Hi again. I have found a possible glitch that is causing the SIGNON bug for me and various other users. It seems that putting the @ sign as the first character (which is usually always there, followed by numbers) will cause the cyborg generator to load the default line instead. I tested this by making test scripts with and without the @ sign. With it, it gives the default (the problem), but without, it gives you what you typed. I suggest to you, X, to check the generator for any possible problems, because maybe it had something to do with that directory moving thing you mentioned or anything related to that.

ok..I went to your bot bot part and picked out all the scripts that I wanted..it went up to about 2kb....So I stick in my palace folder my old one in a different folder.....I rename it Cyborg.ipt..or whatever it is called....I go into my palace click reload scripts then I goto a room where scripts are on and paint is on...I type szap....It didn't work...I typed zap..still didn't work...I could paint...scripts were on...the only thing that worked was when i long on it goes It's.......
Whats the matter???????

You can't properly initialize a
BotBot cyborg by just hitting
"reload scripts" becuase of a subtle bug in the way palace
is made. "Reload scripts" might reload the script, but it doesn't
re-run the "signon" portion of the script -- which is where
BotBot borgs do all their initialization. The correct method
is to follow the instructions and log off from whatever palace
you're visiting and log on again.

A quick check of the BotBot logs show that you, alone,

simultaneously running BotBot without any such
problem. I've got to suspect your
browser. - *X

Hi again. I have found a loophole to get around that script problem I
mentioned earlier. By IE 4.0 SP1, that SP is Service Pack (trying to make it
easier to download updates). Anyway, this is the loophole, and it should be
able to work on IE v.4.0 and up (anything less will not come in contact with
this problem, I HAVE HAD v.3.0 and there were no problems). When you make your
script, and it DOES come up with the HTML, like the Doc said, it IS created.
It does not exist in your cache folder (Temp. Internet Files or whatever it is
called on your computer), so you have to save it (.txt works best). Then, open
Notepad. You notice everything is there. You try to save it, and all you get
is cyborg.txt.ipt (the .ipt is the true extension; the .txt, well, you know
that Windows allows periods in filenames, but that sometimes causes trouble
with extensions). This is what I got, and found the loophole around. Anyway,
copy the info from that "fake" cyborg (Select All, Copy), and then open the
"true" file (your actual cyborg.ipt) and Select all there, and delete it (DO
NOT CUT OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR COPIED INFO). Then Paste. You now have the
true one filled with the data you want. Just save it, it will correctly
overwrite the file. When you get the script loaded, you will have all of your
options that you selected. That's the loophole. BTW, X, your Login field at
the beginning of the script-creating page cannot be changed. I put data in
that field and it gave me the default instead (everything else remained,
though, just the Login field lost all new info). The finger script's data is
also incorrect. Please fix these errors after you have read this message.
Ragnarok
c==X====>
Ragnarok <WolfeDen3@americanteleport.com>
USA
A quick check here shows that the finger script works fine. Could you
be more specific, or provide an example?
A simpler workaround would probably be to avoid having the browser
do anything special for .txt or .ipt files, because they're
just plain text. Similarly, if you've already opened the file in
Notepad or any other text editor, why go through all these
shenanigans with deleting and pasting?
"Save As..." is always a convenient alternative.
It still sounds to me like your browser is
wonked upside its head. *X
Hello. Now that the problem with the guestbook that kept me from saying this important message is gone, I can say it.
The BotBot page works fine, with just one major problem. It makes it, it shows the HTML layout (as always), BUT, IT DOESN'T EXIST when I look for it. I even tried the Find option (Windows 95, IE 4.01 SP1) and I come up empty-handed. Do you have any idea what is causing this?
Ragnarok

Ragnarok <WolfeDen3@americanteleport.com>

If the browser shows it, then the data is being correctly calculated and

Jason <jacotton@up.net>
Calumet, Mi USA
They must also be using the dressup script -- that is, they must also
have it pre-installed in their own cyborg.ipt file(s). Yes, I would
consider this a "downside" to the dressup script. Using the
zombie mode
"dz" script in tandem
with allscray is usually a better bet.

Add numbered pics to the room, and have the door (which is

Heeelllppp!!! I am TRYING (underlined twice!) to teach myself
Iptscrae. I am very familiar with the type of language this
MAY be based after. (I think it is a cross between C++ and
Visual Basic -- then again maybe not?) Some of the commands
and language look familiar. HOWEVER, I need to know of some
way of obtaining the "built-in" standard commands of this 2+ year
old language; as well as a book or other literature on how to
manipulate this language to do other things instead of having
BotBot do it for me. In a nut shell is there a book or other
reading material that starts at the beginning and goes through all
the advanced commands? I have created scripts using BotBot, but I
like doing things the hard (learning) way! :) Any info would be
appreciated! Thankyou. :) Arctic C. Wolfe
Arctic C. Wolfe <arcticcwolfe@cyberzone.net>

Did you look at our own
house o bots? Other than that, I don't know of any.
As recounted here and elsewhere, Iptscrae is syntactically
related to FORTH and Postscript. C++? Surely you jest... iptscrae
wouldn't know an object method from an integer. VB is also much
more robust (never thought I'd catch myself using that adjective
about VB) and unrelated to Iptscrae, except I suppose that you
could consider iptscrae as a client-side script mechansim similar
to VBScript (which we all know should just quietly disappear
anyway).

My first response was to say "you can't." But I don't think that's

Hello. I seem to be having trouble with the "giveall" script. I type in the command and propname EXACTLY AS STATED ON THE BOTBOT PAGE(giveall <propname>), and all it does is say "giveall <propname>" in a talk balloon. However, I try the same trick with the same prop (it's name has not changed) using "give" and it works perfectly. I think you might want to check the BotBot script. BTW, other than finding a way to get the "give" series of scripts to only give the props and not say a talk balloon, could it also be possible to give just certain users props as well?

The script lets you specify the prop names, and the BotBot lets
you set a default prop name.

Hello, one small question. I fill out the screen and hit "build Cyborg.ipt" and I obtain an error stating that the program.bmp could not be found under the paint window. Do you have any ideas on why I cant download the .ipt file? Thanks for your help.

Sounds like you've configured your browser to recognize files

HELP! While puting props in an automated generator I was terminated. When I returned I no longer had the use of either macros or bookmarks. No one I ask has ever heard of such a thing... I have uninstalled, redownloaded the software, and then reinstalled to no avail. If you have any solutions I would be MORE than happy to hear from you.

You may have been killed by that server for flooding
if you were going through a lot of props (it's happened to
me, anyway). You may then have coincidentally crashed. Replacing
the prop file will usually solve such problems....

I would like to share my veiw on a topic and I would love to see how you look on this:
I am banned at a palace because I am part of the magus group. I understand I am banned mainly because of my constant defiance of the god, Mrs Gunn. Besides that, I seek input about whether or not you think that is right. No one can wear their ? (magus) infront of their names, and when I requested she explain why, she said she was to busy. I think that if I am going to be forced to hide my being in a HELPING group, I deserve a reason. I am now long term banned, but I do not regret my actions.

Hello X,
I wonder if you can help me on this one. I have seen this problem before on the palace Newsgroups
but no one was able to give a solution. So I dare ye! I want to give a prop to visitors in my personal palace. The prop is Unique and the name as well.
So when I want to give this prop with a roomscript it won't appear on the visitor because the visitor never saw the prop before.Once I have shown the prop to them the roomscript IS able to
give it to them. I tried hiding the props in a secret room so that the server MUST know what it looks like but alas.
What do YOU think the problem is?? BTW. I run a personalserver on a PC vers. 3.0.
M <Deadwood_Gulch@Hotmail.com>

Simple. Use the prop ID, not the prop name.
That's how p-spots work.

Hi! Great site you have here. It's the best Palace page I've seen. But I was wondering, where can I get the CGI script for the Botbot? I've been looking everywhere for a similar CGI script, because I help out with a non-profit webpage making service, and an edited version of that would be perfect for a make-you-own-webpage.
Thanks very much.

Thanks for the kind words...
The source to the BotBot is

I actually doubt very much
that it would do what you desire a ground-up rewrite to adapt the

just write what you want from scratch.

Dr.X
QSTN: Is it possible to have a guest or member banned/killed by a roomscript on a personal palace?
Before killing people you'd
like to give them the option to behave or leave. But to have this
conversation in a full room isn't always fun for other guests since
not all wizards are good with words. I designed a room where
faulmouthed guests can be transpported to where they are confronted
with the house rules. They are muted and the only thing they can do is
to PAGE the wizards and apologize, Leave through the door (if opened
by a wizard), or they can just leave. So in the ON LEAVE command I
have put the KILLUSER command. But it doesn't work, only when MMEMBERS
and CYBORGS CAN KILL is on. But I don't want a holocaust in my palace.
Can you help me out on this one?
Mel.
Mel <Personalmailbox@hotmail.com>
USA
KILLUSER is really for wizard use (as you've discovered)
the
only other useable application I've seen is in some Palace-based
games. Instead, why don't you give them a NETGOTO command
that sends them to someplace distasteful or better-equipped to
deal with twits?
I think you're trying to
get the software to do what software is rotten at making
social value judgements. And asking someone who's already a
demonstrated snert to make such a judgement about themselves is...
well, ill-advised.

just to add some more informations, there is what i've tried:

But in that script , it is just the user that enter in the 6th position who goes in the room 124, so i would like that everybody in the room goes in the room 124 when they are 6 in the gate. Thanks again.
Richard <miller.r@videotron.ca>
Quebec, Canada
The problem is that you've mistakenly thought that the
room script runs on the server 
it doesn't! It runs
on each of the individual users' machines, 6 (or however many)
independant parallel copies.
Instead,
trigger such a script on something that's genuinely
shared by all the people in the room typically INCHAT:
ON INCHAT {
{
{ 124 GOTOROOM } 240 ALARMEXEC
} NBRROOMUSERS 6 == IF
}
The use of ALARMEXEC is to minimize the effects of
lag.

Hi Dr. X, need your help, i'm working on a script but i have something wrong, and it doesn't work, maybe i don't understand quite well the commands, what i want to do is the following event, when the users are more than 6 peoples at the gate , they all move in another room , keeping the gate free to admit other users, and to be sure that the palace will be able to admit his full capacity. I've seen it one time on another palace , and it was working well. I've tried this with the IF command but anyway i know i got it wrong, it never worked.thank you for your help. Richard

I just tested "ap" and it worked perfectly.
If you had provided concrete information instead
of sarcasm, I might have been able to solve your problem.
- Basic "ap" use:
- Point where you want balloons to come from, and type
ap or ;ap
- Subsequent balloons will appear in the chosen location
unless preceded by "@" or "="
- To turn it off, type ;ap 0 0
There are plenty of other options which I leave for you to
find in the docs, and a few (like the
aforementioned "=" escape character) that you'll find in
folklore or the code.

No, it seems that there's some sort of routing or other DNS "burp"

"botzilla.com"... so I've swapped out all the links and replaced them

a slow process.
I'm not much of a fan of layered spots, and never use them. Not
because they're flaky in implementation (they may or may not be), but
simply because I like my interfaces to be less fuzzy. Sorry.

Is there a script that would send someone to a certain room, pin them there, and page the wizard at the same time, if a user swore or used obsene props?
Elisabeth
USA
Executive Summary: No.
Technical Detail: Scripts can do some things, but not everything.
- Send to Any Room: Yes.
- Pin Them: Only for wizards.
- Page the Wizards: Yes.
- Detect Swearing: Not well, since people can
play games with spelling. And what about
international users? TPI's mansion once
had a problem with such a script attempt when it was
realized that many Japanese verb forms end
in "-shite" and "-shita" (think about it).
This is really a part of one of the Great
Unsolved Problems of computer science
getting computers to understand human
language(s).
- Detect Obscene Props: Not really. How can the
script judge prop content? All the script
might be able to check would be the prop
ID #'s.

Adam Jenkins <ajenk@succeed.net>
Live Oak, CA USA
Thanks for the heads-up, found it a bug in Palace itself!
Tech Explanation:
It seems that the regular expression "^\.(.*)"
(match all strings beginning with a period) matches
everything when run through the Palace's version
of "grep." This is wrong, but fortunately there's a
workaround which I've already applied to the
BotBot. The characters "\." are replaced with
"[.]" and it now works perfectly.
Tue, 11 Nov 97 at 00:06:44
Hey X, I have a suggestion why the non-http compliant message thing might be happening. it is because at the end of your page address when you try to access the botbot thing it says botbot.pl so it makes the browser think it ain't html. Do yout hink you can make the end of the address botbot.html that should fix everything and the browsers wil
