Does anyone want to be the new maintainer?
« on: March 21, 2007, 01:59:01 am »
I didn't really intend to pick this up any further than fixing it -- I don't really have plans for any new features or anything.

If you'd like to pick the project up, reply here or contact me and I'll get you a copy of my workspace file, so you have everything that I've done to it and can pick up from there.

If nobody takes up this offer, of course, I'll still fix any bugs or update it to conform with new Battle.net changes, etc, but I probably won't add too many new things, since I'm working a lot more again.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I personally don't have time to take over any projects (and lack much understanding of the Battle.net protocol as a whole, though I do know a few things), but I due to JavaOP's plugin system I don't really consider this a problem. If I want a new feature I can easily write it myself, and as long as someone ensures the bot as a whole stays connected to Battle.net it all works for me.

Well, the only problem I have is I can't think of new things to add.
If you guys get a orginized list of things you want. I could prolly blaze through it and add everything for you.
(And any more you think of in he future)
And then, making the needed changes to the core to make it work with Bnet shouldn't be hard. So i'm game.

I'll help, but my eMac is in the shop at the moment, so I have limited access to development tools.

Although, I think it should be a community effort, it should not fall all on one person. I don't have time to fix everything with it, although, the little problem here and there I will help fix.

This is where stuff like CVS becomes your friend :)

Hdx, if you want to host a CVS, that'd be cool -- we could all work on it.

iago, if you want to post a quick tutorial on how to upload, download, commit, etc, that'd be sweet.

If you guys get a orginized list of things you want. I could prolly blaze through it and add everything for you.
I personally would very much appreciate few things:
- nice, highly customizable www interface, pretty much the same thing as in JavaOp1 but somehow without frames and with some config files for changing colors etc. Pretty neat solution would be dynamically generated site with the list of people who are present in the channel which could be configured in plugin settings and which could be later put on site with php include() . I know there is such a plugin around, it uses 8080 port so somehow it doesn't want to work for me, nvm. It also lacks latency info - it displays only clients and accounts

- custom commands. Now this is something I really miss in JO. SB has more or less the feature I'm talking about. I sometimes would like users to be able to give other users particular access, say +B, but if I let them use .setuser (or .add) command, they can give ppl not only +B but also other flags.
Syntax for .setuser is: .setuser ACCOUNT FLAGS. I cannot make an alias for this, the best thing would be to make a custom command which would issue the command .setuser %1 +B where %1 is ofc account name passed as an argument.
That's just one example ;)

- fixing D2/D2LoD bots. I guess it isn't fixed yet (it wasn't in JO1 and in earlier versions of JO2 I guess). When the bot gets ops using D2/D2LoD, it identifies users so that the bot can't do anything which requires it to use account name like banning, whispering etc. In other words D2/LoD bots virtually can't do anything else apart from showing ping or something.

- one small thing which I find pretty useful would zip logs from previous days. My bot makes logs ~1MB large, it isn't that much, but when someone wants to download it, it uses 1MB of bandwidth instead of 50KB. I remember back in JO1 days I used a script dividing logs in 2 parts at 00:00, moving it to another directory and then compressing its content. But one plugin could simplify this I guess.

That's all I remember now ;P . I guess that might be some serious work but hey, you asked ;P .

Pfft, Joe, stop bailing.  :P JavaOp is all you now.
It is good to be good, but it is better to be lucky.

I don't know how to set up CVS. Hell, I don't know how to *use* CVS fully.
