timer for features

Post by Rebel Chik0rita »

can there b a timer for certain features?

like turning on the anti-tk (e.g. when u shoot a teammate , u die as well) feature on a server during the night (when few or no admins are around) and then automatically turning it off during the day when admins are present?


also , can certain events like rain or snow can be timed too ?

or genocide flag available only on weekends , ect. ect.

that would be kewl =)

it would b nice to have these changes without resetting the server .

You could do this right now. What you do is have a bot that joins the server every X minutes (you could use kalarm with KDE) and it enters teh server password, then /set _rainType {random value, either 'rain', 'snow' or 'none'}, then quickly says "/part Looks like the weatherman was wrong!".

Talk to LouMan or Teppic if you want to do something like that.

This could also be done very easily with a server plugin...in fact, it might be cool to have a plugin that would allow commands to be run at specified intervals. BZAdmin automatic scripts in cron jobs are really just kludges.
