Bug with script restart ------
Only way to restart the script so it will work again is to klick on it turn it on and off bit restart crashes scripts!!!

Yes, there is a bug in script-restarting function. Im releasing fix in few minutes.

More on scripts:
As I've checked few scripts written by others, I've found several techniques as incorrect. PtokaX 0.330 build 15 and up handles scripts differently. The initialization (loading, syntax checking) is now performed at ptokax start. Prior versions have initialized the scripting engine at the *serving* start. Therefore ANY script code in global scope is executed prior to initialization of the hub's core. Generally any other code except variables initialization in the global scope (means outside any function) is really bad idea because EVERYTHING in the global scope is executed during the syntax check call.

An example:

[size=2]...
function WriteScoresToFile()
	local hFile = openfile(sJumbleScoresFile, "w");

	write(hFile, "tScores = {\n");

	for i = 1, getn(tScores), 1 do
		write(hFile, "["..i.."] = {"..format("%q", tScores[i][1])..","..tScores[i][2].."},\n");
	end

	write(hFile, "n="..getn(tScores).."\n");

	write(hFile, "};");

	closefile(hFile);
end

---
[color=red]ScriptRestart = "    -->  "..Version.." Gestartet "..date(" am %d.%m.%Y um %X ").."  <--"
SendToAll(ScriptRestart)
SendToAll(wortmixinfo)[/color]
---

function StartJumblePhrase()
	local hFile = openfile(sJumbleWordsFile, "r");

	if(hFile == nil) then
		SendToAll(sBotName, "Fehler <---> nicht gefunden "..sJumbleWordsFile);
		return;
	end

	local _, phr = nil, nil;
	local iFileSize = seek(hFile , "end")

	randomseed(clock());

	while(phr == nil) do
		seek(hFile , "set", random(iFileSize)-1);
 		_, phr = read(hFile, "*l", "*l");
	end

	closefile(hFile);

	sActualPhrase = strupper(phr);
	sJumblePhrase = JumblePhrase(sActualPhrase);

	SendToAll(sBotName, "Jumble-Wort: "..sJumblePhrase);

	iTimeCount = 0;
	bGameRunning = 1;
	bGamePaused = nil;
	StopTimer(); StartTimer();
end
...[/size]

This will be more or less functional in 0.326 but not in 0.330 b15+. Im a little regreting that I had no time to check more scripts sooner. I bet that there are even more crazy approaches than using the global scope for execution of ptokax api calls...

Another difference is in the user.sMyInfoString. While versions prior to 0.330 b15 are not including the trialing pipe in the sMyInfoString the 0.330 b15+ versions do.

try this simple logger in several ptokax versions and compare the logged output:

[size=2]function Main()
	f = openfile("log.txt", "a+")
end

function OnExit()
	closefile(f)
end

function DataArrival(user, data)
	write(f, data.."\n")
end

function NewUserConnected(user)
	write(f, "sMyInfoString: "..user.sMyInfoString)
end

function OpConnected(op)
	NewUserConnected(op)
end[/size]

Once the script uses strfind() in regular expression mode on sMyInfoString assuming that the pipe is not present, the strfind will return a nil in most cases. Im really sorry for that tiny stupid pipe. Will be fixed in next build (not in the upcomming 15.25).

Right bug with restart fixed totally in 330 b 15,25 however i still think there is something wrong with this version.
I noticed it rejects a lot of users at connection will investigate line codes and paste it here to solve a problem.

yeah thats my main problem now besides channelbot not working like its supposed to

[Hades]

line code messages from ptokax 0.3.3.0 debug 15.25:
in WinXP Pro:

[20:23] PAVLI (193.77.141.151) > $Version 1,0091|

why?

[20:26] - User has closed the connection: DonTraba

another example

And so on:
Mainly ptoka disconets users if they break someones download?
And what about other 2 examples poster upthere
????No support for dc++ 300 and up???

You probably have change the way for load several scripts, not an standalone one, i have currently experimenting a few conflicts with new user connected function, that problems was not present before and i'm not totally sure that the problem is a bug, perhpas all remain in you have change the way you load the scripts now, in that case we will need a comment of how we can do for this case. All this comments belongs to a previous beta build and the problem is not present in the last official release. I need more time, i have not installed the last build yet because very busy days, probably this sunday i will test the problem with last beta, if still present i will send you 2 scripts and a complete description about the problem for you to check.

Can some be nice and inform me what is enable web server 80 all about in ptokax 330?

enable it and open a web browser, next you open http://
you'll see some nice hubstats, but you gotta have the html files from 0.3.2.6 in the ptokax folder.

[ptaczek]

[pHaTTy]

Memory problem in 18.25 if tempban.dat is pretty full up, ptokax overflows and fks up...i just been crashed 3 times off px, not realising, as soon as deleted the tempban.dat is was fine, i think you need it to startup and do events first b4 trying to load the tempban.dat
