Developer Maxi Posted June 30, 2013 Developer Share Posted June 30, 2013 Dear community, As time goes by it has been a while that we have shown you what's going on behind the scenes at OSBot. What is going on besides the updates you see on the forums and the bot client itself. The forums have been growing rapidly over the past few weeks and the community has become more complex to manage. However we hope that our decisions still benefit you all in the long run and to keep as many people as possible satisfied with what have to offer. Last week we switched to our new dedicated server which brought significant improvements on the speed of the website. We upgraded our CloudFlare plan to have faster throughput for CloudFlare, together improving the response time of the website. When switching over, we switched to a different web server again. This left us with some tiny bugs in the url rewriting for friendly urls (furls). This made IP.Content working incorrectly and has forced us to remove the link to the repository and the API temporarily. We have been looking in to this issue and identified the problem, we will be spending time on fixing this up as soon as possible. As mentioned earlier, OSBot is now soon to be an official part of a company set up by us. This will give us a lot of legal protection in the future and will hopefully will make it possible for OSBot to stay for the long run. However, with a company a lot of administrative work comes along. Therefore we saw the necessity to create some administrative tools to make the work with the SDN easier and most importantly automate payments to SDN premium script developers as much as possible. This has been taking up most of my time for the past week and is also the reason I haven't been that reachable on Skype compared to normal. I hope to finish up these tools as soon as possible. As for the bot, we've been doing preparations to load definitions from the cache to provide definitions for entities that have 'nulled' names and nulled definitions. For this we will also have to write a cache downloader that will make sure that the entire cache is available for the client before executing any script or logic. This feature will also lead to the next giant improvement mentioned multiple times: the webwalker. The cache reader and downloader both need some updates and tweaks, but once these are done we can implement the dumping of the encryption keys needed to decrypt the landscape files, which we then can use to populate the data set for the webwalker. We will be spending time on this in the coming week. All these updates are more or less happening without you seeing any results, yet. However, the administrative tools might cost us some time now to develop, it will make our lives and eventually yours as user of OSBot easier. Adding, removing and updating of the SDN will become easier, so expanding the script base will go faster. Processing payouts to developers will become easier as well. And once we have the webwalker ready for use, OSBot will become the place where you want to be as a developer AND as a user. I can't wait for the first farming scripts or the first slayer scripts that make use of the webwalker. Stay tuned for amazing things to happen over the summer! Sincerely, Maxi and the OSBot team. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
