Hello. In short in config.txt file you write info about your Database configuration

Copy this file to functions and create_bots.

If your server is new, execute file new_server.php, the bots will be "clean accounts". If your server works, then run exists_server.php. It create a bot account that have some building (based on your players position).

If you run multiple times, you create multiple bot accounts

Then execute all files from functions for every X time (cron?). Then the bots will uses functions (colonization, attack idlers etc).

@AppDec

In external you have two directories

• create_bots
• functions

Create bots add bot user. In config.txt set your MySQL database parameters and use one of these scripts (new_server.php add empty account, exists_server.php add bot with average buildings on planet)

copy this config.txt to functions. This is functions that bot can do.
Attack idlers - attack players that don't play
Attack Players - attack random player
Autobuilder, build something if possible
Autorefresher is needed every time you build something
Build ships - Build a ship if possible
Buy officer - Buy a officer by DM if possible
Colonize Planet - Colonize a planet if possible
Remove Messages - remove messages to bots, to save space in Database
Send Expedition - send expedition to get DM
Send Recyclers - send recycler to get some resources

You can use PHP to execute that - I recommend CLI and Cron

Thanks for your answer.
I already checked out how the bot work. But every time i try to let things work there is an error in line 4 in exists_server.php. Seems like the given database parameters like localhost, user, pw and db_name doesnt work.
I have to search for a solution, maybe i am just to stupid to use php, idk.

Maybe my php Version i not that comtabile with the code...here my server information. Maybe you have a quick solution or a headword for me to safe some time.

UPDATE:

I installed php8.1-mysqli. So the exists_server.php is thrown now a error at line 25

Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list, references column 'DB.uni1_statpoints.total_points' which is not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT in /var/www/html/steemnova/external/autobot/create_bots/exists_server.php:25

@AppDec Hmm, but does "new_server.php" works?

[AppDec]

@IntinteDAO
New_servers.php works, yes. Also the execute for the functions scripts works like a charm so thats not the problem.
If i can help you in any way just let me know. I will still test it and give feedback in this post.
