Description (Last modified by Maverick)

There are many TWBot modules that were converted more than a year ago to MultiBot modules.

MultiBot was meant to be a replacement for the kind of bot game modules that are "single-load" — stuff like gravbomber, prodem, etc. Games that essentially run themselves. TWBot was then to remain a more generic utility bot for games that need custom hosting elements.

While MultiBot was made to make life easy, I know that it's not uncommon for a host to have to use both a Multi and a TWBot to host an event sometimes. Or, to make life easier they may just end up using only TWBot, because TWBot still has all of the old modules.

However, TWBot modules are not being kept recent, and all new changes are being made to Multi. Some people might not know this. For all intents and purposes we have two forks running for the games that are now generally hosted on Multi.

I suggest we remove all TWBot modules that are hosted on Multi to avoid the confusion and officially establish the difference between the two.

Definitely open for discussion. (Is a forum a better place to talk about this? I have no access)

The MultiBot merge is complete; TWBot will be removed in its entirety once everything tests clean.

What's the status on this?

I believe all we need to do is remove TWBot (modules) from the repository one by one but only if it's sure it's transferred to multibot and can be removed.

What's this waiting on?

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

From what I can see all TWBot modules have been transferred successfully and often made better. Also the multibots have much more functionality due to the onset of TWScript and escape keys. I'm closing this ticket.
