So apparently ES still take screenshots every few minutes to keep track of the queue even after all these years. They do this to know where to nudge people when they ping.

When I found this out I was shocked. So shocked, in fact, that I went ahead and made a script that keeps track of the queue for them. It puts messages in chat about where the person was when they pinged like this:



It also creates a queue_state.txt file in your code directory wit the queue order, should your game suddenly crash.



Hopefully this will make somebody's life easier.

And of course, please report any bugs that you find.

Big update to the script, added a few new features:

• Now properly tracks pinged people in the queue_state.txt log:

• Now shows numbers next to people's names in queue corresponding to their positions:

• Now has an option to automatically nudge pinged people, as well as force enter pinged people during knockout mode.
  
• All options are togglable via chat commands.
  
• The script creates a configuration file in your core toribash directory and stores your enabled options. Next time you load the script, you don't need to re-enable every setting.
  
• Renamed the script to host_tools.lua since it is less of a meme now.

More updates to come hopefully.

Minor update:

• Fixed a few oddities with queue numbers placements
• Fixed nudging during replays. If the nudge fails, the script will wait for the new game to start, and try to nudge again.

Another update:

• Adjusted queue numbers position for legends
• Fixed queue numbers showing up inside the menu
• Fixed autonudge repeatedly attempting to nudge people when user does not have OP powers
• Script will now automatically disable autonudge when you switch servers
• Added an automatic fknock if autonudge and knockout mode are on, and one of the players disconnects
