# The *first* eggdrop tcl tarot script, well, at least the first I've seen ;)
# I whipped this up in about an hour, most of which was writing the card descriptions.
#
# Commands: 
# .tarot 1   or   .tarot single     for a 1-card spread
# .tarot 3   or   .tarot            for a 3-card spread 
# .tarot help                       brief helpfile
#
# History:
#          June 10 2006 - Initial creation.

You will help the author when posting the full error from errorInfo and your TCL version. If the error occurs within a format or scan it should be not bad for anything 8.x at least.

Edited: You were asked to post the results of '.set errorInfo' not post something that is already known (the script) - Alchera

I have the script, I don't need to see another copy of it. I need to see the output of .set errorInfo and I need to know what version of eggdrop and tcl you're using.

The script works fine for me, so if there is an error with the "format" command, I'd suspect it's your version of eggdrop and/or tcl.

I just looked over the TCL man pages and it seems %s for clock came with TCL 8.4, so you are encuraged to upgrade. If not possible just remove the clock format and just make [unixtime] the seed for the "randomness".

Thanks De Kus, I didn't realize the clock format command was only in the newer tcl's, so I made the following minor change to the script:

Code: Select all

       # newer tcl's can use the clock format command. 
        #set tarotseed [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%s"]
        set tarotseed [unixtime]

I'll upload the fix as well to the url posted above for the script.

clock format is older, but the format string %s is kind of new... well tcl 8.4 isnt actually really new

not sure if you know, but [clock format [clock seconds] -format %s] is infact the exact same as [clock seconds]
