haha Thanks fathernitwit. Appreciate the praise but my goal is to achieve controllable remote Box (PC) players. Which would be really fun because then I can play on ANYONE's server with my bots.
just log on two different characters and use tells to pass commands across.
This can be all done client-side through third-party software ONLY by using packet sniffing ... there is no other way to get the tells out of the EQ client besides altering the original source code for the server.
Unfortunately I am no pro net-worker and know relatively nothing about packet decoding to grab the Tells out of the EQ client. Once I can finally understand the EQ packets then I can write a piece of software to intercept them and translate them.
Thus, you now have a client-side command interface the rest is just simply a matter of writing a bot program to execute the commands and the remote PC where the character is logged-in.
Until I figure this out or until I can find someone interesting in teaming up that has the knowledge about packet decryption that I lack ... it is just a idea.
