Talk:MERVBot Tutorial
D1s: Anybody wanna format this int a table of contents? I'm lazy
Smong: That is sick. Maybe split into more pages? Says it is over 160k.
Pests: There is already pages defined. You could just split them up into that.
OK, I'm working on converting it to real HTML (using <pre>) instead of the crap. --Cyan~Fire
CypherJF: Should we just call this "the bot tutorial" based on the tutorial by Underlord? Then update it accordingly? -- And also, the link to MervBot w/e 37 is now 45; should we just comment that this tutorial was writen for the 37 -- or... comments! lol.
sscanf
Well, I'm using sscanf() for parsing player input. Yes, an advanced function, but maybe it will discourage C++ newbs from making bot plugins. Any comments? --Cyan~Fire
D1st0rt: Cool beans. I learned something new :D
Event list
Removed event list because it was redundant with dllcore.h, less descriptive, and too easy to get out-of-date. Anybody who wants it back, please post here so I can ignore you. :-D --Cyan~Fire
CypherJF: Like people are really going to read through the dllcore.h file.. on a webpage tutorial. hmm i think not. I still say keep it there.
If someone doesn't make the effort to look up events in dllcore.h, they shouldn't be making plugins. I think of this tutorial as more of a "here are the basics and intricacies of making a MERVBot plugin" more than "here is how to follow step-by-step instructions and call it programming". --Cyan~Fire
D1s: Even I look up things in dllcore.h, its a very useful resource. As long as it says to look in it, I don't think we'd need the full list here
Extra Code Samples
CypherJF: I'd like to somehow split these up better; and make them linkable, what do you guy's think?
CypherJF: I made sub-headers, and so they'll be added into the table of contents. Let me know what you guys think of it.
Alrighty, looks good. One thing I would ask is to try to save up a bunch of edits in a text editor or something, than have the myriad edits you do now. Thanks for sharing the burden with me! --Cyan~Fire
CypherJF: Well I've been doing the edits from all around campus. Like yesterday I did 4-6 things from the MathLab; and the rest from the dorm, etc. lol. I don't think it really matters, since there isn't much other activity going on.. on the wiki.
Oh, OK, that's fine. Also, do remember that the wiki will automatically do your <p>ing for you as long as you leave a blank line in-between "paragraphs". --Cyan~Fire
