SerinApprox | mIRC Update Approximation Script
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2014 5:35 pm
SerinApprox 1.2
What is it?
SerinApprox is a system used by Serina - the IRC bot I set up for Lazarus, The East Pacific, and the Lazerene Liberation Army. The system uses NationStates++ API to take Timestamps and calculate them into a useable estimation of updatetime.
How does it work?
Serina uses NationStates++(as previously mentioned), which calculates updatetime based on things like issues answered, delegate switches, ect. This will be far more accurate on more active regions then systems like FriarTuck, who guesstimate based off of the NationStates data dumps, NS++ (And Serina as a result) use hard calculated data. This is going to be far more accurate on more active regions (Serina has been 2-3 minutes more accurate then FT on several situations - which obviously is life and death during a update) but will suffer on more inactive regions because no data has been collected.
Do I need NS++ to make it work?
No - It reads data directly from the NS++ website.
Who to credit?
I would be lieing if i took full credit for the project, I suuuuck with sockets and the like, I'd infact argue most of the credit goes to the scripting help channel in EsperNet, the guys there are exceptionally awesome.
How to use it?
Plug it into the 'Remote' tab of the mIRC script editor, then .approx (region) and if the bot is set up right, it will spit out the region, guesstimated approximation, and even by how much this estimation may be off.
IMPORTANT: Change #YOURCHANNEL in the .approx command to what channel you want it to work in!
<sidenote> You'll need to use underscores (_) for regions that are multiple words (ex: The_East_Pacific instead of The East Pacific), this is really easilly fixable but I am lazy.</sidenote>
Where do I get it?
Here(1.2) (7/29/2015)
Here(1.0) (6/28/2014)
Here(0.97) (4/08/2014)
Here(0.96) (2/20/2014)
Should I expect updates/support?
I'm generally lurking on #hobbeshost on espernet, Please don't TG me for support over this; I get enough telegrams as is.
Cormac: Does it report back to me/the LLA?
Sadly(kidding), no. The code is published and anyone can look it over assured its not reporting back to the hobbeshost spying center.
