New HTTP API commands: picks, name2key and key2name

Second Life name2key and key2name, also avatar picksWe’ve added three new HTTP API commands for developers:

  • avatar_picks – retrieve current picks of a specific avatar
  • name2key – famous Second Life name to UUID resolution routine
  • key2name – opposite routine, retrieve name by UUID

avatar_picks returns the parcel UUIDs and pick names. This allows easily checking if avatar currently holds a certain parcel in his picks.

name2key (and its twin, key2name) are essential routines to work with avatars, visitors, delivering messages and checking any in-world data.

You can find documentation on all new functions in SmartBots HTTP API documentation.

SSTI version 2.0 – the great update!

SSTI v2: Reminders, tenant change and more!The new version of SmartShare Tenant Inviter (SSTI) has been released – v2.00!

This version is a major update of the whole system (server + plugins + website), everyone is recommended to update. The improvements include:

  1. Box expiration reminders.
    Your bot will send IMs to tenants who are expiring or already expired!
  2. Various stability and performance improvements.
    New Hippo plugin works better, faster and more reliable.
  3. Box tenant change is now supported.
    You can easily replace (edit) the Hippo box tenant now using a native Hippo box menu.
  4. Website interface refined.
    We’ve made the web interface more informative (especially the history and search pages).
  5. Automatic box scripts update.
    Updating 500+ Hippo boxes to a new SSTI version is usually a problem… not with v2.00+!

PandoraBots AI autoresponder is back!

Pandorabots AI is back workingThe PandoraBots AI autoresponder is back working with SmartBots!

Pandorabots service has gone offline in February and was inaccessible for several weeks. After the service was reinstated it turned out that all AIML (AI language files) have been lost, including SmartBots configs.

Guys from Pandorabots were working to restore these configs, and finally they got restored SmartBots brains as well. Now AI autoresponder is working back again!

Using AI autoresponder with a rule-based Simple Autoresponder

SmartBots has its own simple autoresponder module which works based on simple rules (read the documentation). You can use any autoresponder you wish: Pandora, Simple or even both.

Note: if you are using a Simple Autoresponder now, please talk to the bot to ensure that you don’t get replies both from AI and Simple engines.
