Description:

Any kicks, tempbans, or permbans are automatically written to a twitter page, as they would appear in the console.
For example, please check my test twitter, to see what it would appear like. Since twitter can be accessed extremely easily, from phones, vista sidebar etc, this can be extremely useful in checking admins. This does not write bans that were written with the player number (@1337), because a)the standard event doesn't report these and b)because this is meant to help admins live.

Installation
Unfortunately, since Twitter is not supported by Python as default, extra libraries are necessary.
It needs:
python-twitter
which also requires:
simplejson

Conditions of Use:
You may not use this plugin for ANY illegal activity, this includes: running on cracked servers, illegal messages.

Changelog :
1.0b: Should be stable, if it is, this will be re-released as 1.0 in 1 week. Posts Ban, Tempban and Kick messages to twitter.

Download : v1.0b

Doesn't work for me. I installed the dependencies.

Error:

sorry, there were loads of bugs with this. I'm hoping to write a new version that doesn't need dependencies.

is it possible to make this login to a phpbb forum and post?

You ever think about just having the ability to tweet from game?

That might be tooo much twittering for one person to handle

twitter addict spotted !

No, since I'm in the camp of improving the ingame experience

[soggyoreo]

Ha.

 

I guess it would be nice to Tweet other things rather than just bans and give access to a Twitter account to people without actually giving them the Twitter password.

Like...

!tweet SoggyOreo just finished a 21 Kill streak on the server! Woah!
!tweet Just gained 10 public players in the past 5min, server is heating up!
!tweet Great job on the scrim =AOS= guys, had a bunch of fun. Pictures will be on Xfire shortly...

I'm not suggesting this be a replacement for a Twitter client for things like..

!tweet I need a sandwich

With this, you could append the player name that sent the tweet.

}|TF|{ SoggyOreo: Just gained 10 public players in the past 5min, server is heating up!

Thats cool though, was just a suggestion. Ill probably try to build something like this once I can get the sever admin to install the dependencies.

[Bakes]

You have a point there. My concern would be spam, and also that it requires a few external dependencies which would make it harder to install on our growing minority of exe b3 users.

I got past my first error...

From

Code:

class TwitterBanPlugin(b3.plugin.Plugin):

To

Code:

class TwitterbanPlugin(b3.plugin.Plugin):

Now Im fighting w/ twitter.py where its trying to get the login info from the box to create a cache directory...

[soggyoreo]

Can you try this one?

Ive removed the need for dependency and added a !tweet command. Might need some cleaning up and debugging cause I haven't really tested it well, but i know it works for Tweets.

*Edit

Code:

<configuration plugin="twitterban">
  <settings name="authentication">
    <set name="twitterusername">user</set>
    <set name="twitterpassword">***************</set>
  </settings>
  <settings name="commands">
<!-- 
Allows you to Tweet directly from B3
-->
    <set name="tweet-tw">80</set>
  </settings>
</configuration>

Forgot to give my config...i think its a tad diff.

Nice move soggyoreo :thumbup:

[soggyoreo]

 

Im not smart enough to know how to add events for streaks and stuff or I would. Hopefully there are no major bugs with this.
