Re: Are BOTS legal?

Something named "Door"  is swamping my chat window with error messages.  In
sets of 8 spaced a second apart, repeated about every 15 secods.
Message is:-
Door: The door prim has not been configured yet. Please read the usage
instructions in the door script.
I can't find the offender.
It is an IM, presumably being sent to llGetOwner() but could also be
directed to land owner from something I don't own.
I can locate it within about 100m by finding places where the text changes
to a less bright.
I can't mute it.
I have an in-world object snooper but so far it has not found it.
99% of the items on my sim were made by myself and I can't think of any
other objects that would have a door requiring configuration.
The text "Please read the usage instructions in the door script." indicates
it is an acquired/introduced object.  May not be owned by me.

Any suggestions?

Has nothing to do with bots, it's just a script that isn't behaving
nicely. If you get the messages even when offline, then in the email it
should say where the object is. If the script is sending the message to
it's owner and you are receiving the message, then you own it, not
someone else.

Btw, why can't you mute it?

Some of the third-party viewers have much more sophisticated object  
search tools - I am thinking of Emerald and Meerkat with "area  
search" (Meerkat's does not seem to be working for me so I would  
advise Emerald). This could make finding the thing a lot easier if it  
is actually in the script.

Otherwise, if it is llInstantMessage, going offline could result in it  
sending messages to email. Or, AR it.

Ann,

I modified my avatar radar script to locate other things a few times. If
it can't find an object named "Door" in the sim, that would seem very,
very odd. If you can't mute it I would assume that you own it... though
I can't imagine you not being able to find it!

I've had a few scripts go ballistic in the past (most recently a few
days ago) where they were receiving touch events that didn't exist and
thus spamming the living crap out of me with dialog boxes. Once, even a
script recompile didn't work and I had to clear the script out of it and
replace it entirely with an edited one, I would presume to reduce the
usage count of the script to the point where the asset server expunged it.

I suppose you could be having a similarly bad event triggering, though
I'm not very familiar with your way of doing things as far as
configurations are concerned.

A estate owner or manager should be able to find the Door via the top scripts panel in the estate menus.

I've had this problem. Particle effects spread throughout the sim
using Jobsy's freebie particle script. I apologize if I murdered his
name. Anyway, now and then one will just up and started spamming like
someone was going to town clicking on them. It's happened twice so
far.

I'm not sure what causes it. Someone clicking and crashing? Maybe some
wires crossed in an event call or something.

I can't recall if his script uses touch() or touch_start(). Which
would probably help track down the bug. touch_start() means it's
triggering repeatably. touch() means it's just stuck.

I wonder if a jira exists on that.

Didn't they add something to the viewer so you can click the name and see the location information?

Yes, they did. Just click the name of the object in the chat window and you'll see exactly where it is. Best Feature Ever.

I used touch().

As the list has indicated, you probably own it, and it's probably
gotten "stuck" on the touch() event.

I took a look at Jopsy Pendragon's "New Improved Particle Script
Sample!" and it uses the touch() event. That's the script that's
gotten stuck for me.

I bet that this door uses a touch() event, too. If you can find out if
it does or not, that'd help diagnose the bug by giving a second
occurrence of it.

Here's my writeup on it:

http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-4873

Feel free to add any information you find.

Perhaps try resetting scripts in all doors on your sim?

Sometimes one of the pose balls in the photo garden goes nuts and spams whoever used it last.
Eventually they plead for me to make it stop.
After the second time it happened I made sure every one of them had a unique name given there are dozens of the pose balls rofl.
Basically about every time there is a rolling restart this sort of thing starts to happen.

Sure is a hassle to have to go reset every pose ball in the photo garden.
It would be nice if we had a reset all scripts in the region command. Or even one for the parcel.

Something named "Door"  is swamping my chat window with error messages.  In
sets of 8 spaced a second apart, repeated about every 15 secods.
Message is:-
Door: The door prim has not been configured yet. Please read the usage

It is an IM, presumably being sent to llGetOwner() but could also be
directed to land owner from something I don't own.
I can locate it within about 100m by finding places where the text changes

The text "Please read the usage instructions in the door script." indicates
it is an acquired/introduced object.  May not be owned by me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the suggestions and helpers that came looking for it.

It must be a prim in an object so it can't be scanned.

From whatever is sending me these messages the click on name option is not working.  The color of the message suggests it is a llOwnerSay(). 

I continue to get blocks of 8 messages about 1/2 sec apart with 12 seconds appx between blocks.  8 copies of it suggests it is an object with 8 separate "Doors" and I'm getting a message from each one, each 12 second cycle.

It is some object that I've acquired somehow. 

I believe that I must have created the problem myself by mass re-compiling mono scripts to LSL in an attempt to improve performance.  There does appear to be some improvement.  But in the process I've reset something.

I was able to mute it by timing the mute to when it appeared on the list.  I'll just wait until sometime in the future someone finds a door that doesn't work.
