Block a bot

(1/3) > >>

Fluff-is-back:
I saw too many people complaining about chatbots and how they are irritating and the rest.
So I threw together a little script that should stop the majority of them:

// Chatboticide
// For those annoying little bots

package blockDemBots
{
   function serverCmdMessageSent(%client, %message)
   {
   %pos = strPos(%message, ":");
   if(!%pos < 1)
   {
   %message = strLwr(%message);
   if(getSubStr(%message, %pos - 3, 3) $= "bot")
   {
   commandToClient(%client, 'messageBoxOK', "No Bots!", "You are not allowed to use irritating chatbots on this server");
   return;
   }
   }
   return parent::serverCmdMessageSent(%client, %message);
   }
};
activatePackage(blockDemBots);

I made this topic because it's not worth releasing as a proper add-on, more of a resource; this basically stops any chat-bot using the form "*bot: blah blah" from being posted in chat and also sends them a message. Hope this is useful

{
function serverCmdMessageSent(%c,%m)
{
%tempmsg = getSubStr(%m,0,strLen(%m)-1);
%tempmsg = getWord(%m,1);
for(%x=0;%x<ClientGroup.getCount();%x++)
if(%tempmsg $= ClientGroup.getObject(%x).getPlayername() && ClientGroup.getObject(%x).joinTime+0.3 > getSimTime()/1000)
{
commandToClient(%client, 'messageBoxOK', "No Bots!", "You are not allowed to use irritating chatbots on this server");
return;
}
return parent::serverCmdMessageSent(%c,%m);
}
function GameConnection::autoAdminCheck(%c)
{
%c.jointime = getSimTime()/1000;
return Parent::autoAdminCheck(%c);
}
};
activatePackage(BlockWelcomeBot);
--- End code ---

Stops people from saying "____ <name>" when <name> has just joined the server. Effectively blocking greeting bots.

Some market research right there

Badspot should find a way to make them no longer function (if possible without locking up important parts of the engine).

MrLoL:
Great, thanks.

Aware:
Thank you very much.

Blocki:
Chat bots have no sense
I used mine to learn very basic scripting
Then I used it to automaticly eval useless functions
Then I realised how stupid that way is
Then I deleted it

Blocki:
To go around that script, simple make the bot say Blahbot says blah or something
