you could make !kick/!votekick translate to !spec/!votespec for privileged users

That is an excellent idea.

bibim I know I may be just about the only person making regular use out of it, but I really do want to thank you for the !coop feature.

That said, I am getting a bit frustrated by having to spam !rebalance on some games, or not ending up with my teammates at all. It would be nice if you included the !tcoop patches someone posted earlier.


Which reminds me, in principle the !tcoop command could even be separated from the !team command entirely so that teamstackers are forced to coop.

Thanks for this bot.
The installer didnt work out of the box .. but i leeched the files manually, linked em correctly and after that it worked all fine :D

finally there is a 2nd nota-autohost running :D

Can you be more specific ? Actually, each time I chose a different syntax than Springie, there was a reason behind it (usually to allow more generic usages / more configurable behaviours).

Imo, the problem with balancing methods that require votes for team assignment of each player is that votes don't work well in lobby. Maybe it would be better if the vote system was fully integrated in lobby clients, but currently players are annoyed by votes: it takes time, there are always afk players that don't vote or players who don't understand what's going on. And usually players want to play ASAP, they don't want to wait tons of never-ending votes to choose the teams. Furthermore, even when the server has reached manage value/full value, usually there are still players who leave/join the battle, so what would happen to the teams ?

I will try

Yeah indeed. With a small message explaining why "kick" got translated to "spec" I guess it should be ok. Let's hope it won't confuse players more :) (some of them are already confused when a vote is automatically called for a command they tried to call directly so...)

As I said here, I hadn't time lately to work on SPADS (+ the planetspring issue, + vacations etc.). But I didn't forget this.

No worries, whenever you get to it :)

would it be possible to make %m variable in maplink give you the filename instead of just map smf name? more accurate results from springfiles.com with filename, now i had to manually add .sd7 in the end so it will not list 2 files in the search results, instead of that it will redirect to the correct file.


Also, could it be possible to implement identical way of handling startboxes as its in TASclient? so you can define "2 sides" "4 sides" etc, and then change vertical and horizontal size and possibly position too

Btw, is there a reason why !forceStart does not start if any of the players are unready? In Springie !forcestart started the game no matter what.

edit: or desynced

Yes, the reason is to avoid launching a game with afk players or players who don't have the map/mod.
Can you explain why you need such a behaviour ?

Archive files can be renamed, archive files can contain several maps etc.

I don't think we really need more commands than the current existing !split command for that. What commands would you need exactly ? Usually start boxes are only created once, they are then saved by SPADS (automatically or manually)...

why would tasclient have such feature if it was useless? you can set up startboxes with it so good, and making that into command line parameters isnt so hard

so why not do it?

i couldnt set boxes on my map with these current commands >_>
...because, it doesnt allow me to change the x & y % of the boxes, it only splits them with _same_ percent value for x and y. so it works good only for square maps

also would be nice to have !resize box1 left +5 or something, that would add 5% more to left side of the box1...

Because I don't need it at all, and noone expressed the need for such a thing.
But if YOU need it that much and YOU think "making that into command line parameters isnt so hard", I'm returning the question to YOU: "why not do it?"

didnt i just expressed the need for such a thing?

you only think about yourself huh

I meant "noone expressed the need for such a thing except you" obviously
Ahah, good one

Done.

The "contrib" release is currently only available when updating from "unstable" release or when installing from scratch.

For now, it only contains following external patch:

is there a ban which will autospec people, not kick them?

oh yeah baby, great

btw i can add same ban as many times i want, but when i unban, it will unban all with same nick... shouldnt it replace the old ban with new? would be easier, so i dont need to !unban and !ban spam the bot

is it possible to make it automatically change map depending on the amount of players?

like if players > 10, map = something bigger
if players < 10, map = something smaller
