The HSE pack will include this IRC bot with even more features in it so keep your eyes open for it.

Woah, never heard of this app before, what does it do?

More or less this:





And no, of course you havn't. It was released a few hours ago ^_^

It displays Live Status of Player kills, Player stats, game info, current gametime... basically everything in an IRC channel. You can speak to people currently playing in the HaloCE server without actually being in the game and the players an talk back to you too.

There's even more things are are even cooler like In-Game commands.
Basically if your playing in a server with the IRC bot enabled you can use certain commands Like ' !time '. Then is will display the current game time and how much time is left to play. There are many other commands like ' Location '. Then you will get a message showing you were the HaloCE server is located.

There's another feature, when someone scores the flag, it will come up with a message saying who is responsible for scoring the flag. It looks a little like this **SERVER** BorgScooby has captured the Flag.


I hope that explains a little about it, if you so not know what IRC is you either have been hiding under a rock for a few years or just a n00b or maybe new to a computer so that's not your fault.

Do players that never host benifit off of this? Do I need this to see messages such as '**SERVER** ST has captured the Flag.'?

woah, dude, seriously....that is awesome!

Go into the -=[DD]=-BG|M@NiA server on HaloCE and you will find out more. Just ask for BorgScooby and i will respond, i am currently monitering the game so i should reply back.

couldnt someone use this program to spam a server?
or is there a way to stop it?

Is this that thing that allows players to kick and ban players?

so... if its a dedicated server, and the servers on a serverfarm, u cant use this?

i tested this shit w/ a friend ( i'm not a beta tester btw), and man it was sweet....

You said this in the other thread on GB as well
If it is a dedicated server it has a logfile and when it has a logfile the bot can display that actively over an irc channel.

Nice.

There's ways to prevent spamming. Since it's on IRC you can have a moderated channel, and just give "trusted" ppl +v.

You can also disable the !say command, which works as well

yea, i know i posted on the gbx forums cuz i was still tryna figure out how to use this thing... but- ehh fuck it, im not ugnna use it

so what would i enter for my server box?

the IP?

U enter the IP or name of the IRC server you want the bot to connect to.

irc.quakenet.org
or
irc.gamesurge.net

Alright.....so where the text, irc.quakenet.org, is you have to put in ur ip?

Is it only compatible with QuakeNet and GameSurge? Because when I try to have it connect to Sorcery.net, it doesn't get through.

Excellent program, though. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. Thanks.

Interresting. I have gotten that ***SERVER*** before, so I dont see a need to get it. I can tell (F1) who score with flag. I dont want to talk to people out of the game (who does?) so... Ill let everyone else get it.

Woo-chopper5: I'll check that
Edit: Looks like they need a version identification. I'll fix that =)


[MiNX]TEK: Sounds fair.

I'm currently working on a update (again). Any suggestions?
