Idea for addition to forum
 

I have an idea for an addition to the forum:
I think it would be a good idea for there to be a MAIN compatibility (or compatibility issues) topic for all the different mods and bots. Im not sure, however, if each bot should have its own thread, or if there should be a main topic, with each bot or mod having its own thread under this topic...
If you don't understand...
-which bots can be played with each other on the same server?
-Issue with <X>bot when using <X>mod!
-How to make <X>mod compatible with <X>mod!
-<X>bot server requirements, or <X>mod server requirements:
-Help! Problem when using <X>bot with <X>mod!
just some sample threads that would fall under this topic...

Sure, that's a good idea...
however such informations change very frequently ; especially with WIP bots (*cough*RealBot*cough*). Some day it will work with another bot, some other day it won't anymore...

In the end I think it's a good idea but I believe its application is left to the forum members. Why wouldn't they create a thread explaining the problems they had with a bot and what they did to fix it ? Some people do that already... I believe we should encourage this behaviour.

hmm this could be solved by a wikki, where all bot developers and perhaps mods could edit one document.

I like the idea of bot testers being able to report back to the developers about their bots working or not on their various bot-testing: server configs, directory layouts, mod-compatibility, system compatibility (win/linux), etc., etc...
