Insane Limits V0.8/R2: Chat Message Spambot

Version V0.8/R2 (compiled and tested)

 

This example rotates through a list of chat messages intended to be spammed to a server chat box. Every fixed interval of time, e.g., every 15 minutes, the next message in the list is sent. At the end of the list the spammer starts over from the start of the list.

 

DUE TO A BUG IN INSANE LIMITS, THE INTERVAL MUST BE LESS THAN 120 SECONDS.

 

Set limit to evaluate OnIntervalServer. Set the interval to the delay time between each message in seconds, e.g., 900 (15 minutes). Set action to None.

 

Set first_check to this Code:

 

Code:

/* Version V0.8/R1 
Send one message from the list every interval seconds.
The interval is defined with the OnIntervalServer setting.
The list of messages is defined below. To add more messages,
just add more spam.Add("...") lines.
*/
List<String> spam = new List<String>();
spam.Add("*** Protected by PRoCon plugin: Insane Limits!");
spam.Add("Second message to send <- CHANGE ME!");
spam.Add("Third message to send <- CHANGE ME!");
spam.Add("Fourth message to send <- CHANGE ME!");
// add more messages here ...

String kSpamIndex = "SPAM_index";

int message = 0;
if (server.Data.issetInt(kSpamIndex)) message = server.Data.getInt(kSpamIndex);

// Start over at the beginning of the list if at the end
message = (message % spam.Count);

// Bookkeeping
DateTime sanityCheck = DateTime.Now;
String kSanityCheck = "SPAM_check";
// Check to make sure minutes weren't confused with seconds in interval setting
if (server.Data.issetObject(kSanityCheck)) {
	sanityCheck = (DateTime)server.Data.getObject(kSanityCheck);
	TimeSpan sane = DateTime.Now.Subtract(sanityCheck);
	if (sane.TotalMinutes < 5) {
		//plugin.ConsoleWarn("^b[Spambot]^n: Interval between messages must be at least 300 (5 minutes)!");
		//return false; // Until 0.8p3 bug fixed
	}
}
server.Data.setObject(kSanityCheck, DateTime.Now);
server.Data.setInt(kSpamIndex, message+1);

// Send message
plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
plugin.PRoConChat("ADMIN > " + spam[message]);

return false;

Leave second_check Disabled.

 

If you want to send multiple lines of messages instead of just one line, use the \n newline escape in the quoted string to separate lines, for example:

 

spam.Add("This one message has three lines.\nThis is the second line, indented.\nThis is the third line. Use sparingly!!");

 

UPDATES

 

R2 - commented out sanity check due to issue with 0.8p3 - Interval must be less than 120 seconds, as a work around

R1 - original version

Since you are doing this kind of sanity check, for next version, I think I will expose in the limit object all the properties that can be set through the UI.

 

So in this case you would just do:

 

Code:

int interval =  Int.Parse(limit.getField("evaluation_interval")) 
if (interval < 300)
{
  // warning about interval too small
  return false;
}

That would be totally awesome. Please add a limit.Id property too.

The easiest way to have one set of messages for 1-15 players and another for 16+ is to:

 

* Follow the steps in the OP, but instead of making one limit, make two.

 

* Instead of putting the code in first_check, put the code in second_check

 

* In first_check for the first limit (1-15), add this Expression:

 

Code:

( server.PlayerCount < 16 )

* In first_check of the second limit (16+), add this Expression:

 

Code:

( server.PlayerCount >= 16)

* Then customize the messages in the second_check of both limits as needed.

as for the messages, does it have a limit on how many characters it can handle per spam.Add? as i said in the main thread i would like the messages posted 3-5 times with the same message (not too long so i dont take up more then 1 line or else it goes to the 2nd line) but noticed if the sentence is too long the message doesnt get sent out.

Messages have to be less than 128 characters. I don't enforce that in the Limit, you have to count them up yourself.

 

If you know what message number you want the repeat message to be, you can make a simple change. Suppose you have this set of messages:

 

Code:

List<String> spam = new List<String>();
spam.Add("*** Protected by PRoCon plugin: Insane Limits!"); // message 1
spam.Add("Second message to send <- CHANGE ME!"); // message 2
spam.Add("Third message to send <- CHANGE ME!"); // message 3
spam.Add("Fourth message to send <- CHANGE ME!"); // message 4, etc.

Let's say you want message 2 to be repeated 3 times. Find this line of code in the first_check

 

Code:

plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);

Change it to this:

 

Code:

if ((message+1) == 2) { // We want to repeat message 2 three times
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
} else { // Just one time
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
}

If you also want to do message 4 six times, do this:

 

Code:

if ((message+1) == 2) { // We want to repeat message 2 three times
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
} else if ((message+1) == 4) { // We want to repeat message 4 six times
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
} else { // Just one time
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
}

And so on. Just add "if" or "else if" clauses for the message number and repeate the SendGlobalMessage line as many times as you want the message repeat.

You are right. Using 0.0.0.8 patch 3, if the interval is greater than 120 seconds, it never sends anything. I'll send micovery a PM to let him know there is a problem.

 

In the mean time, I've updated the code to R2 to remove the requirement for 300 seconds. You can set the interval to 110 seconds and it should be okay as a work around.

    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);

    plugin.SendGlobalMessage(spam[message]);
}

And so on. Just add "if" or "else if" clauses for the message number and repeate the SendGlobalMessage line as many times as you want the message repeat.

i think this should help fix the limit of 128 per message when using \n to go to the next line so a message is sent more then 1 time. that was 1 of my problems. if in 1 message the first line is a max of 40 letters to fit in the first line and doesnt go to the 2nd line, and if i wanted the message to show 3 times, 40x3 120 in a single spam.add message. now its just the 40 per spam.add message. hope it helps.

this isnt working for me either. it still sends 1 at a time for all

* Then customize the messages in the second_check of both limits as needed.

Could I make the messages player count and map specific?

 

So:

Code:

( server.PlayerCount < 16 ) && ( server.MapFileName == "MP_001||MP_012" )

Yes, but your syntax isn't quite right. You want this:

 

Code:

( server.PlayerCount < 16 && Regex.Match(server.MapFileName, @"(_:MP_001|MP_012)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success )

See my discussion of Regex.Match here: http://www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...ll=1#post44100*

Oh, sorry, I don't think that is possible. Your only choices are:

 

1) Create a message string that is less than 128 characters.

 

2) Send separate messages.

 

You can't make one message get added to the end of a previous message.

 

However, you can just build a single message string. For example, suppose you want to say three times:

 

"Stop using M320 or grenades, noobs!"

 

I think that is 36 charaters. The way you want it to look is like this in chat:

 

[ADMIN] Stop using M320 or grenades,

noobs! Stop using M320 or grenades,

noobs! Stop using M320 or grenades,

noobs!

 

All you have to do is this:

 

Code:

String phrase = "Stop using M320 or grenades, noobs! "; // Notice I added a space at the end
spam.Add(phrase + phrase + phrase);

No, sorry. I'd have to completely rewrite the example to work around the bug in Insane Limits. It's on my list, but I've got a lot of other things to do first. Like play R20!

You can't set the interval above 120, there's a bug.

 

I noticed that the Spambot plugin comes with the latest PRoCon update. Maybe just use that instead? It's going to be a long time, if ever, that I fix this.

Yes, use the Spambot plugin that comes with the latest update to PRoCon.

Code:

if (player.CountryCode, "(DE)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Success) {

    plugin.PRoConChat("ADMIN > " + spam[message]); }

    plugin.PRoConChat("ADMIN > " + spam[message]); }

That should work, if you don't set the interval higher than 60 seconds. Otherwise, you hit the interval reset bug in Insane Limits and you'll never see anything.

this should be in an interval of 60 seconds.

 

As soon there are 13 players on the server this message should stop.

 

But if there are 10 players again it should start from the beginning.

 

Thank u very much

Been a long time since I coded insane limits, but i know AdKats has a command for this if you're running that.
