Me too.

Did any one give this thing a shot or was it too high level for you ppl to run a script? Lol

[yns]

all in one file

I saw this and then decided against doing anything with it.

[divine]

I need to focus on some other things now. No one has been using it anyways. I'll refactor it eventually but not for a while

[ironstove.]

God you lazy boy. I'll do it then.

It's only got like 15 methods at most lol

[ironstove.]

I need to update the repo with some code changes.

Changes:
-Fixed an issue with the bot not being able to deal with multiple bold tags within the OP post to read the playerlist
-Fixed the initialization function to deal with cases where the thread has just opened i.e. less than 4 pages (No 'lastpage' element was being created within the thread which caused the bot to fail. The workaround was to start the bot once 4+ pages have been created, which was working fine because people were not getting lynched by page 3).

[ironstove.]

On another note, I'm in the thought process of implementing a few features on the bot:

ISO command - Player types something like ISO ironstove and the bot collects every post made by the player in the game thread and creates a post placing each one in 'quotes'.

Example:

Requested ISO generated for Ironstove.

Last indexed post is #2 of Game Thread: Testing Mafia #1

This is my reply to your post.

I'm thinking there should be an 'ISO dump thread' in the mafia forum for the bot to throw all of this content in there and the bot can or can not reply back within the game thread to reference the creation of the ISO.

I've also discovered this bot is pretty difficult to run LOL. Not a straightforward double click a file and gracefully execute. I'm begun to restructure all of the code... It's still a mess...


Events:
I was thinking about adding notable events to the [b]votecount[b] command, but I'm not sure if this is would be interfering with the game.... Also rerunning the bot from a blank slate would recycle the events summary and make a giant ass post in a huge game... Unless I just referenced the last actions of a player taken. Hmm. Anyway, just shower thoughts.

Here's my proposed restructuring of the code.

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but my hope is that it will be a little more organized and readable after the changes.

Currently all of the functions are bundled and mixed around 1 file, so I'm hoping to categorize the functions into different classes and move the classes to a separate library that I'll import in the main function.

The main will do the usual looping and operate as usual.

I mean this looks fine, iirc my complaint was that the code was very hard to follow in the main thing you're talking about.

[divine]

Maybe you should check out transitions and put it to use there

I couldn't find anything on google regarding 'transitions' for coding. Can you link me?

[divine]

I was talking about the state machine library for python

[ironstove.]

Ok, I see what you mean now when you say you had trouble following the code.

[divine]

I'm sorry I didn't help more when you first made this post, I can't help much now but it would be fun to get this project to the point where people with no tech chops can spin it up so that hosting becomes less of a responsibility for the host in question.

@ewiz fsm sounds like a really good fit for this kind of project right?

[yns]

If you want, it'd work. There's a shitload of different ways you could do this stuff

[divine]

It'd be better than what I remember the codebase looking like

[yns]

Why's it in Python?

[ironstove.]

Because python is a great language?
