So I got bored this evening and decided to re-code the old #tf.mercs bot. In the end I completely refactored the code base.

For those that don’t know, #tf.mercs was a channel where you could both advertise and search for a merc. I wrote a bot to handle the usual operations, but soon after I stopped playing TF2, the bot died and I didn’t have the time to sort it out properly.

Now the channel is back though, as #tf2.mercs, and also a highlander channel, #tf2.mercs.9v9, both on QuakeNet.

Hopefully people will get as much use out of this bot as they did with the old #tf.mercs bot back in the day (or at least, it seems they did, since Nislem was constantly bugging me to fix it ;-) ).

Everything you need to know is in the readme (linked below). Let me know if you have any ideas for improvement, or find any bugs. :-)

6v6 channel: #tf2.mercs on QuakeNet
9v9 channel: #tf2.mercs.9v9 on QuakeNet
