  • developing a bot to post into FSX-BOT

    hi!

    first, is anyone allowed to post into FSX-BOT?
    how would you automate posting to the board?

    Yes.

    I use BBBS and it comes with a utility to post text files to a message area. I use it to post new file announcements in the FSX_FIL area.

    Mystic has a similar feature. Look in the default mutil.ini for it.

    There are several msgpost utilities that are more generic and will post text files to message areas.

    do you think they would be able to run on a raspberry pi?

    Both BBBS and Mystic have raspberry pi versions so I would think so.

    I don't have a pi, so I have never tried.
