Speaking of a settings module. I was thinking along the same lines. I couldn't help but notice I kept having to make changes to different versions of bot.php in reguards to get and set settings. Started to work on a core/ module that would handle that stuff including the table name stuff for multi-bot databases.

Haven't had alot of time to work on it though as of late but it is something I'd like to see 'officialized' with the bot. Whois in the Bot.php makes sense to me also as thats the original place for it even though I'm using Already's stand alone version.

BTW, Core modules are treated as part of the Bot Class when they're loaded aren't they? Just have to add the new core class var to the Bot class when you drop one into the core/ folder.

great module

but from what i understand, it takes several number of ppl from FC db and put it in the whois table, right?

if so.. how does it know when someone that already in the whois table lvled up or rerolled?

oh, and why it takes 6 minutes+ to load the bot every time? :/

Edit:

now the bot not loading at all
giving me this errors

Warning: fopen(http://www.anarchy-online.com/character/bio/d/1/name/wergggg/bio.xml): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable

Umm just a quick note - make sure the php-update file isn't in the bebot modules directory - it should not be loaded at bot startup but rather run manually every day or so.  This could explain why the bot takes so long to startup (I think my update script can take up to an hour to process fully).  I put my update script in the bebot root directory.

This module has been replaced by a built in who function in the new version of Bebot (unreleased) and I believe that automatically updates itself.

Cheers,

Only partly true.

Both versions will try to update an entry after some time without update.

But only the script does mass updates, the other way only updates entries when they are queried.

nah Already, it wasnt during fc db update

but what happended is what jj said

Added a note in my first post about this.

The module creates one table for the whois queries.

Strange.

The WhoisCache module contains a CREATE TABLE query, which should create the table.

And as the module is using the same functions all other bebot modules are using, it shouldn't create any errors.

I'm trying to add this to my bot, but Ive encountered a problem.  I'm using Bebot_v0.2.6, and this is the first module I'm trying to add.  I'm getting this error after running start.bat:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Bot::define_tablename() in C:\BeBot2\modul
es\WhoisCache.php on line 12

Any ideas what I did wrong?

On a possible related note, I found no instances of get_site() in any of the php files.  I'm using the "Find" command in notepad.  Is this an example of my being a stupid noob at this?  Or is it not unusual to not need to do any of those changes?
