Use Bot here? How?

[Necrorifter]

I saw how some use bot in Questing to gather voting. I have no idea if that is QQ provided or something that some Questers use to help themselves assuming it is even bot that they use. If so, then I wonder if I can use my bot or how does this even more with Questing for purpose of doing math from Sheet.

I use Daggerheart in hope that it is best balance between number and freeform narrative but my experiment in Daggerheart Dungeon here show that it is not worth it to use number despite being far better than said Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder unless I can use bot to look through my sheet that I post and do the math for me and then post the outcome to save both me and any players that use it to speed up the pace instead of boggle down with math and rolling, etc.

So I wondering how to do something like that or at least how does that voting Questing bot work to see if I can develop something similar that is better suited for PbP that use math and dice roll.

As far as I'm aware the answer is you don't; the voting bot was made specifically by a person that also handle SV and I think SB quest voting, who also develop custom Xenforo features used in the three sites.

Ahh, so basically the voting bot work because the person who work on it also work on whole system that QQ run on too. Damn. That mean I must rely on shared off-site for that if I can to use it with other players and track their rolls to ensure accuracy, etc which isn't worth it since I can just host those offsite rather than try to handling two sites for that. I will have to resort to design numberless freeform narrative for my games here to maximum pacing and enjoyment. Thank you.

I am not totally sure what you mean by "bot".

I think UrsaTempest is talking about the "new vote tally" feature that SV and SB have. As I recall, that depends on some SV-server-side (or SB-server-side) software that QQ does not have installed.

Before that was developed though, there was a program called NetTally that you could run on your own computer. It would download the pages, do the vote tallying, and present you with the results; and then you would have to copy and paste the results into a new post if you wanted to share them. This is still usable, and as far as I know is still how tallies are done on QQ.

QQ does have an internal vote tally system, and a dice roll. The vote tally can be found in an OPs 'thread tools' (only available in the quest subforums though), and a dice roll is one of the options available from the reply box (available anywhere).

I've never used either, so I can't give any further instructions, I just know where to find them.

Thank you. Wasn't aware there is tool on thread tool for that. Wondering why is it limited to quests unfortunately. I get it because quest use them the most but other might make use of them. But I guess it just poll at that point.
