We’ve published an important software update today, involving both bot software, website and our APIs.
The most noticeable update is the new Inventory Browser in bot control panel. Now you can browse bot’s folders and perform basic operations with these items:
This is just a first step to fully-functional inventory manager: we will add animation support, delivery and other features soon.
SmartBots HTTP API has been extended by adding two new functions:
reply_dialog API call makes possible to send dialog replies to negative channels (say_chat_channel allows only zero and positive channels.
attachments API call can be used to get all attachments of your SL bot (including HUD attachments). The command supports several useful options to filter return values. The result of attachment call can be used by attachment_touch.
The next API update will contain two commands to wear and take off clothes, it is ready to get published, we are testing these calls now.
New HTTP API commands have been added: group_join and group_leave.
These commands are more than just expansion of existing SmartBots functionality. These functions allow creating fully-functional automatic services based on SmartBots bots.
There are currently several fully-functional in-world services in SL, and joining/leaving the group was the most troublesome aspect for these service owners. Now the whole process can be automated for third-party services.
We are proud to present the personal bot control panel.
This is a very convenient, understandable and easy to use tool that will help you effectively manage your bots. All the necessary tools you need are now located in one place, such as: Live chat, SBSL programming, editing your login/password/access code, enable or disable settings and using bot`s inventory as well as some added new options:
The control panel is very nice looking and has a different background depending on the gender of your bot. See the documentation for more info.
