This is asked a lot i'm sure.

What exactly do I need to make a bot? Bot core and C++?

How long would it take to learn to make a simple bot and how(are there any tutorials)? I don't know any C++.

I really need them for my events to make them more flexible(like opening doors and such), since we have no bot makers in SWR.

To make your own plugins for mervbot, you need a C++ compiler, preferably Microsoft Visual Studios C++. Then go here: http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic=48

You do need to learn C++, which requires a Compiler; most often used: MS Visual C++ 6.0...

There is a mervbot tutorial on how to create plugins on http://www.subspacenetwork.com; but it's not written for new C++ users...

http://www.cplusplus.com i guess has enough info to teach ya the basics that could get ya going w/ a plugin...

hope this helps ya out

I taught myslef C++ soley through (and for) merv plugins. I think they are a great learning tool, catids String class simplies the more complex way that C++ deals with strings.

Indeed; the only reason I learned C++ was because it's part of my major.. however, Ive learned several other languages just by studying examples
