Server Help

[blackmoon]

I need a bot that will let me program, say, 5 to 8 messages that will broadcast either to the zone (*zone) or the arena (*arena)... can someone help me out with one or help me get started with making one?? I can't seem to find one that is already done and downloadable. Thanks in advance!

there is a setting that displays periodic messages if thats what you are looking for

[blackmoon]

I have tried using that setting, but couldn't get it to work the way I want it to, or else I am just confused on how to set it. I would like to periodically announce to the zone or arena multiple items, but not necessarily all of them at one time. That is why I figured a bot would probably work best, but I can use the periodic message if you could explain it a little better to me. thx.

Post the messages, and how often you want them to be displayed, and we can easily just add the few numbers that are needed together for you.

[blackmoon]

Honestly, I do not know what all I will want to display. I do have Visual Studio 6 so I can compile source code, I just need the source. Is it possible for you to make it with the following test lines that I can go in and edit in the source and compile when I think of what I want to say? Have them announce every 3 minutes?

Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4
Test5
Test6


???? Possible? Thanks.

[Misc]
PeriodicMessage0=X Y Message

X = How often you want it to repeat.
Y = Delay before the first announcement.

So, for example, if you have 4 messages (the max), and you want one to display every minute in a rotation, you'd do this:

Code: Show/Hide [Misc] PeriodicMessage0=4 1 This is the 1st message. PeriodicMessage1=4 2 This is the 2nd message. PeriodicMessage2=4 3 This is the 3rd message. PeriodicMessage3=4 4 This is the 4th message.

Hope that helps.

Why do people want bots bots bots these days when a lot of it is possible with the server?

[Deadly]

dunno

and if someone is willing to actually help me for once with lvz.. it would be appreciated im making a score board, basically that shows players w/l i already have the board made and a couple of the numbers.. but i dont know how to make certain lvz appear in certain place on screen and stuff

[Deadly]

well ya.. but how do i make the actual lvz image appear on like.. say under the disp.bm2 thing (energy, bounty, flags, etc)

[Donkano]

[Deadly]

sigh

i know... make it servercontrolled, then the scoreboard itself use E to put it under disp.bm2, but the numbers im having problems thinking of.. i would have to make a really big lvz, and make it so the numbers line up inside of the scoreboard.. THATS what i dont get

[Bak]

use my scoreboard plugin from http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=3134&highlight=scoreboard to get a working scoreboard for soccer games. just replace the sample lvz with whatever gfx you want

[Underlord]

Here's an example of a lvz setup to display w/l for a player in top right. Need more details about what exactly the scoreboard shows to help any more.

Code: Show/Hide ; player deaths B-21,156,IMAGE0,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8000 B-21,156,IMAGE1,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8001 B-21,156,IMAGE2,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8002 B-21,156,IMAGE3,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8003 B-21,156,IMAGE4,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8004 B-21,156,IMAGE5,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8005 B-21,156,IMAGE6,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8006 B-21,156,IMAGE7,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8007 B-21,156,IMAGE8,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8008 B-21,156,IMAGE9,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8009 B-29,156,IMAGE0,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8010 B-29,156,IMAGE1,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8011 B-29,156,IMAGE2,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8012 B-29,156,IMAGE3,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8013 B-29,156,IMAGE4,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8014 B-29,156,IMAGE5,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8015 B-29,156,IMAGE6,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8016 B-29,156,IMAGE7,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8017 B-29,156,IMAGE8,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8018 B-29,156,IMAGE9,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8019 ; player kills B-67,156,IMAGE0,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8020 B-67,156,IMAGE1,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8021 B-67,156,IMAGE2,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8022 B-67,156,IMAGE3,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8023 B-67,156,IMAGE4,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8024 B-67,156,IMAGE5,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8025 B-67,156,IMAGE6,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8026 B-67,156,IMAGE7,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8027 B-67,156,IMAGE8,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8028 B-67,156,IMAGE9,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8029 B-75,156,IMAGE0,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8030 B-75,156,IMAGE1,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8031 B-75,156,IMAGE2,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8032 B-75,156,IMAGE3,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8033 B-75,156,IMAGE4,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8034 B-75,156,IMAGE5,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8035 B-75,156,IMAGE6,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8036 B-75,156,IMAGE7,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8037 B-75,156,IMAGE8,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8038 B-75,156,IMAGE9,TopMost,ServerControlled,0,8039

btw, has anyone ever used >10,000 lvz line .ini? seems to lag most of the 32mb video card players.

[blackmoon]

Thanks for the info about the periodic messages. I opened the template.sss file and it explained exactly what you did. I guess I should have looked in there first. No need for a bot now, thanks!!

btw: it let me set 0 - 4 so that means you can set 5 periodic messages. Or atleast it says you can.

[Cyan~Fire]

Oh, ok, I guess I counted wrong.
