rpgserv's Issues

Roll used during late hours

Discussing the issue with Azander in IRC produced the following conversation:

[04:36:28PM] <~Azander> if you reoll the dice in the hors between midnight and 4 am (server time) it rolls REALLY really low rolls
[04:36:35PM] <Keiro> Oh dear.
[04:36:48PM] <Keiro> That's odd, though... how'd you find that one?
[04:37:04PM] <~Azander> since my server is UTC, but my gamers are EST they notid it during their evening games
[04:37:20PM] <~Azander> but while testing I could not reproduce it (during early afternoon)
[04:37:20PM] <Keiro> Ah. That'd do it.
[04:37:44PM] <~Azander> so I sat in on some games, some during the day, others in the evening,  Then I saw the pattern.
[04:38:10PM] <Keiro> Ah... so you had to be there to notice it at all.
[04:38:10PM] <~Azander> The solution is to not use time_t as your random seed
[04:38:17PM] <~Azander> right

Solution is to do:

[04:44:59PM] <~Azander> just add" srand(time(NULL)); after decklaring your variables in each command
[04:45:12PM] <Keiro> Got it.
[04:45:17PM] * ~Azander went to look it up to get the code for you.. then saw I had that commented out

Using RPGServ Act causes Anope to crash

So, for example, if you wanted RPGServ to act out something for you in say, #tavern, you could do so via /msg rpgserv act #tavern welcomes a guard into the tavern with a smile and you'll get an output in #tavern of RPGServ doing its thing, similar to the below:

[04:28:16AM] <RPGServ> welcomes a guard into the tavern with a smile

However, the above only works if one uses /msg rpgserv say #channel somethingsomething or other instead of act without causing Services to crash.
