY problems at all with ANY of my scripts... apart from me breaking them occasionally.

The new Zedpack is not far off.. final testing and bug fixing is underway..
