Yahoo Connection Problems that started on March 13

Postby matematiko » 15 Mar 2008 13:50

For some reason, to some people, in some areas of the world, even within the USA, the script is returning an undefine value for the variable $profilenumber. Then when the script tries to log you into the room, these people is receiving the next message:

:crasha Your request to log in to Yahoo! Games was denied
because we were unable to authenticate your user id.
:crasha

I have not created a fix yet to this problem because I dont know the root cause of the problem. But for those affected and interested I developed a workaround.

Replace these two lines:

Code: Select all
my $profilenumber=$1;
print "Done, your profile number is:$profilenumber.\n";


with this:

Code: Select all
my $profilenumber=$1;
if ($profilenumber eq '') {
     print "Unable to retrieve profile number.";
     my $xyz=0;
     until ($xyz eq '1') {
          print "Enter profile number(usually 1): ";
          $profilenumber=<STDIN>;
          chomp $profilenumber;
          if ($profilenumber eq '') {
               print "Blank profile number, try again.\n";
          }
          else     {
             $xyz=1;
         }
    }
}
else {
     print "Done, your profile number is:$profilenumber.\n";
}



If the profile number returned is defined, the script will continue as usual. If it is undefined, then the script will ask you to manually enter a profile number which is usually 1 when you are using the main ID, 2 for the first profile created(if created), 3 for the next one and so on. The profile number can only be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.

Thanks to dene for the information he gave me.

Good luck,

Also remember if your using the YaY.exe and are having the log in problem, you will need to install pearl and use the YaY.pl (and modify the script) instead, untill the exe version is updated on zozur's site here http://www.members.cox.net/zozur
