PtokaX Emulation script problems

[BSOD2600]

I'm using PtokaX-emu-pre.lua/PtokaX-emu-post.lua v.3 and compat.lua v.1 with DCH 0.22. When I tried to use ChatStats. I got the following error in the DCH++ Dos window:

[string "scripts/ChatStats.lua"]:599: unexpected symbol near `%'

Looking at that line of code, its:
return foreachi(table, function(id, item) if item.sName == %name then return id end end)

Is there anyway to fix that script or the ptokax emulation ones?


Along the same lines, I was trying another chatstat bot earlier and got these errors (wasnt paying attention at the time):
[string "Scripts/compat.lua"]:63: attempt to index local `dbg' (a nil value)
LUA Error:
[string "scripts/compat.lua"]:193: bad argument #1 to `read' (invalid option)

The first one is because of a change in the language between 4.0 and 5.0...if I remember things correctly, just remove the % and it should work...(something to do with...upvalues I think they called them...)...

Thanks, that fixed one error

Now the bot loads (mostly) but right away it throws this now:
LUA Error:
[string "scripts/ChatStats.lua"]:670: parseINI() Stats/Bigstats.ini
code: assert(config, "parseINI() "..fName)

When I tried to run the save command, it threw this:
LUA Error:
[string "scripts/ChatStats.lua"]:599: bad argument #1 to `foreachi' (table expected, got nil)
code: return foreachi(table, function(id, item) if item.sName == name then return id end end)

So its sounding like this script is just too much hassle to get properly working.


Onto another subject...how do I make bots I've loaded go away? For example, I've removed this chatstat bot from luascript.xml and reloaded, but its still appearing in the hub (although not operational anymore)!

+lua dchpp.removeNick( "thebotname" )

(perhaps several times, if you restarted the script.. the ptokax scripts do not have a shutdown function, so it won't release bot-nicks, and dchpp will add and add and add :) )
