about

license

for license information please see Autopilot#License

features

standard

features from autopilot:

• Periodic automatic server password changes
• Implementation of max_clients, max_companies and max_spectators settings in openttd.cfg (not normally available in OpenTTD revision 6280 and earlier)
• Implementation of net_frame_freq setting in openttd.cfg
• Automatic pausing of the server when the number of connected clients is below a user-defined threshold
• Greeting of players, by name, as they join the server (up to three chat lines)
• Changes behaviour of exit console command to save the game to game.sav before closing the server
• Changes behaviour of save console command to use a default of game.sav if no file is specified
• adds version and license commands to console
• adds an admin pager facility to the game

features introduced in ap+:

• callback environment (used for all !commands and callbacks)
• custom in-game !commands
• callback on client joining the game (MOTD now takes place in here and can be sent to the new client privately)
• callback on changed server password

irc

requires: tcllib features from autopilot:

• Bridging of in-game chat with IRC channel, allowing IRC users to converse with players, and vice-versa.
• Provides channel and privmsg commands to query the players and companies on the server
• Provides channel and privmsg commands to show server version and newgrf settings
• Provides privmsg rcon commands, allowing IRC users with the rcon password to control the server
• Provides channel and privmsg commands allowing IRC users to learn the current password
• Supports CTCP VERSION and can identify to IRC services

features added in ap+:

•  !rcon command can now be used by channel op's (from channel or privmsg) without the rcon command (e.g. !rcon pause)
• custom !commands (see custom !commands for more details)
• auto-rejoin after kick
•  !leave command (leave the channel, make bot rejoin with /invite)

features planed for ap+:

• capture console output and return to the command issueing irc client
• private chat between irc client and game client

mysql

unchanged, see Autopilot#MySQL module

signals

requires tclx ap+ provides kill signal catching and sourcing files from autopilot/signals/ appropriately please note that not all os's support all the signals that ap+ has support for. ap+ will filter the unsupported signals out of the list and output a warning. bin/ap-signal.sh links the kill signals to actions their respective signal tcl script performes (making it easier to determin what signal to send) (e.g. bin/ap-signal.sh IRC_QUIT will disconnect form the irc server)

custom commands

the custom !commands from irc currently (please not that this will change soon) have following available variables / procedures:

[who]

(string) returns the name of the nick that called on irc

[target]

(string) where was the message picked up from

::ap::say::everywhere "message"

send a message to the game / irc / mysql (if loaded of course)

::mod_irc::say::reply $isPrivate [who] "message"

reply in the same manor the server has been addressed (public chat / privmsg)

::mod_irc::say::public [who] "message"

say publicly to the channel, and highlight the client that addressed the server

::mod_irc::say::public "message"

just send a message to the irc channel

::mod_irc::say::private [who] message

send a privmsg to an irc client

::mod_irc::nickIsOp [who]

(bool) check if [who] is a channel op

::mod_irc::chatIsPrivate [target] 

(boolean) true if we have been addressed in a privmsg

::ap::game::console "command\r"
