VoteBot 9000 Commands and Usage

However I think when you

Code:


[b]
hi
[/b]


I think it didn't work
It needed to be

Code:

[b]hi[/b]

Not sure how the code reads the posts..

The bot is coded to ignore whitespace such as extra lines, but it will not accept extra tags around the command (this prevents it from accepting commands that are in quotes) nor will it accept extra characters or commands inside the same bold tag (fixing this is on my todo list for the bot).

Works:

Code:

[b][hi][/b]

Code:

[b]
[hi]   [/b]

Code:

[b][hi][/b]
[b][hello again][/b]

Doesn't work:

Code:

[quote="Shadi"][b][hi][/b][/quote]

Code:

[b][hi]
[hello again][/b]

Code:

[b][hi] Shadi[/b]

what about [hi] with the bold around the size?

Considering it doesn't accept the fifth or sixth code, no, that won't work. I see that my idea would also fail which is kinda unfortunate. It would be nice to "hide" the commands using color and size tags. That said, I completely understand why it doesn't work.

Minor update:
I've got the proper abstractions in place and fixed most of the bugs that the change introduced in the old code. My next step is to start creating the code that will allow the bot to interface with this forum. Fall break means I'll have substantial time over Monday and Tuesday to do this, and I might have something we can start testing very soon.

You should so make [insult amy] a thing.

No you shouldn't.

Welp, I think that's all I can do here. Bot is officially in a beta stage. Everything should work. And by 'should work' I mean 'there WILL be bugs, I just haven't found them yet.'

I'll be setting up a mock thread in the games section where the bot has mod powers. This will let him delete his posts so he isn't so spammy. Let the playtesting begin!

Cracks knuckles Let's do this. [vote French]

Only mafia would crack their knuckles like that.

[vote Scept]

let's test this out. [vote DA] I'M JUST SEEING IF IT WORKS

Lets see what happens [vote Gam] .

Nale, you're not in the game according to it, so it might be a better idea to test that it properly ignores us first before trying size codes. As such,
[vote DA]
I know this next one will fail but I should try it anyway.
[in]
[vote Stalin]

Gonna test the real from the fake.

[vote scept]

[vote amy]

Yoshi. Pls.

Just for kicks, I'm gonna have the bot parse this thread one more time and see what the vote tally is. =P

In threads where he has editing powers, such as the mafia board, he'll edit posts with invalid commands with the reason they are invalid. For example:

So you'd have to say
[vote Stalincommander]

right?

[Unvote]

Is no lynch an option by default?
