Advanced greet

[TruceBuildman]

I am having a little trouble making a greet for my bot.
The main issue I am having is the fact that I am using ASCII in the begining of the greet (slashes and such to make large letters, much like when your eggdrop greets you when you DCC him, that logo). My bot isnt able to display the message fully in the channel (Only posts one line of it), and other scripts I've tried caused my eggdrop to crash, but I am guessing it's because of the greet itself, not the script, my bot loads other scripts fine.

Basically the best way to describe what I am doing is trying to make my eggdrop post this into my notice screen (not in channel, but in the other window...)

Code: Select all

         _____  _______  _   _    __      __ ____  ______ 
        / ____// ____  // / / /  /  \    / // ___//__  __/ 
       / /__  / /   / // /_/ /  / /\ \  / // /_     / /    
      /  ___// /__ / //    /   / /  \ \/ // __/    / / 
     / /    / /   / // /\  \  / /    \  // /__    / / 
    /_/    /_/   /_//_/  \__\/ /      \//_____/  /_/

This is an excerpt from the script that I use, it was pretty straightforward.

Code: Select all

###########################
#= CONFIGURATION SECTION =#
###########################

## PUT THE CHANNEL HERE IN WHICH YOU WANT THIS SCRIPT TO WORK ##
## YOU CAN USE THIS SCRIPT IN ONLY ONE CHANNEL SO DONOT ENTER MORE THAN ONE CHANNEL IT WILL CAUSE TROBLE ##

set urchan "#faknet192"

## ENTER THE PATH OF THE FILE CONTAINING WELCOME MESSAGES ##
## IF YOU WILL LEAVE IT AS IT IS YOU HAVE TO PUT THE "welcome.txt" FILE INTO SCRIPTS FOLDER ##

set txtfile "scripts/faknet.txt"

[DragnLord]

If you want help with your script, I suggest posting the entire script.
If you are looking for someone to write the script it for you, you should get a moderator to move this to Script Requests.

[TruceBuildman]

I'll post the whole script but honestly at this point I have zero idea on what I am doing so if I am better off getting someone to write me a script let me know.

BTW: I am just using this script for testing if it COULD work, I'd plan on using a more advanced script as I want to be able to put the greet in notices.

You need to send each line seperately.

Code: Select all

set greet {
 "         _____  _______  _   _    __      __ ____  ______ "
 "        / ____// ____  // / / /  /  \    / // ___//__  __/"
 "       / /__  / /   / // /_/ /  / /\ \  / // /_     / /    "
 .................
}

foreach line $greet {
 puthelp "privmsg #channel :$line"
}

[TruceBuildman]

I tried quoting each one, one by one, but it would either post some letters of it (using a different script) and keep posting them till it posted them all, or with THAT script I posted, it would do :

" "

with nothing in those quotes, and if I did all of the logo, then I'd only get the last written part as the greet (without the end)

**EDIT : Now it randomizes....sometimes when I enter it posts one line, sometimes two, and I don't even have the script in my conf :S

[Sir_Fz]

That's what the script does. It send a random line from the file. Replace RanaUsman:wjoin proc with this edited version of the proc:

Code: Select all

proc RanaUsman:wjoin {nick host handle chan} {
 global urchan txtfile
 set aire $urchan
 set ranadil [open $txtfile r]
 set readvar [split [read $ranadil] \n]
 close $ranadil
 foreach line $readvar {
  puthelp "PRIVMSG $aire :$line"
 }
}

The file should contain your logo (without the quotes).

[TruceBuildman]

Okay it worked, now how can I make it so that it appears through a private message to everyone who joins the channel? Or else I'll flood the channel if I get more than one person joining at a time.

[Sir_Fz]

Replace $aire with $nick.

[TruceBuildman]

Thanks, it worked, I was thinking if it were possible to be able to request the greeting by a user, because I'd have it set in the topic on how to request the message and instead of each person joining the channel and getting that message forcefully, they could request it and my bot would sent it to them.

Thanks,
Truce.

Ok, so you need a pub bind instead. Read Tcl-commands.doc about the pub bind then you'll know what to change in the RanaUsman:wjoin proc.
