Thought this would be useful to many gamers, so I thought I'd widen my audience and post here about it also.

What it does: Bot scans the game list and outputs in your channel the games/maps you want filtered, right when they're created. So you don't have to stare at the game list yourself. You can kick back and relax and chat away while the bot does the work and notifies you when a given game is made.

This is absolutely amazing. Does it only work for Battle.net servers? Or could it also work for ICCUP etc...?
|
If this works for iCCup servers I will be super happy and love you.

Technically it does, and I did test it on ICCUP also, but as mentioned in the ChangeLog, its still a work in progress due to ICCUP not fully emulating battle.net properly. And the flood system isn't the same like on Blizzards Battle.net so I kepted getting flooded off a lot. But it needs more testing on ICCUP, works fine on real battle.net. Which I did let them know (http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/community/thread/139535.html) but they never replied -.- Basically ICCUP doesn't give you an actual time that a person created its game. They hardcoded it at 45 secs for any game. While this bot takes looks at both the Filter AND the Time when it spits out games. In easy terms to understand one would just have to set the ?timefilter 46 or greater for it work on ICCUP, but then you'd get too many repeated games, which may seem like spam , but its not so bad. But it does work Heres what it looks like on ICCUP

This is the type of thing that can revive battle.net Absolutely amazing! Well done!
|
Blizzard: "Yes we have been continually taking interest in Brood War" Fuck that! Now THIS is someone who have taken interesting in Brood War! Seriously, all the maps and servers are generated by the users, Blizzard didn't support the game after patch 1.6.1!

Yeah its pretty nifty, I'll start working on a ICCup compatible feature next version, and add a bit more. Suggestions are welcome. I'm thinking about a whisper notification, so you can roam around battle.net and still be notified of any filtered games you want. If anyone needs help please post, I recommend posting in the support section of the bots site, just incase someone else has a similar question, they can see the answer there

If you make an iccup version, I'll love you FOREVER.

Wow this is extremely useful. I wish I had this program 11 years ago.
