Someone fix bot events.

[Gsterman]

Seriously, get it fixed so it isnt CRC'ed. I rely on that to make my server.

[shyGriff]

bot events II is being made.

have you ever looked at a (fairly) big addon like bot events? it takes a while to make.

[Gsterman]

it takes a while to make.

Exactly.
Lots of servers depend on Bot Events, so Badspot is kind of to blame here for CRC'ing. So is Amade for not fixing his crap.

[shyGriff]

badspot isn't to blame
if an add-on is severely broken/easily abusable it gets crc'd

not everyone wants to have everyone banned from using ANY events at all.
also not everyone has a computer compatible with RTB.

And not everyone hosts a server where you build.

[shyGriff]

well, what about the people who are hosting a freebuild?

[Gsterman]

well, what about the people who are hosting a freebuild?

Then they host it.
I have never ONCE seen someone abuse bot events.

just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. the world doesn't revolve around you

people have used bot events to abuse TONS of times, and it's what's used in the "fungusamongus" prank or whatever you want to call it

What about VCE?

With two lines of events, you can crash someone.

I never implied that the world revolved around me.

Ok, then don't let freebuilds host it. But some servers rely on it, whether it's abusable or not,it doesn't change the fact that some servers need to use it because not everyone can use Blender or Torque to make an entirely new vehical/npc.

well yeah i didn't think about VCE i guess
actually i'm surprised VCE isn't crc'd

Exactly
And if mods get banned because they are abusable, then events should be cut altogether.

[Mr.Noßody]

Last I checked, Bot events can’t crash you. Lag you yes, but anything can lag you if used in bulk.
Also, if hosts were irresponsible to have serious issues with Bot Events, they should not have had them on in the first place.

It boils down to hosting responsibility. I never had any issue with Bot events because I knew what to do when bots got out of hand.
There was a /clearbots command to stop any unwanted activity.
