What if there was a possibility for every Bot author to make their own script for a quest.

By making this people could commit their own script to a repo and the community can post issues about the script.

If it has any popularity there might consistent questing scripts every month. The bot would be updated and pushed to this bot store and people can select the quest to their choice in the client.

There might be limits on what quests the bot can perform but I don't know if there are any.

You could add GE support and put standard requirements on what the bot should need for that certain quest.

Eventually it could turn into a bot that can support all f2p quests, p2p quests.

Let me know what you think and if it could be possible.

Not too sure why people don't just always put their bots as open source anyway.

Open source is the best source.

This could be a good way of getting the community together to work on a single project. I don't see a problem as long as the quest you make yourself functions correctly. You need to offer an incentive to the bot authors, though. Perhaps allow bot authors to charge for the quest? Obviously, they could charge more for harder quests.

This would be a huge mess and a half to keep clean, especially with the large differences in experience and paradigms the individual developers follow.
Not to mention that not everyone has experience in git.

Hmm, there is probably a chance you could transfer the money to the bot author when selecting and starting that certain quest

Well written private frameworks

Perhaps Runemate itself could implement a platform for which bot authors can submit the test quest bot to runemate and they can implement it at their discretion into the client. The bot author could be given a range for which he could charge people for the quest if he so chooses.

If there is a right format and an example to follow could it be possible?

The most I could imagine we would ever get close to this would be a repository managed by very few people, who would then handle the production branch and approve updates of other developers.

That would be sufficient. You could even require developers to alert them before beginning a project to ensure two people don't work on the same quest at the same time.

Imo A Quest Bot is really not needed especially for runemate

Depends on the language and purpose, for web I find open source more useful due to a community.

Purpose almost doesn't matter. As long as you are not commercially releasing your stuff you might as well release it as open source. Especially with "well written frameworks".

I meant api which is used in premium bots as well. Doubt many people would release that

Yeah in that case it's obvious not to release as open source bot
