Hello again expert team

The game announces in the Guild Announcement channel when a player joins or leaves the guild. Is this something that the bot can see and thereby be used or is this not seen in any way? Think I have seen some comment on this earlier, maybe in connection with automatically add member to the bot, and since that works with them chatting in guild chat I presume I know the answer but I guess someone can confirm... since a bot can see global etc. I'd hope their is a way as long as its subscribed but...

I ask as I'm getting highly annoyed by members leaving the guild without telling any officers, if this little chat string could be matched I guess I easily could have the bot send a tell to e.g. bot owner, create a log and similar so that it would be discovered directly...

As far as i know, the bot does not receive these announcements.

If you feel like verifying if this has changed or not, you could enable debug output displaying all the packets the bot receives to see if you spot the message generated when someone joins or leaves the guild.

In AOChat.php find the function AOChat at line 190. Alter it to read:
   function AOChat($cb, $game, $args = NULL)
   {
      $this->game     = $game;
      $this->callback = $cb;
      $this->cbargs   = $args;
      $this->disconnect();
      $this->login_num = 0;
      $this->debug = STDERR;
   }

This will generate a lot of spam however, just as a warning.

The autograts module does not see the announcement either, but uses a different method for detecting it.

It gave me an idea, but I'll need to do some more investigation.

hi there

i paste the code in main.php bot version 0.6.4

case AOCP_MSG_VICINITYA:
         $bot -> inc_vannounce($args);
         break;
         
      case AOCP_CLIENT_NAME:
         if ($game == "aoc")
         {
                                echo "Debugging AOCP_CLIENT_NAME \n";
            print_r($args);
         }
         break;
      default:

We did somebody let leave the guild, nothing happends in the console screen.
Same when we invited him back, nothing happend.
It was in debug mode.

When somebody levels we only see this in console:

Embot [AUTOGRATZ]       [LOG]   Caleza achieved level 41
Embot [GROUP]   [MSG]   [Enraged Messiahs] Embot: Gratz Caleza with level 41. Ma
y the force be with you

btw, the logon also see the msg of people logging in or off?

Embot [GROUP]   [MSG]   [Enraged Messiahs] Embot: Thorber logged off

Cheerz

Jih.

I made a booboo 

There is already an entry for this packet earlier which will cause the case i supplied to never be reached.

case 20:
// Silently ignore for now (AOCP_CLIENT_NAME)
break;

This probably looks different when you have autogratz installed as it uses this packet.

Just add the
                                echo "Debugging AOCP_CLIENT_NAME \n";
            print_r($args);

Before the break; and there should be some sensible output.

Thank you for the help Jiheld.

This indicates that my theory was wrong, and we have no way of detecting if a member leaves the guild still

I don't know autogratz, but levelling is a status update. So far I've seen the following:

0 - logoff
1 - logon
3 - afk
5 - no longer afk
6 - (connected to realm? always follows 1-logon)
7 - level up

In the logs it looks like:

Code: [Select]

[2009-08-30 11:44:58]   [BUDDY] [LOG]   a_char_name_here changed status [7] (MEMBER)


Interesting. I wonder, if one bot has another bot as a buddy, does status 6 alter the buddy state when the connection to the gameserver dies.

Embot [BUDDY]   [LOG]   Siffredi changed status [0] (MEMBER)
Embot [GROUP]   [MSG]   [Enraged Messiahs] Embot: Siffredi logged off
Embot [BUDDY]   [LOG]   Jiheldar changed status [1] (MEMBER)
Embot [BUDDY]   [LOG]   Jiheldar changed status [6] (MEMBER)
Embot [GROUP]   [MSG]   [Enraged Messiahs] Embot: "Jiheldar" (Lvl 80 Necromancer
) Logged On :: [link]Details[/link]
maybe it helps :-)

cheerz,

Jih.
