[@uponeric36]

The year is 2029, OSRS and many other MMORPG's are sadly no longer popular with their communities, due to mismanagement and strong competition. In response to declining player amounts, Jagax worked with general AI engineers to provide players as content for their remaining player base. The tech being 3 years old at this point, it had become very cheap, and a low player base was their main issue in onboarding new players. After using data harvested from thousands of combined hours of players play time, they were able to rebuild the economy, PVP, minigames, and other player affected features well enough that the human player count began to climb back into to the hundreds and eventually thousands. There were side effects of course, not noticeable to the average player though. Sometimes they would remove bots when their were too many or acting outside their vision for the game, and some players would have dozen of active friends disappear overnight from their friends list, certain clans would lose massive amounts of members, and items on the GE would be volatile following deletions as sometimes listing being deleted would raise price, or bots who consumed those items disappearing would lower prices. Eventually, many players suspected the player count was mostly bots. However, this was due to many AI players botting; and by banning these players Jagax ultimately increased AI and human confidence in their AI assisted moderation team.

[@Stormskip]

Having bots hold conversations (responding to questions) in Runescape is a pretty difficult problem. You can't have them read the chat log or even respond to overhead text in populated areas or they'd be typing 2-3 sentences every 10 seconds responding to every person that's talking. And if you're running a bot farm at a single location each bot is going to have a similar enough answer to raise suspicion, even if they don't all answer at the same time.

[@legojay14]

Wouldn't the solution there be code to have certain players take priority and then ignore inputs from other players until that prioritized player is detected to have left then set a random cool down period before responding to someone else and obviously the bots try to avoid picking the same player via different code to keep track of "ally" bots

[@Stormskip]

@@legojay14 I guess that could work in a crowd, but how about a situation with 2-3 other players all talking together? The bot will talk to one and ignore the other two, while all humans will be talking together adding to the conversation. And the part about not talking to the same players, now you're talking about code running a network of bots instead of each bot running its own code. I saw some that looked like that before on one of Pugger's LMS bot vids and that was impressive, but not at all easy to make or manage. Your idea might even be even more complicated than what that code does. I don't code bots, my experience is more with the academic side of machine learning, so I don't know when things stop being profitable, but this is a lot of work to test and bugfix in order to have a bot not do what a bot does.

[@JDM-Chaser]

@@Stormskip you'd probably have the bot to store names in a temp file then take the input from each person and respond to be able to keep track of who's saying what, the issue with this would be the ai might be under stress replying to lots of people at once or trying to and the reply rate would be immense if 100 people triggered the bot with a key word or sentence for example "hello" or "how are you" you would more than likely crash the server , id assume this bot is triggered with key sentences or words probably both and has a max radius it can see / respond to a player , if I ever found one of these bots I would probably try see if it takes input args , maybe ask the Devs if they have special keywords or they're just using a API to respond rather than them having to manually code different responses ,hence only talking about reading and writing ??

[@JDM-Chaser]

You could just make sure it only responds if the person is mentioned or if someone else has already said that response then not to say anything at all or even just have the one bot say it , all of them don't have to say anything there are logical ways around this

[@Stormskip]

@@JDM-Chaser Unless you're wanting the bot to talk with someone over multiple sessions, names are short enough to just store in memory you don't need to make a file. And having a bot track a whole conversation is ambitious to say the least. Even the sophisticated bot in this video couldn't remember that Puggers said he already ate a frog. The neural nets that are built to mimic conversation have a difficult time tracking information over long sentences, let alone multiple sentences. Computers just don't learn the same way we do, we can't easily teach them key words. I agree the bot in the vid is likely triggered by sentences like 'hello', but it probably only has a few sentences it responds with and selects which sentence based on keywords. Basically I'm thinking it's just a long switch statement that selects based on what a number of string searches find. Or, based on the response to woodcutting level, it picks a sentence based on RNG if it isn't responding to 'hello'. Lol.

[@kyled00m]

I don't create or condone bots but it's very easy to code bots. The problem with programming is that plagiarism is key-that is to say, once the starter code is written, creating new bot scripts becomes easy. When I say plagiarism, I'm referring to code being copy-pasta because there's a limit to the number of ways you can code one thing. This means once a decent amount of bot-code for Runescape was completed, it's all about copy-pasting that code in different ways to make it do "similar activities". For example, turning a cooking bot into a smithing bot just requires the bot to recognize the difference between fire/range and an anvil. In this example, banking is done the same with switching raw food for bars. This means the code for a cooking bot can be used for a smithing bot with a change in the recognition of the required inventory, and the banking portion is the same as it just switches "important icons" from cooking to smithing. I'll say it again, programing is about plagiarism/copy-pasta and it didn't require the community to become programmers. It only required them to have a basic understanding of which line of codes does what and rearrange available codes to work how they want it to. A programmer would have an easier time by far but there's no way they would build it from the ground up when there's clearly open source scripts available to copy-pasta and save lots of time. To compare how a regular person would rewrite a script, all your have to do is look at the human body: 1. How do you walk forward? You lift one leg and let your body fall forward before letting that foot reach the ground and follow up with your other leg. 2. How do you walk backwards? You invert the "code" (method) of walking forward. It's an inversion of the copy-pasta! 3. etc. What's hilarious is that it's much easier to implement moving a character that's already automated by the game's character movement as you skip a lot of the human body steps as you only need to click once to automatically move a long distance in osrs. Of course, the hard part would be coding things to work the way you want from the ground up-how do you recognize an object?, How do you interact with object N (, N+1, N+2, etc.)?, How long do you have to wait before you can start your next action (time or recognition of inventory)?, and so on. Once all these starting factors are coded once, it can be copied into each and every script so you don't have to code it again, and if someone gets a hold of that script, they can copy it as well. There were new objects with the new minigame but once they're added to the database of actions, it's all about playing the game a couple times to understand "what you need the bot to watch out for and do" and then arranging the available code to work (and troubleshooting when it doesn't).

[@kidbusiness112]

Kyled00m more people need to know this cause u are on point 100%

[@Bittamin]

RuneScape has seriously pioneered the scripting of anything to another level. Like without RuneScape I feel like we would be decades behind on macro technology because not many things require this much effort. People pushing the limits of technology is actually amazing, it’s also really sad at the same time. But still, I think even you Mr.P through all of these videos and research you’ve done have found a keen interest in this script technology. Imagine having a bar tender robot at a bar that could have a conversation with you and get your drinks on time. This stuff is actually the future of our reality, and it baffles me it came from a game my childhood stems from and how I learned to actually converse as a child and learning to type. Just wow

Yes and no. While it is something that's "uncanny" in the sense of you interacting with a lifeless machine, the same can be said of simply your own smartphone assistant. All they're doing is plugging in an additional layer of programming, which in this case is using OCR (taking text from the screen). Then just relaying back (what we could call 'answering' us lol) the response from whatever source it's sending the chat/dialogue. Similar to how you may have a different "conversation" with Siri or Alexa, in that you may say the same thing but both give a different response as/in their own "way".

[@Votexforxme]

Youre so wrong about it, "scripts" as you know that were generaly named "Cheats(they still are)" but ppl started really using it when it came to games that had real money tied to it, and those were early mmo's they didnt got any real progress since it was very easy to do, remember anti cheat was very bad, then came Steam with their games and cheats took off there, took whole 6 month after wow was released to have bots in it, this was a game changer and bot became very good but again stood still for a loong time untill egoshooter were the new stuff and ppl began to cheat since it was a "i am better than you place" even the code writer had to semi- compete since better cheats= more buyers, egoshooter right now are so advanced that AI learning is a huge part of it, making them almost undetectable (still in the early phases) waht i saw was impressive and if this will make its way to runescape as standart (isnt right now, ive recently got the knowhow how to do it). then either jagex will have a real anticheat team or the game will have a bad time.

Part of what's made the bot creation so common/flourishing is the openness with which code & databases are shared. Especially if it's related to AI. Just the same applies to the process of catching bots as well.

These ads are getting smarter. -Not a bot comment

[@Cuckie1996]

Years ago I asked that Cleverbot if he plays Runescape he replied, "I play Old School Runescape the only good version of Runescape" I was creased and as an RS3 player as if he did me like that. Wish I got a screenshot, I tried asking him it since but he says other stuff now. Update: I asked him again just there, he says he doesn't play Runescape but he plays Minecraft, LMFAO

[@zeek4605]

sir pugger: hey bot: nothing much just checkin mah balls for testicular cancer

[@James-vc1kc]

I was convinced several years ago when I stopped playing that there’s more bots/gold farmers than there are real people playing, and I’ve only been more convinced of that as I see videos like this

[@pseudophp]

What a shame - tis was my childhood.

[@avionprime8757]

The twist at the end is gonna be that Sir Pugger was a bot all along

[@Fallahh]

Bots are at the furnace in edgeville world 573.

[@kikook222]

I'm the final boss of the turing test because I always get these AI's to very distinguishably not know what to reply with. It's all about logic attacking. I literally start every convo with 'what's poppin' and half of them don't know what I'm doing.

[@mylespando5192]

Puffer: How long have you been reading? Bot: I’m not sure I’m more of a reader than a mather.

[@fatedgaming6550]

Next minute sirpugger is the number underworld bot runner that ever existed 😀

[@Zackaery]

GOTR already released?!?1? That's CRAZYYYYYYYY Script Factory is INSANE

[@Veganphobic]

I knew this day would come wow

[@secoat]

my buddy made a script in 2007-2008 that would respond with 100s of code words. was super advanced for the time… well he ended up getting a job offer from facebook for 6 digits are year lol

[@chumbucketjones9761]

How many actual players will get reported as bots thanks to this, I wonder.

[@kitkup8570]

I noticed some bots at the Sorceress's Garden, I would assume they were leveling up theiving so they could later steal from Master Farmers, but I can't be sure. The bots would hop worlds after a few seconds and seemed like they were trying to go through it with stops at every safe spot rather than one clicking it, I only caught onto them being bots because I kept seeing the same few people hop into the world I was on then seconds later hopping again before a while later seeing them come back and repeating, I was there for hours so there was plenty of time for them to see other people in other worlds I guess. I didn't have a way to check their stats or anything so I don't got much else to say, all I could do was report them ingame

[@t-yoonit]

Reduces the likelihood of reporting of bots if they respond to questions. Also the speed of bot developments is crazy. The Christmas event this year was a testament to that. Within a couple days there was a bot farm running on every f2p world with hundreds of level 3 bots speed running the event and collecting the "rares"

[@isaacfoulke3058]

This explains so much

[@offlinedrbignasty2979]

not really a convo but one time in rs3 i was walking by craft guild and i saw a bot cutting oaks he was really close to 99 and i watched him for like 20 minutes until he got 99 and i congratulated him what a day

[@70percentAdvertising]

"disliked" I'm sorry pug she is too convincing

[@zachmansfield6640]

Oh, God. The robot apocalypse is gonna have 99 agility

[@mohdpros]

I want more botscape

[@FusionDeveloper]

Sometimes I lay in bed with a wireless mouse and play from across the room, where I wouldn't be able to read the chat and wouldn't have my keyboard to respond. Does that mean I'm going to get banned? I just wonder how many times innocent people are banned.

[@Null_Experis]

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

[@feindwalker]

As an old scripter, bots talking definitely isn't new, but conversing with players is.

[@BlackNook]

back in 2007 there were already bots that responded with their respective skill lvls

[@laidoffscientist5259]

I’d interpret that as AI increases in accessibility and utility, it’s easier to program bots. Bot building blocks may continue to become more reliable and generalizable, so as new content comes through, as long as the process can be learned, it can be botted.

[@massy9437]

im not suprised bots get made faster you make being a botter seem fantastic

[@alexandermartinez732]

I knew there were bots who did this but this is next level xD

[@dominichall3851]

i swear the firestander guy that used to stand on the barb village fire on 301 was one of these bots

[@pythonx1358]

I wasn't sitting here refreshing

[@dt1458]

sirpugger would probably think im a bot, im always semi afking

[@jakemickle5720]

I learned so much about python you’re trying bots in RuneScape. Started off with auto clickers all the way up to progressive Scripps. I never made much gp but I learned so much

[@hiddencow3272]

"talk about the two things most of my viewers have. April is Testicular Cancer..." bruh lmao

[@V0nH3r1n]

You need to investigate the Puro-Puro bot hierarchy.

[@Kerttis]

"something most of my viewers have" TESTICULAR CANCER

[@sunderlund]

Bro the AI thing at the end totally got me

[@danieldrevet5643]

ive found a lot of bots in falador by the water pump just filling things with water and i assume banking right there, very simple farm but ive been seeing it quite a lot

[@brndto]

bots have had these auto reply functionalities for at least a decade, I even fooled a player moderator back in RS2 lol

[@darknight1220]

aight 10 months later and i think just got duped by a possible bot at jogres, had a small convo over how long it took for me to pick a rogues purse

[@nipaimmonen1244]

Yo! SirPugger! Recent price increase or air orbs went nuts so... there's again s*** ton of botters charging air orbs... mostly level 44-50

[@twiztedsnake13]

I realize bots are bad for the game but I don't know what I'd do without SirPugger's videos

[@ShaneMchit]

“Something most of my viewers have, testicular cancer” -Sirpugger, probably

[@afrozensquirl6590]

I think we will eventually see fully autonomous AI bots indistinguishable from real players, whether for osrs or as bots in a battle Royale game for example. They'll be able to chat, speak, etc. And no one will be the wiser.
