Author Topic: AoC: Bot unresponsive when many members are online (Read 4204 times)

IKShadow · « **on:** January 28, 2009, 01:20:02 am »

I notice bot become very unresponsive when we have more then 40/50 members online.
If I use command !online I can see it in bot debug window ( see only the command not bots reply ) and nothing happens.

Is there any setting that i could tweak maybe some timeouts are to big etc..

I don't think many of us developers tested bots with 40+ members online at the same time.

Is it mainly !online lagging, or are other commands not working correctly too?

We daily break this 40/50 "limit" in our guild also.
Have noticed that it want reply the "!online" command in guildchat, but it do in tells ....
Doing a restart sometimes work to fix it.

Mainly !online.

I can use !points .. set !logon etc..
But when it comes to showing who is online nothing happens.

p.s. For AO you have XML file but here bot add users to buddy list to check if they are online.

ive noticed the bot becoming slow / sluggish whenever i startup a raid, (mainly because of AoC's chat spam filter) when you have 24 ppl all type !raid join it kinda causes the bot to slow right down, also on that note is there a way for it to not come up in org chat

maybe i should apply my anti spam coding used for tower attack in AO to it
which would basicly put then in a blob together as 1 message

Bump.

Having the same problem on my bot. !online works in tells, but not
in guild-chat, when we have about 40-50 online.

One year past since i run the guild in AoC and now with our comeback I setup fresh version of latest bot.
Unfortunately there is still the same problem !online does not work when many people are online ( we had 95 ).

There must be something it can be tweaked for this feature to work.

I never saw this thread unfortunately, but please take a look at the following post:
http://bebot.link/aoc-0-6-support/tell-informerbot-!help-is-broken-for-me/msg14939/#msg14939

I suspect the problem is the same, that we are triggering the flood protection in AoC.

Some more details could be nice, ie how many pages in total does the online output generate with 95 people.

There is also likely a difference between the flood restrictions in tells and in guild chat.

It seems the blob setting fixed it.

Code: [Select]

$max_blobsize = 3000; // Maximum size of text blobs in byte. For AoC
Today we only had 77 people online and it was 3 pages.

Thanks for helping.

p.s. Maybe this topic should be moved in aoc section
