I was wondering if someone would be willing to write a plugin for MERV that would make changes to a zone's settings based on what day of the week it is?

uhh.. i dont think it would be too hard but since I dont know C++.. i cant do it cuz i dont know how to get the current day

just get the day, make it check the day every 10 mins or so, if its monday, change setts and do like mondaysetts = true; then every 10 mins when it checks it goes if(mondaysetts != true){ }

and to set them.. ?set setting:setting:setting

Btw, 50, dont even reply to this thread if ur gonna mention my name

He started it.. along with u and all the other ppl who think coding a bot, which is easy as hell that a 10 year old could do, shouldnt be done unless you totally kno C++ and sit at ur comp 24/7 and read C++ books and make programs.. yay!

There was this old man at my job, he was a hick named Tim who had red hair and drove the rattiest truck in the world...

that said:

dayofweek = date%7;
String s= "?set Setting:Settingmode";

switch(dayofweek)
{
case 0:s+=":setting";
break;
case 1:s+="setting";
break;
case 2:s+="setting";
break;
case 3:s+="setting";
break;
case 4:s+="setting";
break;
case 5:s+="setting";
break;
case 6:s+="setting";
break;
}
sendPublic(s);

please dont make fun of me for trying

Or really, it wouldn't be that difficult to do a whole server.cfg update; assuming the bot stays in the public arena. Just have it determine the name of the day, rename/copy/overwrite the file in the /get/ folder, *putfile server.cfg; badda bing. This should only occur on OLD_DAY != CURRENT_DAY ... :/

I doubt it too.

I don't see why not, i've used 1 for some ?commands like that, put mervbot in a subspace folder?

CypherJF · Posted: Sat Sep 04, 2004 12:56 pm Post subject:

I'm pretty sure it supports both *getfile and *putfile; I know for sure getfile works... putfile should work as long as the file is in /get/
