 Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 3:46 pm Post subject: BogusTrivia issues |
 |
|
Hey All,
I've got an eggdrop bot set up currently, running multiple scripts with no issues. I'm trying to get BogusTrivia working, but no matter what I do, the t-2.tcl script can't locate the t-2.settings.tcl within the same directory.
From what I can see, it's calling for that file in the working directory of the main script (where it currently resides) but for some reason it can't find it.
Here's the error:
[11:32] Couldn't find the BogusTrivia settings file: /home/xxxx/eggdrop/scripts/t-2.settings.tcl
Any advice? I've applied all the correct permissions and whatnot.
Thanks! |

That is not a BogusTrivia issue that I've seen before.

Please try running BogusTrivia as the only scrip loaded on the bot.
This would rule out a possible script conflict.
What other scripts are you running on this bot?

Yes, the settings file must be in the same directory as the t-2.tcl
| Quote: | Here's the error:
[11:32] Couldn't find the BogusTrivia settings file: /home/xxxx/eggdrop/scripts/t-2.settings.tcl |
Is that the correct route to the script and settings file?

Thanks Spike,
I'll give it a shot. The other scripts that it's loading are a regex script, the !bomb game and a weather script.
And yes, the path is correct, it's calling for the settings in the same directory that the t-2.tcl resides in.
I'll give that a shot in a bit, it's very odd! |

Spike,
I just tried loading the bot with only t-2, and still got the same issue.
Here's the log:

[15:46] Couldn't find the BogusTrivia settings file: /home/xxxx/eggdrop/scripts/t-2.settings.tcl

Any other thoughts?

Seems to me more of a file permissions issue, than a BogusTrivia issue.
If the file is there and the eggdrop bot can't see it, there's little bogus can do.
Double check ALL of the directory permissions, for every directory in the route.

Will do. I'm heading home now, but I'll check it when I get back to work Monday.
Thanks again! |

You also need execute access to all parent directories back to the root. |

Hello sanchez
Just put t-2.tcl and t-2.settings.tcl to scripts folder and everything should be fine |

I'm having the same problem with my 1.6.21 eggy bot. Already put the setting file in the /scripts directory but the bot still couldn't find it.  |

I have a couple questions:
1. Is this your own machine and is it Ubuntu?
2. What are the file permissions on the bot folder and the scripts folder?
3. Have you edited the script in any way?
4. Are you calling the t-2 settings file?
5. Are you running a patched 1.6.21 bot?

Nope. I'm using a free shell account somewhere so I have no idea which Linux the owner uses for the machine.
| starr wrote: | | 2. What are the file permissions on the bot folder and the scripts folder? |
It should be the same permission required for the script since I already set the file permission exactly as stated in the BogusTrivia installation note. I'll double check later to confirm.
| starr wrote: | | 3. Have you edited the script in any way? |
Well, the setting file needs to be edited in order to work, right? So I did. If you're talking about the main script then no I don't.
| starr wrote: | | 4. Are you calling the t-2 settings file? |
Erm...I'm not sure whether I understand this question. Mind doing some clarification/rephrase?
| starr wrote: | | 5. Are you running a patched 1.6.21 bot? |
I just grabbed the eggdrop1.6.21.tar.gz from the eggdrop site and then compiled it. I'm not sure whether it's patched or not.
| Code: | | I am running eggdrop v1.6.21, on Linux 2.6.32-042stab084.17. |
Taken from the bot. Hopefully that helps.  |

This is referring to the source line(s) that you add to eggdrop.conf to load a script.
Show him all those lines, currently in eggdrop.conf, that have to do with BogusTrivia.

It is not patched then.
While you wait for starr to reply to you, you might as well check out:
http://www.egghelp.org/files.htm#patches
Find the patch described as:
timerworkaround.patch.gz by thommey
Read the description there, and follow the link in the description. It leads to a lengthy forum thread that should explain itself.
(This is not the cause of your current problem - but since patches came up, and you are waiting, you might as well check it out and become aware of what to do. ) |

I'll have to admit that I have no idea where this error is coming from.
It still seems more like a file permissions issue, than a BogusTrivia issue.
The script looks for it's settings file and is unable to find it, though you say it is clearly there.
If the file is there and the eggdrop bot can't see it, there's little bogus can do.
I would start by getting a real shell and all will be good.

I see. I tried calling the script but the problem still persisted.

Thank you. I will try to patch the bot later.  |

This is the code responsible for checking if the settings file is available: | Code: |
if {![file exists [set ttmp(temp) $t2(pwdpath)$t2(scrpath)t-2.settings.tcl]]} {
putlog "Couldn't find the BogusTrivia settings file: $t2(scrpath)t-2.settings.tcl"
putlog "\00310BogusTrivia\003 game script not loaded!" ; unset ttmp ; return }
source $ttmp(temp)
|
Try bypassing the file check by editing that part of the script file to be more like: | Code: |
#if {![file exists [set ttmp(temp) $t2(pwdpath)$t2(scrpath)t-2.settings.tcl]]} {
# putlog "Couldn't find the BogusTrivia settings file: $t2(scrpath)t-2.settings.tcl"
# putlog "\00310BogusTrivia\003 game script not loaded!" ; unset ttmp ; return }
#source $ttmp(temp)
|
Then source the settings file in the bot conf file, before the script file... | Code: |
source scripts/t-2.settings.tcl
source scripts/t-2.tcl
