script is normally based on mirc a bot is usually made in vb, c or c+ etc

My code does NOT have bugs. It just develops random features.

Plus a script (mIRC script) can be fully customised to your liking.

almost... :P

 

mIRC has it's limitations, but yes, it is very customisable.

Totally agree with you, David, but say for example you used Viper bot or Dominator or some other bot code in c+ or vb etc, you can't edit it or make it just the way you wanted. At least with mIRC you can make it 100% the way you like it. :P

yea i know, i was just playing semantics :P.

 

though... if you know what you're doing in terms of programming... you'd just make your own bot. in terms of performance and speed the bot would win hands down because it doesn't have an interpreter to handle scripts as mIRC does.

Hello all.

In the finest form aren't a script and a bot the same. They are in general created to assist in room management right? mIRC is a more custom way to go, and last I knew the Viper and Dom aren't functional anymore (I've been gone a couple years).

Yes Cyanide if you want to look at it that way yes they do both the same. Its just what the rest are staing that they are done in different ways for example take Viper bot you had to download a lot of the resources to function viper bot, as for a script its just one download and you just add the connection to the chat server you wish too choose, as for a bot it would have to be made for that specfic server. And to me its a lot more work! so in comparission the funtion of a script and bot is the same ..coding ..totally different!

it's just about the community terminology. Within our scripting community a bot and a script differ. I have seen scripts referred to by both names and in that a bot refers to the ability to perform automated ( or robotic like ) commands, you could generally refer to them as either. But as I said within our community if you say bot that tends to mean something other than the general scripting applications such as mirc, xchat, etc. Mainly because the bots really have not had the ability to "script" or add to code to them. They do not include a scripting engine as diverse as the before mentioned mirc, xchat, etc.

I had never looked at it that way errOr, you are right. Customization was why I started using mIRC. I found my old Viper on a disk last week Chain, and yeah there was too much to deal with LOL.
