help with rssnews

Post by good »

My bot loads the script, I have it configured correctly but then it asks for trigger !rss and a number or a *. I want the script to scroll the headlines without having to use the trigger. When I use the trigger !rss * or !rss 17, it says "No news for channel."

Please help, demond! :cry:

this version is outdated, latest is 1.2, get it from the script archive or here

if by "scroll" you mean automatically announcing new headlines as they come, you got the right script, it does exactly that - but you need to configure your feed, see the header - remove those #'s in front of feeds() array

Yes, that is what I mean. So I switched to the new script and took out the #'s like you said and it still says the same exact thing. It looks like this now:

The only error I get upon startup is:
USERFILE ALREADY EXISTS <drop the -m>

I don't think this has anything to do with the script. Although I could be wrong. In the bot's log, it says the script is loading fine. I have no idea what the problem is.

Since I really am a newbie at this, I think I have an idea. Which file in particular, though?
