New bot module: simple configurable autoresponder

Simple autoresponder for Second Life botsThe new bot module is available: Simple Autoresponder. This module adds the configurable autoresponder which reacts on IM messages.

The Autoresponder can be configured using rules: each rule determines the bot’s reply when specific text is being received. The example of the rule:

  1. If IM from a resident contains “Hello”
  2. then bot replies “Hi there! Welcome to our location!”
  3. and delivers “Our location in SL” landmark from the inventory

Yes, the inventory delivery is also available! You can choose items directly from the bot’s inventory using interactive inventory browser.

The module is already available for purchase in Bot Store for just L$199. The module documentation page is available here.

HTTP API and SBSL improvements

HTTP API and SBSL updatesWe’ve improved HTTP API of SmartBots and SBSL programmings language.

SmartBots HTTP API now supports custom http callbacks: bot does a direct HTTP call to your website script (written in PHP, ASP, Perl or anything else) to inform you about in-world events (chat messages, group invitations etc). See set_http_callback API command for more information.

Second improvement relates to SBSL and allows doing whole-word-only substring comparisons (for example, if you want to react on messages containing “ok”, but not “look”). See SBSL “if” command (“Whole word match only” section) for more details.
