Bot return

[pepp5]

2:40am west coast time. 

Player name:  " C:>format D: "

panjobot again. 370 to 415 ping, runs around shooting nothing, echoing people's names with dumb sayings.

I tried to signal wallfly about it.  I would love to kick/ban this ip block when I see it like I used to, but I cannot do that now.

Adding to this, some interesting insight into this bot's code from it messing up:

C:>format G was popped by 12345's grenade
C:>format G: SayMessage(RandomRowFromFile(messagesFilePath))
C:>format G changed name to C:>format D
C:>format D: C:>forma, SayMessage(RandomRowFromFile(messagesFilePath)) LOL
12345 was popped by E.U.G.E.N.E.'s grenade
C:>format D was railed by [NV]z00m x 1
[NV]z00m x 1 was squished.

Specifically this line:

Code: [Select]

C:>format D: C:>forma, SayMessage(RandomRowFromFile(messagesFilePath)) LOL :D
And narrowed down to the function or command calls:

Code: [Select]

SayMessage(RandomRowFromFile(messagesFilePath))

Why not? what did you do to lose that ability?

Quadz changed the lrcon password a couple times and updated me each time, but then the bot was starting to fade away, and he changed it again and I guess he didn't feel the need to update me on it again. I'm sure he would have given me the new password again, if the bot were to return agressively.  It was taking a long break....

Thanks Pepp. It's been dealt with again this morning. That log is interesting, guess even bots have bad days.

Well if quadz trusted you then just ask the other people quadz appointed for the new password.

See my other post titled "ADMIN", it's not like I wasn't trying to figure out who to talk to, and it's not like I wasn't giving a bunch of hints in a variety of methods, along the lines of what you suggested.  "The other people" was a very unknown thing for a long time.  (And still somewhat is, although getting better.  Thanks shloo!)
