Hi Mutor, Hi Typhoon?,

Thanks for your responses and sorry about this topic not placed in to an appropriate section.
Ok Mutor, I will try to find and give you necessary infos.

Here is the package: http://www.mpps-web.com/mambo/downloads/Voltron.0.35.Release.zip

You can find the API functions in #startup.lua under mpps\scripts\

Is voltron better than ptokax  ;D ???

[Walazo]

Voltron Server is a good server with many options. Look at http://www.mpps-web.com/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=2 to view screenshots. All users with admin role can manage the hub. Ptokax is a good one server but voltron can run on Linux, Win and Mac OS.

Good, good, but seems undocumented. I think everything is as worthwile as its documentation is.
BTW not every piece of software is good just because of being multiplatform - and not Voltron is that's multiplatform but MPPS - Voltron is just a (otherwise fine) extension to it.

It can be run in any OS environment like :
- Windows
- Linux
- Mac

Is this *any*? Where is *BSD, which is the best platform for a server?
As the soft is closed-source, no hope for a *BSD version unless the author wants to make one.

it is actually possible to run PtokaX in VmWare under linux... vmware emulates a windows drive where you can install a win version and under that run PtokaX .. and evenmore windows should be more stable when running "on" a linux distro.. i tested it a while back and it worked quite good..

Typhoon?

[Walazo]

Ok. Yes, Voltron is just a extension of multiplatform MPPS.
If you have another server like voltron that support Lua language (under linux) I am interested. But i need to run BirthdayMan script and need capability management with other admin.

Thanks to all

Well thats where it matches PtokaX exactly   

You keep forgetting that the current development is done by another person who did not know the whole code before. Though PXLUA is opensource, and AFAIK it's a question of time for PX to follow (PPK also develops an opensource project: CZDC++.)
Moreover, can you see 'multiplatform' being mentioned together with PtokaX?

[Psycho_Chihuahua]

Well i got PtokaX running on Ubuntu (linux) a couple of months ago would still have it there if i hadn't gotten rid of my server

Do you want it urgently? If yes, I'll post cenobyte's version with the necessary API changes later today, but, with a lot of things to be modded.

I'm asking this because, will release a new and rewritten version of this bot for PX, and at the same time, for Voltron.

[Walazo]

Hi jiten,

It's not urgently, but i will appreciate if you can make same script.  All the members and other owner's hub will be happy to have this. Thanks a lot.

Ok then. Will try to get some spare time to finish it (in a week or so).

[jiten]

I will be posting the MPPS/Voltron version of Birthday Main v.4.0 later today

[jiten]

You can find the code attached to this post. Have fun!

[Walazo]

Hi jiten,

Thanks a lot and I am very very .? The script functions under the Voltron server .? All the functions run except remove date and not display message "happy birthday" for the operators or admin. Ok, now we can use it in the Build server. Thanks again.

[jiten]

All the functions run except remove date and not display message "happy birthday" for the operators or admin.

Can you tell me more about these reports? So, that I can look into them.
By the way, I'm glad you like it

2) !delbirthday 19/05/1970
<B-Day> *** Error: 19/05/1970's Birthday hasn't been added to the DB yet!

You should delete by user's nick. Example: !delbirthday Walazo

And regarding the other reports, I'll fix them as soon as possible.

Best regards

Hi jiten

Ok?

You should delete by user's nick. Example: !delbirthday Walazo

the command !delbirthday Userxxx (for example) don't work :
<B-Day> *** Error: Userxxx's Birthday hasn't been added to the DB yet!

[jiten]

the command !delbirthday Userxxx (for example) don't work :
<B-Day> *** Error: Userxxx's Birthday hasn't been added to the DB yet!

This message will only appear if Userxxx hasn't added his birthday to Birthday Man's DB.

As you can see, It works fine here:

<jiten> !mybirthday 25/07/1983
<B-Day> *** jiten's Birthday is on Jul 25, 1983! I didn't know jiten was a Leo!
<B-Day> *** New Birthday added by scorpio on: jiten 25/07/1983
<jiten> !delbirthday jiten
<B-Day> *** Success: jiten's Birthday was successfully deleted from the DB!
