[Quan Chi2]

Im making a plugin of my own. Its nothing too great. Just records staff data, staff updates and stuff.

Code: Show/Hide    if (c->check("sysop"))       sendPublic("*getfile sysop.txt");       ifstream file("sysop.txt");       char line[256];       while (file.getline(line, 256))       {               if (CMPSTART("MAXBOXES=", line))               {                                            MAXBOXES = atoi(&(line[9]));                                            break;                                            }                                            }                                                                                        file.close();                     }       if (c->check("mods"))       sendPublic("*getfile moderator.txt");       ifstream file("moderator.txt");       char line[256];       while (file.getline(line, 256))       {               if (CMPSTART("MAXBOXES=", line))               {                                         MAXBOXES = atoi(&(line[9]));                                         break;                                         }                                         }                                                                                 file.close();   }   if (c->("smods"))   sendPublic("*getfile smod.txt");   ifstream file("smod.txt");   char line[256];   while (file.getline(line 256))   {         if (CMPSTART("MATCHBOXES=", line))                                     MAXBOXES = atoi(&(line[9]));                                     break;                                     }                                     }                                                                         file.close(); } if (c->check("news")) sendPublic("?getnews"); } } if (c->check("time")) char u[100]; time_t t=time(NULL); tm *tmp = localtime(&t); strftime(u,99,"%c",tmp); sendPublic("Current date and time: " + u); } }

I also made a part that tells the times.. I figured it would be cool. I got it from that wiki site.
lol I wasn't sure of the command for getting the news text. Just correct me if Im wrong please...
Im also now sure how to seperate commands. please help.
Thanx guys!

1) Downloaded files are put into the \get\ folder *EDITED*

2) You have to wait for them to be downloaded before opening the file. Bot should get a "File received: sysop.txt" when it's sent. You can detect that in spawns.cpp under case EVENT_Chat:, the MSG_Arena case.

3) file.close(); needs to be outside the while () loop.

4) The "if (CMPSTART("MATCHBOXES=", line))" and "MAXBOXES = atoi(&(line[9])); " code obviously isn't applicable to what you are doing.

5) (c->("smods")) should be c->check. } { 's are missing or reversed in several spots.

6) Here's how to seperate commands:

Code: Show/Hide if (c->check("news")) { sendPublic("?getnews"); } if (c->check("time")) { char u[100]; time_t t=time(NULL); tm *tmp = localtime(&t); strftime(u,99,"%c",tmp); sendPublic("Current date and time: " + u); }

7) You are obviously just copy/pasting things from the tutorial. Creating a bot requires basic programming knowledge.

[CypherJF]

actually, files are uploaded/downloaded to /get/.

LVL files are downloaded to /lvl/.

i didnt copy paste... purge helped me..

[Purge]

Not really. I just linked you to the MGB Wiki on that.

Ok, give up now if you don't wish to put in the work to learn the language. That is a pathetic attempt at C++.

Along with all the errors Underlord found,

8) You have not checked if the file was even actually opened by the open() member function (sometimes it fails).

9) Commands are usually seperated by if(...){}else if(...){} statements.

10) char u[100]; sendPublic("Current date and time: " + u); is the fucking stupidest thing I've ever seen. Here is the function prototype, someone who actually understands C will know exactly why you are a retard.
void sendPublic(char *msg);


I suggest you give up now, and preform a post-pregnancy abortion on yourself to save you the trouble of reading anything else I have to say.

yeah you want sendPublic("Current date and time: " + (String)u);

instead of sendPublic("Current date and time: " + u);

what im seeing is some attempt to get ahold of the staff files (sysop.txt, smod.txt, etc) with one command. But for the rest, 50% was 100% right

AH FUCK YOU!

The nerve of you people. Yea, I don't know C++, but I'll be damned if thats going to stop me

[Quan Chi2]

I'm going to learn C++ from a book. I just haven't brought the book yet from the store. I thought it would be fun to try and code my own bot. SO FUCK YOU FLAMMERS

[Bak]

Don't start with something that elaborate. Start with a message bot, then a warp bot, maybe lvz bot.

[50% Packetloss]

Ok, quan, you are officially crazy. Have a nice day.

[Mine GO BOOM]

[Bak]

you did that without knowing c++ / c / what packets are?

[Contempt+]

I've been editing catid's biller without knowing C++.

I just looked at the other code, and learn from that.
