[REQUEST] Quotation Database by Untitled.of.AH on 01-08-2009 at 10:26 PM
I am sure all of you scriptwriters are more than aware of the infamous /quote script that is used widely on mIRC.
Basically, is there any way somebody could make one for MSN? It would work just like the mIRC one. Somebody types in /quote <quote> it will quote a person. The quote is then written into a database, and can be accessed by something like /sayquote # or could even generate a random one, if no # is given.
I guess this a request, I hope I'm not going too far outside of the box...

Pleaser read What scripts can't do. I doubt that's possible I'm afraid 
. Haven't seen any scripts that connect to a database or anything like that.
Best you'll get is quotes that are built into the script, like the Street Fighter Quotes script.

I was trying to say something like that. It could even be a .txt file or something. What I meant by database, was basically the quotes would be written to a small text file, and then the script could access it to do whatever the command was.

It'd be more than possible, it doesn't have to be a hosted on a server guys, all you'd have to do is save the quotes to a file in the script folder, only problem with txt file I believe is it'll be messy and hard to distinguish between quotes and stuff, could probably make some sort of xml schema to work with it though.
^^ iirc anyway ;p

A .ini file would work just as well...
quote:
0001=This is a quote
0002=This is too
0003=And This
You search the file for the relevant numer, split at the next = sign and then split that at the next \n character.
Adding quotes would be just as easy. Find last line, find the number, increment it and append quote to a new line.
EDIT: We'll see how busy I am... We could add a call to a php script and have a global quote file

Trust the motivation of a man with a pimpin' avatar.
Work just gets done that way

Sounds like something I'd actually try doing. I can definitly host the quotes database (Spunky is using my server aready anyway )

Sounds good, I'll troll this post until it's done
Thanks for the hard work in advance, guys. I'd give you money if my pimp didn't take it all.
