Thanks jiten. Nice job! I found a couple of thing here:

- mPrefix is not set to the !setup command as standard. Setup command don't work as it should then. (If 2 scripts running at the same time)

- reqDone don't work if u set release script loads before request script in PtokaX. So maybe set mPrefix to this command to?

- Request script don't work if the config.tbl don't exist. And it not being created on script start.

- When longer commands are in the help menu, the DoTabs don't work as it should. Or is it just bad luck?

- Could u switch the place of the type an release in the +add command? Like this: +add

Thanks //StarChild

Jiten:
Can it show the link in the same line?
At the moment the link is below the correspondent release.

Also when using Strongdc to add items and use this client to show them your own releases are misaligned while other clients releases are ok.
Same releases viewed on other clients are fine including Strongdc entries. Just a bit of info...

Thanks

For now, you can add "mPrefix.." to the Settings.Mode part so that the setup command differs and on hub start, change the mode to request, so that both can be used.
Well, as I explained you earlier, running this script twice or more at the same time isn't and won't be bug free
It was created with a switch purpose and to make it able to support more than one mode will require an almost complete rewrite.
Later, when I get more time, I'll rewrite it to support both and more modes without having to run more than one script, like in your case (something like pre-defined categories). Hope you understand my point.

Guess it's bad luck

Some special reason?

Well, I could make it that way but, we would have two problems:

1. Less freedom as Releases' size would be smaller;
2. Problems with correct tabbing.

What do you guys think about this?

No the setup command dosn't use mPrefix as standard.

Then u chould change the "NOTE:" text in the script so it says the right thing.
And please. don't rewrite it again Now it's almost bugfree!

Later, when I get more time, I'll rewrite it to support both and more modes without having to run more than one script, like in your case (something like pre-defined categories). Hope you understand my point.

Well. i want to run two scripts and not one script with two versions. And in my case, I never mention pre-defined categories.

Some special reason?

No. Just that I am use to add it in that order from other release scripts i have used.


And for the link in the same line that the other stuff. I have already test it and it don't look good. The link don't fit and it in almost all cases it's not in the right place anyway. So i vote for no! :p

Thanks jiten.

Can you explain me this part? Guess I didn't understand it well.

Surely, I'll add that note to the script.
Btw, with a rewrite a meant another thing
Going to start another project, similar to this one, but that also supports categories.

Well. i want to run two scripts and not one script with two versions.

I'll see what I can do to make both work at the same time. If I do, it'll be something like a special release.

No. Just that I am use to add it in that order from other release scripts i have used.

It's really easy. Replace this in the add command:

local s,e,cat,rel = string.find(data,"%b<>%s+%S+%s+(%S+)%s+(%S+)")

with:

local s,e,rel,cat = string.find(data,"%b<>%s+%S+%s+(%S+)%s+(%S+)")

The setup command don't use the mPrefix as standard!
The problem whith this is that, when u running two .lua files at the same time. The command can only be used to the script who loads first in PtokaX Script list.
This could easy be fix by adding the mPrifix to the !setup command in the script.
And the same thing for the !reqDone command.
Hope u understand me now.

Indeed. Got it now. But, that would only be available in that "special" version.

And the same thing for the !reqDone command.

There's no need for the prefix on it, because, as you remember, it is a command for Request mode only

What special version? And why?

Yes there is. It's the same thing as whit the setup command. If I load the release script first. the !reqDone give this: *** Error: This command is only available in Request Mode. Thats why I want it to be change as default.

I think, if u change this two commands and the note. This will be the final version. Then the script can be used whit two .lua files at the same time.

Tnx //StarChild

[jiten]

So, if I only add the prefix to those two commands and the Note will it be ok for running both versions at the same time?

[Star]

Yes i think so. =) Don't u?... I'll test it... bbl

EDIT: No it don't work. And I can't understand why
EDIT2: This is because the script don't know if it is in release mode or in request mode if both config exist when running 2 lua.
Put the Release or Request option in the Settings in lua insted and it whould solv this problem. ReleaseBot = 0/1, like it was in v1.0 and v1.1

Probably I'm going back to that mode

So. Is there any new version on it's way?
