    AoC and Patch 1.05
    « on: June 23, 2009, 11:30:20 pm »
    It seems that with the new patch arriving imminently, Funcom has altered the way the client authenticates with the user to maintain the session.

    Instead of how it does things currently, it uses some sort of 4 byte ID for the session.

    This development will render all AoC bots offline after the next patch.

    I have no clue where to start to remedy this event, as I admit, I do not have the skill. Can we as a community try and solve this issue if at all possible?

    Funcom has absolutely no obligation to support bots.
    We're lucky they're allowed to begin with.

    That said, someone will eventually fix and update the bots. Patience is virtue.
    Unless FC intends to use this to get rid of bots, then there won't be an update and that's it.

    There is an official Post by some Game Director in the Age of Conan Forum that sounds good:

    Game Director Silirrion:

    While strictly speaking the chatbots are an external development having chatted to one of the bot developers, I believe there will be updates available sometime this evening or tomorrow that allows the chatbots to work with our new protocols. I'll have the community guys post a link as and when it appears.

    True, not saying that does not make it more acceptable in any way for a community driven game to not keep us updated on changes they do that affect their customers, that being official standard game mechanics or more advanced ones like this...

    Anyway good news from the game director I looks like, did he speak to any of you bebot guys?

    The AoC gameclient does not support private chatgroups, so all bots have to be guild based.

    maybe this could be fixed too ;)

    Well we can dream about it, maybe with 1.6 when they claim to look into guilds and social stuff that can extend to think a bit outside the box as well :)

    I wonder if this means that funcom will also finally be banning the cheaters too?  At least a sweet good thing can come out of the downside.  :)  WooT!

    Cheaters? ChatBot's? I dont see any link here. Anyhow....
    The Director said they will explain the BeBot Devs how to use the new chat protocol. And the Devs probably already know how to fix and are busy creating a new login library for the Bot's.

    Lets wait for an official post from the devs here for more info.

    Let's hope we can find a resolution to this issue, with or without Funcom's help.

    Has anyone looked into the Conan Chat sources yet?

    Off-topic: Now is your chance to level up your bots while they're offline, mine is a Necro at lvl 80 ;)

    Even if they  will modify the chat protocols to allow bots again, it will be probably up to bebot AoC community to adapt IT, I DOUBT ANY OF THE bebot DEV'S will do it, simply because as they stated in other threads the ppl who helped making  bebot possible for AoC are gone.

    I sincerely hope I'm wrong, if I'm not we got work to do. ::)
