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?
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.
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?
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.
