SSC.Nob

SSC.Nob is a simple bot I wrote for the game Subspace Continuum, just for fun!

SSC stands for Subspace Continuum. Nob stands for Noble One Bot. Noble One (or Nob) is meant to be a gender-neutral version of King of the Hill.

Subspace Continuum links:

It's not a server bot and can be run & used by any user in any zone & arena.

It's currently not a UDP packet bot. It simply reads a log file for input and uses Java's Robot class for output. For SSC.Nob2 or something, I'd like to read/write packets, but will probably never make it.

Run

From Jar

Download the latest Jar from the Assets on the Releases page.

Then simply run the Jar:

$ java -jar ssc.nob.jar

From RubyGems or Source

JRuby is required. ruby-install & chruby make this easy:

$ ruby-install jruby
$ chruby jruby

Run the app with JRuby...

Either from RubyGems:

[jruby]$ gem install ssc.nob
[jruby]$ ssc.nob

Or from source:

[jruby]$ gem install bundler
[jruby]$ bundler install
[jruby]$ ruby ./lib/ssc.nob.rb

Note: that's bundler with an r, not bundle (which doesn't work with JRuby).

Setup & Demo

It's pretty janky at the moment, but works.

You'll be asked a couple of questions. Then input the run command.

Current Subspace configuration:

In Key Defs, set the Msg key to TAB.
Once logged in...
- do ?log nob.log
- do ?kill until kill messages are set to display in the chat
- do ?namelen=24

Now to run Nob, private message yourself !nob.start. Private message yourself !nob.stop to stop it.

Hack

Use this Rake task for creating a Jar for release:

[jruby]$ bundler exec rake jar

There's a task for running as well:

[jruby]$ bundler exec rake runjar

Don't forget to include it in the release:

$ gh release create v0.0.0 pkg/*.jar pkg/*.gem
