war-manager: Tcl and module for eggdrop / News: Recent posts

Since I have discovered a new Java Framework (as per last post) I have not altered the code for the eggdrop module and tcl script. I am not planning to do so in the future either. Instead I am full focussing on my Java bot, which is near completion.

Due to some personal matters I haven't found the time to finish this Java version, therefore it's best to stop at sourceforge and start focusing on the new bot. This I will not host here as I think this project is not suitable as a host for a different project.... read more

Since I discovered a nice Framework for irc bots in Java I have been working on a rough version of the warmanager module in Java. It contains the same functionality, but it is more stable than the current module for an eggdrop. This is mainly because when the eggdrop encounters an error it crashes and the debug information is either not there or limited.

With the new module you can run the module, which is really a whole bot, with only an installation of Java 1.5 and MySQL.... read more

As we have recently discovered the release of warmanager.mod 2.2 beta wasn't as good as we expected. The module causes the bot to crash causing confusion among users. To reply to all: we are looking into it.

We also are looking for more features suggestions so if you have any please post them. We have added one feature called !topic which sets the topic of a prespecified channel. If you have a channel where you goto before a war then this is a handy feature. All you have to do is provide the proper info in advance (using !addmatch or !chinfo) and all you have to do is put the bot in this specific "warm-up channel" and say !topic <id>. More about this in the release.... read more

We have just released the latest code of the 2.2 version for everyone to try out. If you encounter a bug please report it here so we can fix it for the final 2.2 release.

Nearly a month passed and we have reached a point where we can start testing the module for bugs that might occur during vital operations.

After the testing phase we will release the module for public use. Be sure to post errors and bugs ASAP so we can release a possible patch.

We will release a new version of warmanager.mod which will allow you to combine it with your bot's userfile and will be more configurable.

We still need some times to code and test it but there is an end in sight. If you still have suggestions please post them under the Tracker so we can evaluate and possibly add them.

The idea to add a website has been moved to version 2.3 as that takes more time than coding the module. As well as the fact that we need to implement a way to link the site users to the bot's users.... read more

I've read all the old bugs and feature requests and decided to update the CL version 1.7b with some extra things. I hope everyone is happy with this update.

I'm sorry to report that I had to remove the webstats generator as it sucked the life out of my server while it was generating webstats for 200+ wars and 50+ users. I tested the bot on 3 different servers and they all lagged like hell for some minutes. If you really need the stats simply use the module. To get all your current wars in the module's database you need to create MySQL queries yourself and insert them. This is, at the moment, the only way. Sorry again :S ... read more

Today we've completed the 2.1b version of the war-manager module. The module is, like the TCL file, a add-on for an eggdrop. However the module has some major additions and improvements, but also some features have been removed to limit cpu load.

In the future we're hoping in include the following (no particular order):
- small website (as alternative for IRC - to be used for when at work)
- additional admin functions like !addgametype
- additional auto functions, like notify subscribed users 15 mins in advance.... read more
