Feature Request: ?ignoregift

[rootbear75]

Is there a way you can add something to prevent someone from sending you money?

 

I ignored someone earlier today, and they are getting around it by sending me $100, with a extremely foul message.

[Dr Brain]

Do you want to stop the transfer, or just suppress the message?

[rootbear75]

Suppress message more, but i also sometimes get a certain amount of money (Ex: $1337, or $8008, etc) that i want to keep :/

 

... i just dont want the message.

Can the server know that player A is ignored by player B? I doubt it... but if it was the case it would be quite easy to filter out the ?give messages

[rootbear75]

or just make a command ?ignoregift -s -a (-s switch if you just want to suppress messages, -a if you want to ignore ALL gifts) that is separate from ?ignore... Edited March 17, 2010 by rootbear75

It wouldn't hurt to bump up the minimum give a little bit because $100 is about as easy to throw around at a certain point as $1 would be at any point.

Or just encourage them to keep on giving you monies so they will get bored and stop sending you them at all.

Why not just have a toggle command to allow/disallow messages from ?give?

 

?givemsg or something, just make sure it saves this option so players don't have to type it each time.

[Samapico]

Or send the message as a private message, i.e. fake a message from the player

 

Joe Blow has sent you 100$. Attached to the package was the following note:

Joe Blow> HEY DOOD STOP IGNORING ME MAAAN

 

So if you have Joe Blow on ?ignore, your client will discard the note

 

 

And yeah, upping to 1k-5k the lower limit would certainly help

[Kilo]

Shouldn't be too difficult to shape it into a PM, too. The fun part is breaking bots that use ?give message. Oh well!

[»Ceiu]

Not to worry, it'd just be a simple regex change. This is assuming, of course, they're using regular expressions in the first place. If not, they deserve whatever hell you give them with the update.

 

Edit:

Really, do we even NEED the message? It makes sense on a grant for documentation purposes, but with ?give it seems that it's just there to be abused. Why not just remove it all together and if they really really want to send a message with it, let them use a PM.

[Samapico]

If you had a way to see a log of everything you were ?given , and everything you ?gave, the message would be useful, other than that, not so much.

[Kilo]

Cer: private message = separate event. Not so simple as changing a regex.

[»Ceiu]

Not really. The original give is still received as an arena message and it still needs to be parsed to determine how much money you received. All you have to do is update the regex to work with the new format you go with (if you change it at all). The message was just extra junk at the end. But thanks for playing.

 

In any event, relying on the message with a ?give is hack at best. Typos happen and people often forget to include it. The bot then has to either give the money back or take the money and laugh at the user. Neither being a very good solution.

[Kilo]

The counting money part isn't the part I was talking about, it was the processing the message part, but thanks for playing. Why on earth would we change what ?give x does? We are talking about ?give x y changing.

[»Ceiu]

The better question would be something along the lines of "how aren't you seeing the difference?"

 

If a bot is already doing it right in that it accepts money to put into a player's account and then processes commands to do stuff with it, your change will likely do nothing but, at worst, force a regex change on the part which determines the amount given.

 

However, if the bot is (a) not using a regex and ( requiring the message along with the ?give in the current format, these changes will completely fuck the bot. From here you can refer to my first statement on the matter, then ask yourself why you needed me to be this specific for such a throw-away comment.

[BDwinsAlt]

+1 Ceiu

-2^999 Arnk

 

Why not just toggle messages at the end all together, or learn to get over idiots who bypass ?ignore (root quit being a pu**y)

[»Ceiu]

The next post is automatically wrong.

 

Edit:

BD, you realize that your value for Arnk overflows a few (hundred) times and probably gives him points, rather than taking them away. Thanks for playing, though.

( is all I've ever been saying all along...it's kind of obvious since we have been talking about ?give x y here not ?give x, LIKE I SAID. Since a Private Message is decidedly not going to be part of the arena message announcing money has been given to the bot, this BREAKS it. And fixing your regex does not fix it. Using a regex does not fix it. You would have to fundamentally change how you accept and do things with money because it's two separate events, not one. KIND OF LIKE YOU SAID. No one was ever talking about changing what ?give x displayed, LET ALONE breaking bots ability to determine how much money was obtained!

 

The counting money part isn't the part I was talking about, it was the processing the message part, but thanks for playing. Why on earth would we change what ?give x does? We are talking about ?give x y changing.

Your second last sentence basically entirely summed up what I have been saying all along, really. Ask yourself why you needed to defend something I wasn't even questioning.

 

 

 

P.S. I challenge BDWinsAlt to score an e-peen point on me without being a vulture scavenging off of misunderstandings. I also preemptively accept any challenge to fisticuffs by him, but he's probably too cowardly to do that.

Too bad your post is wrong...

[Kilo]

That would be true, except that the post 3 up is automatically wrong.

 

Edit: Except for the edited part.

I'm not sure what this is trying to say, but to stay on topic and stop future trolling...

 

The simplest way to go about this is to either toggle messages all together or just forget root whined about this.

 

@Arnky, duel irl?

[JoWie]

There are bots which use the message part to accept multiple commands.

?give 1000 blackjack ?give 1000 coinflip etc

 

So that would not be a simple regexp change.

/^Player (.+?) gave you \$(\d+)\.(?: Message: \"(.+)\")?$/

 

Also, it would be very useful to change it to SendCmdMessage instead of SendArenaMessage

If you look at the internal code, you'll see that they end up as the same outgoing packet.
