Server Help

[Guest]

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, is there a problem with watchdamage? Or is it in a module im not loading

Log in so you can edit your posts.

Also, arena sounds?

[Bak]

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

[Muskrat]

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...

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.

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.

[Cerium]

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?

[Chambahs]

uhhh, maybe the bot is lagging?

[Guest]

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

[Cerium]

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