Hey, I thought about RuneMate client sided desktop chat alerter for us, the babysitter botters, what do u guys think?
Neat idea, I'd support it. It's also something that could just be implemented into individual bots as a feature, but it'd be cool to be a client wide feature too.
Exactly, ive coded my own macro to alert me when someone talks, but it actually eats the performance of the bot itself (as it's outside of the whole client), so I thought this simple idea would save me a lot of the trouble.
Huh, that's nifty. How's it work basically? You put the chat window to public and then you have some color bot type macro running detecting changes every X seconds or something?
People who like to afk babysit their bots and respond to people who say "r u a bot" and then report you. I personally have a similar notification feature on bots I've made for myself. Also it would just be pretty simple to add to the client by what I can tell. The API already has this functionality, it'd just be adding a listener to the client on a toggle.
U are right, that's why it would be toggle-able for those who don't need it I suppose. Babysitters usually only bot on 1 account at a time, so CPU usage wouldn't be that bad.
But this is a waste of development time the team could spend on trying to resolve the current issue with CPU usage.
Obviously issues are a top priority, I know this isn't hard to implement, but it's just a low priority suggestion, not an issue.
