Hey all.

I'm having troubble getting bebot to work as a guildbot. Here is where it hangs in the initial startup procedure:

Militarygrid [SETTINGS] [LOAD]  Loaded settings from database.

Militarygrid [ROSTER]   [UPDATE]        Starting roster update
Militarygrid [SETTINGS] [SAVED] LastRosterUpdate for module members set to 12465

Militarygrid [ROSTER]   [UPDATE]        Roster update complete. Added 0 members
and removed 0 of which 0 was rerolled.
Militarygrid [SETTINGS] [Created]       Created Pgname for module Relay with val

ue of
Militarygrid [TELL]     [INC]   Surge: !test
Militarygrid [TELL]     [OUT]   -> Surge: I only listen to members of this bot.

First off it finds 0 members in the rooster update..which seems wrong to me. Secondly it doesn't read names correctly in the command window atleast..it only gets "Surge" from Gridsurge. Any ideas what might be wrong? I'm pretty sure I configured it correctly..

The bot is running on Windows 2000 professional // PHP 5.2.10 (cli) (built: Jun 17 2009 16:16:57) // MySQL server 5.1

Here's the complete log I get:

[ROSTER]   [UPDATE]   Roster update ran less than 6 hours ago, skipping!

The bot stops there and doesn't take commands from the owner nor any superadministrator. I get the exact same thing on a Windows XP box.

Maybe I don't have PHP configured correctly..could someone e-mail me a working version of the bot with PHP in the bot directory? My e-mail is [email protected] or [email protected].

One step at a time.

First, i need to know what happens in the console when someone tries to access the bot. Does it not recognize you properly or is it everyone?

Second, you say the bot crashes, but that doesnt help us help you at all. We need to know the errors that show up when the crash occurs.

Third, the debug output does not help since the last update happened under 6 hours ago as the output indicates. Either wipe the database contents and start fresh or if the bot will recognize you as the owner, issue a !rosterupdate command.

I would also reccomend upgrading PHP to 5.3.0

That output does not contain the debugging info in the updated file. I need to see that debug output on a roster update. Also the messages indicate that the roster update is successful. Just to illustrate, this is what it will look like:
Brokenbot [ROSTER]      [UPDATE]        Starting roster update for guild id: 9234443 on RK1
Brokenbot [ROSTER]      [UPDATE]        XML for the Clan guild Recipe for disaster obtained
Brokenbot [ROSTER]      [UPDATE]        XML for the Clan guild Recipe for disaster contained 5 member entries
Brokenbot [SETTINGS]    [SAVED] LastRosterUpdate for module members set to 1246889012 as datatype int
Brokenbot [ROSTER]      [UPDATE]        Roster update complete.

You can also try enabling error logging in your php.ini file, E_ALL will most likely produce a lot of unrelated notices and warnings, but might give more information.

I can assure you that you do not have hardcoded punishment in the code But i find it very hard to understand. The bot is only showing what the Funcom chatservers is telling it basically, as such it doesnt make any sense.

I would also suggest taking a look at the php timeout settings in php.ini and see if they need to be raised, and if you have a firewall or router that resets "idle" connections after x seconds you might need to check to see if that is causing the connection to be reset while the bot is busy running updates or looking up data from servers.

I'm pretty sure it is a firewall issue on my ISP:s side..going to try and get someone else to host it..and seeif that works better.

I dunno..the problem is that the bot can't find the user-id's when it tries to contact the funcom database..that's why it crashes when it does addbuddy on new people in org-chat and that's why it finds 0 people in the rooster update..tcan't see anything else but a firewall messing that up..

This error has been found and will be fixed for 0.6.4.

To make your bot work properly, simply change your $dimension from "Atlantean" to "1"
