GroupBots

Group Bots

1. Log in to the CasperLet website
2. Click the "Group Bots" icon
3. You will be presented with a "Robot Army" page.
4. This page has sections for SmartBots, PikkuBots, METAbolt, and the now-discontinued CasperBot.
5. Enter the appropriate information in for the bot system you are currently using
6. Hit save

If the renter accidentally ignores/declines the group invite, just have them click the rental unit and choose "GRP INVITE" from the popup menu. The rental units will only invite people who are current renters.

Limitations

A bot (any bot) cannot remove a tenant from the group IF they have been manually given any role other than the one they were originally invited to. The bot has no (scripted) way of knowing what additional role(s) they were granted, so thus no (scripted) way for the bot to know that it needs to remove them from the extra role(s).

Suggestions

If the land you're renting has individual parcels for each renter, be aware most people will want to be able to change their parcel media (for radio streams, etc.) Including permission to do that in the role you invite renters to will save you some time later.

SmartBots

SmartBots is a third party bot hosting service that also allows you the option to have your own bot account to use with it. See the SmartBots page for more details.

METAbolt

METAbolt is a free text-based viewer for Second Life. METAbolt is popular for bots because it needs minimal setup, and takes minimal system resources on the computer it is running on. See the METAbolt page for details.

CasperBot

CasperBot is a discontinued product. For those of you who happen to still have it, and are still using it, here is the information you need:

FAQ / Troubleshooting

Q. Are bot-based group invites to the land holding group available upon renting?

A. CasperLet has full integration with Pikkubots, SmartBots and METAbolt. Simply add your bot codes on the website and you're good to go.

Q. I have a rental box with settings to auto-evict tenants after ___ time. The box is overdue, but the tentant was not evicted. Help!

A1. This was a bug fixed in recent updates (version 1.20+) - You'll have to:

1. Update your version if you're using an older one
2. Disable the auto-evict for ALL rental units, and then save
3. Then re-enable the auto-evict for ALL rental units, and then save

This will get them to properly auto-evict again.

A2. There is a LSL limitation that will prevent evictions if a tenant is added MANUALLY to any group role other than the role to which they were originally invited. For example, METAbolt invites renters to the "everyone" role, then landlord upgrades a tenant to a role with more privileges. Then when the tenant leaves and the rental unit evicts, the bot will send the usual evict notice and otherwise attempt to eject, but the eject will FAIL.

The fix: Either (a) give the "everyone" as many privileges as any upgraded tenant is likely to need, or (b) eject them manually when the rental ends.
