Trying to generate a multiple bot :P #15

Hey guys

just running 2 Whatsapp Bots.

My goal:

-> Both bots are in the same group -> Both bots are in the same IRC channel -> Generating a "spam" each other, to test whatsapp's anti-spam protection.

The problem is:

Every message, the message gets larger:

Hi next message Hi and contiunleys: thats bad! It just should send "hi" :) What to edit in the .py scripts?

What you are seeing is the expected behaviour, the bot is simply quoting the other participants.

If you want to remove the quoting (i.e. leave quoted texts verbatim), edit bot.py, look for strings that contain <%s> in them (which is the prefixed to each message), and remove it.

alright, i removed all <%s> but now the bot cant catch or handle any messages. what lines do i have to remove excatley for this:

But text should be visible.

Uploaded a image for the original bot.py

It should be like this: http://www.capsload.it/images/1390914347.png (unlimited, because just the text is catched + sent)

Remove all strings that say <%s>. You must of course adapt the formatting parameters.

This is basic python, you need to learn python in order to be able to correctly modify the python code of the bot. http://www.diveintopython.net/native_data_types/formatting_strings.html

I dont get it :(.

Could you upload a bot.py without the Nicknames?

Its really important. I tried it since 6 hours. Always getting some kinds of errors.

@capsload you replied to my comment not even 5 minutes after reading it. Unfortunately I don't have the time to teach random Internet peoples how to program ;-)

Please, at least check the link I kindly provided in my previous comment. If you still have problems after that, search the web for more information about python, or ask at any programming/python forum.
