Title: Universal %playername% field?
Post by: pharley on November 17, 2009, 09:57:35 AM
G'day,

Could someone adjust this syntax with the view to the file %playername% being the current in match player :

t repbotng vouch %playername%

Currently returns %playername% unknown, is ther a universal identifier for the Player Name field ?

Much Appreciated.

My recollection is that it is %Playername

Anything different to that will not work. The capital P being critical.  I dont recalll a second % at the end of the field.

It would kind of have to do with what Client you are using, wouldn't it?

I dont think so..%Playername is a fibs field - and it has to be sent by whichever client you are using in that format for Fibs to understand it.

Oh...but this was for repbot - which doesn't have a universal identifier - for repbotng - you need to use the actual playername...so t repbotng vouch diane...for example  ;)

No There is not.

In JavaFIBS you can define programmable buttons using these variables:

The tags and their functionality are you can use in the commands are:
%Player - This tag will be substitited by the currently selected person in the Players table when the command is sent to FIBS.
%Friend - This tag will be substituted by the currently selected person in the Friends table when the command is sent to FIBS.
%Villain - This tag will be substituted by the currently selected person in the Villains table when the command is sent to FIBS.
%Opponent - This tag will be substituted by your last played opponent in this session when the command is sent to FIBS.
%Inviter - This tag will be substituted by the selected inviter in the Invitation table when the command is sent to FIBS.


There may be other clients that have this feature too, I do not know.
