[v.1.9.0] Message Rotation stops after a while

[carca55gr1nd3r]

Not sure if it just me but by use of v.1.9.0 the rotation message stops after a some days.

some settings I use:

• change the parameter rules_frequency to 30
• add some to the commentar at settings.conf to this parameter: ; Interval in seconds between each rule / rotation message Default: 90

The behaviour can be fixed by restart of the bot

"Server response timed out" means, that the bot was not able to communicate via RCON with the game engine. Are commands in the game running? I guess any kind of command should not work, since the exception occurs for 'rcon "%s" %s"'.

[alexanderkress]

Can you confirm, that the problem occurs for all rotation messages? According to the log, RCON connection was just for one command on the entire day a problem. With your config, at least 2880 connections will be established per day, and only 1 issue occurred...

[carca55gr1nd3r]

I have used not all cmd but the cmd I used worked proper. Just remember some I have tried: !version, !nextmap, !restart, !lookup. And the bot announced also the welcome msg after connection to the server.

just the rotation messages from rule.conf was missed same time at the server, far beoynd the configured timer of 30 sec.

[alexanderkress]

Ok, so the bot is still running fine. Looks like an invalid config in settings.conf.

Please check the file "devel.log" in /home/urt/spunkybot-1.9.0 check at the end of the file if for the last start the line "Load rotating messages: OK" is shown. Additionally I would a screenshot of the file settings.conf or the file itself, but dont forget to replace your rconpassword before providing this file !!!! I just need the part below "[rules]" All other config options are not required.

On my server I am running rules_frequency = 150 without any problem.

Okay so here we are:

and here the part of settings.conf:

`[rules]
show_rules = 1 ; Enable (1) or disable (0) displaying rules / rotation messages

I am not sure if that belongs together I noted on my server log following msg spams:

"Info string length exceeded"

Also a msg comes up by try to connect: Couldn't find weapon 106 just restart has fix it... but spunkybot issue stays.

now the issue is up. you can see by connect to : 134.255.231.30:27960

There is hopefully not that character `[rules] in front of [rules] or ??

Please send me following Linux shell outputs:

$ ls -ahl /home/urt/spunkybot-1.9.0

$ ls -ahl /home/urt/spunkybot-1.9.0/conf

$ cat /home/urt/spunkybot-1.9.0/conf/rules.conf

The "Info string length exceeded" message is a problem in your UrbanTerror server config and has nothing to do with Spunky Bot. http://www.urbanterror.info/forums/topic/34760-42-431-server-upgrade-info-string-length-exceeded-flood/page__pid__368997#entry368997

: No want to have it as "insert code" that the tag here at github, for any reason it do not work at here. ------ Outputs:  ------ The "Info string length exceeded" message is a problem in your UrbanTerror server config and has nothing to do with Spunky Bot. : I know, just wana give all possible info, maybe it was linked together.

Hmm... I am not able to see any problem, looks all fine.... I will provide a debug-version for you which you can run to see where the problem is located...
