Can it build in the third dimension, or is this just for 2D builds?
Right now it can build 2D stuff in all four directions (it builds based on which direction you're facing, builds away from you). 3D support is planned before release, and I hope to have it all done and ready to release by Friday.
Will this be able to destroy things too? And would it be able to build swasticas and the like? If so then just realize you would be giving the greifers another tool.
Lep made a bot for my server that saves backups and can restore griefed builds without restarting the server. It also drains flooded rooms, caves, etc. You can also copy/paste, import/export, it can draw circles, spheres, hollow or solid boxes, it can delete areas and can measure the distance between 2 blocks.
As for bots that can just build stuff, it's basically just a neat trick. But as with custom servers, they can do things much faster and more efficiently than you could, and that's always helpful for the long, tedious things you might want to do, like digging out a huge cave.

This is a general RBot release of which 3d builds are only one feature. There's also grief detection with multiple privilege levels, and landmarks (a feature which no custom server has right now). Try not to be so negative.
Builds will have to be added or approved by admins. That system is still in the works. :smile.gif:

Are you releasing it soon? It would be fun to write poems on the walls :smile.gif:
Releasing by this Tuesday. I'm just adding a few final anti-grief features, ownership settings, etc. and then I need to package the source into four different clients... builder, build+server administration, server administration, and chat client. I might just have different configs for each. :smile.gif:
To this build:
Source is coming at the end of the week, after I add custom direction / 3D functionality. Whee!
Thanks InsideInside, for the bot source.

EDIT: sorry if that wasn't clear enough, I should have quoted his post.

Example:
Supports PNG, JPG, BMP and multi-directional building.
Also, !build text [blocktype (optional)] [text] will build text in the direction you're looking.
Example:
So who's excited?

Sourced from:
B/W pallet contains two greys, a black, and a white.
Next Wednesday or Thursday. All that remains are a few more features (building squares, vertical/horizontal lines, grief protection, etc).
