The Real BonziBUDDY is a Steam Workshop add-on (technically software) for Garry's Mod that uses the Microsoft Agent API, developed by Siobhan. It provides an experience similar to the original BonziBUDDY and some other Microsoft Agent desktop pet applications.
Features
Like BonziBUDDY Rewritten, this add-on allows for the user to make Bonzi tell jokes, facts, say things and whisper things. This add-on allows support for custom Microsoft Agent characters that are not listed in the default character presets. The default character presets of The Real BonziBUDDY include Bonzi, Peedy, MaxALERT, Kinito, Merlin, Genie, and Robby. Bonzi, or any other character, will respond to what the user will do in the game, such as killing an hostile NPC, killing a passive NPC, taking fall damage, taking damage, pressing "y", and dying. Bonzi will tell jokes, facts, compliment the user, motivate the user to building, and rarely, the custom character support feature.
Easter eggs
If the user has the Marisa Microsoft Agent character from Touhou Project installed and used, She has special random dialogue lines that are not documented anywhere else.
Trivia
- This is the first add-on in Garry's Mod history to use Microsoft Agent technology.
- The workshop add-on created by NOVΛ is what inspired the creation of the Microsoft Agent Lua Module, and this add-on.
- This add-on was created by a Microsoft Agent veteran community member, Siobhan, whom formerly was a troublemaker at a young age.
- The Lua DLL Module is open source and is on GitHub.
