Hey,

at first very nice tool. Thank you for that!

I have two question.

1) How can i edit the !nextmap-command, that all player will see the result in the public chat? At the moment only the player see the result, who will write the command.

2) Is there a possibility to type the commands in the teamchat? At the moment the commands only work, when i type them in the publicchat.


Greetings,

Ma$H

Greetings mash and welcome to the forums.

1. If an admin types @nextmap then the results will be displayed to all players. It is likely to get annoying if everyone has that ability.

2. No, currently it only takes commands from public chat.  You could alter it to take team chat commands, but why would you want to do that?

Complementary to the previous reply:

1.) A good start to use B3 would be our documentation, the admin plugin handles the most commonly used commands. Also the 'command_prefix_loud' (@) is in the admin configuration.

2.) Admin plugin only handles public commands and private commands, not teamsay commands...

Hello there! There are a couple options for what you are trying to accomplish.

It took me so long to write this, 2 other people replied, but w/e.  

Short answer to 1): type @nextmap if you are above level 20 and the response will come through global chat instead of a PM.

Long, more informative answer to 1):

1. The !nextmap command actually can be issued using the 'loud' or 'big' command prefix. If you look in /path/to/your/b3/b3/conf/plugin_admin.xml, you will see a line like this:

Code:

<set name="command_prefix_loud">@</set>

.
This will determine what character is used for the 'loud' command prefix. You may change it if you'd like. When issuing some commands (such as nextmap), you can use the loud prefix to have the B3 response sent to the global chat instead of being private messaged back to you. With the prefix set to "@", typing @nextmap will give you the result you are looking for. The next setting down in the config file is the 'big' prefix. If you start a command with that, depending on the game, it will bigtext the response to the whole server.
Now look down a couple lines in your plugin_admin.xml, you will see

Code:

<set name="admins_level">20</set>

. This tells B3 what level you consider to be someone of admin or moderator status on your server. Keep in mind that a player has to be at or above this level to issue a command with either the 'loud' or 'big' command prefix.

However if you want everyone who has access to the !nextmap command to be able to have the response appear in the global chat, you could edit /path/to/your/b3/b3/plugins/admin.py. If you open that up, search for "cmd_nextmap", look a few lines down and change

Code:

cmd.sayLoudOrPM(client, '^7Next Map: ^2%s' % mapname)

to

Code:

self.console.say( '^7Next Map: ^2%s' % mapname)

. If you do this, I recommend backing up your admin.py file first. After editing this file, you must restart B3 for the changes to take effect.

Answer to 2):

If you are looking to hide the commands you are executing from the rest of the server, you can PM them to yourself in Quake based games. To do so, type /tell <your name or client number> !command.

Correct me if i'm wrong but if i remember right the default !nextmap cmd from admin plugin does not print the correct map anyway since cod7 servers do a random map shuffle.

Rotationmanager plugin has helped me there.

Hey,

thanks for all your answers.

To 1) I have installed the B3 with the windowsinstaller. Unfortunately i dont't see to the folder "plugins" how Leito it called to me. How can i edit the "admin.py" with a windows-installed version?

To 2) There was a other tool we operated in the past on our servers. Our players are accustomed, that they can type the commands in public- and teamchat. I find it better too, because there is less spam in the public chat. Can i change it any way?

Greeting and thanks a lot,

Ma$H

+1 get the commands working from teamchat too...
i think it should not matter where we type the commands... they should be recognized everywhere...

also i cant get the private commands with "tell #" working on my cod4 servers... 

[MordyT]

There is no private function in CoD4. Issue with the game, not the bot.

Unfortunately there is no way to edit the files in the compiled version, you would have to install one of the other versions in order to do so.

only the server itself or a rcon tool can use the tell command...
but if b3 can use tell with rcon why cant i use it with /rcon tell # too?

Which RCON tool can use rcon tell in CoD4?

Hello,

which files i have to change, that the commands work also in the teamsay-chat?

Is that a big effort?

It is the admin plugin that recognizes commands of the chat.

Look at the admin.py file (in b3/plugins directory). Search for

Code: python

        self.registerEvent(self.console.getEventID('EVT_CLIENT_SAY'))
        self.registerEvent(self.console.getEventID('EVT_CLIENT_PRIVATE_SAY'))

replace with :

Code: python

        self.registerEvent(self.console.getEventID('EVT_CLIENT_SAY'))
        self.registerEvent(self.console.getEventID('EVT_CLIENT_TEAM_SAY'))
        self.registerEvent(self.console.getEventID('EVT_CLIENT_PRIVATE_SAY'))

and search for

Code: python

    def handle(self, event):
        if event.type == self.console.getEventID('EVT_CLIENT_SAY'):
            self.OnSay(event)

replace with

Code: python

    def handle(self, event):
        if event.type in (self.console.getEventID('EVT_CLIENT_SAY'), self.console.getEventID('EVT_CLIENT_TEAM_SAY')):
            self.OnSay(event)

that should do the trick

Thank you very much. Works fine
