Live work was done on the PVPGN bot over the weekend in order to test its connectivity. I was able to finish some features and started work on some of the more advanced aspects of the bot. Things have become more complicated in terms of the coding but its nothing I can't handle given time.
Many users don't understand how the bot will be used to better the gaming experience. Let me clarify on the componets that I am working on at the moment.
The feature im working on ATM is the 'ban list'
The bot relies on user input to form a database of users that perform acts that hinder a good game. Acts such as spaming, swearing, leaving, selling allies items, "selling" etc etc. ANY users can issue a complaint by messaging the bot with the following command
/msg tg_bot add <username> <reason>..
An admin will then decide whether the claim has any merit and approve accordingly. Should users abuse the public complaint system, the bot can take input from authorized users only.
Upon approval the bot will using some advanced techniques to identify the 'banned' user beyond his username and ip. This will prevent blacklisted users from recreating a new account and thus clearing him of all charges ;)
This information WILL NOT be used to ban users on sight, not in this version atleast. The information will be used to guide hosts/players as to the status of their teammates with the below command
/msg tg_bot checkgame
The bot will then reply with a tally of all reported incident for each users, the creator of the game will then decide what action should be taken.
Example of output
vax(0), ersutu(1), para_(2), dobbie(10)
These features are NOT completed but will be finished soon
