WTH is this AQ2_01-bot??

The confusion started a while ago...

Now, to clear things up, some words about the "new bot in aq2-town".

Easy speaking, the bots (namely: aq2_01 and aq2_02, more to come), are broadcasting bots.
These bots _only_ broadcast text-messages over all the AQ2-related channels, that have been configured.

By just broadcasting text-messages it's sort of 'free' in everything that can be sent.

For example, you can send:
Announcements
- Tournament information
- map releases
- something important happened ... whatever

Matchmaking
- Clans want to play 4on4 or other funny things..
ctf? who knows? they can just say what they want, as long their 'request' is aq2-related.

other stuff
- Questions
- more... as long as it is AQ2-related.


Because of the fact, that there is so much freedom to messages, there are some simple rules for obtaining and keeping the bot:
easy rules
- aq2 related stuff only.
- english only.
- never reply over the bot! every message wields the nickname and channel the message comes from - go there or use a query.
- you have to have at least an average of 4 ppl in a channel .. otherwise it's not very economic (quakenet 'only' allows 20 channels per bot)

As for the commands you need to handle the aq2-bots:
".aq2" will give you a short help
".aq2 hey friends of anal penetration - i need a 4on4 now!" will send a broadcasting to every channel configured.
".aq2_enable" enables the 'frequency' aq2
".aq2_disable" disables the 'frequency' aq2
".aq2_history" displays the last five messages over private notices

If you want to have the bot, just contact me over irc...

PS:
For the tech-suspicious guys: the bots uses a centralized xml config file, located at: http://quad.netdome.biz/aq2/aq2net.cfg

It's a nice thingy ye!
And good thing that also scandinavian clans have starded using it, I think it's even in more chans than gsbot (I like both bots..)!

GSBOT has over 1000 channels. Not that it would matter in anyway, just needed to tell it.

1000000000 ? =)

[dudemcpek]

Blabla Cendor has already told me that yada yada yada..

[Jazzie]

I believe Cendor's great bot has like almost 1000! channels!!! Is there anyone that could verify this?????

Some whois over gsbot1-60 (are there more?) plus a 30 seconds script results in:

Code: Select all

grep \# gsbotwhoislist.txt | grep -v Try | perl -pne 's/\s/\n/g' | grep \# | sort | uniq | wc -l

640

640 Channels. You can count some secret (+s not findable over whois) to the result, if you want. Shouldn't be much.

And, if you image that the bot resides in many other channels than only Actionquake2 channels...

Supported games
# Action Quake 2
# Reaction Quake 3
# Urban Terror
# Enemy Territory
# Call of Duty (only matchfind for now)

Perhaps, you ask Cendor for the count of aq2-channels - if you want to compare.

[nufan]

anyway..
no need to compere the bots...
it's great that our small little scene even got two bots.
thank youu hauii and cendorr

[nufan]

sadly GSBOT are gone for awhile/good...

So I want to remind you people (especially the finnish) about Haui's aq2 bot, I find it very simple and great to use for cw finding.

#messagenet - take a look

Thanks

sad about GSBOT. but aq2 bot is great just one thing i don't like when you write "aq2_history" not all in the channel can see, everyone need to write it.

[taulutussi]

I don't like the bot using colors

[Haudrauf]

i will make them optional with a command.

[Cendor]

You can see count of channels from bots.aq2.net now 928 at the moment.. I just purged 178 channels
