11:44.54Ingshtromhow do you use the lua_bot?
11:53.59Wildtideno idea
11:55.46Wildtidelua> print("Hello ")
11:55.47lua_botWildtide: Hello
11:55.58Wildtidelike that :)

12:08.34IngshtromWell that answered my question about scope!
12:08.39Wildtidehehe
12:08.53Wildtideyou never called foo() in your test, so the x=2 line was never executed
12:09.24IngshtromYeah, I realized that. >.<

15:24.10seebsagggh
15:24.19seebsThe rift forums are back to randomly rejecting posts that contain punctuation.
15:30.24Wildtidepunctuation is overrated ;)
15:33.08Wildtideactually, while you're here Seebs... how well would you say RP works in a game like Rift? i haven't really RP'd since I used to play D&D over IRC, and on the very brief occasions I tried it in LotRO (about 2 nights), and RIFT (about 10 mins!), it didn't seem to work all that well. Wondering whether to roll another toon on an RP server and give it a decent go
15:33.54seebsIt varies a lot from one player to another.  Trion hasn't been as good as they should be, MHO, about dealing with RP griefers, so the community's smaller than it might be.  I think they're improving now, though.
15:34.16seebsSome people do more formalized RP as a separate activity, others mostly just stay in character... Personal taste.
15:34.26seebsThis URL filter thing is so 1@#*!#ing maddening.
15:35.16seebsI'll have a post which is fine, but if I add any three or so words to it, it gets rejected.  Note that it is WAY smaller than the post limit.  It's just... trion has a web filter that is buggy or unreliable, and every so often you get attached to that filter, and then you have to randomly alter stuff until it goes through.
15:36.12seebsNo meaningful diagnostic, the rejections are mostly-random but appear tied to patterns of punctuation that a spectacularly stupid person might think were SQL injections, and so far as I know none of the community reps have been able to even find out what software it is, or where it's running.
15:37.01Wildtidethanks, i think i'll give it a go. i need a creative outlet :)
15:38.02Wildtidethat forum thing sounds a bit odd. have you got an example of something it's failing on? (just out of interest)
15:38.05seebsThere's an addon called Merisioux if you want to write up a backstory, description, etc. -- and then you can identify roleplayers.
15:38.17seebsI do, but it's longish -- several paragraphs anyway.
15:38.36seebsI did have one case where I had a single sentence that it wouldn't take where I used a logical n-dash (--).
15:38.47seebsIf I replaced it with a parenthetical, it was fine.
15:39.05Wildtideyep, i've seen Merisioux. haven't played with it yet as I haven't really given RP a fair go yet
15:39.51Wildtideheh, i wonder if -- triggers a SQL keyword alarm then (being a SQL comment)
15:41.08seebsI think it's something like that.
15:41.14seebsExcept that you can use it most of the time.
15:41.17Wildtidetempted to go and post "SELECT * FROM Account" now and see if that gets rejected :)
15:41.28seebsOn this one, it looks like the killer was some quoted text which had single quotes around words.
15:41.54seebsYou can use Preview Post to check stuff, it'll reject anything whatsoever.  It doesn't care what the operation is, if prohibited strings occur it blows up.
15:42.12seebsI frequently end up with two paragraphs such that I can have either in a post but not btoh.
15:42.13seebsboth.
15:43.38Wildtide"The requested URL was rejected" with: "'Hello' 'There'". odd :)
15:43.58seebsNice!
15:44.20seebsAnd the thing is, the post I was referring too worked fine.
15:45.16seebsInteresting.  Two single-quoted words, fine, two single-quoted words with double-quotes to either side, BOOM.
15:46.08Wildtideit's if you have "' in the string
15:46.23seebsExcept that the test post that was blowing it up for me didn't.
15:46.53Wildtidewell, "' is one thing that'll kill it I guess. there's bound to be more
15:46.53seebsIt had a double-quoted word, then a [quote][/quote] block which contained a couple of single-quoted words, then another double-quoted word somewhat later.
15:46.57seebsYeah.

17:21.04Baananohi all
18:24.02Nosheianyone know if there are plans to make the character portrait available to us?
18:28.18Baananono idea, but I think that won't be easy to do
18:29.58Baananodoes anyone know the irc command to list the channels some nick is in?
18:30.22Nosheishould be pretty simple I would think, just make it a UI object that addons can call to display
18:32.45Baananoaddons interaction with the native ui is pretty limited, I think they aren't compatible enough
18:41.52Nosheido /whois <usernick> and the channels they are in will be in there
18:44.45Baananothank you noshei
18:44.57Nosheinp
19:22.51Nosheiguess it is already in the API as UI.Native.PortraitPlayer
19:23.52Baananobut you can't do anything with it, only anchor frames there :(
19:24.37Nosheiah, dang
