Bot Of The Month Club

Provide automated music for your party or world. This bot changes the midi action in an object in your area, waits for the song to finish, then changes again, from a list of midi URLs located anywhere on the Internet.

To use DJBot, download it from www.hamfon.com , clicking on the DJBot link and then then download link. Then, unzip into a new directory, and then edit djbot.ini - changing the citizen number to your number.

Note that DJBot supports a menu when it starts - see the example ini file. You will also need to set the world, the coordinates, and the name of the object (often midispk.rwx) that will change the music. Also, in your world, create the object and put "DJBot" in the description field. The first two letters must be DJ.

Then, run djbot.exe. You will be prompted for your privilege password (enter it). From there, all songs should be read from the playlist (in a random order) in the play list file (see the sample playlist file "sample.txt" in the zip). If you get an error message, check the SDK reason code documentation for an explanation.
