I've managed to install everything needed for b3 to work, and it seems to connect ot the game via rcon perfectly fine. However, none of the console commands work. I tried the initial command for it to recognise me as the super admin (!iamgod), and I can't get any reaction out of it. I have tried normal say, team_say, and just typed in the console, still nothing. The mysql db hasn't changed with exception to one client being added as "WORLD". Has anyone else had these issues?

here is my b3.xml: http://pastebin.com/5Ch79eBk
my b3.log: http://pastebin.com/LkihwA66

I'd appreciate if anybody could help... PS is there a IRC support channel for b3?

disable all plugins but the admin plugin and restart the bot.

If it works fine, then add the plugins you want one by one, restarting the bot each time until you find the culprit.

Here's your config with just the admin plugin : http://pastebin.com/index/5Ch79eBk

Also, are you sure that this is where the game log file is created? Because the log doesn't show any record of b3 reading any lines from it.

<set name="game_log">/Users/loco/Library/Application Support/Call of Duty 4/games_mp.log</set>

If the file exists, delete it and see if the game recreates it here. If it does check that it has a record of you typing !iamgod in it.

Thank you for the fast responses. The game definitely posts into the games_mp.log I have listed, as you can see here: http://pastebin.com/6db45Vq8
here is the new b3.log: http://pastebin.com/MzY30kFW
at18:08:48 I closed the bot.

One thing that I did notice in the log above was that it loads the admin plugin at line 18, and at line 20 the admin plugin quits?? That doesn't look right, is that part of the normal process?

But yeah, it still doesn't recognise any of the attempts I made, as you can see in the games_mp.log. Would you have any more ideas on what could be wrong? I have disabled all plugins in the b3.xml, except the admin plugin.

[Courgette]

don't worry about line 20 as it just means that the admin plugin is interested in getting notified of any "Stop Process" event.

Regarding your issue, could you type the following command in a new shell and to make sure log gets written live :

Code:

tail -f "/Users/loco/Library/Application Support/Call of Duty 4/games_mp.log"

Just tried it, the log shows that I've connected, and immediately shows any messages I send as soon as I send them:

Could it be that your parser is having issues with my mp.log? I'm doing this on Mac OS X (hence the strange mp.log location).

[Courgette]

oh mac.... I remember something about mac. There must be a topic hidden somewhere that says how to hack a few lines of code to make it work.


Found it ! see http://forum.bigbrotherbot.net/installation-support/b3-still-not-responding/msg24275/#msg24275

I've just been playing around with the readlines fix, and sadly it doesn't make any difference:
http://pastebin.com/uwWNEs2z

What intrigues me, I remember earlier today I saw a line in the b3.log where it recognised that I connected, it actually recognised a new connection! Could it be that the Mac version of COD4 logs slightly differently to the linux and windows versions, and that the (cod4 specific) parser just needs adjusting? Here is my games_mp.log: http://pastebin.com/A9N4c9sQ

Also, i noticed that the people in the thread you linked to tested the parsing problem with a file python 8893.py, is this file available for me to test with?

[Courgette]

from your logs, the problem seems to be that B3 does not detect new lines in your game log.
Unfortunately we have no experience with mac and sadly mac users are kind of left alone with their issues as very few people would be able to reproduce.
You might need to adujst the B3 code but I cannot tell for sure nor can I tell what

regarding 8893.py : http://bugs.python.org/issue8893

[loco]

yep, neither of them seem to giving me an output:

Code:

sh-3.2# python test.py
read     :  []
readlines:  []
readline :

I might try recompiling python manually later with the patch I found on that thread, I'll see what I can come up with it.

in the end it doesn't really matter as long as it'll work fine when I run it on a linux server. I was just hoping to test and fully set this up prior to getting the actual server ready etc. Thank you for all the help! I'll let you know if I find a solution.

[Courgette]

may I suggest that you run a linux system on a virtual machine to try it at home ?

You can also try Python 2.7.2. Maybe there were some bugfixes related to the problem since 2.6.1
