I really, really miss repbot alerts.  I know I can use 'waitfor', but I have to set that every time I log in.

Is there no way to incorporate this feature back into the new generation repbot? 

Perhaps it would be possible to register a match as unfinished manually - cos repbot seems to have a fair handle of what matches I have recently played - and then he can cancel it when the match is finished....

Is this possible?  Is it too much work to save me too little?

Just thought I would ask  Wink

Let me tell you how I handle this.

I use JavaFibs. Whenever there is an unfinished match, I add the opponent to my friends list  Yes and color him glaringly red. This way I can see when he logs in or out ..... After a finished match I take him of my list. True friends are blue on my list, league mates are green.

yes, I do this kind of thing - but you can end up with a lot of colours...

red is me...
Patti is green...
friends are blue...
FLG opponents are pink this season...
team league are purple
nacci are orange
special friends are lime green, dark green and gold
bots..tourney and rep are a sort of dirty red colour...
everyone else is black

can you see where I am going  Wink  I end up forgetting who is still outstanding, and to remove them  blink blink

I agree with diane.  I'm getting too many colors now, so I'm starting to be confused about what color is what.   cry  That just gave me an idea, tho.  I'll make a special file to give me the code!    veryhappy
Diane already has one started for herself.   Wink

Unfortunately it is not completely trivial, simple rationale. The old saved games list listed the names of saved games opponents, so alerts were based on them. The new "show savedcount" command, which replaces the list, only gives the number of saved games, but it is not possible to find out who were the opponents. Patti needed to provide a new hook here, either a command or a web page, which repbot could use.

Yes, that is feasible. There is a small error probability in it, as repbot has "only" 99.8% uptime or so, thus a tiny fraction of match ends could be missed. This would result in false negatives or positives, dependent how "unknown" is handled. Workload wise, I would think this is feasible on a long weekend, nice suggestion Diane. I consider adding this.
