PtokaX forum

here you all go if you have trouble converting...

this is built with plops converter code, I just built a wxLua GUI.

Lua4 to Lua5 Converter (http://swenorth.myftp.org/network/nightlitch/Download/LuaConverter.rar)

msvcr70.dll (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/download.php?msvcr70download0UMlU0cGgX)

NOTE: file handlings is not converted....

(http://swenorth.myftp.org/network/nightlitch/converter.jpg)


*Changed*

GUI is updated.

- Fixed so even space strfind and strind( is changed ex.


Enjoy!!!

Oh God, thank U Night ..

NL, do you know a safe source to download the "MSVCR70.dll" file?

the converter is great, but still you need to change the DataArrival() into whatever is needed + code that need to be devided among the new Arrivals.

As I said this is just a simple GUI with plops converter inbuilt to make it easier to some...

But I will try when I have time maybe extend the converter a little bit more...

And divide DataArrival is hard because there is so many diff. way ppl. program the data arrival everyone has its own way.

I might fix the file handling with a little help from plop, with others that can help me.

can some1 help me with this error plz  

697: attempt to call global `read' (a nil value)

697: attempt to call global `read' (a nil value)

typical file-handler related error

Seems like a BUG to me, sorry to be the first to report. ;)

From:

if user.sMyInfoString and strlen (user.sMyInfoString) > (strlen(user.sName)+13) then
To:

if user.sMyInfoString and strlen (user.sMyInfoString) > (string.len(user.sName)+13) then
btw very nice little tool, only thing i WOULD WELCOME is an Exit button when the 'Conversion finished' dialog comes up.

thx will look into it, and I will add an Exit button...

damn cool boy.
it's gone be a real tuff job 2 convert scripts 2 the new arrivals.
gotta think a lot because i have no idea yet on how do to this.

NL,plop & Mutor, this is just a simple idea that might help you guys to solve the problem
with DataArrival() convertion(even if my idea might not work) = 01) The converter begins wit searching for smaller parts in the DataArrival().
   (from line 3 in the DataArrival)
02) It finds $To: (saves in memory which line it is)
03) it counts the "if"&"for" from the line it finds $To: until it comes
   to a line with "end"(counts max 1 "if"&"for" per line)
04) Then it counts the "end's" from the when found in "3)" to match the number of "if"&"for" in "3)"
05) Saves in memory which line it found the last "end" counted in "4)"
06) It cuts out those lines an put them inside of a ToArrival().
07) deletes the empty lines in the DataArrival().
08) Makes again a search for things that should be put in seperate Arrival's.(again starts from line 3)
09) When it does find anymore code that should have their own Arrival, it checks line 2.
10) If it found something that identify which the remaining code should go to, it change line 1
    into the proper Arrival.
11) If it doesn't found anything on line 2, then it search for example this =
    Search for this = if,strfind,data  and find this on a single line =
    if( strfind(data, advDetect,1,1) ) then
12) changes line 1 into function ChatArrival()
13) If the DataArrival() doesn't follow this pattern, the convertion won't be made
    (like it found "end" at a line with "if"&"for")

It is a good idea Blackwing, but in my eyes amd maybe plops time consuming to even try, because ppl. have build their arrivals in different ways...

Most scripts have their DataArrival strsub-ed, so they use:

function DataArrival(user,data)

if strsub(data, 1, 13) == "$ValidateNick" and checknick==1 then >> [color=#FF0000]ValidateNickArrival[/color]
elseif strsub(data, 1, 8) == "$GetINFO" and not user.bOperator then >> [color=#FF0000]GetINFOArrival[/color]
elseif strsub(data, 1, 7) == "$MyINFO" then >> [color=#FF0000]MyINFOArrival[/color]
elseif strsub(data, 1, 7) == "$UserIP" then >> [color=#FF0000]UserIPArrival[/color]
elseif strsub(data, 1, 4) == "$To:" then >> [color=#FF0000]ToArrival[/color]
elseif(strsub(data, 1, 12) == "$OpForceMove") then >> [color=#FF0000]OpForceMoveArrival[/color]
elseif(strsub(data, 1, 5) == "$Kick") then >> [color=#FF0000]KickArrival[/color]
elseif strsub(data, 1, 1) == "<" then >> [color=#FF0000]ChatArrival[/color]
Now you just omit the DataArrival and convert the crap as i wrote. The whole damn thing would not take 5 mins. And manual conversion is the safest IMHO in cases like this.

I will make a try tomorrow or Friday when I might feeling better....

Going to have an operation on my feets tomorrow, so I guess I need to have my feets high so not to much blood is streaming... heh...

But I'll be around...

This was intended for blackwings... ;P

Nice work NL, maybe some improvements can be done

function UpdateLogs()
   --// Code --\\
end

Turns out

function Upos.dateLogs()
   --// Code --\\
end

Same goes for comments

Yes, and substance goes to subsmath.tance.  :D

*** Converter Updated ***

- Added simple converter for reading files converter
- Fixed errors in code when changing word inside a word

*** Download (http://swenorth.myftp.org/network/nightlitch/Download/LuaConverter.rar) ***

In --commented lines words like "format" and "remove" were changed to "string.format" and "os.remove". Comments should be exempt from conversion, no?

Inside "" strings, "A Mardeg script" was changed to "A Marmath.deg script". Fixable?

In a variable declaration:
  leechlog = "path/to/leecher.log"
was changed to
  leechmath.log = "path/to/leecher.log"

Thx will look deeper, but have you tried the newest or the old one ???

thought I had fixed that ??

-- comments and "strings" I can look into more... When I get the time...

I used the download link in your post above.
Also noticed it missed changing write( to io.write(
and t.remove changed to tos.remove instead of table.remove
It's still a great tool though :)

HI alles :]
did try to convert my bots and gets this result:
attempt to perform arithmetic on global `min' (a nil value)

any ide ?? i guess it has something to do with the timer
--> StartTimer() <--

good day my mates well i ve used this converter and i added the scripts in ptoka x


but something is wrong here is my message in the ptoka x   :

No syntax errors in script file AnTiFlooD By PloP_(4.5.4).lua5.lua

Take away deflood.lua ... it comes in-built within PtokaX nowadays ;)

the error on the ReleaseBot you have there is predictable because this as well as no other converter will be able to convert the code used for storing and reading data in files...

For a ReleaseBot look under the Lua 5 part of the board there are fulfilled requests already ...

recently ( today ) there is a Random-Intro-Outro script under the above-mentioned part of the board .. .

=)
  once again, ok that was great tip
don t use the deflood, lees memory =)
haahha

and i ve fixed the releases script i found a link in the forum =)

but now i need plops help for showing some text files i want in my hub. any ideas for this?

i have 3-4 text files i wanna display in users

QuoteOriginally posted by LiqUiD~TrolL
i have 3-4 text files i wanna display in users

'Enable text files support' checkbox under 'Options' tab in PtokaX gui... then put those files in the 'texts' folder that can be found next to 'PtokaX.exe' ... ( there is another checkbox through which you can decide whether to sent them in PM to the users ...

I will probobly not continue this project because it is to hard to convert a hole script....

some ppl. program ex.

strfind like this 2 ex:

strfind(data, "(%S+)")

and some

strfind ( data , "(%S+" )

the spaces is trouble in this case....

But I will not give up entierly, but we'll see....

//NL

m8 i knew this thing

but i wanted to change the perfix , in ptoka x it works only with ! and i wanted to change it into +

but anyway i made my work now and everything is fine


andone who know a link in the forum to get a good random intro outro  in LUA 5 ?????

Stop hi-jacking this thread ... ;)

QuoteOriginally posted by NightLitch

strfind(data, "(%S+)")

and some

strfind ( data , "(%S+"

string.find("strfind%s*%(") Isn't this good enough?

Dear NightLitch

Please! Do so...  ;(

If i convert my older Scripts (for Lua 4) with this one i?ll have sometimes mistakes in there-  like this:

Syntax :457: unexpected symbol near `%'

The prob is:

Only the good scripts wich ? need makes errors like this...*grrrrrr*  X(

I hope, you?ll go ahead with this tool quickly;

I NEED IT and so I NEED YOU!  :rolleyes:

If this kind of error happens, just open the .lua file (e.g. with notepad), go to that line and remove the "%" from it. It'll be gone after that.

Cheers

THX! @ jiten!  ;)

That was an successful way...

Maybe you know another?

:48: attempt to concatenate global `bot' (a nil value)  ?(

(also converted by the converter...)

...in front of... Thx

well i doubt he'll know how to fix that without u showing him the entire script, btw, if u do think of doing so do it in  the appropriate thread !

Sorry Dessamator

That?s right, of cause.

I thougt i can write it in here cause of
it happend by an mistake after convertin...

Had posted an new one.  ;)
