I'm using the AOChat.php that you have on AODevs and changed the id column in the members table to varchar(11) "Out of range value adjusted for column 'level' at row 1" and I'm not sure why. The table has level listed that it can be null and the insert into statement is trying to leave it a null value but it errors. Any ideas?

Gridfan has published another approach to fixing the 2^31 problem, and basically evolves around the fact that as long as we are inside the bot, it doesn't matter if the id overflows into the negative. It also does not matter if the negative id is saved in MySQL as once it's read again it's treated the same way as before it was saved by the bot.

This way we only have to worry about converting the id to a string whenever we want to do anything externally with the id, ie xml lookups.

There is one issue with this however.
Anyone having used the convert to string fixes put forth so far will have new characters saved with an ID which will be incompatible with the new fix and will need to have the column converted back to int, and then either delete entries for the high id's or convert them.

My GMP version of Nesi's BCmath fix is here: http://firstlight.inevitablethursday.net/code/AOChat.tar.gz

NOTE: it absolutely requires GMP. Bcmath is not included as an alternative.

Official BeBot fixes:

0.2: http://svn.shadow-realm.org/svn/BeBot/branches/0.2/AOChat.php
0.3: http://svn.shadow-realm.org/svn/BeBot/trunk/Sources/AOChat.php

I'm going with Gridfan's fix as it will be easier for end users, and only requires a little more care from Developers.

Imagine I know NOTHING about .php...
How would I add this fix to my Bot?

Download the appropriate file for your version, i.e. if your running BeBot 0.2.x, download the 0.2 version, if your running a development version, download the 0.3 version. Simply replace the existing AOChat.php with the one you downloaded and restart the bot.

Khalem,

Does the towerattack module need to be modified at all btw? I know 1.19 has different output to the older Bebot one.

-jj-

Depends on which of the several modules floating around you use.

The current development version has been using the "new" format for some time now, but i cannot remember offhand when it was actually added.
The simplest thing to do to find out is to check the regexp in your tower attack module against that in SVN trunk.

On a side note, this is exactly why im annoyed at Auno for choosing to hard code the strings in AOChat.php, and even more annoyed that he choose to alter the strings from the default.

When the command hooking and parsing changes are added sometime after 0.4 release i will be changing the way modules register commands and how data is passed to the modules so that they may choose to use only the arguments passed and not rely on the text at all.
In addition i will when i find time rip the hard coded strings out and use the stock AO Client's mdb database for lookups or a trimmed down version of it that contains only messages that the bot could possibly see.

Ahh, glad im off the hock. Been really busy lately.

Odd tho, when thinking of a solution for this problem i though about doing this, but php complained about the array keys being negative.
Musta done something wrong heh.
