Title: Item: Jeeves The Butler
Post by: stephen1133 on March 12, 2007, 02:54:22 am
This is Jeeves the Butler.  Once installed he will work for a limited amount of times before going on strike. You will then have to buy credits to get him working again. When working you request an item and give other information and he will follow your request.

This is fully packaged and (hopefully) ready to go!

DOWNLOAD HERE! (http://download.net3000.co.uk/JTB.html)

Thanks to Matthew_Gall2005 for helping me package and point out some errors

Please comment as this is my first MOD and I am a PHP newbie...:P

All comments will either result in fixes to my coding or additions to later versions.

Any security flaws please either PM me or E-Mail me.  Thanks.

UPDATE: Link now goes to new version (old page was lost when site crashed...:()

Title: Re: Item: Jeeves The Butler
Post by: stephen1133 on March 13, 2007, 04:59:08 pm
Probably the main change I'm trying to intergrate is random responses - or even an internal dictionary so if he recognises certain words he does something completely different...:D

Exact reason why i'm not installing it, just the name isn't enough for me. i need to know what it actually does.... this whole thread doesn't explain much at all.

Anyone care to explain in english what this actually does? "he goes on strike after working" what the hell? what does he do for "work?"
Title: Re: Item: Jeeves The Butler
Post by: Matthew Gall on May 06, 2007, 06:19:30 pm
Sorry Joshsuxx,
I Still Apologise About The Image Host As I Have Been Proccupied With Other "Dutes". This Will Be Sorted By The End Of Today. Now To Answer Your Question,

Jeeves The Butler Is A Shop Item That Tries To "Emulate" A Butler, You Request What Item You Want, How Many You Want And How Fast You Want It. Jeeves Will Then Go Off And Get That Item. However, Jeeves Will Only Work For So Long Before He Decides That He Has Had Enough. You Then Effectively Give "Jeeves" A Pay Rise By Buying A Top Up Item That Will Renew Jeeves Contract For An Admin Specified Number Of Uses. You Must Remember That Once Jeeves Goes On Strike - THERE IS NO WAY TO GET HIM TO WORK (Even If You Buy A New One!)

Jeeves The Butler Mod Is Installed By The Packages Mod And Will Add 2 Items To The SMF Shop "items" Directory
*- Jeeves The Butler Himself
*- The Top Up Item

Once Again - I Apologise For The Absence Of Images And I Hope This Will Answer Your Question Joshsuxx - Any More Information Needed I Will Be Happy To Answer Them
Title: Re: Item: Jeeves The Butler
Post by: Joshsuxx on May 06, 2007, 09:23:37 pm
that sounds pretty awesome mate, i still have a couple of questions though:

What items does he get? as in why would i pay a bot to get me items, when it only takes me 10 - 20 seconds to get them myself? what type of items does he get? 

is this just something like a little "fun" type item just for lazy people ? can you give me some like ways you could use him? and why i or my members may like it? thanks alot mate!

And i don't mind about the images, it's not what it looks like for me, it's what it does.

Hi, I Still Apologise About The Problems With The Image Host (Imagefuse Suckz). Now The Answer To Your Questions. Me And Stephen1133 Are Rather PHP Newbies With Me Only Being Into PHP For Years And Only Limited Use Of SMF. So We Were Unable To Make The "Bot" As You So Cunningly Put It Actually Retreive The Items (This Will Be Coming In A Later Version, We Are Concentrating On Other Responsibilities, Mainly GCSE Exams)

Primarily, Jeeves The Butler Is A Very Comical Joke Script With Quite Amusing Responses To Questions.

For The Use You Want, I Would Advise That You Waited Until The Next Version As This Will Give You The Features That You Want.

Any More Questions Please Do Not Hesitate To Contact Me By Personal Message Or By E-Mail matthewgall2005@gmail.com Or Stephen1133 By Personal Message

Post by: Joshsuxx on May 28, 2007, 07:43:50 pm
Why isn't this just a php file like most other mods? why do i have to use the package manager? it keeps erroring when i do,

got it working, but get this when you use the item:

Unknown column 'totalUses' in 'field list'
File: /home/joshua/domains/sneakyshits.com/public_html/Sources/shop/items/jeeves2.php
Line: 64
Title: Re: Item: Jeeves The Butler
Post by: Matthew Gall on May 29, 2007, 11:55:46 pm
Jeeves The Butler Is Not Just A PHP File Like Ordinary Items - It Adds 2 More Fields (Rows) To The Member Tables On SMF. This Is For Jeeves To Work Out When The Strike Will Happen And How Many Uses Are Needed Before The Top Up Item Is Needed.

I like this item. I think it's a cool thing to have and hope you continue to work on it.

It would be cool to get random respones from him.

It would also be cool if the admin could specify the kind of items he can make from already existing items in the shop. Then show if he makes it successfully or not.

Anyways, nice mod. I intend to use it.

Right, here is the current version hosted on MediaFire, as a note, please do not mirror this anywhere else without the expressed permission of either myself or stephen1133 (as the original developers)

Jeeves the Butler v1.01
http://www.mediafire.com/?znbm50ypfvq (http://www.mediafire.com/?znbm50ypfvq)

As previously noted, I have been busy and will endevour to return shortly with Jeeves the Butler v1.0.2 which will feature random responses and individual butler naming :D

Update
I have mirrored all releases, in the offical distribution channel on MediaFire, which can be visited at http://www.mediafire.com/jeeves (http://www.mediafire.com/jeeves). I also hope to have a SVN set up soon so that others may contribute with ideas, suggestions and code snippits :D

Update 2
Jeeves the Butler v1.0.2 has now been completed and will be released shortly, unfortunately, this version will now only include random responses (as requested by a few users) and the inclusion of a locale language file to aid in translation of Jeeves responses. Jeeves the Butler v1.0.3 will hopefully be completed soon with the added feature of individual butler naming which has been requested by users.

I thank all those who were patient and I apologise for the 3 month wait and dead links that users have been experiencing recently.

@steve51184

Unfortunately this was built on the legacy SMF 1.x core and so hasn't been written for SMF 2.x. I'm in the process of re-writing the code to allow it's use on SMF 2.x

@kreator

The only files that need to be writeable are:

Sources/shop/jeeves2.php (Jeeves himself)
Sources/shop/jeevestu2.php (Jeeves contract extension tool)
Sources/shop/lang/jeeves.locale.en.php (His language file, makes for easy editing)
