Bot Problems

Had someone complaining today about the bot not starting the game after 5-10 mins game had the required number of players pinged/spoof checked. When I whispered it to unhost the game it hung up but eventually come back to the channel.

was it still in the channel?

if you give me an approximate time of when it happened, i could check it's logs for something unusual...

I don't have an approximate time I do remember the game name however it was "Dawn of the Dead JOIN" it was only a few hours ago however

there was no autostart on the game.... so the game never autostarted...

if you make a game yourself but no admin joins, the game will not start unless something tells it to start....

you should have whispered the bot "!autostart 8" for it to make it start when there is 8 players....

LordAlpha tried to make the game start, but since he tried it with whispers, he could not see that there was many players who weren't pinged yet... so he couldn't start it...

Mish, doesnt !start force Force the bot to start regardless of people who are pinged? why would that change through whisper? or did he only try !start ??

Ah alright well that's the problem then operator FAIL not bot (: Thanks misho

he didn't try to force it, only used !start

also take into account that some players ay have been dling the map still

and also may i make a point that you should ALWAYS use !getgames to check whether the game has any people in it lol, cause if you !start the game with noone in it the bot will tend to crash.

lol we wouldnt want that now will we ^^ issue is, you have to whisper the bot !getgames because if its in a game u cant exactly say that in the channel and get an answer ^^ lol

you can whisper every command to the bot....

Yea that's how I got it to unhost
