both results in the same effect, use script lock rather :)

it's on my todo list .. but it's a boring thing to fix and i dunno how i'll do it yet

i'll do that
2) Have the Rules automatically quoted in-game once the game begins, assuming the Chat Relay/Rules Relay can be fixed.
just need to hit the button, can add a timer ..
> The 'bot' being the software that processes the !-commands?
yep 'bot' is the best word i found to describe it
Okay, so !force is the same as the host hitting ctrl-enter, !exit is the same as the host quitting. Got it. These aren't too useful right now, with the alt-tab bug, but if that ever gets fixed, they'll be great.
alt tab bug ? never heard of it :) altho, i play windowed and dedicated servers too .. so it's np :)
> Okay, but how do you do that? !welcometype 0 and !welcometype 1 didn't seem to do anything, nor did !welcometype PM.
just !welcometype
> I think !lockspeed 1 gives a message claiming that locked speed has been turned off, but in fact it's been locked at 1. I remember that the message it prints to battle chat doesn't always properly reflect the changes it makes to the settings.
this is what happends when you say !lockspeed x x x x x x
> Okay, so it changes rights for commands, not for players. Got it.
there no way to (pro/de)mote players yet
> Can do!
great :)

- Commands to rehost to change mod, game size, etc.
<game size is set according to the badwidth limits and mod to the host mood dunno if it's good to add a cmd for that ...
- Ring a player. Right now, only the host can do this, but it would be handy (for dedicated servers) if other players could.
< you can kick .. it's what happends usualy after ringing :)
i'll add !ring tho

exactly

it does not, you don't have to type it with !map neither
> So it's case-insensistive, and spaces and _s are interchangable? Or can simply be ignored entirely? For example, if I have Green_Comet, I can do "!map Green_Comet", "!map green comet" or "!map GreenComet"?

actualy listed them all .. i can add more if you want to

this is what happends when you say !lockspeed x x x x x x
Code: Select all
if 1 or more arguments then
set both min and max to arg 1
if 2 or more args then
set min to arg1
set max to arg2
speedlocked = not speedlocked // if already locked then unlock and vice versa
say it to everyone

Yeah, there's a bug with alt-tab right now. Most people can't alt-tab or the game crashes on them. Last I heard, none of the developers had been able to reproduce it at all, despite almost every player I've run into encountering it at least once, so it's unlikely to get fixed soon. This means that you really have to assume that most players can't switch away from Spring during a game.just need to hit the button, can add a timer ..

Ah, it's a toggle. Got it.just !welcometype
So doing !lockspeed 1 1 followed by !lockspeed 0.5 2 results in speed locking being turned off? That doesn't seem very obvious, but I'll documented it. Perhaps !lockspeed off/!lockspeed on would be better for toggling the lock?Code: Select all
if 1 or more arguments then set both min and max to arg 1 if 2 or more args then set min to arg1 set max to arg2 speedlocked = not speedlocked // if already locked then unlock and vice versa say it to everyone
I'll add the rest to the docs.
V1.397
changed :
show once wiki page link (thanks Egarwaen)
can no longer !kick or !ban the host
!closebattle (used to do it with !kick host)
in the admin panel, *:0 no longer needs to be the very first line
!ghosted to set ghosted building on/off
!ring
!ally name team (force ally team, case sensitive !)
button to auto set share to x% (ingame, works in 1024*768 only and with top left corner near enough (a few pix error max) of top left desktop corner, use reposition window button before if windowed :))
!gameinfo replies the real game time (since server status is "ingame")
ignore list is no longer case sensitive
/befriend to add someone to friends list
tired of the "there is a new version" message ? added a checkbox to not check for new versions

!ring name makes the host say /ring name
auto set share works the same way as reposition, game has to be launched and makes the mouse click at the right position
!gameinfo is quite a bad name actualy, it replies the time since game started i plan to add more info later .. dunno what yet :) (can't say who died until game is over)

I also got a similar error on winxp when quitting the client, stated that the program had caused a acces violation in win32.dll. Today i downloaded the latest version and this one does not seem to have that problem.Leaderz0rz wrote:Access violation at address 00592201 in module 'TASClient_Modified_By_Altaric.exe'. Read of address 000000005.
i get that error doing alot of different things when i have the client running.
1.398
fixed addbot button
fixed PMs to server
added !vote feature
here is how it works
!vote start // initialize the vote
!vote set time # // in seconds
!vote set answer ..... // adds an answer to the vote (multi words allowed)
!vote del answer // no params, deletes the last answer
!vote set effect ..... // command to be performed when vote ends, replaces %a by the winning answer (multi words allowed)
!vote run // allow people to vote
!vote cancel // cancels the vote
only the one who typed !vote start can use !vote set and run, but cancel works at any time (in case of abuse)
also, some commands are not vote-able
example : to run a kick vote
!vote start
!vote set effect !kick %a
!vote set time 35
!vote set answer Altaric
!vote set answer don't kick him
!vote run
and of course, to vote : !vote #
it will draw rects on the map to inform everyone of the status of the vote (until i find better)
