Bot problems resolved, subscriptions extended

Some of our bots had serious problems today: 3 servers crashed after installing recent OS updates. Our tech guys together with provider’s support were trying to fix the problem all the day.

The affected bots has been moved to a temporary server, and this was a reason why your bot was logging in and out. The servers are now up and operational, and your bots are residing back in their high-performance working sockets.

We are really sorry for inconvenience! All bots will get 48 hours of additional subscription to compensate the outage.  Hope this will help a bit, thank  you for understanding!

P.S. If your bot still acting in strange way, please open support ticket or IM Glaznah Gassner directly. We are fixing such issues immediately.

AdminBot library updated to v1.7

SmartBots AdminBot library has been updated to version 1.7.

The new command has been added: SB_SETUP_SETOPTIONS. This command allows to set various options for AdminBot.

The first option implemented is  NO_OWNERCHANGE_RESET, it causes AdminBot to ignore the object’s owner change (the library resets itself on owner change by default). This option is useful if your device is pre-configured to use the same Second Life group for all owners.

We’ve also created the AdminBot Changelog page, click here for detailed info.
