Hi!,

Im looking for a script that will allow me to add my HL2 servers to it and people can then type !servers and they would recive a PM, with the server IP, amount of players on and the current map.

E.g.

<user>!servers
<bot>Server #1: 123.123.123.123:27015 12/24 de_dust2
<bot>Server #2: 123.123.123.123:27025 12/24 de_dust2
etc

I was thinking the servers could be added to the bot either through PM, or even using some kind of text document on the server that it reads from.

I used to have a script like this but its for "rbot" so its coded in "ruby" (i think) but i think some protocols have been updated since then because its not working anymore .

If you think there might be somthing in that script that could help here i could post it.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

P.s. I realise this might take alot of time to do, so if anyone could recommend any scripts thats kind of like this, i could probaly workout how to edit them myself (i have basic TCL knowledge).


Thanks again for any help you can give me!

The first part of this request is simple, just a matter of using "puthelp" to show servers from a list. Showing users/map are a different matter tho, how would we obtain that information?

Maybe someday someone will actually post the specs for these servers so we can write scripts that communicate with the server.

Hi, thanks for your reply!

if its not possible to directly get the map/players do you think it would be possible to get the infomation from a website? E.g. I use this script called "lgsl" which basicly shows all the infomation i need but on a webpage (you can see example http://specialattack.net/monitor/).

Thanks!

Thats doable. Do you want the script to just use that webpage for data, rather than have a seperate list of servers in a text file?

Hi,

Well i supose i could just use the webpage data now (its hosted on the same server as the bot will be, so me adding servers to it etc won't be a problem ).

I only mensioned the text file idea because i thought you would need to store the servers somewhere if you was going to get the infomation directly.

Thanks again!

OK thanks sooo much!

Btw, since almost all the requests like this are for hl & hl:s based games, this should cover most of them

Although you will need UDP which means getting a UDP package for tcl.
