Python XChat Play Bot (Page 1 of 3)

Just tried this on x-chat aqua the mac version of x-chat and it fails to load.

  File "/Users/leonbeech/Downloads/playbot_v1.py", line 123
      except urllib2.URLError as detail:
                               ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  Error loading module /Users/leonbeech/Downloads/playbot_v1.py

It now appears in the plugin list but how am I meant use it.

I have tried /login name password

But that comes up with an error.

Which version of python do you recommend using 2.7 or 3.2

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Users/leonbeech/Downloads/playbot_v1-1.py", line 71, in login
      usecommand("login {0} {1}".format(name, pswd) )
  AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'format'

The bot does work.  The only real problem is it doesn't calculate the bestfights correctly, it doesn't account for hero and alignment in the calculations and thinks everybody is aligned human with no hero.

http://idlerpg.org/minimal/players.php

Is a player table with alignment and hero on it which shows how it can alter your final item score.

Human = 0 adjustment
priest = +10% adjustment
undead = -10% adjustment

Hero depending on what level it is can be +2% to +11% onto your score.

I have tested the update and the bets are not being calculated correctly now.  All bets should be calculated on an human alignment and no hero basis.  So you would need to use 2 different lists, 1 adjusted for fights and 1 normal for bets.

The bestfight is broken now giving high item score players.

This is my fix for the bestfight/bestbet.  It is not pretty but it works.

3 problems with the script at the moment are:

Level up timer,  This is doesn't always work, 1 of the causes is fighting a random star which has a fixed time off per level which can cause you to level up before any level up timer is issued.  So it needs to be able to detect if fights and bets are less than 5 to do it elsewhere.  Fights can also be effected if you drop a level which will reset your fights to 0.  Also if you win the Champions League tournament your bets will be reset to 0

The other problem is due to a bug in the gamebot which will log you out if it leaves the channel and doesn't log you back in when it returns.  So the script needs to be able to detect if you are offline to relog you back in.

I have tried adding these myself but due to lack of knowledge of python it always fails.

The next problem is if website data is not fully downloaded and only part of the data is downloaded the script will die.

Log back in if not online fails

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Users/leonbeech/Downloads/playbot_v3.py", line 152, in main
      login(None)
  TypeError: login() takes exactly 3 arguments (1 given)

The easiest way to test log back in if not online is to logout and wait for the interval to come.

The partial read from website causes the script to quit.  This is the error which comes up from my own modified version of your script.

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Users/leonbeech/Downloads/playbot_v1-21.py", line 170, in main
      rawplayers3 = text.read()

      raise IncompleteRead(''.join(s), amt)
  httplib.IncompleteRead: IncompleteRead(1957 bytes read, 6180 more expected)

I'm trying a fix for it, I will post it if it works.

I've fixed this problem
