             There are a few new developments 
              on the Hal front, starting with the fact that we now have a new 
              easier to remember URL: 
              www.halbot.co.uk 
            There are also some new forums (without 
              adverts) which can be seen here: 
              www.halbot.co.uk/forums/ 
            The new version of Hal is still 
              in development. 'GingaNutz' has joined the coding team, and, as 
              with the rest of us, can be contacted in the new forums 
              for help and information on both the current version of hal, and 
              the upcoming release.

             We're still beavering away 
              with Hal, even though the website's been quiet for a while. At the 
              moment, we're taking on board the feedback we've been receiving, 
              and we're planning on a big update in the not too distant future. 
            There's going to be a number 
              of changes and some exciting new features that are a little hush-hush 
              right now. Look forward to multiple server support, WON ID authing 
              (no need for a client in the next release) and more. Soon.

       Hal 
        Bot - The Ultimate Half Life Admin Tool 
         
         
         
         
        What 
        is it? 
         
        Hal is a small program that allows 
        admins to control a Team Fortress or Counter-Strike server with added 
        ease. 
      It has many advantages 
        over using standard RCON, and offers the unique ability to speak normally 
        ingame in order to make changes to the map, kick or ban disruptive players 
        and much more. Simply by saying "!m 2fort", you can change the 
        map to - you guessed it - 2Fort 
      Unlike standard 
        RCON, Hal introduces User Levels. If you're a server admin, and want to 
        give trusted users the ability to kick players, but you're concerned about 
        handing out your RCON password, no problem. You can give your trusted 
        players a ranking within Hal, enabling them access to only the commands 
        you want them to access. 
         
        Hal does NOT have to be running on the game server, it can be run on any 
        machine with an internet connection. 
       
         
       
        Who can use it? 
         
        Anyone that has RCON access to a game server can 
        use the Hal server. Hal will be useful to any clan that regularly rents 
        a server for practice, or full time. Hal has the ability to greatly aid 
        a League admin or Ref in their daily job of administering a server. 
         
         
        What can I use it for? 
         
        Hal bot is able to change a wide variety of server 
        variables, a list of which is available here 
        and in the help file. 
         
        There are many uses, but here is a brief list of some of the benefits 
        over standard RCON: 
         
        Ability to set up user levels - different players have access to 
        different commands. 
       
			 High level
				users of the bot have the ability to:  Change pre-match quickly and
				easily  Kick\Ban disruptive players quickly  Change the
				current map faster    Anyone on the server has the ability to: 
				Initiate a vote map  Initiate a kick vote    Hal features customisable
				notices such as the Server name and Admin name\contact which the bot will
				announce upon hearing "Hal Server" and "Hal Admin" respectively.    For
				more details on the commands that Hal offers, please see the
				Commands Page.
