Need information on running / using torchbot

Corgano opened this issue · 3 comments

I need information on how to run / use torchbot, are there any pre-written runnable examples?

Well, as for running it, its pretty straight forward you run the jar file by either console or double clicking it (if windows) and then you fill out the configuration file with your information. Unfortunately I have not yet had the time to write extensive documents on this, there is however a build server located at http://build.torchbot.net that has a fully compiled and ready to go version of the latest code on github. To find this code click on Torchbot on the main screen, select last stable build, then click on "Torchbot" under module build and finally under build artifacts click on "TorchBot-0.3.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar". The actual version (the 0.3.0 part) will obviously vary but these steps are always the same regardless. Hope I could be of assistance and make sure to check out our new website if you haven't already! http://torchbot.net

After some trial and error, I was able to use maven and some instructions I
found online (for another minecraft related project) on how to get the GIT
project set up in eclipse, and have since been able to run it. However, it
only seems to work with 1.8 servers. Is torchbot compatible with 1.7.10 /
later servers?

Also a question on the plugins, do you have any plugins you could provide
as examples? You talk about what to have in the plugins, but I'm still not
sure how they are to be formatted. an example plugin would be appreciated.

Hello! Great news that you were able to get it to work! As for if its compatible sadly the current version is not backwards compatible because I had to do a major rewrite on the main code. You can however download a previous version of the bot from github and compile that in the same way that you compiled the 1.8 version and that should work with all 1.7.x versions. Please note however that any new improvements or bug fixes will not be included in that download.

As for example plugins, I am currently editing one of the test plugins I have on my computer and will be uploading it shortly, hopefully that combined with the tutorial should help you understand what exactly is going on. I have noted that the bot needs more documentation and I will get on that as soon as I have time, at the moment however school and life are making it a tad bit difficult to get any work done haha, but I'l get around to it soon.
