If you where bored and had lots of time on your hands, where would you start ? What does it require to write your own botbase? Any point in the right direction would be grateful.
id start by analyzing existing botbases. maybe do a little research to see if there are existing guides. maybe start with something a little simpler like a custom routine. i suggest custom routine because i know there is an existing guide for that. take a couple lessons on how to code in c++ so you won't be terrible overwhelmed. im guessing you can write profiles, maybe a few plugins, dabbled in Custom Routines? if not, you may want to start small. spend your time browsing the Developers Forum. might be able to find a partner who is interested in joining your project. two heads are better than one.
there is a nice guide here on the forums for creating custom class routines. the info might be in there @skeetss
Theres quite a bit of outdated resources on writing CR's but if you keep on looking and playing around you will soon get the hang of it.
