Another new release of the duel bot is in use now - When you enter a box it is said in pub chat so your rival knows what box you entered - You can get scores from all duels with !score - You can get current score from one duel with !score - All doors are fixed Have fun! -MMaverick

Great work catid with the latest build. <3 Mervbot -MMaverick

Your prayers have been answered Duel bot has just been updated to newer version. It doesnt count draws now. And it has some minor bug fixes. Have fun in ?go duel Also thanks to Vile Requiem & Pernille for his & her work setting up the bot(s). -MMaverick

New duel Bot! Because players missed the duel bot I have created a new one. It is in the arena duel loaded under "Lips". Usage: - ?go duel to play - Enter one of the tubes in the middle to enter a box or just enter a box the regular way. - Tell your opponent to go to the same box number. - Set the kill limit with !kills . The default is 5. (So if you don't set any kill limit with !kills it will be set to 5) - Duel! Have fun -MMaverick

Welcome to 17th Parallel staff -MMaverick

comment noticed Delic. I don't think the announcebot will be removed so quickly. -MMaverick

There has been a slight misunderstanding about the new top 100 feature in pub. Let me explain it. You can only get in the race of the top 100 if you get on the "Most (...)" at the end of each soccer match. For example "[W ] Most kills: PlayerName (7 kills)" which is displayed at the end of each soccer match. If this happens with your name, then your name is put into the !top100. When you get on the "Most (...)" in more then just one match, then your old number is added up to the new number and that is put into the top100, probably on a higher position. Recoil, your comment has been noticed, however you must be playing on one really old computer if this causes lag. I haven't got such a new computer either and I'm not experiencing lag, at least not from the new announcebot -MMaverick

Re read the text on top of the application ... (Sorry couldnt control myself replying to this..) -MMaverick

As you might all have seen when entering 17th Parallel - there is something new in town.... It is Announcebot! What does it do? It keeps a top 100 for a week period. You can see the current top 100 and your personal place in it with the !top100 command. Announcebot also announces news, the top 100 and everything else via the text displayed at the center of the map. It does this via a lvz file which you download when you have the "optional graphics" option turned on. What doesn't it do? It doesnt cause lag in any way, it can only cause a little lower fps. Credits go to Rifleman LoveWar MMaverick And everyone I might have forgot Cheers Have fun! -MMaverick

The 17th Bot development group is working on it. However it would help a great deal if the coordinates are given, stated in Rifleman's message(s). -MMaverick

17th Parallel is searching for bot builders! As already stated in news.txt, we are searching for bot builders who can help us built some bots that are going to be part of the zone. This includes creating new bots from scratch, updating old bots and recreating bots from source. Those who are accepted will have their own bot capable of connecting to 17th Parallel, and can choose which bot they want to work on through a online group connection. In the end you can have your own bot running in the zone. Can you code in c++ and are you interested in creating bots for 17th Parallel? Let us know! Please contact Rifleman in-game or via information posted below. The following should be in the mail: 1) How experienced are you with C++ and bots? 2) What is your nickname? 3) Source code for a example plugin which you feel demonstrates your knowledge with C++. --------- CONTACT INFORMATION: --------- Rifleman the_scer@hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------- -MMaverick

Great idea!! When hosting I need to view my self-made macros before I can start using them. Now I am doing this via alt-tab, my screen has to switch resolutions, anyway it takes alot of time. Such a new feature would save every host alot of time MMaverick

lol dkr

As of right now we are applying some changes to the gfx and the bot aswell. It will be up soon and I'm sure you will see it and love it. Ow. btw. this new feature doesn't cause lag.

For your information, a new pub bot (aka team evener) is being made atm. For more information contact rifleman or me in-game.

Happy birthday! -- May you live long and prospher --

Thank you 000 for your positive post. This is the thing that keeps staff going

great idea swift! This solution will also keep the (pub) chat clean

doh

Why dont you all stop the pointless flaming and the pointless messages about how bad this zone is and how bad the staff is... Why dont you all give some feedback staff could REALLY use. That is not "the pub map sucks", but "the pub map could use a ..." or "the bases should be removed, because..." Then action can be taken, however at this moment these posts will remain a flaming and complaining threat without any of you achieving anything with it.

I like this idea too. Everyone sees a zone message (with / without sound?), however you can ignore it yourself.

lol
