I wrote a simple replacement for the welcome plugin.

When the user connect, it broadcast the location using geoip.

Connected $name from $country

And also adds this information in the welcome message:

Everyone welcome back $name, from $country. Player number #$id, played $connections times

$country: is "City (Country)"

Regards.

im a little confused...
If this uses GeoIP, then how does it know where the GeoIP.dat file is located?
Am I missing something?

Forgive my ignorance, I only just today grabbed geoip and configured xlrstats webfront to use it.
No idea what else i can do with it yet.

It use an external service (ipinfodb.com) for geolocation.
I forgot to add a library, I uploaded the file again because I don't know how to update the previous one.
It also includes a fix when the user disconnects before broadcasting.

silly question number 2...
Do I simply replace the deafult welcome with this?
what I mean is do I simply change     <plugin name="welcome" priority="9" config="@b3/conf/plugin_welcome.xml"/>
to
    <plugin name="geowelcome" priority="9" config="@b3/extplugins/conf/geowelcome.xml"/> ?

Or do these 2 work along side eachother?

You have to replace the existing welcome plugin with this one.
Please, download the updated version attached to the first post.

This doesn't mean that you have to delete the original plugin! Just replace it in your b3.xml config file under plugins.

Nice service by the way, didn't know about ipinfodb.com before. Is it a reliable free service, or will it be 'paid only' in some time?

Good question  they are maintained by donations.
I hope they keep this service free, though everything can happen 

I'll implement a cache for next version, to decrease the number of queries.

any ideas? i need simplejson package?

[Courgette]

If you are using the win32 standalone version of B3, then you cannot use plugins that requires additionnal python modules (such as simplejson)

[hEmI]

hmm..i dont really know which version is running on server, cause the bot was already installed.

When this "simplejson" is missing i have win32?

pity

thank you for reply.

[Courgette]

if you are running the bot with "b3_run.exe" instead of "python b3_run.py" then you are using the win32 standalone.

[hEmI]

uh yes, b3_run.py

very pity

thank you for help

[Courgette]

you are not running the standalone version. Thus you can install the new dependencies.

Ask the plugin developper about what dependencies are required for this plugin to work
