Butler v1.30 Released

[ORION]

#######################
version 1.30 has been released
See the related infomation in the later post on page 2 of this thread.

#######################

Well I have been writing a script for lua5 and Ptokax similar to butlerbot by [TLG]Matt? and have been developing it on http://lua.uknnet.com but I have noticed this forum has a bigger user base so I thought I might upload my script here and see what people think and where I should develop it to. The script was originally written in lua4 by [TLG]Matt?  but I liked using it and wanted it in lua5 so I rewrote it and added in new fetures which I've found usefull for my own small hub. I've tested it on  PtokaX DC Hub 0.3.3.21 [debug] and seems to work fine.

Any way here's the command list for the script which gives you a quick view of what the script can do.

Butler v1.12

!help -=Shows all hub commands you have access to except for the following butler commands=-
!swelcome --=Sets Your Personal Welcome message That the hub sees=-
!sgoodbye --=Sets The Message that the hub sees when you leave the hub=-
!butlerclear --=Deleates You Saved Messages and returns them to the Defaults=-
!butlerhelp --=This Screen=-
!butlercredits -=Shows the Credits Screen for All the Great People that have helped Me=-
!shomsgs --=Shows Your saved Messages=-
!MOTD -=Shows the Message Of The Day again for your convenience=-
!news -=Shows latest news and infomation=-
!releases -=Shows latest releases in the hub=-

OP only Commands

!announce -= Same as !releases but to everyone=-
!addrelease -=Add's a new line of text to the end of the release file
!releasemessage -= add's a message to display just before releases list =-
!addnews -=Add's a new line of text to the end of the news file (can use \n to make multiple lines)
!addmotd -=Add's a new line of text to the end of the motd files (can use \n to make multiple lines)
!clearreleases -=Empties the releases file=-
!clearnews -=Empties the releases file=-
!clearmotd -=Empties the releases file=-
!clearoldreleases -= clears old releases =-
!clearreleases -= clears all releases =-
!setolddate -= changes the length in day's releases are still counted as usable =-

-- If you restart the script on a new day before the script can update it's internal date it becomes a day behind. (Will fix for v1.13)

I'm currently working on Version 1.13

-- Changes I've already completed for Version 1.13

-- Added !hubinfo which shows a list of all people who have used the hub since the last !clearhubinfo was run
-- Added !clearhubinfo clears the stored hubinfo
-- Added !hubinfo <user> allows you to get the Hubinfo Stats of a particular user (Case Sensitive)
-- Added [!hubinfo Name] and [!hubinfo Time] [!hubinfo Connected] used to sort the !hubinfo list
-- Added functions stats(user), updateStats(user), userStats(user) to create the above two commands
-- Added function sortTable(iTable, sortBy) which sorts an table of tables
-- !setolddate now actually stores it's value in a file so when the script restarts the setting doesn't change
-- !addrelease now add the user name onto the end of the entry
-- Removed some unneccasary code from some functions


-- Changes I'll be working on for 1.13
-- Split the !releases command up into seperate commands for music, tv, movies, games, other.
-- anything else people want

I didnt have time to test the script but why dont create a table
to add commands(functions) instead of adding many "elseif" statments???
Thats my opinion.


Cheers

Heyy Guys Instead Of Sending The Info To The Main If I want all users to see info in pm what should i do
 
i tried,
user:SendPm(Bot,"\r\n\r\nThe hub Butler by ORION has just started\r\n")   
end

 But It did not work plz help me!!

[ORION]

yeh in version 1.13 I might change the commands to a table.
do you know any scripts that already do this I'd like to have a reference.


and it's SendPM(user, msg) not SendPm(user, msg)
and I might change the SendPM and main chat to be stored as a variable so you only have to change it in one spot rather than all the way through

take a look  at this function  

function SendCMDData(user,msg, HowToSend)
	if HowToSend then
		user:SendPM(Bot,msg)
	else
		user:SendData(Bot,msg)
	end
end

used with

How = nil  --//   set to 1 for pm

SendCMDData(user,text,How)  

??????Hawk??????

[ORION]

yeh I've already done something very similar to that.
But cheers anyway

Yes ORION....check this site first  http://ptxwiki.psycho-chihuahua.net/doku.php/scriptinghelp/tables?s=tables
And search for entry bot by jiten, that would help u...


Cheers...

[ORION]

Thanks for that I'll start working on it next week I have a Animation for work to develop this weekend so I have to play around in 3D Studio max for a while

Good work 4 u!

[Rick]

We are having a small problem.
When people come and go it does not show a default greeting - we aren't seeing anyone coming or going

Just upgraded from your previous butler bot which was doing the job well except !butlerhelp never worked

Not complaining! But could use some direction
thanks
Rick

[ORION]

yes I turned off the default greeting so it'd only show a message if a person has set one otherwise it does nothing so it wouldn't flood the chat with logon/off messages. I might change it so it's an optional piece of code.

[Rick]

That is what we liked most about the script - that it would show who was coming and going - and identify some issues that were occuring like entering and leaving the hub every 5 minutes (due to user issues in this case)

If that becomes an optional setting that would be great

Thanks

Rick

tCommands["test"] = function(user, data)
	user:SendMessage(tSettings.BotName, "hello!")
	return 1
end

Any way for us to turn default greetings back on?
thanks
Rick

[ORION]

I'll most likely be able to upload the latest version of the script some time today and it should have the default greetings option turned back on with the ability to choose to have it on or off. And most of the other things I was planning to do except the commands list

[Rick]

I'll be looking for it!
Thanks
Rick

have you got the option set to true.

   logOnOff = true

It's working fine on my hub

[ORION]

I've just go a PM from ** C??o?y?? **  or  Cy?e??o? not sure which it was sent from Cy?e??o? but marked as ** C??o?y?? **. Any way they have re-written the script with the commands being a big table now rather than a whole bunch of ifelses so I'm going to got through it and add in new features I've been working on and I'll release that soon

[Rick]

I should have come back last night and posted again

I restarted the script a couple of times and it is working great :D  It is announcing the comings and goings which is what was needed

Thanks again

Rick

[ORION]

okay cool.


Also ** C??o?y?? ** or Cy?e??o? have added in a right click option in the script which I didn't know was possible so when I get the new version up that'll be available too

[Rick]

We used to us YnHub and the chatroom feature that was built in
 Last night I had someone in a chatroom must have posted 50 "!invite"s in a row which of course don't work that way any more :P

Education - but it works great when used the RIGHT way  :rolleyes:  :P

[ORION]

yeh I've also added some script to the commands so when an invalid command comes up it send a message to the sender saying invalid and doesn't show up to everyone else. so if something doesn't work properly it doesn't display it to everyone unnessacarily
