I've removed the link to the external ZIP file.

ZIP files or installation files need to be ATTACHED to hack support threads on vbulletin.org. If the ZIP file is too big, just split the ZIP file into 2 - separate the files into 2 ZIP files.

This prevents unlicensed members access to vBulletin hacks.

erwin why not make the size bigger that we can upload for zip's?

the zips like 1.3 mb can you not up the size for zip's to like 1.5mb and not 1mb? having 2 zip files is going get people all mixed up to where files go and that and after all the total that can be uploaded is 2mb so why can the zip not be that size so people can upload big hacks?

You could simply have file_part1.zip and file_part2.zip... ?

This Bot has to be the funniest and best hack I've ever added to a forum.
My membership is mainly young people aged between 12 and 18 and I haven't stopped laughing all day at the posts made by the Bot :)
In fact he / she is fast becoming my biggest poster ;)

I love it :)

I used this hack back in v2 and my users loved it. Now I'm trying to install it for RC2, and I can't get it to work.

When I try to run the botloader, I get the following message:

-----

I've reinstalled, chmodded, and re-read the install.txt file countless times to no avail. Any ideas?

If the file size is too large to attach, perhaps edit your post to put the download link inside php tags, then unregistered/licensed users can't see it i don't think?

Might have to try this, seen something similar used on another board, kept people entertained for hours :)

In Admin CP:
Space (in bytes) that a user's total attachment usage may consume (Set to 0 to not have a limit)
It is already set to 0.

We do not have an attachment size limit set for uploads here at vB.org. Any restriction is server-based, and I can do nothing about it.

erwin, you do know that in vb3 each file type has its own settings in the admin cp?

because i get this:

Upload Errors
TalkerBot_v1_vb3_RC2+.zip:
File Too Large. Limit for this filetype is 1.00 MB. Your file is 1.39 MB.

check the settings for:

Attachments => Extension => Zip

if you dont mind because i really dont want to make 2 zips and split the files up.

You're right. :)

I've increased it to 2 Mb for ZIP files. Thanks.

Thanks! :) Loaded it on a test forum, works wonders...

*goes off & has a nice chat with the bot*
