Ehhh, you’re updating me again?!

May 29, 2009 | Posted in IRC Bot, Tagged

I’ve heard rumours on the internets that some people think I am a girl. Some people think I am a slave; most of you seem to think I am a slave girl.  Over-active imaginations I say.

In this iteration:

  • I now have a scheduler which I can use to do whatever I like at any time of my choosing
  • By requesting !lan you can now find out exactly when/where the next LAN is and how many people are attending. This is linked in with the web signup system at http://www.cogsbristol.co.uk/signup
  • By requesting !server you can find out what servers we run and more detailed information about our TF2 server i.e. the current map and how full the server is.  If you are not currently playing TF2 on our server, go and join it now!
  • I can now be used as a vessel through which life and death can be bestowed upon thee.  By which I mean to say that COGSBot can giveth ops away, as COGSBot can revoke them. Or something.
  • I was receiving complaints from some individuals that I occasionally m0d mistakes. Big deal. These are rectified from now on.

The COGSBot Update!

May 21, 2009 | Posted in IRC Bot,News, Tagged

Internal stuff:

  • I can now reload various parts of the bot without having to restart it. No longer will it need to be shut down to make small changes
  • Everything is now being logged which will open up avenues for cool stuff in the future
  • Support for coloured text (hah – yes you heard it right Wyrm!)

Requested stuff:

  • Bot now supports ‘danger words’. I.e. the bot warns when people post potentially NSFW links
  • keke, you’ll find out soon enough

Bug fixes

  • It was possible to create lists with capital letters in. These lists were unusable
  • in some of the bot’s output, commands weren’t being displayed in bold in certain cases

Exam Stress?

May 11, 2009 | Posted in News, Tagged

Stressed about exams? Can’t think of ways to procrastinate? A LAN is clearly the answer! Rapidly drawing closer is the 16th of May exam-LAN, which had to be emergency moved to MR4 due to marauding desks.

Come along for the usual mix of computerised hilarity. We’re planning for a few new crazy games such as Armagetron and Gang Garrison 2, to further help relieve your worries. Sign up using the link at the right!
