New MatchBot version

[Stabwound]

I guess there is a new update to the MatchBot's that they just activated a few minutes ago. So far I've noticed these changes:

When you go into the ?go base arena, you get a message like this:

MatchBot> Welcome to Basing, Teams: Freq 1 vs. Freq 2. We are currently playing, 3 minutes played. Score: 20594 - 1948

If the game is still picking, it will say so, instead of giving a score.

Also, in ?go base if you !switch or !change someone the Bot will announce it to the arena in green text, detailing who got changed into what ship:

Storage changed from ship 7 to ship 3

The !status command will give you something similar, but better formatted:

MatchBot> -------------------------- Basing ---------------------------
MatchBot> Teams : Freq 1 vs. Freq 2
MatchBot> 27627 - 13714
MatchBot> - We are currently playing, 6 minutes played

Most of this stuff also works in the JD and DD arenas. The bots in those arenas will now tell you what round is being played:

MatchBot1> --------------------------- TWDD ----------------------------
MatchBot1> Teams : Lightning Strike vs. Sniper Co.
MatchBot1> Round 1 : 35 - 29
MatchBot1> - We are currently in round 1: playing, 6 minutes played

EDIT: Yes, the bots do tell you the results of the previous rounds.

The bot is very nice.

If you type !status to the bot, it tells you the round and who won the past rounds; stab.

[Fit of Rage]

i cant copy/paste (im at school but after a TWD, it says something like this:

yoursquad beat/lost Othersquad. Your TWD rating has from from XXX to XXX.

[Stabwound]

That's not new, it's just finally back from last TWD season.

[Da1andonly]

yeah, the "how-much-points-you-got" is cool. We just went 60 points in twdd after beating Warpath.

[Rule]

Yep noticed a few changes

[PaulOakenfold]

I like going from arena to arena and having the bot tell me what's going on without me typing anything

[Stabwound]

Yeah, that's great. I still don't know what I think of the bot announcing ship changes, etc. Takes a bit of the teamwork out, if you ask me. Usually when I'm playing a base game, I'll notice shortly after the enemy team makes a ship change, and then let the rest of my team know. :P
