Post subject: Command delay

Noticed something with are bots, when they send like 30 commands in a straight line (lets say burning all of a ships items), it seems to do a few every 5 seconds. like pulses, but eventually finishes. I checked all the chatdelay settings and so on, cant find anything.

Also, arena sounds?

the bot does not think it's sysop. This happens every once in a while when logging in a bot for who knows what reason. I solved it by just editing mervbot to think it's always a sysop

that for arena sounds or the delay in sending msgs/commands

Bak was talking about the delay, for mervbot to send an arena msg with sound you would put:

Code: Show/Hide

sendPublic(SND_Hallellula, "Blah Blah");

These are the other sound codes:

Code: Show/Hide

enum Chat_SoundBytes
{
SND_None,          // 0 = Silence
SND_BassBeep,       // 1 = BEEP!
SND_TrebleBeep,       // 2 = BEEP!
SND_ATT,          // 3 = You're not dealing with AT&T
SND_Discretion,       // 4 = Due to some violent content, parental discretion is advised
SND_Hallellula,       // 5 = Hallellula
SND_Reagan,          // 6 = Ronald Reagan
SND_Inconceivable,    // 7 = Inconceivable
SND_Churchill,       // 8 = Winston Churchill
SND_SnotLicker,       // 9 = Listen to me, you pebble farting snot licker
SND_Crying,          // 10 = Crying
SND_Burp,          // 11 = Burp
SND_Girl,          // 12 = Girl
SND_Scream,          // 13 = Scream
SND_Fart,          // 14 = Fart1
SND_Fart2,          // 15 = Fart2
SND_Phone,          // 16 = Phone ring
SND_WorldUnderAttack, // 17 = The world is under attack at this very moment
SND_Gibberish,       // 18 = Gibberish
SND_Ooooo,          // 19 = Ooooo
SND_Geeee,          // 20 = Geeee
SND_Ohhhh,          // 21 = Ohhhh
SND_Ahhhh,          // 22 = Awwww
SND_ThisGameSucks,    // 23 = This game sucks
SND_Sheep,          // 24 = Sheep
SND_CantLogIn,       // 25 = I can't log in!
SND_MessageAlarm,    // 26 = Beep
SND_StartMusic = 100, // 100= Start music playing
SND_StopMusic,       // 101= Stop music
SND_PlayOnce,       // 102= Play music for 1 iteration then stop
SND_VictoryBell,    // 103= Victory bell
SND_Goal          // 104= Goal!
};

But, you were talking about asss first right? Oh well, I'm so confused...

What makes a bot "think" it's sysop? Do you do *listmod after logging in? Is there something I missed in the login reply packet that says what access you have?

Well, the bots arent merv, so thats out (as well as what ekted just said).

My uneducated guess is that the original chat message -- which contains the sound code -- is dropped after its processed as a command. ASSS probably doesnt tranfer the sound code for arena/zone messages.
Assuming this is the problem, it would probably be an easy bug to fix, and someone less lazy than I should get on it.

Based upon the login response packet (0x0A), if the client checksum is 0xFFFFFFFF, then you know you have moderator access, and subgame will let you play sounds, that the client should show private frequencies, ?flags should show flag locations (ok, this isn't there anymore), etc. I used this for my bot core so it would refuse to enter any zone unless it was at least a mod, to prevent abuse.

I'm assuming this is what Mervbot does to say if it allows the sound flag to be set on outgoing messages.

Yeah, sound codes aren't propagated to command handlers. It would require one of: changing the command callback signature (which would require changing a ton of code, and be annoying for the 99% of commands that don't use sounds), adding another type of command handler (which is just annoying and messy), or doing the really disgusting hack that I have in mind (which would be, well, really disgusting). Since there are so few commands that want sound codes, I'm slightly leaning toward the really disgusting hack.

Merv does both:
It checks for the -1 checksum, but when found, it does nothing more than print a message about having VIP.
Once logged in, it sends *listmod to determine if it has smod/sysop.

Grel, any idea on what would cause messages to be sent/relayed in small bursts?

uhhh, maybe the bot is lagging?

bot is on the same box, connecting through localhost/127.0.0.1

Also, the bot was the first thing we checked. Theres no delay present on subgame. Its something specific to ASSS.

All times are -5 GMT
