What is Spunky Bot?

Spunky Bot is a lightweight game server administration bot and RCON tool. Its purpose is to administer, manage and maintain an Urban Terror 4.1 / 4.2 / 4.3 server and to provide real time statistics data for players. Spunky Bot is a cross-platform package and offers in-game commands without authentication and automated administration even when no admin is online. The code of Spunky Bot is inspired by the eb2k9 bot by Shawn Haggard, which was released under the Beerware License.

Heartbeat

Spunky Bot has an option to send a heartbeat signal to our masterserver. There is no client data sent to the masterserver at all! Data in the heartbeat packet contain: Spunky Bot version, the port of the game server and the operating system version. The information is used for generating global statistics and to determine operating system popularity.
