Let other players fly your ship while you are afk

I didn't look at how the plugin specifically works, aside from it's use of dullbot, but I did want to say this "plugin" is quite dirty in that it includes various other plugins that are seemingly unrelated to the function of controlling a ship, and that the end user may not want to have installed. Also, because they are packaged, unless this plugin gets updated every time a new version of an included plugin is released, eventually you wind up with versioning inconsistencies that could lead to errors.

Can the remotepilot plugin be refactored to be a standalone plugin?

If the included plugins are absolutely necessary, it would be recommended that they be listed as separate dependencies that the user needs to install at the same time, rather than forcing them to use your version.

It has auto honk and bunch of fun stuff built in in sure it could be stripped though

Maybe you should take into account that wash has uploaded a file that was never meant for distribution like this, without permissions, and without even considering the author's wishes.

It has no readme or anything and has no directions... What the fuck wash? Its also outdated already.

Why won't it work in Linux? Seems to work okay in Windows though.

This plugin relies on slash commands to control the pilot's ship. These commands do not work on any other OS but Windows.

That's why I started a thread in bugs. Hopefully they'll fix that bug.

Sorry to rock your boat, but it's more likely a bug that it still works on Windows. Ship attitude control isn't supposed to be possible via macros or plugins. Or at least it wasn't supposed to be possible in the past. I haven't seen anything from Incarnate recently though to indicate a shift in that position.

This is just a way to bypass account sharing rules.
