Title: weird strfind problem on testdrive 4
Post by: plop on 25 November, 2003, 02:20:54

these 2 are the problem.
local s,e,string = strfind(usr.sMyInfoString, "(%b<>)%$")
local s,e,tag = strfind(user.sMyInfoString,"(%b<>)%$")
both work on 0.3.3.0
but the last 1 doesn't seem 2 wanne work on testdrive (4), on NewUserCon... it returns nil, but on DataArival it works fine again.

simple on dataarrival the user got no sMyInfoString.. maybe a few seconds later do it like this...

Code Select

function NewUserConnected(curUser)
	local s,e,string = strfind(curUser.sMyInfoString, "(%b<>)%$") 
	if string then
		SendToAll(string)
	end
end

function DataArrival(curUser, data)
	if (strsub(data,1,7) == "$MyINFO") then
		local s,e,tag = strfind(data,"(%b<>)%$")
		if tag then
			SendToAll(tag)
		end
	end
end

no it's the oposite.
on dataarival it is there, but on newuserconnected not.

Try "(%b<>)$" instead of "(%b<>)%$"

Your search was looking for <....>$ because you escaped the $ (normally anchor to the end)

-NotRabidWombat

i do want 2 find that $, this 2 make sure i get the right tag incase some wiseass enters with 2 tags.
$MyINFO $ALL [TGA-OP]plop ikke<++ V:0.305,M:A,H:1/1/0,S:2><++ V:0.304,M:A,H:0/1/1,S:4>$ $DSL$halllllllllllo$202528377070$
the last tag as you know is the real and has that trailing $.

* good 2 see you back buddy, hope it's 2 stay, sure missing you a lot.

Oh I see. I misunderstood. I thought you were trying to do the same thing a different way, ie: anchoring at the end so they couldn't be sneaky. Nice way of doing it :-)

I tried it out:

Code Select

function NewUserConnected(curUser)
	local s,e,string = strfind(curUser.sMyInfoString, "(%b<>)%$") 

	SendToAll("test", string or "nil");
end

and this produced:

[01:15] <++ V:0.305,M:A,H:1/0/1,S:3>
[01:16] <++ V:0.305,M:A,H:1/0/0,S:4>

See if this simple version works or maybe you have a crazy TestDrive 4 to go with your crazybot ;-)

Sorry guys, I'm just popping in to let you all know I'm alive. And scheming :-D

lol, the crazyness must be infective.
i now see i posted it wrong in the start, problem is the other way around, 0.3.3.0 gives the problem. lol
artificial insanety is the bot were faking a tag is the worsed idea, if it's done slightly bad your kicked or even banned.
allready seen guy's complain about it on the stealth forum. gnagnagna.
thats for me the best compliment i can get.
