PODBOT2.6MM after PMB...work still pending

[sPlOrYgOn]

now i see...
you double poster..
well i have no way of testing this but i'll try to find out if this is true in the source code.

[KWo]

So - next time, when You want to ask somebody to read carefully something, first - do the same by yourself .
Don't look first in the code - try test on your computer in the same way like me and SoUlFaThEr.

[sPlOrYgOn]

and no i did read carefully about 3 times..
and also you should read carefully because i just said i couldn't test...
you shouldn't give advice while making the mistake the advice is supposed to fix..
[edit]
and after i read your problem carefully i also tried it out myself and it didn't work because you didn't say it only happened on listen when you don't need pb infront of it
[/edit]

I know - I has reading - You don't have possiblity of test right now. You understood me wrong. For me is better if You don't need only to believe me or somebody (like in our example SF), but You can repeat how many times You want the result of bad work of some code on Your computer. In this case it's better for You to find some solution, maybe You can see something more during the same test. Now You understand me?

[sPlOrYgOn]

okay that paragraph is nonunderstandable...
I just spent the whole night trying to fix a non existent bug...
(nothing to do with addbot command)
and I have also found the problem with addbot

BotCreate (atoi (arg1), atoi (arg2), atoi (arg3), arg3);

should be

BotCreate (atoi (arg1), atoi (arg2), atoi (arg3), arg4);

it is now fixed and thank you and SF for pointing it out

[KWo]

I'm so sorry if You losed all night for finding bug not exactly in this point of code like we need. I meant when I use in posts addbot command (without pb) this is clear - this is in podbot.cfg command or in console line on listenserver. When I use pb in my posts - this is on dedicated server. The same if I used quotes. If You read carefully all my posts here, You can see the consequence in using of this.
OK - now I want to say only : Big Thank You. You can send me on private email account Your dll for tests (if You want), because If I understood good SF and Austin there should be some procedure for official releasing new dll. I can be Your beta tester. I think is good if Mr. SoUlFaThEr will receive this dll as first. Good job !!!

[sPlOrYgOn]

yea and one of the reasons why i cannot test myself is because i cannot build a dll right now.. only so files..

[SoUlFaThEr]

boy........you know.......as i began reading what you 2 were "arguing about".......i was getting really pissed about this thread getting so cluttered up with bullshit.

if you guys could get yourselves into a CHAT ROOM.......this thread wouldnt get eaten up but 2 people talking right through each other.

now this new thread of mine has 7 pages......and theres very little USEFUL info to read. if i could just simply delete the last 30 posts in this thread........i would.(i am also a bitz at fault for beginning to play with this bug with kwo.....me and sPlOrYgOn added 2 pages to it yesterday also)

in the end im glad you finally got it worked out because im now thoroughly tired of seeing the word ADDBOT.

Kwo.....you know the problem is fixed now ......wait for a new dll where this problem and some other features for the editor are finished...if i can get with PMB today(its planned) then by tomorrow there may be a DLL here for you to test out.
if you should find more bugs in it.......please START A NEW post as you yourself suggested.......i intended this to be more of a coding thread rather than a bug discussion.......each bug should have a separate thread........i may even ask that this entire bot gets a new forum for itself rather than messing up the metamod forum......even tho its a metamod plugin.

sPlOrYgOn:
send your fixes per mail to PMB.....dont attach files cuz his email account is messed up. so send the parts you changed......added with what file its in and the line its on......so he can open his own.....and do copy and pastes. i think it should work fine like this.

man you 2........ crack me up!

about this name problem, retrieving the real name from a bot, old joebot has a function which does it, maybe not the most elegant way, it's already old, but it works. forgetting single letters and stuff, that's something you maybe do not need :

void CChat :: ConvertName(char *szChangP){
 char szChanged[100],szTemp[100],*szB,*szE,*szEnd;
 long lAnz;
 
 if(strlen(szChangP) < 3){
  return;
 }
 
 // copy
 strcpy(szChanged,szChangP);
 // make lowercase
 UTIL_strlwr(szChanged);
 
 //cout << szChanged << endl;
 strcpy(szTemp,szChanged);
 szEnd  = szChanged + sizeof(char) * strlen(szChanged);
 // cut out (...) stuff
 if(szB=strchr(szChanged,'(')){
  if(szB < szEnd){
   //cout <<"szb : "<<szB<<endl;
   if(szE=strchr(szChanged,')')){
	//cout <<"sze : "<<szE<<endl;
	if(szE < szEnd){
	 if(szE && szB){
	  if(szE>szB){
	   strcpy(szTemp,szChanged);
	   strcpy(szTemp + (szB - szChanged)*sizeof(char),szE+1);
	   
	  }
	  else{
	   strcpy(szTemp,szChanged);
	   strcpy(szTemp + (szE - szChanged)*sizeof(char),szB+1);
	  }
	 }
	}
   }
  }
 }
 
 if(strlen(szTemp) > 2)
  strcpy(szChanged,szTemp);
 
 strcpy(szTemp,szChanged);
 szEnd  = szChanged + sizeof(char) * strlen(szChanged);
 // cut out [...] stuff
 if(szB=strchr(szChanged,'[')){
  //cout <<"szb : "<<szB<<endl;
  if(szB < szEnd){
   if(szE=strchr(szChanged,']')){
	if(szE < szEnd){
	 //cout <<"sze : "<<szE<<endl;
	 if(szE && szB){
	  if(szE>szB){
	   strcpy(szTemp,szChanged);
	   strcpy(szTemp + (szB - szChanged)*sizeof(char),szE+1);
	  }
	  else{
	   strcpy(szTemp,szChanged);
	   strcpy(szTemp + (szE - szChanged)*sizeof(char),szB+1);
	  }
	 }
	}
   }
  }
 }
 if(strlen(szTemp) > 2)
  strcpy(szChanged,szTemp);
 
 strcpy(szTemp,szChanged);
 szEnd  = szChanged + sizeof(char) * strlen(szChanged);
 // cut out {...} stuff
 if(szB=strchr(szChanged,'{')){
  //cout <<"szb : "<<szB<<endl;
  if(szB < szEnd){
   if(szE=strchr(szChanged,'}')){
	if(szE < szEnd){
	 //cout <<"sze : "<<szE<<endl;
	 if(szE && szB){
	  if(szE>szB){
	   strcpy(szTemp,szChanged);
	   strcpy(szTemp + (szB - szChanged),szE+1);
	  }
	  else{
	   strcpy(szTemp,szChanged);
	   strcpy(szTemp + (szE - szChanged),szB+1);
	  }
	 }
	}
   }
  }
 }
 if(strlen(szTemp) > 2)
  strcpy(szChanged,szTemp);
 // just forget one letter .... sometimes
 
 lAnz = strlen(szChanged);
 if(lAnz>4 && RANDOM_FLOAT(0,100) < 10){
  long lLose = long(RANDOM_LONG(1,lAnz-2))+1;
  strcpy ( szChanged+(lLose-1)*sizeof(char),szChanged+lLose*sizeof(char));
 }
 
 // copy back
 strcpy(szChangP,szChanged);
}

btw aspirin there was really never a problem with that..
thats the "bug" i spent all last night trying to fix when SF told me to stop them from having the same name when he actually gave the same name to the addbot command...
