UT2004 IRC Reporter v1.10 Released

[QuikShot]

Will has released the next version of his UT2004 Reporter with some handy updates. Notable changes have been made to the connecting code, meaning bots stuck in limbo should be a thing of the past. If you're still having trouble you can enable the Debug mode to work out where the problem is. Once everything's running smoothly you'll be able to modify the colours of the reports, reporting frequencies and other similar features.

Download it here.

very nice i would like to see if he had a way to not show the color codes though ... kinda annoying

for example «+whore2k4» [13:50]: @ÀÿOutlaw
ÿ
was PULVERIZED by ÿ@@Brutalis
ÿ

They'll be removed in the next UT2004 patch anyway, so it's not worth the hassle of fixing them now.

Where can I find more information about this bot? Is there a homepage?

There seems to be an issue unfortunately, with quite a few IRC servers out there. Specifically, your IRCReporter sends a username line of:

USER IRCBOT WTF PENS :IRCBOT

It seems that with this USER line, IRCReporter is detected as drone_PB, which is an evil bot (AFAIK). The respective lines in the IRC server software that perform this detection are the following:

int check_drone_PB(char *username, char *gcos)
{
unsigned char *x;
if(*username == '~')
	username++;
if(strlen(username) <= 2)
	return 0;
/* verify that it's all uppercase leters */
for(x = (unsigned char *) username; *x; x++)
{
	if(*x < 'A' || *x > 'Z')
	return 0;
}
if(strcmp(username, gcos))
	return 0;
return 1;
}

IOW, IRCReporter can't be used on our IRC servers for that reason (check src/s_user.c of bahamut ircd, version 1.4.*). Would it be possible to provide a version that "passes" this check successfully?
