Work Continues

We're still beavering away with Hal, even though the website's been quiet for a while. At the moment, we're taking on board the feedback we've been receiving, and we're planning on a big update in the not too distant future.

There's going to be a number of changes and some exciting new features that are a little hush-hush right now. Look forward to multiple server support, WON ID authing (no need for a client in the next release) and more. Soon.

Hal Bot - The Ultimate Half Life Admin Tool




What is it?

Hal is a small program that allows admins to control a Team Fortress or Counter-Strike server with added ease.

It has many advantages over using standard RCON, and offers the unique ability to speak normally ingame in order to make changes to the map, kick or ban disruptive players and much more. Simply by saying "!m 2fort", you can change the map to - you guessed it - 2Fort

Unlike standard RCON, Hal introduces User Levels. If you're a server admin, and want to give trusted users the ability to kick players, but you're concerned about handing out your RCON password, no problem. You can give your trusted players a ranking within Hal, enabling them access to only the commands you want them to access.

Hal does NOT have to be running on the game server, it can be run on any machine with an internet connection.



Who can use it?

Anyone that has RCON access to a game server can use the Hal server. Hal will be useful to any clan that regularly rents a server for practice, or full time. Hal has the ability to greatly aid a League admin or Ref in their daily job of administering a server.


What can I use it for?

Hal bot is able to change a wide variety of server variables, a list of which is available here and in the help file.

There are many uses, but here is a brief list of some of the benefits over standard RCON:

Ability to set up user levels - different players have access to different commands.

High level users of the bot have the ability to:
Change pre-match quickly and easily
Kick\Ban disruptive players quickly
Change the current map faster

Anyone on the server has the ability to:
Initiate a vote map
Initiate a kick vote

Hal features customisable notices such as the Server name and Admin name\contact which the bot will announce upon hearing "Hal Server" and "Hal Admin" respectively.

For more details on the commands that Hal offers, please see the Commands Page.
