Map Vote \ Kick Vote

Hal can be customised to allow players to initiate a vote to change the current map, or to kick a disruptive player. Of course, by setting user levels you may allow only admins to initiate a vote. Here's how:

Map Voting

hal mapvote 2fort

This will begin voting for 2Fort. Hal will now announce that players can vote yes or no.

hal vote yes

Once enough people have voted (the percentage is customisable) or the vote period has expired, Hal will change the map to 2fort or announce that too many people voted no. See the screenshots for an example of this.

Kick Voting

hal kickvote newbie_player

This will begin a vote to kick "newbie_player". Hal will now announce that players can vote yes or no.

hal vote yes

Once enough people have voted (the percentage is customisable) or the vote period has expired, Hal will either kick "newbie_player" or announce that too many people voted no. See the screenshots for an example of this.

Hal Bot - The Ultimate Team Fortress Admin Bot

Commands

Here is a comprehensive list of commands available with Hal in-game. Included with the set-up file is a readme text-file, which also contains these commands and their explanation.

New commands will be added with new versions of the bot, if people ask for them. Remember that your feedback is important, so let us know what you think and please offer us your suggestions via the contact page\bug report page.

Firstly, you need to auth. Check the help file that came with Hal and is available here.

Once you have joined the game, you can check to see if you have auth'd by saying "hal access". Hal will reply according to your level of access. This example assumes that you haven't altered Hals name. Again, example screenshots can be seen by viewing the screenshots page.

All commands are prefixed with the bots name, so hello means "hal hello" or whatever the bot's name is in your set-up. ! shortcuts do not need the botname prefix.
Commands are all lowercase.

hello,hi, or just the botname, makes the bot say Hi, if enabled
