Anyone here is aware of B3 (aka Big Brother Bot) ?
I know Urban Terror server admins use it a lot.
If we manage to install it with SG, it will ease server administration a lot, cause it has a lot of feature. And of course, if B3 works with our game, none of the coder will have to work on admin feature (which are quite annoying to code IMO).
B3 can kick Teamkiller, or ban them for for a while. For example a common config will ban a teamkiller for 1 minute, then if he reconnects and does it again, he is banned for 2 minutes, then for 4 minutes, and so on.
If someone loves to shoot at your legs at the begining of the round, but never kill you, he will be banned too, cause it count all damage done to a mate. Bans are performed on a combination of your IP adresse and your GUID, maybe with another params, but it works really well.
Before kicking a guy, the bot says something like "<nickname> will be kicked if not forgiven". If people injuried by him send the chat line "!forgive", all damage they have received from this guy will be forgiven.
B3 works with a database, and can do a lot of stuff, can remember who you are, can store your statistics, give admin status automatically.
I don't know how to install it, but i'm sure some of our player/admin will give it a try, the official website is here :

I have played 2 weeks ago on a server named something like vgames.eu , and i'm pretty sure that B3 was installed here, cause the console was chating similar things. Maybe we should ask the admin to write a tutorial ?
IMO, it is wiser than put a lot of energy to have our own admin system.
Hi,
Tequila told me that he has contacted "Villa", the admin of "vgames.eu" server, and he is okey to share his experience of installing/configuring B3 for Smoking Guns.
So go ahead dude !
We want you !
Oh, I'm not moderator here, so if Pardner or Red can mark this thread as "sticky", I think it's a really important thread.
For those that don't know what it is, here the main interest with B3: it provide a lot of stuff for monitoring your server, kick bad player (TK), remember user and doing statistics, and so on... For the dev team, it is really usefull too, because you already know that we don't have too much coder (poor Tequila ), so if we can use B3 instead of coding admin stuff, we can focus on game feature.
