Spring RTS Engine

According to the spads settings, promote messages allow these variables:

%u is replaced by the user performing !promote command
%p is replaced by the number of needed players for current expected battle structure (nbTeams x teamSize x nbPlayerById)
%b is replaced by the battle name
%o is replaced by the mod name
%a is replaced by the map name

default msg: %pplayer(s) needed for battle "%b" [%o, %a] (%u)


Are there other variables which can be used? I'd be interested in having
- current number of players
- current number of spectators

No, the only placeholders available for the "promteMsg" global setting are the ones described in the documentation.
But I just added %P, %S and %U as requested in SPADS 0.13.6 (cf promoteMsg global setting documentation).

That's nice, thanks.

I'm still using SPADS 0.12.54, but i'll try to update soon.

I've updated to spads 0.13.9 and the new variables work fine, thanks.

NOTE:
I followed the instructions to update from 0.12.x to 0.13.9.

They worked except point 4. Spads wouldn't start after removing the extra ":" from users.conf :

20230416164545 - ERROR - [SPADS] Unable to parse fields in following configuration data "|140"

it's starting properly with these on users.conf

Are you sure you followed the first part of point 4 ?

the template declaration line (usually the first line of the file) must be replaced:
Old line: #?accountId:name:country:cpu:rank:access:bot:auth|level
New line: #?accountId:name:country:rank:access:bot:auth|level (the cpu field has been removed)

You're right, I missed that one. Now it works.
