This is a scorebot for multiplayer games to use with eggdrop IRC bot. It supports mainly Quake 3 Arena with OSP mod, but also other mods and partly War§ow and Quake4. QScorebot can run a scorebot on your channel or query a server once to see if your mates are playing at the moment! Examples:

• !q3 <IP|alias> - query Quake 3 Arena server and put output with actual game state, e.g.:

• !q3s <IP|alias> - start a Quake 3 Arena scorebot, e.g.:

Details on usage are here - TCL QScorebot Usage.

Requirements

• Eggdrop IRC bot installed and present on your channel. You also need access to this bot to install required scripts in order to run QScorebot.
• QStat program to query game servers. TCL QScorebot uses it to query game servers.

Installation

• Extract archives into your eggdrop's script directory.
• Edit eggdrop's conf to include qscorebot-starter.tcl.
• Edit carefully qscorebot-starter.tcl. Remember this is also TCL script.
• Things you must edit:
  1. line 23: make sure variable QUAKESTAT_PATH is set correctly for your system,
  2. line 27: make sure variable MODULES_PATH is set correctly for your system. This is a path for QScorebot's modules - quake3.tcl, quake4.tcl and warsow.tcl.
• Things you can edit:
  1. line 32: variable DEBUG_LEVEL - don't change if you're not developer. It produces large debug file only for developer use.
  2. line 38: fill ADDRESS_ALIASES array. Your users can use these names instead full IP addresses when querying/starting scorebot.
  3. line 50: comment/uncomment components. See 6. Known Issues section for details of default commented components.

Known issues and support

• Scorebot can run only one game at once only for one channel. No separate scorebots for separate channels (although it could be doable with TCL namespaces I don't want to deal with it).
• Sometimes it has problems with Overtimes.
• Sometimes it stops and doesn't get any error - restart it.

TCL QScorebot and Quake 3 Arena module is stable. War§oW module is unstable and not well tested, while Quake 4 module is in alpha development stage or even not working. I'm not going to develop anymore any of main program or its modules. I am Q3A CTF player and this part works nice. It satisfies me. I started to develop other modules but soon I lost interest to War§oW and Quake 4. I don't think it's going to change as I behated TCL while writing this one. I didn't write a new line in TCL for more than a year and I don't want to come back.

History and credits

This script is inspired from qstat4eggdrop.tcl v1.0, written by Mikael Blomqvist <micke@peachpuff.com>, http://eggdrop.peachpuff.com/. I found it useful and tried to improve its functionality, but in the end I've rewritten everything.

Special thanks goes to ghostdog, for showing me 'The Linux Way' ;)

Cheers for Madzia <3, moja piękna ;)
