my quest for a great guild-bot continues and Ive noticed some problems with the !nano script. after Ive installed this script one of my guilder's typed !nano and dropped a ID into the chat, while the bot replied and showed a list with the nano that the ID would make I noticed later on that I got some warnings in the bot log.


Ive tried that myself now with a ID for Complete Healing and the same thing happened again. from what I can tell, it looks like the search engine runs into troubles when the search contains an instruction disk.

Search 1.
Using a real Instruction Disc (Complete Healing) that I drop into the chat gives me a result list containing 6 nano's and the bot log spams the listed warnings above and the results window has the following header

Search 2.
Typing !nano Instruction Disc (Complete Healing) gives me a search result of 18 nano's, and these warnings

Search 3.
Typing !nano Instruction Disc Complete Healing yields a search result of 27 nano's and no warnings.

to me it seems obvious that the search script cant handle parenthesis as search option so that might need fixing, but what I think would be a good option would be making the search script to search and list only the resulting nano when a ID is dropped into the search. With that function my guilders and anyone else using this script could just drop any ID's they might find into the search and immediately find out if the ID could be worth something or not without having to browse through a bunch of nano's that are partial hits.

Im aware of that, but what I thought might be a good idea is that if someone do drop an ID into the search the bot could reply with what nano the ID would would produce and whether it was a shop nano, mission loot/roll, dyna or other, just like the way the search lists nano searches.

So if some froob/noob is out hunting and finds the ID for Grid Armor MK I and have no clue whether he should sell it or not and no'one online in the guild that could answer he could use !nano on the ID and get a reply telling saying:
and he would know with that reply that this disk had some significance if he had been told previously that dyna nano's where rare and could be worth alot of money while 'shop' nano's isn't something worth saving

Edit: typo..

... and yes, the reaction was extremely negative here too ;-)

-jj-

hmm.. did you nerf shade nanos on purpose?


should be

One smallish detail caught my eye: Scheol seems to be consistently mistyped Schoel.

Naming convention problem:
The nanos.sql file creates table nanos and the nanos.php script calls for items.nanos in the sql call. Changed the function to ("select * from nanosdb) and renamed the database table to nanodb. Everything works great after this small change.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/ninpo/aobot-test/BeBot/core/nano.php on line 29

Version 0.4.1.  I assumed the new modules settings module is in the latest version (can't find it here on the forums and jj didn't link it)...halp!
