I am sorry, I did not asked the question correctly.

What script are you using? The original YtoICS.pl? or STUCI or YaY? And what version?


Looks to me that your bot stands up either because you are not the host of the table or that particular script was writting to stand up instead of booting.

Yes, this will almost certainly be because the id your program is using is not the host of the table. Make sure ur program is the host of the table for autoboot to work.

if the prog is table host and autoboot is set, what happens if someone whose rating is ok sits and doesnt click start....is there a way to boot that person ?

[dene]

If you want this to happen auto.....

You would have to modify and add to your YtoICS/YaY script so it will autoboot anyone who sits at your table but doesnt click start in a certain amount of time , like say 30 seconds for example.

I dont have a working script for this here, but I have a feeling another forum member might .........

Hi all,

A modification like this is not easy to implement. First you have to start a timer when the both seats are taken and/or when the game finishes.You also have to stop the timer when the game starts or when someone stands up. And finaly you need to add the logic to boot the opponent for not starting. My suggestion is not to make this timer less than 45 seconds because sometimes the opponent is tweaking the engine/book parameters and 45 seconds is barely enough time.

This my sound rude but I have to say it. Some members had asked me(via private message) to modify the scripts for them. In one hand I really like to help people but in the other hand, I do not have the time for this. I do not mind answering questions or guiding new perl programmers but please do not ask me to modify your script. Besides, where is the fun or sense of acomplishment is someone else hands you everything in a silver plate?

Please let me know if you have any further questions,

Cheers,
