Does anyone know if the bot used in mpuktf2.pickup2 is available to download??

Found a similar concept bot but looks unfinished.
http://code.google.com/p/tf2pickup/ (Looks to be v good in features, but not as refined. as it is an un-finished project, or so it seems.)

Also #tf2.pickup that’s an invite only channel, that one of F2? Or someone else’s?
(that’s the div1/prem channel right?)

F2’s pickup bot is closed source, but I believe he has previously distributed it compiled.

The pickup bot I was building for frenchies is close to being done, I didn’t finish it, but if it interests you I can put the unfinished code on my github.

That would be cool, what stage was it at? shame about F2’s if that’s the case. Just out of interest how come it was not finished? Lack of time or they found something else?

—EDIT—-
seems like someone is going huge with tf2.pickup… as they also have a website http://www.tf2pickup.com/ registed 19 feb 2012. http://www.whois-search.com/whois/www.tf2pickup.com

I just got involved with other things and it got put on the back burner, if it still interests them I could finish it I guess.

This bot was written by me months ago, tho I’ve never finished it. Reasons are that I’ve choosen an unclever programming-language (Java) and that I’ve run out of free time to continue coding. However the code is well commentated and can be easily ported to better-suited languages if you ask me. I may help if somebody wants to do this.

TF2-America uses https://github.com/qpingu/tf2.pug.na-irc-bot, a bot written in Perl, dunno if this one is still alive.

In my experience pickups don’t work very well despite of famous pixel and mpuktf2.pickup2, simply because the community is too small.

I dont know about you but I am kind of irritated.
Why do we need new channels, new channel, new channels, why not simply use the one we already have.
pixel pickup for example. A long time since I have seen two pickups running at the same time.
Also there is the problem that people add up to several pickups at the same time and time out when the pickup is going to start.
So we should definitely boost and invite new people to the pickup channels we have, or better reduce to one channel only.

Xerxes speaking some big truths. Kind of weird, about 3 people have asked me for the pixel pickup bot in the last week.

some local communities have more active players than global pixel or pu2… why would u force them to play in english?

p.s. pixel is so shit it cant even become good since there is no skill system in it and ppl cant choose team… id imagine ppl cba playing it when 3 prem players add with mainclass and end up in same team 2 pickups in a row….

in such case even yank system of captains seem better

If anybody is still thinking about taking the code of an existing bot an modifying it, please follow Animal’s advice and make it a NA-pug captain style pickup.

Why? We can try to enforce all kinds of rules and regulations to try and make sure that the pickups are fair, balanced, and enjoyable for everyone, but in the end, the best method of regulation is social control.

Just putting that out there, maybe too close to a Simpsons-style “someone else should do it”, but in this case it’s more “IF someone else is tempted to do it, then please do it this way” :P
