Bash.org quote script?

2003-10-31T04:49:18-04:00

Not sure at all what's going on there. You might want to try to reproduce the problem with bash_enable_debug set to 1 and see what appears in the logs.

To any of you who have been having trouble with the script exhausting its local cache of quotes when using random spit mode, version 1.4.7 hopes to correct this bug. It's being tested now.

'hand' to 'op' error

2003-10-31T02:00:31-04:00

Tcl error [bash_decide]: no value given for parameter "hand" to "op"

Saw this in my telnet conn to the bot after using either !bash_version or !bash_usage, any ideas? neither command spit anything out after using them. I look around at the script, but i'm far from knowing anything about tcl.

Many thanks for this script.. it rules!

Hello, could you maybe upload it somewhere, before it appears in the tcl archive?

Just submitted version 1.4.6 with the new features and some bugfixes. Look for it to be updated in the TCL archive soon.

Is there anything else anyone would like doing to it ?

Weird, no.. The first time I have used !bash command after i installed the new version of the script, the bot read an 8 line long quote into the channel even though the limit in the config was 3 lines. However, the next times I've used the script everything was qust fine!

PS: Just a suggestion, is it possible to add an option in the next version of the script to make a bot automatically read a random quote into a channel in predefined periods of time?

The /notice vs /msg option will be configurable in 1.4.6.

3zzy, I don't know about that bug. Have you seen it more than once ?

Awesome! Except for one thing, is there a way to make a bot say the long mesage as a notice, not as a private?

PS: found a strange bug:

[15:57:54] [@3zzy]: !bash
[15:57:56] [@barabashka]: |bash| Actually, I?m only 23% gay
[15:57:57] [@barabashka]: |bash| So your head and penis are gay.
[15:57:58] [@barabashka]: |bash| Whoa, that means my penis is 10% of my body
[15:57:59] [@barabashka]: |bash| ...
[15:58:01] [@barabashka]: |bash| Since the head makes up approximately 13% of the body?s mass.
[15:58:02] [@barabashka]: |bash| so by your logic, my penis is 1.3 feet long and 6 inches in diameter
[15:58:04] [@barabashka]: |bash| if you want to figure it another way, my penis would be 4 feet long and 1 inch in diameter
[15:58:06] [@barabashka]: |bash 22829| thats just goatse enough to work
[15:58:08] [@barabashka]: |bash 22829| Fruedian slip?

Even though it is set set bash_max_public_line_length 3 in the config

I've done more experiments and non-blocking fetches still seem to take several times longer than blocking ones. The new version of the script, 1.4.5, has config options to let you set blocking / non-blocking modes for the three different query types, so everyone can have it their own preferred way.

Also, I totally bungled 1.4.3 (oops). The clock ticks -milliseconds thing means that it won't display anything at all unless you patch it as described earlier. 1.4.5 incorporates this fix.

I'm getting there ...

The blocking mode fetches are used to get instantaneous queries, namely quote by text string and quote by number. Experimentation indicated that the time taken for a non-blocking query in this case was unacceptably long.

How did you perform these tests? Non-blocking should be no slower than blocking. Not to mention, if the server is lagged/down/unresponsive to queries, the bot will end up locking, until a 'timer drift' saves it.

That's interesting info about egghttp which I didn't know.

The use of both blocking and non-blocking modes in the script is deliberate. The non-blocking fetch is done to parse 50 random queries from the site as the regexp processing of these is very slow (up to 20 seconds) and I didn't want to go locking the bot up for this length of time. When a random quote is requested it is fetched from this 50-result cache rather than from the bash.org webserver, so there is no performance hit. When the cache expires it launches another non-blocking fetch to get another 50.

The blocking mode fetches are used to get instantaneous queries, namely quote by text string and quote by number. Experimentation indicated that the time taken for a non-blocking query in this case was unacceptably long.

Incidentally I'm still none the wiser as to whether 1.4.4 works on other people's bots or not.

Its on my website temporarily.

www.damnation.org.uk/egghttp/egghttp.tcl

Let me know when you have it so i can remove it from my website thanks

Just an FYI, I've looked at the script, and it doesn't use egghttp, It uses the http package that comes with TCL.

egghttp.tcl isn't a drop-in replacement for the http package, however it does provide compatibility between eggdrop versions allowing all egg versions to execute http queries in a non-blocking mode (which btw, from looking over the bash.org tcl code, this script operates in blocking mode in some instances , even though the http package provides a method for operating in non-blocking mode), and also provides simpler ease of use.

Sorry I haven't been able to test it, my server is down.
