QuakeNet services released to the public

Posted by meeb on Monday 23 September 2013

The QuakeNet development team is pleased to announce that after many, many years of work we are releasing our modular services platform, collectively known as "newserv", along with several core modules under the GPLv2 licence. newserv powers the core of all QuakeNet services, including all our service bots (such as Q and S).

The released version of Newserv includes the following key functionality:

Extensive network searching
Scripting (in Lua)
Proxy drone detection
Transactional g:lines
Juping
Chanfix (keeps / restores known ops)
Chanserv (current version of Q on QuakeNet, Q9)
Help services (current version of G on QuakeNet)
Channel services request (current version of R on QuakeNet)
QA & Tutor bots
Server lists with latency
Role-based access checks for oper commands
Connection limiting (powers "connection trusts" on QuakeNet)
Lots, lots more, including a carrot

You can view the full source code here:

If you have any suggestions, would like to contribute code or just chat to the development team you can find us in #dev on QuakeNet.
