server is up, rcon2irc is running and connected. in game msgs and scoreboard appear no problems. cannot do "nexuz: hi" and have it display in game. rcon password works fine from in game. am i missing something?

synical wrote:cannot do "nexuz: hi" and have it display in game

this has to be
BOTNAME: text

and there is also a config variable for other names you can use. However there were lots of changes to rcon2irc today, maybe one of the bugs was with those extra names. Not sure.. try to update

ok, i think i have the syntax right as far as BOTNAME: text, it just doesnt display anything in game. can i just update the rcon2irc perl script? or it a server update as well?

Actually i have no idea if you are using 2.4.2 or svn.. i just suggested updating the script as there was talk about problems and fixes for rcon2irc. And i use the current development version of rcon2irc without a problem. Just updating the script and the config (and reediting it) should be enough..
Current development version of both (if the next version is out it should be better to use the one from that release though..):
Gnah, the forum does not like to make urls out of those.. please copy/paste

excellent thank you! i wll try those later today.

sweet you got the kinks worked out. bot now acts as gateway between irc and nex. one more question if you would.


edit: ok scratch the command part, i figured out you have to pm it.

also is there anyway to increase the verbosity of the bot to display deaths in irc? i'm not worried about the bot excess flooding off, i've removed its flood limits.

No, this is not supported, but you can easily add it. That's what its plugin interface is for. An untested example:

Code: Select all

sub out($$@);

[ dp => q{^:kill:frag:(\d+):(\d+):type=(\d+):items=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+)):victimitems=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+))$/)} => sub {
        my ($killer, $victim, $deathtype, $items, $powerups, $runes, $victimitems, $victimpowerups, $victimrunes) = @_;
        out irc => 0, "PRIVMSG $config{irc_channel} :$store{qq{playernick_byid_$killer}} killed $store{qq{playernick_byid_$victim}}";
        return 0;
} ],


Note that, to turn off flood protection, you have to comment out the line

$channels{irc}->throttle(0.5, 5);

in rcon2irc.pl, or it'll drop lots of messages.

fixed the regex error i got at first. there was an extra ) i believe:

Code: Select all

sub out($$@);



[ dp => q{^:kill:frag:(\d+):(\d+):type=(\d+):items=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+)):victimitems=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+))$/} => su$

        my ($killer, $victim, $deathtype, $items, $powerups, $runes, $victimitems, $victimpowerups, $victimrunes) = @_;

        out irc => 0, 'PRIVMSG $config{irc_channel} :$store{qq{playernick_byid_$killer}} killed $store{qq{playernick_by$

        return 0;

} ],

after fixing the error i initially got, everything went ok. still i get no kill out put to irc. i was looking at the text when i was playing in the terminal window:

Code: Select all

           irc << PRIVMSG #nexuiz :<synical> hm

           dp >>
synical^7: hm

unhandled: dp >> ^1[PRO]Resurrection^1 exploded

unhandled: dp >> :kill:suicide:3:3:type=128:items=128



looks like its grabbing the information, its just unhandled. meaning, (guessing) it doesnt know what to do with the information its been handed. i feel were real close to victory on this.

getting close, i figured instead of editing my prior post i will just continue on to a new one to show the evolution.

i've fixed the code:

Code: Select all

sub out($$@);



[ dp => q{^:kill:frag:(\d+):(\d+):type=(\d+):items=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+)):victimitems=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+))$} => sub$

        my ($killer, $victim, $deathtype, $items, $powerups, $runes, $victimitems, $victimpowerups, $victimrunes) = @_;

        out irc => 0, "PRIVMSG $config{irc_channel} :$store{qq{playernick_byid_$killer}} killed $store{qq{playernick_by$

        return 0;

} ],

now the next issue is, the bot just says "killed" instead of showing who got killed.

i've been working with a friend of mine who is good with perl, so far this is what she has to add to it:

[7:59] (Estella) # chat: Nexuiz server -> IRC channel, nick set
[7:59] (Estella) [ dp => q{:join:(\d+):(\d+):([^:]*):(.*)} => sub {
[7:59] (Estella) my ($id, $slot, $ip, $nick) = @_;
[7:59] (Estella) $nick = color_dp2irc $nick;
[7:59] (Estella) $store{"playernick_byid_$id"} = $nick;
[7:59] (Estella) $store{"playerip_byid_$id"} = $ip;
[7:59] (Estella) $store{"playerslot_byid_$id"} = $slot;
[7:59] (Estella) $store{"playerid_byslot_$slot"} = $id;
[7:59] (Estella) return 0;
[7:59] (Estella) } ],
[7:59] (Estella) this is where it's storing the values
[7:59] (Estella) but if the script is started after the fact then users are already on the server
[7:59] (Estella) thus it has no stored values
[8:02] (Estella) it's missing the code for kill:frag

hope this helps.

Yes, wait for a map change, then it'll work. These values aren't valid before.

ok the bot just outputs:

[1:05] @(nexuiz) killed
[1:05] @(nexuiz) killed
[1:05] @(nexuiz) killed

etc. no player names, just "killed"

here is what i am seeing in a terminal window when running the perl script:

Code: Select all

unhandled: dp >> ^1[PRO]Panic^1 was telefragged by [PRO]Sensible

           irc << PRIVMSG #nexuiz : killed

           dp >> :kill:frag:2:5:type=10001:items=1:victimitems=8



looks like its grabbing part of it, but not all of it. this is after a map change like you suggested before.

by the way, thanks for replying and thanks for the help. i understand this isnt supported.

Try replacing

$store{qq{playernick_byid_$killer}}

by

@{[ $store{'playernick_byid_' . $killer} ]}

Maybe Perl simply does odd parsing there.

hm ok did just that, for the $killer and $victim part.

[1:54] @(nexuiz) {[ ]} killed {[ ]}
[1:54] @(nexuiz) {[ ]} killed {[ ]}
[1:54] @(nexuiz) {[ ]} killed {[ ]}

lol getting closer!

Code: Select all

sub out($$@);



[ dp => q{^:kill:frag:(\d+):(\d+):type=(\d+):items=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+)):victimitems=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+))$} => sub {

        my ($killer, $victim, $deathtype, $items, $powerups, $runes, $victimitems, $victimpowerups, $victimrunes) = @_;

        out irc => 0, "PRIVMSG $config{irc_channel} : {[ $store{'playernick_byid_' . $killer} ]} killed {[ $store{'playernick_byid_' . $victim} ]}";

        return 0;

} ],

there should be an @ before {[

Code: Select all

sub out($$@);



[ dp => q{^:kill:frag:(\d+):(\d+):type=(\d+):items=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+)):victimitems=(\d+)([A-Z]*)(?:|(\d+))$} => sub {

        my ($killer, $victim, $deathtype, $items, $powerups, $runes, $victimitems, $victimpowerups, $victimrunes) = @_;

        out irc => 0, "PRIVMSG $config{irc_channel} : @{[ $store{'playernick_byid_' . $killer} ]}  killed @{[ $store{'playernick_byid_' . $victim} ]}";

        return 0;

} ],



[12:23] @(nexuiz) killed
[12:23] @(nexuiz) killed
[12:23] @(nexuiz) killed

a simliar result.
