Temporary Set-Ups and WomBot in the Wild

Scopique March 10, 2020

It’s Like Moving In All Over Again Monday nights are our usual get-together nights around here. We sometimes gather together in person, or online if we’re A) sick, B) lazy, or C) all of the above. Last night the group was gearing…

Kitbash3D for Cool Cinematographic and Video Game Models

Scopique March 6, 2020

Mindstrike put me on to a site called Kitbash3d. Kitbashing is the practice of taking parts from those old-school models (kits) from companies like Revell and using them to build (bash together) a totally different model. See here, taken from my recent…

WomBot: Feature Full!

Scopique February 26, 2020

A lot has happened since the last WomBot post on [checks notes]…huh. A few days ago. I guess I’m on fire here! Mixer I’ve added Mixer to the announcement functionality. This is way easier than Twitch was, as Mixer’s announcement returns everything…

WomBot: Twitch Go-Live Notifications

Scopique February 24, 2020

One major feature of CouchBot that the Wombattery Community server is missing is the “go live” announcement feature for Twitch, Mixer, and YouTube. API and I have a spotty history. For some reason, I have never been able to get my mind…

WomBot: A Discord Bot for Wombats

Scopique February 20, 2020

My personal Star Citizen focused Discord bot had reached a point where I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it. I don’t run my own corp, and my current corp has a Discord bot that’s got more features than mine,…

Population Distribution

Scopique February 11, 2020

A few post back I had written about the Wombat’s brief flirtation with despotism as several of us flocked to NationStates. Since I haven’t personally heard anyone talk about it since those initial days I’m going to assume that I am not…

S.A.D.I. Discord Bot Update

Scopique December 13, 2019

I’ve reached a milestone with the S.A.D.I. Discord bot, so its development is going on hold for the remainder of the year. Database Woes I ended up spending too much time fiddling with the database construct so I kicked it all to…

Discord Bot, Databases, and Promises to Keep

Scopique December 3, 2019

Work on S.A.D.I. continues. Right now, I have the bot hooked into the Star Citizen API (community edition) and commands created so you can ask S.A.D.I. to get ship and star system information. This is good. However, to be a true corporate…

Discord Bot S.A.D.I. and API Lookups

Scopique November 27, 2019

I mentioned a Discord bot in the last post, and I wanted to cut out all the Star Citizen-ness of it (as much as I can, really) and talk about doing it. Node is a popular platform for coding Discord bots (hereafter…

Star Citizen Corporations and a Discord Bot

Scopique November 26, 2019

Sit right back and you’ll hear a tale. A tale of a…stream of consciousness. For a while now I have been contemplating leaving or at maybe downgrading my membership in my Star Citizen corporation. I have to say, they are an amazing…
