[night_hawk]

how do i set the program so that vips have to follow the slot/ hub ratio rule...i set !setslotshub a 2 but that only works on regs and users..but not vip..is there a setting i can search for to fix this ...just till you are done with your new verion...if you do not mind...

[night_hawk]

when i use commands everyone in my hub sees the commands...why is this happening...

[Snowman]

night_hawk:

The problem about others seeing your commands is news to me. Are you sure they are not sent in main but in a message to you only?
You can send the commands directly in a PM to the MM if you want to be sure others should not see them. just use the command "!!" (two quotes) to open the PM.

The other thing about the slots/hub ratio...
I must admit I can't even remember if that also was ment for VIP's...

Wake up, rise and shine and pls prepare for a new release of ptax on a hub near you  :]  :]  :]

[Snowman]

It's about time

Now I just hope it doesn't require too many changes in my script


Snowman

[MrZ]

Hia Snowy :))

Wel i guess we better prepare to convert to lua5

[Snowman]

hi Snowman

Now there is a release of Ptokax lua 5 based
im not sure in Mean_Machine which parts to change
I know you are working on a new one,
but is there anything in old one i can change for the time being.
Thank you REBEL

[Snowman]

REBEL:

I can't even say for now as I don't even know LUA v5 yet.
Have to find out what parts will be incompatible, but I'll let you all know when, how & what

Hi Snowman

Thought i'd try the new Ptokax hub and run
Mean_Machine to see what happens
these are the errors i got

[Snowman]

YIKES!!!  


I'll have a look at that AND the new PtokaX within a couple of days...


Snowman

[NightLitch]

Hey Snowman, if you run like Editplus or an editor where you can FIND and REPLACE words it will be fast converting.

strfind --> string.find

tinsert --> table.insert


and all your filehander functions you need to change look in the Lua5 HowTo FileHanderls by me then you should not have any bigger problem.

You now Lua4, Lua5 is not that much different.

Cheers

[Snowman]

UPDATE!!!

The existing script have been updated to comply with LUA v5.0

Hope it all works as all I did was to incorporate a conversion script included in the LUA v5.0 distribution AND adjust a few frmhub: commands.

If not, please report.

I'll start REAL conversion of MMv3 shortly...

hi snowman

dont know if i got this right,
i used Mean_Machine 5 from your site,
which i thought was the update,
not getting any errors because its not working
as the only commands i get are Ptokax built in.

All i did was let Mean_Machine 5 overwrite exsisting script.
Or do i need to put a totaly new script in.
Thanks in advance
Rebel

REBEL
Eh... You did what I planned should work... Hmm... I'l check it out right away after work today...

v2.4.27.3

This version corrects the following problems:

Compability with the new LUA 5.0.
Error in 2.4.27.2 made the script ignore all commands.
Now supports PtokaX 0.330.


Snowman

[REBEL]

Hi snowman

Brilliant job again !!!
im now running the new Ptokax hub
with my fav Mean_Machine.

no errors to report as yet, keep everything crossed
that we dont get any.

if there is anything you need me to test,
please let me know.
keep up the great work buddy  
REBEL

[night_hawk]

is this the new verion you been working on for a long time or just the test drive 4 made to run in the new lua5 ptokax

[Snowman]

This is just the old one...

v2.4.27.4

Tried to fix a problem reported by REBEL.
'Tried' because I can't seem to replicate the errors.

REBEL:

I am not sure if I solved the problem but I tried removing some obsolete code from the script. Hope it fixed it.

I just want to say a few words about MMv3.

It is going great with the UI for it. Guess I will be done with it within a week. 2 at the most.
BUTE when I am 100% done with it, I have to do a SERIOUS cleanup of the script itself.
Want to make it as effecient as possible so rewriting everything for Lua v5 is the only way.


Snowman

[Snowman]

v2.4.27.5

Just discovered I made a HUGE mistake on the last update.
This caused it not to read ANY settings or any other files.

This is now corrected.

[night_hawk]

Snowman may you please change your stand along IPGuard so that it runs on lua.5 i really need this one thank you...

[Snowman]

night_hawk:
I can't do it at the moment as I have lost the sourcecode for it but it WILL be back as a stand-alone...
