BFLogBot

Sorry, I was bored again :/

This bot will log everything said in chat. Make sure that you create a file called "bflog.txt" and write the path to that file in the code, where it says so

Examples:

  Code:

file = io.open("/users/BitfighterRocks/DesktopFolder/bflog.txt", "a+")

file = io.open("C:/Documents and Settings/BF/desktop/bflog.txt", "a+")

file = io.open("/usr/BF/desktop/bflog.txt", "a+")

Happy bitting!

BOT CODE:

  Code:

---------BFLogBot
---------by fordcars


function getName() -- Called once
    return("BFLogBot")
end

function main() -- This is the first code ran, after loose code
    playerShip = nil

    subscribe(Event.MsgReceived)

    file = nil

    file = io.open("ENTER TXT PATH HERE", "a+")
    file:write("---------------------------------- \n")
    file:close()
end

function onMsgReceived(message, player)

    file = io.open("ENTER TXT PATH HERE", "a+")

    if (player:getName() == nil) then
        file:write("UNKNOWN: " .. message .. "\n")
        file:close()
        return
    else
        playerShip = player:getName()
        file:write(playerShip .. ": " .. message .. "\n")
        file:close()
        return
    end
end

This is awesome!

Thanks!

I think this might be better as a levelgen script, so people can't kill the logbot!

haha yeah, well this was a test for using external files...
But I can't get levelgens to work, probably need a newer Bitfighter.

actually this could be helpful for reporting bad players but should be off screen auto running as a option not a bot......

edited version that runs as a levelgen:

  Code:

---------BFLogBot
---------by fordcars
---------edited by that handsome devil Little_Apple

function main() -- This is the first code ran, after loose code
    playerShip = nil

    subscribe(Event.MsgReceived)

    file = nil

    file = io.open("PUT PATH HERE", "a+")
    file:write("---------------------------------- \n")
    file:close()
end

function onMsgReceived(message, player)

    file = io.open("PUT PATH HERE", "a+")

    if (player:getName() == nil) then
        file:write("UNKNOWN: " .. message .. "\n")
        file:close()
        return
    else
        playerShip = player:getName()
        file:write(playerShip .. ": " .. message .. "\n")
        file:close()
        return
    end
end

Neat idea.

[watusimoto]

It would be better not to open and close the file with each write... ideally, you'd open it once when the script is run, and we'd have an onShutdown() method that gets run when the script is terminating that would close the file.

That would be far more efficient.

Hehe, yeah :p
