Making Lobby

Issue the !mp make command to create a new lobby. Bot manages lobbies via IRC, but only lobbies where you are a referee can be communicated with via IRC.

Entering Lobby

When you restart the bot, it will be able to re-enter the lobby it has already created. The bot will analyze the lobby history and try to restore the order of hosts.

IRC Chat

You can send a chat message to the lobby from the console. Type say followed by the message you want to send.

#mp_10000 > say hello guys!

Auto Host Rotation

When a player enters a room, they are added to the end of the host queue. The player at the front of the queue is the host. If a player who has left the room re-enters, they will be added to the end of the queue. The host queue is rotated immediately after the game starts, so players who join during the game will be added behind the current host. If a host leaves the lobby after selecting a map, the next host can choose to start the game or re-select a map. If the new host starts the game, they will continue to be the host after the game. To check the current queue, type info on the console screen.

#mp_10000 > info
=== lobby status ===
  lobby id : 10000
  status : Entered
  players : 3, inGame : 0 (playing : 0)
  refs : xxxx
  host : player1, pending : null
-- AutoHostSelector --
  current host queue
    palyer1, player2, player3
...

Voting for skipping current host

Typing !skip when you aren't host results in a vote. When half of the lobby has voted, the host will be forcibly skipped. The required percentage of votes can be changed in the config file. If a host skips, it will immediately move to the next person. Hosts that have been AFK can be skipped with this feature.

Starting the match

The game will start automatically when everyone is in the ready state. Please note that the game will not start automatically when everyone is ready as a result of a user leaving the game. A player can vote for the start of the game with !start. The host can start the start timer with !start <time>.

Voting for abort the match

If the game starts and the message "waiting for players" is displayed and the game cannot proceed, the game may be aborted by voting with !abort. If the abort is approved but the map has not been played, the host will not be changed. If the map is changed through the console, the host will be rotated. If a player has finished the map, the game will behave as if it had ended normally.

Closing the lobby

Lobbies created with !mp make will continue to exist until a certain amount of time has passed, even if there are no more players. Since this is a long time, and may cause problems for other users, the lobby will be automatically be closed if no one is in it for a certain period of time. If close now is issued in the console, the !mp close command will be sent and the lobby will be closed immediately.
If a number of seconds is specified as an argument, such as close 30, the lobby will wait until a password is set and for everyone to leave, then the lobby will close after the specified number of seconds has passed. If close is issued, the lobby will be closed after the password is set and everyone has left.

Discord Integration

You can control AHR lobbies via a Discord bot, which allows you to access in-game chat and execute lobby control commands from Discord channels.

Discord Setup

discord.js requires Node.js 16.6 or higher to use, so make sure you're up to date. To check your Node version, use node -v in your terminal or command prompt, and if it's not high enough, update it.

Creating your bot

Setting up a bot application

Follow the link above to create a bot and obtain the token for the bot. The obtained token should be written in ./config/local.json as follows:

{
  "irc": {
    "server": "irc.ppy.sh",
    "nick": "------",
    "opt": {
      "port": 6667,
      "password": "-------",
    }
  },
  "Discord": {
    "token": "THISiSsAMPLEtOKENasdfy.X-hvzA.Ovy4MCQywSkoMRRclStW4xAYK7I"
  }
}

Startup

Start the bot with the following command:

npm run start:discord

After successful activation, a Discord Bot invitation link will appear in the terminal. Click on it to invite it to your guild.

[12:00:00.000][INFO] discord - discord bot is ready.
[12:00:00.100][INFO] discord - invite link => https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=123&scope=bot+applications.commands&permissions=268435472

[Caution] For security reasons, please do not make this bot a public bot. Any problems that may arise are entirely your responsibility.

Role settings

When a bot is invited to a guild, the ahr-admin role is created. Only users with this role will be able to manage the lobby. You should assign this role to your own account.

Make a new lobby

You can make a lobby by executing the /make (lobby name) command in your guild. (You need to have the ahr-admin role to run this command). If the command succeeds, a tournament lobby will be created in OSU multiplayer, and a #matches channel will be created for your guild.

You can make up to four lobbies at the same time, but the bot can only send ten messages every five seconds. It is recommended to keep the number of lobbies to one or two, as each additional lobby increases the delay in sending messages for the bot.

Check match Status

The status of each match can be check in the information panel on the "matches" channel. The information panel will be automatically updated as needed.

Transfer ingame chat

You can transfer the in-game chat to your guild's channel by pressing the "Start Transfer" button at the bottom of the information panel. When you press that button, a bridge channel will be created starting with "#mp_", where you can see the in-game chat and some logs.

Join an existing lobby

If the bot has been terminated due to a glitch or some other reason, you can use the /enter command after restarting to resume lobby management. The command requires lobby_id. It is the numerical part of "#mp_12345".

/enter lobby_id:123456

If the guild still has the bridge channel, you can run the /enter command without the lobby_id in the bridge channel.

Chat forwarding

The /say [message] command is used to forward a message to the in-game chat. This command takes the message to be forwarded and the lobby_id as options, but you can omit the lobby_id if you are in a bridge channel. It can also be used to issue tournament commands such as !mp start, and owner commands such as *regulation.

/say message:hello lobby_id:123456
/say message:!mp start 120
/say message:*regulation max_star=8.99
