more bugs - doesn't close open files ;/

2006-11-10T02:06:48-04:00

Gah, just noticed while debugging a different script that this hangman script does not close open files..Lovely.. There are 4 "open" calls, and only 2 closes, so whoever uses the script might want to grep through the file and find the opens, then also add in appropriate "catch {close $in}" and "catch {close $out}" lines where they belong

hangman - sort guessed letters fix

2006-11-08T22:56:39-04:00

I made another small fix for the hangman101 script, this is to make it sort the guessed letters:

in proc hangman_show, just before the line with "switch $hangman(level)"

Code:

#################################################################################################set hangman(guessed) [string trim [join [lsort [lrange [split $hangman(guessed) {}] 0 end]] {}]]

I just noticed the script also bugs out if you hammer guesses at it (heh another false claim by the original author ) I suspect that's cos it messes up the timers.

It also considers non-alpha chars as guesses, i'll prolly fix it so it doesn't.

patchfile

2006-11-05T22:52:46-04:00

I posted a patch file here:

http://members.dandy.net/~fbn/hangman.diff.txt

Main changes were to create a msg bind to allow people to do
/msg botnick hangcust My Custom puzzle, added more of a helpfile, fixed a few bugs, fixed ugly colors, formatting and spelling errors, etc.

I have not figured out how the "hint" stuff was meant to be formatted, and there is an unused proc in the script "proc hangman_fake" that I have no clue about.. And obviously the scripts instructions were wrong, as typing "!hangman" does not start the game..

I wonder if this script could be considered abandoned so someone else could re-release it.

Anyway, the above changes work for me, although they're not pretty (I'd just as soon re-write the script, but...)

I did some mods to that game myself, but haven't published it since such is specifically prohibited by the script author. There's a few problems with the script. Maybe I can post a diff file, if you know how to use 'diff' to apply the changes.

hi all

my first post here because ive never had a problem with eggdrop untill now lol.
i decided to spice my bot up a bit and add a game script.
the problem is i can start the game by using the command !startgame but my guests that join the channel cant. i want it so my guests can start the game too
it must be a simple solution but i cant think what it is. ive added public commands but to no avail.
would be grateful for any help.
thanks
