JTS3ServerMod - Multifunction TS3 Server Bot (Idle, Record, Away/Mute, Welcome, ...)

[Mdaaaa]

After updating to 3.4.2 Final has faced such a problem:
Configs advertising.cfg idlemessages.cfg and so on contain Cyrillic letters so the files were encoded in UTF-8
After the upgrade when you run a bot:

2010-12-10 23:56:06 START_MOD clan: Virtual bot instance starts now
2010-12-10 23:56:06 START_ERROR clan: Critical: Welcome message or default welcome message could not be loaded! Please set a valid path to the welcome message config file. Config file: config/JTS3ServerMod_server1.cfg
2010-12-10 23:56:06 STOP_MOD clan: Virtual bot instance stopped

Boat runs only if the config files will be encoded in ANSI, but then the server TS provides the following items
<23:49:04> "TS3 Server Bot": ?????? ZeeK! ?????? ??? ??????.

but should be
"TS3 Server Bot": Привет ZeeK! Посети наш портал.

in JTS3ServerMod_server1.cfg bot_messages_encoding = UTF-8

should be allowed to line # JTS3ServerMod Config File to use UTF-8 encoding

@ Mdaaaa: Please send me your current welcomemessage.cfg file and your bot_messages_encoding setting at the server1.cfg file.

[Stefan1200]

@ Mdaaaa: Thanks for the files. It is not easy for me, because I can't read or understand that characters.

But it seems that you mixed up the encoding of the file. If I convert that welcomemessage.cfg file to UTF-8, I get that message displayed like in the file. Of course that are not the same characters like in your last post, but I think the right characters got lost because of the wrong encoding.

Maybe you should try to recreate that file based on the default welcomemessage.cfg file from version 3.4.2. I don't know why it should not work, because UTF-8 should still understand english characters.

If its still impossible I must rethink my way to make loading files more secure.

Edit:
Got it work, you really mixed up the file encoding. In my testing environment the bot version 3.4.2 sends to my client as welcome message:

Привет Test! У тебя 0 офлайн сообщений.
Это 25 твое подключение к нашему серверу.

This looks right to me (even if I don't understand that ). Make sure that your text editor use UTF-8 (without BOM (important)) before you copy the old sentence into the new file.

Thank you! When encoding a file UTF-8 (without BOM) for the bot 4.3.2 everything works as expected

Thats great.

For the next bot version I played around a little bit. Version 3.4.3 should be also able to load UTF-8 with BOM. First tests looks good.

Hi,
I have a bug
look:
this is error code, if I run this script, this script get me this error on console:

JTS3ServerMod 3.4.2 Final (10.12.2010) Instance Manager started...
Server: Virtual bot instance starts now
Server: Critical: Advertising messages file does not exists or error while loading! Please set a valid path to the advertising config file. Config file: config/JTS3ServerMod_server1.cfg
Server: Virtual bot instance stopped

Propably this is a error in a code
Who is can tell me what is wrong?

[Stefan1200]

I have a bug

That is not a bug, that is a feature. Please read the changelog, the most config files need now a special first line or the bot don't load that files.

[meliorus]

where I can search this special code? I don`t understand where it is code

[TotoIsBack]

read the readme and/or compare to the default file content of the last version archive

[meliorus]

this is my oryginal advertising.cfg file:

# JTS3ServerMod Config File
# Each line which not start with # is a new advertising message.
# The bot write this messages in the order from top to bottom and start from top again.
# Typical BBCode like in Teamspeak 3 Client possible. You can use \n for a new line.

And Latest file 3.4.2:

# JTS3ServerMod Config File
# Each line which not start with # is a new advertising message.
# The bot write this messages in the order from top to bottom and start from top again.
# Typical BBCode like in Teamspeak 3 Client possible. You can use \n for a new line.

you see differences?
If I replace Latest file (advertising.cfg) from archive to my server config folder (without any modyfication). I have the same error

[Stefan1200]

@ meliorus: Please send me your config files (after removing your server query password, of course).

Thanks for new update.

Request: Can you make a addon/plugin for this that adds a triva bot?
I know someone else has released one but its a little more advanced.
Would be cool to just have a triva bot without having to install stuff.
Also to have it all in one bot would be 100x better.
If not all good, just thought I would ask.

Thanks.

Currently I am not sure what you mean with "triva bot". But I don't think that I will add much major stuff to the bot. I have one idea for a new major feature that I may add in the next months, but the bot has almost all things which it should have. So I am now focused to minor changes, possible bug fixing and making it more easy / secure.

[Stefan1200]

To make some things more easy...

New version

Version 3.4.3 Final (13.12.2010)
+ Added better error messages if something is wrong with the config files.
+ Added support for loading UTF-8 files with BOM (not fully tested).
o Small updates to the readme files.

I have used your system in a long time now, and it works great.
But I have 1 little issue, that I would like to know, if that is possibul to make a fix of some sort.

Every Tuesday, I normally have the server shutdown.

So my question is: Is it possibul, to have the Bot, to send out a Chat-warning or something, to tell users, that the server shuts down.

For Example: server shutdown 30 min , Server Shutdown 15 min etc

Could be nice, if it was possibul.

Cheers
