advertise on start at PM

[kash?]

I wanted a script which will send any text message
or ascii from the text file at the start of connecting
hub in PM
( text to be displayed is not to be saved in script
but in different text file )

sBot = frmHub:GetHubBotName()   --  your main bot here

file1 ="ascii" --name of file
function Main()
   frmHub:RegBot(sBot)
end

function NewUserConnected(user,data)
showtext(user, file1)
end

OpConnected = NewUserConnected

function showtext(user, file)
local contents ="\r\n\r\n"
	for line in io.lines(file..".txt") do
    	contents = contents..line.."\r\n"
    end
		user:SendPM(sBot,"\r\n"..contents.."\r\n|")
end

Done!!

in case u want to add anymore txts, just add two lines :
eg.:
file2 ="ascii2" --name of file
and
showtext(user, file2)

Unfortunately, it doesn't work m8
Can you please check again....

Can you please check again....

hmm it does work, just follow these 3 steps:

1. create a folder named, "images", in the scripts folder

2. copy a file which u want the users to receive to that folder

3.put the file name here eg.: ascii.txt :
file1 ="ascii" --name of file

(ps the file u select must have an extension of .txt)

 run the script, and reconnect, and voila ull receive ur msg !!!

I did it earler also and I did it again but
still it doesn't work...:-(

The text file to be displayed can be saved in scripts
folder rather making different folder.....

plz help...

[Dessamator]

ok, and where exactly did u put the file, with the info u want to send?, and whats the name of the file?

[kash?]

i put that lua file in scripts folder and
and text also in scripts folder with info and
I tried with ascii and ascii.txt also...

hmm, the name should be: ascii.txt , and it should be in : \ptokax\scripts
like this :
\(ptokax folder)\scripts\ascii.txt

[kash?]

I have done as u told me
Still I am getting same error

try some other script for it

regards

[jiten]

Try this one (put the text files in ur scripts folder alongside the lua files):

--added newuserconnected, by Dessamator
--by stravides
-- LUA 5 
--03/02/05

sBot = frmHub:GetHubBotName()   --  your main bot here

file1 ="asciis" --name of file1

function Main()
	frmHub:RegBot(sBot)
end

function NewUserConnected(user,data)
	showtext(user, file1)
end

OpConnected = NewUserConnected

function showtext(user, filename)
	local contents ="\r\n\r\n"
	local f = io.open(filename..".txt", "r")
	if f then
		for line in f:lines() do
			contents = contents..line.."\r\n"
		end
		f:close()
		user:SendPM(sBot,"\r\n"..contents.."\r\n|")
	else
		user:SendPM(sBot,filename..".txt doesn't exist")
	end
end

Cheers

end

function showtext(user, file)

end

function checkfile(filename)
local f = io.open(filename, "r")
	if f then
		f:close()
		return "true"
	else
		return "false"
	end
end
function WriteToFile(filename)
	local file = io.open(filename, "w+") -- "w" write
	file:write("Type ur info here(ps u can delete this line)")
	file:close()
end
 

Done !!

here u go Kash, no need to create a file, just search for "ascii.txt"(without quotation marks), and edit it and put the info you want there !

thanx guys
Dessamator you script is not working
however it is not showing any errors

jiten ur script is working
but it works only once after starting hub, i.e.if I close dc++ and open it again it doesn't show any text,
that too only I received that ascii and no other
user in hub received it

I want it to work whenever I connect hub and
whoever connect it
 
Is it possible to display two text files (ascii)  

thanx both for help

regards
