Author Topic: Log playtime from buddys ON/OFF messages [AoC] problem (Read 3524 times)

IKShadow · « **on:** November 16, 2008, 07:56:39 am »

I made a custom module that logs into database all log on/off messages so I can query members playtimes.

/*
This gets called if a buddy logs on/off  if you previously registered the event 'buddy'
*/
function buddy($name, $msg) .....

There is weird thing that I have multiple log on messages ( status=1 ) with missing log off ones ( status = 0 )

Example:

I thought BOT do whois on each member in user list every xxx seconds and show notify message only when previous status is changed.
For some wierd reason I have all that data in database however I never notice in guild chat that BOT would spam twice:
[GROUP] [MSG] [~Guild] Echo: "Ikshadow" (Lvl 80Ranger)Logged On :: [link]Details[/link]
[GROUP] [MSG] [~Guild] Echo: "Ikshadow" (Lvl 80Ranger)Logged On :: [link]Details[/link]
etc..

Bot log file:

Now the problem is that I may get "member 1 logged in 7:00 am" and then "member 1 logged in 23:00 am" the member logged off is missing.

Anyone know what could be the problem ?

I don't know which buddy events AoC creates when a player logs in. Depending on the way the events happen and are parsed into the table there may happen several events.

Best way would be to add debug-output to the buddy() function.

On a similar note you should make sure that you don't start parsing too soon after startup as the buddy events on bot startup are fairly extensive.

It's normal for the buddy logon event to fire multiple times while a player is online.
This is due to changing values like which playfield they are in.

IKShadow · « **Reply #3 on:** November 20, 2008, 04:20:38 pm »

Yea but the problem is that sometimes it missed log off events aka status 0.

I dont mind multiple online but if off line are missing then its hard to calculate exact time .. now i just skip all status online that are not close with offline one ( and there is lots and lots of them ).

Any chance I could run something in crontab that would recheck all those with status online and give them status offline if they are disconnected.

yes u can
u can check the status of any 1 on the buddy list at any time
with somit like

Code: [Select]

if($this -> bot -> core("chat") -> buddy_exists($name))
 $status = $this -> bot -> core("chat") -> buddy_online($name)

$status will be (bool) TRUE or FALSE

Any chance you can tell me how to put that in cron tab.

I would modify my modul so every 5 minutes I would check for member status and update my log sql table.

p.s. It would be better if I could only re-check those that are marked online so BOT does not get to busy.

Temar · « **Reply #6 on:** November 25, 2008, 04:51:00 pm »

1st you need this at top in __construct
$this -> register_event("cron", "5min");

then

Code: [Select]

 function cron()
 {
  $online = $this -> bot -> db -> select("SELECT nickname FROM #___online WHERE status_gc = 1");
  if(!empty($online))
  {
   foreach($online as $user)
   {
    if($this -> bot -> core("chat") -> buddy_exists($name))
    {
     if(!$this -> bot -> core("chat") -> buddy_online($name))
     {
      // do wateva to make user as offline
     }
    }
   }
  }
 }
  
}

Sound interesting... mind sharing the code?

Nothing to share really .. its just store info in DB

So far I only do manual queries to check play times ( mostly to catch the spies )

Code: [Select]

<?php
$this_buddy_status_logger = new buddy_status_logger($bot);

class buddy_status_logger extends BaseActiveModule
{
 function __construct (&$bot)
 {
  //Initialize the base module
  parent::__construct(&$bot, get_class($this));

  $this->register_event('buddy');

    $this -> bot -> db -> query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " . $this -> bot -> db -> define_tablename("buddy_status_log", "true") . "
      (id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, nickname VARCHAR(25), status TINYINT(1), timestamp INT)");

 }

 /*
 Unified message handler
 $source: The originating player
 $msg: The actual message, including command prefix and all
 $type: The channel the message arrived from. This can be either "tell", "pgmsg" or "gc"
 */
 function command_handler($source, $msg, $origin)
 {
  //ALWAYS reset the error handler before parsing the commands to prevent stale errors from giving false reports
  $this->error->reset();
 }
 

 /*
 This gets called if a buddy logs on/off  if you previously registered the event 'buddy'
 */
 function buddy($name, $msg)
 {
  $sql = "INSERT INTO hyborian_buddy_status_log (nickname, status, timestamp) ";
  $sql .= "VALUES ('$name', '$msg', UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()))";
  $result = $this -> bot -> db -> query($sql);

  if ($result===false)
  {
   $this->error->set("An unknown error occurred inserting buddy status log.");
   return ($this->error);
  }
 }
}
?>
