COGSBot – The AGM Edition

February 10, 2010 | Posted in IRC Bot,News, Tagged

A minor COGSBot update is happening this evening.  Nothing incredibly exciting, mostly fixes and improvements, but I like to keep everyone updated with the world of COGSBot and what’s changing.

  • Resurrected (and slightly improved) the !mani feature, offering a quick and easy overview of everyone running for committee positions at the upcoming AGM.  You can private message any committee member and ask them to add your manifesto to the list
  • Added SSL support – the bot now connects to the network using an SSL link
  • Improved integration with !lan (and added helpful easy-access committee view of liftee:lifter ratio)
  • Improved code which checks if a user is identified with NickServ – on rare occasions the bot could conclude that someone was not (when they actually were…)
  • Improved user online tracking code.  After netsplits, the bot could sometimes be left with the ridiculous notion that some users were offline, and so the bot would appear to ignore them!  This should not happen anymore
  • Fixed a bug in the scheduler where two !reminders at exactly the same time would sometimes not trigger properly (thanks Wyrm for the report on that)

Here it is!

12:00 – UT2k4 – (expect TDM, iTDM, TAM and perhaps carball, depending on people’s preferences)

15:00 – SWAT4 – (ask on IRC/Yell at the LAN if you don’t have it, there will be spare copies around but it’s quicker to get it before hand)

19:00 – Defence Alliance 2 – (Free mod for Killing Floor, which you can buy from steam)

(I also want to play Hidden:Source in the evening – everybody download that!)

For those of you interested in Supreme Commander, I suggest you get on down to the forum thread to organise a mutually suitable time – hopefully this way it doesn’t take over the entire LAN. Also check the forum thread out to see what other games are likely to be played throughout the day.
