The Bot is running 0.56 and was running (restarting every minutes) from the downtime to realms came back online. At the first run after it managed to start again I believe I got 20-30 messages as below, then after closing the window and starting the bot again there are no error messages and everything seems to load correct!

[AOChatWrapper_Core]    No user specified

When trying to send a command all responses are " I only listen to members of this bot." and the Bot shows the following in console:

[ERROR]  [AOChatWrapper_Core]    No user specified

The error is no surprise due to the fact that the table WHOIS in the DB in completely empty and even setting the cron for to 1min instead of 24h in the roster*php does not help getting the whois populated again. So nobody, including me (owner) can't talk to the bot in-game, and I can't trigger the in-game !rosterupdate...

Any ideas on what I can do? The rest of the DB, including USERS table looks to be all fine, I don't see any problems and the bot seems to load everything as usual with no errors... I am presuming something crashed during the downtime and that it has nothing to do with Funcom's update of course, none the less got no clue atm.

Help and tips are welcome

*update* did a check/repair of the whole DB but all was OK

Thanks for posting Sudoka, that information surprised me... but at least explains. I really hope whatever they did require a minor change, but I can't understand what in such a patch should mess up things (typical Funcom though). We need help from the experts...


*EDIT*
Note! The bot still responds to e.g. our guild information script, where ANONYMOUS access is allowed to communicate. Everything else is not working due to I presume the WHOIS table failing to populate!

*EDIT*
Adding myself to the WHOIS table manually does not help at all. So what affect that part also affect checking against it for know members/users as far as I can see.

Did not shutdown my 0.6.0 bot when the patch was going on.
It was disconnected and back online when i was back from work today.
Cant see any problem atm. Online/offline is working as before.

As posted in the first post 0.56, I'll try to upgrade to 6.0 somehow, lot of customs so need to be careful I'll post the results...

Updated to latest SVN and copied over all changed files to my live bot folder and the WHOIS table is still empty. So whatever Funcom's patch did the latest SVN don' fix it. Also confirmed issues with other Bot owners of Dagon EU... don't know their versions though.

The only change at the moment is that some CRON tasks from several modules executed directly (even if they are supposed to be on a pretty huge delay after a restart). Could be caused by some change from 5.6 to latest SVN I guess, and that there is an error message in the console saying [ERROR]  [AOChatWrapper_Core]    I was unable to get the user id for user: 'Aidbot' <- name of our the bot in this case!

Also started the Bot without any Customs, same result, so that's not what breaks it either.

I've been busy heacily editing my version of bebot, so I've a reasonable idea of how it works.

I'm trying to get mine working, but FAO any official bebot developer looking here, the reason bebot isn't working is that they seem to have changed the reply to a client name query.

Specifically

 (in aoc packet wrapper)

AOCP_CLIENT_NAME => array("name"=>"Client Name", "args"=>"IBS")

change it to

AOCP_CLIENT_NAME => array("name"=>"Client Name", "args"=>"IIS")

having updated that in my bot (currently running 0.5.3) it now works fine

edit: this doesn't work on newer versions, however the fix should be approximately the same. I'm looking over the code of the new version now

looks like they have changed some more things as well, my bot isn't getting or understanding the buddy notifications.

I've not got time right this second to find the correct arg value you require.

if you've not posted an update when I've finished some personal stuff (dad comming around for dinner lol), I'll try and find out what need to be done, and post a follow up

he prob said that because the line he posted was diferent
this update to AOChat.php has been tested by atleast 2 people
