VS - Vendetta script (extended the ap_list)...

Jul 26, 2003 BusMasteR link
Well some might have doubted that i'd actually do anything about this, but i've managed to put the basics together though i have had major personal problems meanwhile...

This extended version i call VS. Besides being somewhat easier to run on all platforms (though a install script is under dev - and still heavly needed), it now contains 2 functions:

1) ingame view of active players listing from vendetta's website - which i have extended to include teaminfo and total count...

2) A function for keeping track of stats, divided into PL, NPC, NPCDEF and caps/steals. With the oppotunity of tracking multible characters.

Very near plans:
An install and setup script (which is very near, cause of the need).
To make multible characters easier to use...
To add the option of executing external programs while ingame.

I have not yet a place for hosting this - but mail me at:
busmaster_gt@mail.dk
if you are interested in trying it out and i'll mail the package to you.

* FiReMaGe looks at his automatically updating active list which only is viewable through the browser and hovers over the delete button.

Sounds like something usefull. I already stare at mine all the time.

Woups... I've stompled upon a pretty dumb error...

On Linux and MacOSX you will need to edit 'start_vs' too and replace:
~/.vendetta/errors.log
with the path to your errors.log file within the vendetta directory...

/me goes off to bang his head into a wall in hope of intelligence to appear =)

Ooookey - i've finally had some time at a windowsbox (eeeww) and i came to the conclution that: I CAN'T FIND A PROPERLY WORKING COMMANDLINE TAIL FOR WINDOWS. Which basicly means, that until someone finds one that works properly or until i make one myself it won't be able to run on windows...

I'm currently working on it, and i hope that 1.2 will be out soon - with a working tail "port"...
