I was wondering if there are any programs like this out there that let you "bot" you could say. Anyone who's played a text-based MUD knows what I mean here.
I've been looking for one for awhile just to see what they're like and some places probably will allow them to be used also. If anyone could tell me where I could find a program like this, it'd be appreciated. Thanks.

You'd probably have to make one to execute verbs for you and/or mimic packet sendings between the server and yourself. This cannot be done in the DM language, however. You'd have to make it in something with a bit more freedom to do whatever, like C++.

There were quite a few chatters bots written with Auto-It.

There are automation programs that will do this, or you can write your own using the Windows API if you know how. and/or mimic packet sendings between the server and yourself. This would be really, really, hard. =) Not only would you have to break the encryption on BYOND's networking protocol, but you'd have to reverse engineer it too. And believe me when I say it's pretty complicated. The exception is if you can capture sent packets and re-send them - people have been known to do this, usually while attempting to cheat. I haven't figured out how they do it exactly. This cannot be done in the DM language, however. You'd have to make it in something with a bit more freedom to do whatever, like C++.

Yes, AutoIt would be the best for making something easy and fast. I use it at work and it saves me a lot of time when running the same update on 30+ machines.

I remember afk training used to be a big thing of Pokemon RP. So when I made Reborn, I added a little feature that prevents all but the most experienced programmers from doing it - and haven't had a problem since :D

AFK training... Well, getting stats from the same action over and over again sounds a bit lame to begin with.

Welcome to the world of MMORPGs. :)
As long as progression is kept varied and entertaining fewer people will want to bot. A few will probably put more work into botting than actually playing their character, but you can't please them all. | |
Hmmm, I would suggest increasing your key repeat rate and getting a stapler ;)
But if you feel that you need to AFK train, it doesn't sound like a very fun game... | |
I just get something heavy enough to hold a key down, like a screwdriver, macro the training verb and put the screwdriver on the key that I used for the macro. No need to get a bot when you can use an ordinary household item. :D

I remember standing in one spot in chao dragoon warriors next to a bunch of monsters with a screwdriver on the key. Came back in a half n hour with level 500..... | |
