Source RCON protocol

[css]

I installed php-irc and your module. It does nothing

Maybe you want to change some default settings that output some stuff to IRC. I'm too lazy to read the whole instructions at the time.

I'll post more tomorrow, but I hope you can post some good default configs. I want to see some what's happening on the server from irc, but I don't want anything from irc to leak to the server. How should I set it up?

That's the whole point of the readme, so people don't have to ask me these kinds of questions.
I spend a lot of time writing it out and would appreciate it if you would use it.

p.s. The default output level is set anything but kills and team joins
However there are still other things you NEED to setup before it works.

Me reads more readme today.

Maybe you could write quick install instructions just like in the php-irc itself. I got it running in half hour even though I had to recompile PHP as told in the instructions. Then I used half hour installing your source_rcon module, but it wasn't as smooth.

I got it working. I don't think it says anywhere in the instructions that you have to do "logaddress_add <ip:port>" to enable UDP logging. I thought the bot connects directly to the RCON stream and does necessary logaddress_add stuff by itself á la HLSW or something.

There should be option to disable colors.

Nice work, but it requires final touches to be user-frienly to install and use.

I would remove the default names from "badnames" configuration variable or maybe remove the whole feature altogether. At any rate, I would not want the bot to interact anyhow with the server by default config. One-way communication channel from game server to IRC is cool, but anything to the opposite direction is not what I want from default installation.

readme.txt Wrote:$local['ip'] (string)
The WAN ip address (internet address (http://www.whatsmyip.org)) of the computer the bot is running on
Leave empty if you put your address in the server config already, you still need to specify the port though

Look like someone didn't read the readme

Just make the colors array empty

Once again, just empty the array

Everybody wants different things, it's all a mater of personal preference.
The configuration examples are there to give the people a good idea of what this bot can do, if you don't like 'm then disable them.
Simple as that really.

You could provide set of pre-defined configs for various usage scenarios.

Emptying the color array doesn't technically remove the color codes from the text it sends to IRC. There's alsays chr(3) COLOR code even though the color array is empty.
