[Current high demand Pimp Dreams (Constant W.I.P)]

Better tree-house building. I just tried and even building carefully, everything came crashing down. Please make it viable!

[Native Linux server (with management scripts)]

7d night not working correctly... (A15 pre)

 

Thank you for your hook-script; however:

 

1. sOut="$(telnetCommand $1 "lkp $3")" would return me an empty time; I removed the $3 (thus, that part of the string I have now is "lkp") and that fixed it.

 

2. I (and all other players) always get "6 days until next 7day horde.", regardless of the day. Any idea for a fix?

 

I'm running latest A15 (beta), perhaps that has changed the lkp command not accepting a parameter, and also messes up the calc of the horde night?

 

Also a bit of a P.S.:

Do you / others have any other scripts to share? I'm working right now on the implementation of custom commands (such as: "/admin help me!", which would send an email to me with this text and the player's steam64id and at that time in-game name; this is still a WIP but when done, I'll post it here). Or is there a website with collection of those?

 

Thanks Alloc, zigstum and everyone else for your hard work and participation!

 

 

 

Thanks for the tips Alloc, I got it working

But I have another question: Is it possible to chain the telnet commands together?

EG: telnetCommand $1 "sayplayer player \"message1\""; "sayplayer player \"message 2\""; etc...

To avoid spamming the telnet connection for consecutive 'say commands'.

 

For anyone else that wants to use it, it displays welcome message, users playtime, days until next 7 day horde. It goes into the 'playerConnect' hooks folder. It uses PM to avoid global spam.

###Get current day###
#get telent 'gt' response

#extract day string
sData=$(echo "$sGT" | egrep -o '^Day [0-9]{1,}')
#divide by 7, get remainder

###Get player details###
sOut="$(telnetCommand $1 "lkp $3")"
#Find the desired string beginning
iPlNmStrt=$(strindex "$sOut" "1. $3,") 
#Find the desired string end.
iPlNmEnd=$(strindex "$sOut" "Total of ")
#Calculate length
iOutStrLen=$(expr $iPlNmEnd - $iPlNmStrt)
#Grab the string.
sLKPStr="${sOut:$iPlNmStrt:$iOutStrLen-2}"

###Get string parts into array

What setup do you have? Can you add a cron job? How do you start your server normally?

Need to know setup before can give advice.
