Hi everyone!
Hope things are going well for everyone out there. I know it’s been a month since I last made a post, when Battle Arena 1.1 was released, but I wanted to say that I’ve been working on the bot. If you’ve been following the forum then you already know about most of what’s to come in 1.2, but if you haven’t well, let me just say that (as of the time of this post) it will include 19 added things, 4 changes/adjustments, and 6 bug fixes.
Some of the added things to look forward to are (but not limited to): a chance of critical hits, a shop level cap, a super boost that acts as a reset button, a steal skill, a skill that lets you activate items to summon an ally to fight in battle with you, new monsters, new bosses, new npcs, and new weapons.
I’m going to try my hardest to get this done by the end of August but I can’t make any promises. I’ll release it when I feel that all of this stuff has been tested. Hopefully I can avoid any huge bugs from popping up a few days after it’s released.
Until then…
7.6b has been released! As always, details of the patch are after the jump.
Hi everyone!
I’m writing this quick post to let people know that I’m not dead. Unfortunately, work on Kaiou has been put on the back burner but that’s because I’ve been working on a new mIRC game/bot. I call it Battle Arena
Those who visit the forums have probably already seen the post for this bot as I’ve been posting there nearly every day with development progress and examples of things. But if you haven’t, no worries. Allow me to quickly explain the concept.
The idea came to me when I had played a bit too much Devil May Cry. I thought “what if there was an mIRC game in which you could kill monsters and bosses and gain orbs and new weapons?” You know, like DMC. But IRC is pretty dead as of late (at least on Esper) so I didn’t want to make a full RPG as I had with #DBZRPG and Kaiou. I basically decided upon making a battle only bot. That is to say, there’s no real RPG elements in here; it’s simply log into the bot, join battles, kill stuff, get rewards, buy new skills/weapons/techniques/items and repeat. Hop out when you’ve had enough for a day.
So that’s what I’ve been building. The bot is completely automated in terms of the battle system. There doesn’t need to be a DM around to do !next and control monsters, like in Kaiou. Here players join the battle when the bot announces an open battle. After a few minutes, it will generate monsters/bosses and have them join the battle and the battle will start. When it’s a monster’s or boss’ turn, they will automatically do their things (better AI system than in Kaiou controls them). When it’s the player’s turn, there’s a few commands you can do (attack with a weapon, attack with a technique, do a skill, use an item). If the player idles for too long the bot will force their turn and skip over them. This is done so that someone can’t disappear for an hour and cause the battle to drag on forever (again, like in Kaiou).
There’s a bunch of weapons that can be bought and each weapon has a few techniques attached to them. Unlike in Kaiou, you can’t make your own techniques but rather have to buy them using red orbs that you earn from battle. You buy weapons using black orbs when you obtain via winning boss fights and being alive at the end of one.
That’s really the gist of what I’ve been working on thus far. I’m getting confident that the first version of this bot is ready for release, so I might release it by the end of July. In the mean time, I usually have it up in #BattleArena on Esper.net. Feel free to come on in, create a character and help me test this thing out.
Until next time!

Version 1.5.2 is now available for download!
As mentioned, I’ve added the auto perform stuff to this version. Since making that preview post, I’ve actually added a little more to it. The commands recognized are: JOIN, MSG, SAY, RAW and WAIT. Also, if you use MYBOTNAME (in all caps like that) it will replace it with the bot’s current nick on the server.
Other things added/updated/fixed in this version: The bot can now recognize multiple admins in the config file (just add more <admin> than one like you do with <user>), two new admin level commands (!msg and !raw), the filter was updated a little, and I fixed two bugs relating to RandomTalk.
Overall I’m pretty proud of this version. Hopefully Kon will continue to improve.
